Is Cloud Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Cloud Cottage provides a travel cot and highchair on request for families with young children. The spacious three-storey layout gives kids room to play safely indoors. Brockhole on Windermere offers outdoor activities just three miles away. Lakes Aquarium displays Britain's largest freshwater fish collection nine miles from the cottage. Stock Ghyll Force waterfall provides an easy family walk from the doorstep.
For Couples
This property works better for families and groups than couples seeking a romantic retreat. The three-bedroom layout and central town location suit larger parties rather than intimate getaways.

Dog owners will need to find alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes animals.

Cloud Cottage Reviews

We can only agree with previous reviews lovely cottage, clean, spacious, comfortable, warm, well equipped and everything we needed for a great stay in Ambleside. It is tucked away in a quiet street but very central for shops, cafes etc and 5 minute walk to choice of many buses all over the lake district.
Kathleen
Lovely cottage clean, warm, spacious and an excellent central location. Would stay again and recommend.
The cottage is really spacious and perfect for a family of 4 it could fit more people in! . Really central to Ambleside but really quiet from any noise. Parking is a bit challenging but we were lucky to find a space straight away on our first day. A lovely stay!
