Greenways Reviews

Maureen

We have stayed at Greenways several times and it is a lovely bungalow and is in a fantastic location. The property is very clean and the owner has provided everything you need. However, for us, this time we felt the sofas were not comfortable. They offer no support and are very soft. The same also applies to the mattress in the main bedroom, very soft and no support. We were also disappointed that the TV has been replaced and is not a Smart TV, like a lot of people we prefer to catch up later on TV programmes.

Sandra

This was our second stay at Greenways. The property is perfect, extremely clean and well equipped. We wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting the lake district now. As well as being such a lovely property, it's location in Ambleside is ideal as you can walk to the shops, restaurants etc in five minutes. You can also leave your car parked at the property and do walks. We're already looking at dates for a return visit next year!

Claire

Fabulous bungalow in a wonderful setting and only a very short walk away from the centre of Ambleside.

Very impressed with the property, it felt homely and was well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The property was perfectly situated for exploring villages, market towns and the surrounding countryside.

We had a great week at Greenways. The accommodation was perfect and the owner very helpful. Spotlessly clean and in a great location. We didn't use our car all week as there were so many beautiful walks to do and places to visit around Ambleside. The town is only a couple of minutes walk. We would definitely stay at Greenways again.

Stuart

Terrific place, booked again for next year when we got into Greenways

Elaine

A well equipped bungalow in an ideal location. Extremely clean and tidy. Perfect for the two of us and our little pooch who especially enjoyed the complimentary treat. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We were very happy with the accommodation our wee dog also secure garden and plenty seating areas round the garden the cottage was very comfortable everything was thought of to make you feel welcome would be very happy to recommend Greenways to anybody only a short walk to town centre and everything the lakes have to offer

Jeanette

We had a wonderful weeks stay in Greenways with our dog. Its a lovely cottage set on a slight incline and only five minutes walk to the centre of Ambleside, so the location is excellent for pubs and shops. A bonus too is the private parking space. Its spacious, wellequipped, clean and comfy. The ample outside space was enclosed and private so we could enjoy sitting out in the sunshine. We didnt use the car all week as we walked with our dog to Grasmere, Bowness on Windermere and Elterwater, then taking a bus back to Ambleside. We loved it and would like to stay here again.

Russell

Lovely cottage, great location, all facilities were of an excellent standard. Front and back patios were very nice especially as the weather was good. Would highly recommend if you were wanting to stay in Ambleside. We never used the cars all week as did walks from Ambleside.

Arriving at the Greenways was straightforward. The property is situated up a slight incline. However the location is ideal and just a five minute walk into the centre of Ambleside. The Greenways is very well equipped. The owners have thought of all eventualties. Self catering you need a well equipped kitchen and The Greenways certainly delivers. The outside area is a lovely sun trap and quite sheltered. We took our small dog and with the enclosed garden it was safe to have a wander around. It is so quiet and peaceful so was ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Graham

This was our third stay at Greenways, and it is a fantastic property. It is fully equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable and relaxing break. It is perfectly located and has ample off road parking. The seated garden spaces provide a real sun trap if youre lucky enough to get some sunshine, as we did over the last week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greenways.

Gillian

Have stay in many cottages over the years in Ambleside, Grrenways is definitely the best, absolutely spotless, we had everything we needed. It felt like home from home. It was very peaceful, and we had some lovely warm weather for March. We love Greenways so much we have already booked to come again in September with Eddie the pug who didn't want to leave. Gill March 26

We had such a wonderful stay. The cottage was so cosy, warm, and exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed. It felt like one of the best kittedout places weve stayed in! One of the highlights was the location. Its really close to town, but so lovely and quiet, and just a short walk to the many pubs and restaurants. We also really appreciated how dogfriendly everything is in Ambleside. Wed absolutely love to stay again.

Lilian

Our second stay at Greenways and hopefully not our last. Lovely and clean and very comfortable with wonderful mountain views .

Treena

Delightful property, really clean and well stocked. The location is perfect and the view from the living room window is just lovely.

Pauline

Another great week in the cottage its perfect in every way its cosy its clean its really warm I cannot fault anything we always feel at home when we arrive and even when its raining its a lovely home to relax in and chill out when were in the lakes I wouldnt stay anywhere else

Another very enjoyable week at Greenways made all the better because of the lovely weather considering the time of year with only one rainy day. Cottage was well equipped with everything you could need.

Sandra

We have stayed at various properties in Ambleside but have always been disappointed not this time. As soon as we entered the property we were impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the furnishings etc. The kitchen was so well equipped, even with lots of cleaning products that I didn't need to use any of mine most properties don't have any, so I always take some. Unfortunately it wasn't sunny enough to sit in the garden, but sitting in the living room, you can watch all the birds flying around the trees and bushes just outside. The property is in a peaceful location but only a few minutes walk down to the shops etc. There are walks to do from the property so you can have car free days out. We definitely recommend Greenways and next time we return to the lake district, we'll be booking this property. Thank you for providing such a comfortable, cosy holiday property.

