Greenways Reviews

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

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

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

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.

Graham

Greenways is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. It has everything that you need to enjoy a fantastic break in Ambleside. The cottage was perfect. It is fully stocked and extremely comfortable. It has two outdoor seating areas, and both are real sun traps if youre lucky enough to get some sun. Easy parking on the drive in front of the cottage and a short stroll into town. We hope to book again next year.

A lovely place that has everything that you need whilst away from home. A short walk from the town, so the location for us was perfect.

As Always we have been very happy .

Caroline

We had another lovely stay at Greenways. It is definitely home from home. It is very clean and well equipped. Location is very good and central. The garden is lovely with 2 seating areas but the garden isn't fully secure for our little dog as she jumped over the wall into the next garden. This would not put us off as we kept her on a long lead after that. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Liked it enough to book next year.

Deborah

Greenaway was a lovely place to stay. Everything was very clean and we loved the views from the kitchen and lounge . The garden was great for our dog and there are lots of good walks from the cottage so no need to use the car everyday. It was also very handy for the shops and cafe's just down the road. Would love to stay here again sometime.

Deborah

Everything about this property was perfect the size, location, cleanliness, and amenities. We love the Lakes and Ambleside, and staying here allowed us to enjoy the surrounding area with all the comforts of home. Thank you, we will definitely be back

We had a glorious four nights up in Ambleside. Cottage was brilliantly located and didnt need to move the car. Cottage was very clean, warm and had all the amenities you needed, including sharp knives. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again for when we return. Thank you.

Ronald

Lovely cosy bungalow in a great location. A 5 minute down hill walk to the village. The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything that you would need. We had taken my 97 year old mother with us who enjoyed her break. Due to the steep hill up to the bungalow we had to use the car to get her up and down to the village which was a bit of a pain. I would not recommnend this location to elderly or infirm due to the incline getting back up to cottage. For us it was great.

Patricia

The cottage was immaculately clean, and very well equipped. We really appreciated the comprehensive information about the bins and heating system, something we've struggled with in other cottages. The bed was very comfortable with the mattress topper on, and the towels were really good quality. The location was also very good, quiet but very close to the town centre. We noticed that BBC1 did not come up on the tv so we had to access it via iPlayer possibly the channel needs retuning?
