Is Garden House Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The games room with pool table provides entertainment for children of all ages. Six bedrooms give families plenty of space to spread out. The property sits within easy reach of Waterhead pier for lake activities and boat trips. Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is less than a mile away for short family walks. Ambleside town offers shops and cafes. The balcony provides safe outdoor space for enjoying views.
For Couples
Garden House is too large for couples wanting an intimate retreat. The property sleeps 12 and works best for groups or families. Couples would find the six-bedroom layout excessive for romantic breaks. The spacious accommodation and group facilities like the games room are designed for larger parties. Couples should consider smaller properties in the Lakelovers collection for a more suitable romantic setting.

Rydal Water and multiple fell walks sit within easy reach. The garden area provides outdoor space though it is not enclosed. Contact Lakelovers directly before booking to confirm their pet policy and any restrictions or additional charges that may apply.

Garden House Reviews

Great house with everything needed for a relaxing break.
Richard
Garden House is a spacious, well appointed house with superb views and a very popular pool room! It is very well situated just a short walk into Ambleside and easily accommodates our group.
Garden House is situated in an amazing location just outside Ambleside. T certainly has the wow factor. It's a large house ideal for our family holiday. The views from the main lounge were outstanding and we all had a wonderful time. The facilities especially in the kitchen were great, everything was catered for. We will definitely be back.
Great house in a great location. Beautifully presented. Thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely house.
Comfy, spacious, well equipped added to the success of a gathering of family members to celebrate an event.
Alison
Wow what a great place, its a lot bigger than the pictures make out. Great location too. My son even tried to book it again while we were there. Only thing I would say is we had no logs to do the fire, we had to go and get some.
This was my second stay at Garden house, it is situated near the centre of Ambleside, fantastic views over the Lake District hills. The accommodation is spacious and very comfortable. Close to all amenities. The kitchen is really well equipped. The family all enjoyed their stay including the younger ones as the pool table kept them occupied and the size of the house meant that all those who stayed had plenty of room to either quietly read or play with the kids. Would fully recommend it for a family or friends catch up together. Thank you
Our mixed group once again enjoyed the flexibility this house has to offer. We were disappointed to find the EV charger was still not working for one of our group a year after flagging it up last year. We would suggest that the house information book be updated, as the phone number listed to report a problem is only for bookings, and there are no instructions for the EV charger. All that said, we have booked again for another year.
The property was perfect lots of room for a large family they have thought of everything would definitely stay again everything a stones throw away it's a beautiful house a great time had by all . Well worth the money we paid to stay for the week
Sheila
I am 85 years old and have been to the Garden house four or five times. It is kept in great decorative order and I cannot fault the cleanliness but I do miss a hand rail up the staircases in the house as I am not very good at climbing stairs and cannot do this without one of the family being with me. Perhaps you could give me your thoughts on this. Sheila Muff
Amazing location beautiful views. Modern and homely decor . Suitable for families or group of friends .
Excellent stay accommodating our mixed group. Well equipped kitchen, only drawback was kitchen table only seated eight. Livingroom easily big enough for us all. Comfortable beds and the house was nice and warm. Unfortunately the EV charger wasn't working for one of our group and we couldn't find any instructions for it. They were able to find a charging unit in a local car park. We would certainly return as the house suited all our needs and was well located for restaurants, and great walks from the house.
Elaine
Absolutely delighted with Garden House. ...photos do not do it justice. Everything was top notch and high spec....the whole family had the best stay...great location too...can't wait to return.
Ian Robert

Beautiful house. Fantastic weekend with the family. Thank you. Tried to book again but fully booked and not surprising.
Richard
Garden House was a brilliant place to stay spacious, well equipped and with beautiful views. We enjoyed the pool table too! Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
Darren
Great house thanks. Very convenient for Ambleside and the lake. Tried a few local pubs, there are many. Didn't really use the games room. A coffee machine would be nice EG Nespresso We were cycling and there isn't anywhere to store bikes so we loaded in our van each night. Not a complaint as such just a note to other cyclists.
Lovely house in a great position. Great view from the main room. Wellstocked. Small points we never really got the heating to work properly in the bedroom area off the games room. The garden is not really appropriate for small children as it is not enclosed and all steps. Nice place for a bbq though!
We have been visiting this property for many years & had a very enjoyable holiday.
We had a lovely stay at Garden House over New Year. Great views from the balcony of the NYE fireworks. Rubbish had piled up outside but we phoned and this was sorted same day. We only used one bedroom as only two of us, very comfortable and lovely bathrooms. The playroom and downstairs bedroom were very cold but as not used wasnt a problem for us. So close to centre but also very quiet. Saw the deer in the front garden. Will definitely return and recommend to others
Barbara
Garden House was warm clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Might be an idea to get rid of mat in kitchen as end had turned up and three of us tripped on it. First bedroom on left coming down stairs double twin room not enough hooks on curtain looks a bit scruffy. Bathrooms and showers excellent. We loved it.
Sharon
The best house to rent in Ambleside for 2 families. We thought the bathroom updates were great and always find it a comfortable homely space. Already booked for next year
First class holiday accommodation in a great location. We really couldn't have wished for anything more.
Everything was good although found a couple of high cobwebs I would ... Everything was good although found a couple of high cobwebs I would definitely recommend one confusion bins collected on Thursday but told to put bins out on Tuesday a brilliant holiday and would use again
This is our second visit to Garden House. Yet again we had a lovely holiday with our extended family. Plenty of room for two families. Everything we could possibly need for our stay. Good well equipped kitchen. Beautiful evenings spent sat on the balcony with a glass of wine enjoying the views. Looking forward to returning next year
Lovely property, fabulous for our requirements. Brilliant to have some outside space. Inside all lovely.