Carole

Bungalow was home from home. Furnished with good quality furniture and soft furnishings. Very well equipped kitchen and spacious. Very clean and perfect location. Many walks can be done from the door. Garden front and back so if lucky to get the sun, like we did, you can catch it in the garden all day. Will definitely be booking again.

Richard

Super clean place to stay , everything you need in the property and great ... Super clean place to stay , everything you need in the property and great parking space, really central location too , definitely would recommend

We had a lovely stay at Greenways, was a delight to come back to after a long day walking. Not having to drive all week was great, everything from your doorstep. We would recommend a walk or bus to Grassmere, buses every 15 mins absolutely beautiful, the lake has lots of private areas with benches, great for people who love openwater swimming. Rydal Lake and caves a good day out, Ambleside has a large lovely park Rothay, 15 min walk for our fur babies to have a run and great for families, play, picnics and ice cream

Greenway's Holiday cottage continues to be the perfect retreat, with all the comforts of a home and a truly peaceful atmosphere. The cleanliness of the cottage is exceptional, and we highly recommend!

Robert

Our stay at Greenways was brilliant. The property itself was amazingly clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. With 2 different areas to sit out front and rear you could sit in the sun all day if you wanted to, It was like home from home to us and would definitely stay here again

Caroline

Lovely cottage in a great location, clean and well maintained. It suited us perfectly. The hill on Gale Rigg is steep but not a problem for any of our party. The location is quiet, yet very close to Ambleside shops and attractions. There is something for everyone in Ambleside and so do hope to book again next year.

Andreas

We spent a very pleasant week in Greenways very clean, tidy and well equipped ... We spent a very pleasant week in Greenways very clean, tidy and well equipped property very friendly communication with the owners and uncomplicated handling of a problem that occured we would love to come back

A very clean and well equipped property. Very convenient for Ambleside and good parking. Lovely garden, I had my eye on a lovely hosta and managed to buy one! One of the reasons we booked this property was it has a bath but the bathroom and bath are very small. You can't lie down properly in the bath, it's too short and shallow. The overhead shower is good but I am a bath person! We had amazing weather for the Lakes and the duvets were much too hot unfortunately. A very quiet neighbourhood. One observation, think this is the only property we have stayed in in the Lakes, and we've stayed in a few, that didn't have a welcome pack, ie biscuits, bottle of wine or the like.

Maureen

We have stayed at Greenways for several years and just love the bungalow. It is so peaceful and just a short walk to the shops in Ambleside. Hope to return again.

Graham

This is our second stay at Greenways and we had a lovely week. The property is perfect for a break in Ambleside. It is spotless and has everything and more that you need to enjoy your stay. We had a full week of constant sunshine and we made great use of the garden patio areas, which are real sun traps. Parking is excellent with plenty of room for two cars. We hope to be back again soon.

We visited Greenways many years ago so it was nice to return, lots of happy memories! ! The property is immaculate, very clean , cosy and comfortable with lovely views of Wansfell and Todd Crag. With the added bonus of the lovely weather this week we managed many high level walks but it was so nice to return to Greenways later to relax and enjoy the warm sunshine on both the sheltered patios. It was so peaceful and quiet and lovely just to hear the birdsong. Just a few minutes in to the centre of the village it is ideally situated. We would love to return. Thank you.

A calm and peaceful stay at Greenways enjoying the spring views from every window and even a sit out in the garden with the emerging buds and green shoots, serenaded by resident Robin et al. Many Thanks.

Lilian

We had a lovely relaxing week at Greenway, felt at home right away. Views from every window and it was so quiet even though it was only a five minute walk to the town centre. Will definitely return.

Pauline

Darrell

Our second stay at Greenways. Spotless, warm and everything you could need in holiday accommodation.

We had a lovely week at Greenways. Only a five minute walk into Ambleside yet Greenways is so peaceful. We couldnt fault the cottage at all. It was very well equipped ,spotlessly clean and very comfortable.So much attention to detail. Unfortunately we lost our dog in June so he didnt get to enjoy it but I am sure he would have. Its one of the best weve stayed in. We cant wait to come back.

We had a great week in Ambleside. Greenways is a lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped bungalow with parking. It is a short downhill walk into the centre of Ambleside and is well situated for catching local buses.

What a lovely place to stay. Pretty views and only a short walk from shops.

Caroline

We had a lovely time nice clean comfortable property very quiet and peaceful. Lovely place to stay .

Maureen

The bungalow is very comfortable and clean and has everything you need. It is in a lovely quiet location, has great parking and is only a very short walk from the shops in Ambleside. We had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to returning in May 2025.
