Five of us stayed here for the weekend. Beautiful cottage very clean, with an extremely large bathroom. We did notice there were no spare toilet rolls, so we bought some. After we returned home, we received a message apologising for this, stating that a pack had been left on the doorstep. The cottage is very close to the centre, so everything is within walking distance. Buses to other towns ran every 20 minutes and were reasonably priced, and we had a lovely day sightseeing. We didnt use the back yard but had a quick look. It could do with a jet wash, but I can imagine it being a nice area to sit out with a glass of wine in the summer. The cottage comes with a permit to park outside, but the couple who recently bought next door had two cars, one of which was a large 4x4 parked directly outside, which blocked the light a little. We did speak to them when leaving to ask generally about permits not as a complaint and were told they dont get issued permits anymore, only historic ones are renewed. We didnt bring a car, so it wasnt an issue for us, but I can imagine that if someone did, and the property advertises a permit to park on the road outside, they would expect to be able to do so. Overall, our experience of the property was a 1010, and we would highly recommend staying here.

Ideal location, well equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms. Very very clean throughout. Beds very comfy. We were out most of the day every day but the house was a perfect base for adventures.

Loved the property. There were no visitors permit so my husband got a parking ticket as he thought the one he did have was a visitor.
Lovely cottage in the perfect location. Really well presented with a wonderful bathroom perfect for a good soak after a day on the fells.

Excellent property, well presented and a great base for our family of 5 to stay and enjoy the lakes.
David Owen
Fell cottage was fantastic venue for us as family literally in walking distance so made it easy for us to pop in and out of our mums house. The cottage was brilliant..love the kitchen and the bathroom !! it had everything we needed. Definitely be back .
Fell cottage was ideal clean tidy and had everything you needed. We managed to park on the road outside using visitors pass every day. Ideal location and great property would stay again
Excellent option for us in the Lake District, 4 adults. Good location and appointments. Only negative was slow response to maintenance request.
Hannah
Fabulous location and gorgeous house. We loved our stay. Kitchen was well equipped and comfy. House is cosy but to be expected given location and style. It was beautifully kitted out though, had everything we needed, was clean and felt very well maintained. The first floor bathroom was beautiful. Second showerWC on ground floor is very compact. Great boot room at the back of the kitchen and we appreciated the washerdryer and dishwasher. Smart TV for streaming was perfect. Could have done with fans in the bedrooms particularly the top two rooms as it was very warm seasonal issue we appreciate!. We loved being right in the middle of everything. We appreciated understanding the limitations with parking before we arrived but, with that in mind, we never had an issue parking in one of the carparks or approved roads around town so the car was never more than 5mins walk away. Never had to wait for a space and even managed to park on the house road for loading at the end of our stay. The only slight niggle was our question to the owners through the Sykes Cottages ask the owners system ahead of our arrival was not answered unsure if this was the owner or the manager but disappointing either way. We were relieved to have no issues as were consequently concerned how to reach out if there had been a problem!
Sper confortable beds.
Just a few little pointers. Twin room blinds don't fit properly so gap between them , bright sunlight waking me up very early. Toilet seat in downstairs toilet very wobbly. Not enough soft pillows, only one for each single bed. Large bath towels only in one double bedroom, much smaller ones in the other 2 rooms Apart from those minor points, beautiful property to great location and incredible weather!
The accommodation was in an ideal location in the centre of Ambleside. It was perfect for our family of 4. We were greeted with a bottle of prosecco and biscuits. It was great to have 2 shower rooms, one of which was very large and luxurious with a freestanding tub and walk in shower, all of which were very clean, as was the entire living area. The beds were comfortable with a plethora of pillows and it was nice to have a desk, a suitcase stand, and a room to store shoes and coats. The kitchen was charming and had everything we needed for cooking and sharing a meal at the table except washing up liquidbut it did have a working dishwasher. The heating worked well to quickly warm every floor and the area was very quiet with some lovely birds tweeting outside our windows. Parking was tricky at first, as the street outside the cottage is tight and there weren't any spots. We parked a few minutes away in the Council Car Park for the first night. But the next morning we found a spot right outside the cottage. Our only request would be more large bath towels. The arrangement of sofas in the living room is also a bit awkward for viewing the TV. But overall, it was a wonderful, relaxing stay and we would highly recommend Fell Cottage.
Fantastic property right in the centre of Ambleside and only a 2 minute walk to the main street. We wouldnt hesitate to come back.The cottage was spotlessly clean ,a huge well done to the people that maintain this high standard.The cottage has everything you could need,all kitchen equipment,a utility room,downstairs shower and toilet,three lovely bedrooms and an amazing bath.We didn't manage to get parking outside the house,but used the car park that was a 5 minute walk away,using the free permit which was a huge bonus.
Rachel
The property was a amazing, everything you needed, lovely and clean and very central our only fault would be, two friends had bath sheets and three had bath towels, I believe that all occupants should be provided with bath sheets, but this is very minor, would defiantly return thank you for an amazing break.
