Juniper Cottage Reviews

Really nice cottage for two people. Liked the storage in the entry hall, kitchen was well equipped and had staples like salt and pepper which always helps. Plenty of space in the bedroom for luggage and clothing. We do not usually revisit places, but if it is available next time we are looking I would definitely stay here again.

Andrew

The property was clean and tidy and well located in the town. We would recommend that you advise future occupants follow the notes where the property is and NOT use their satnav solely. We hope this will help in the future. Kind Regards Andrew and Jan

The cottage was very clean and comfortable and set in an ideal position in Ambleside with offroad parking. We would definitely book again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. All in all a great stay in a lovely cottage.

It was lovely & comfortable. It was equipped with everything we needed. The location is fantastic for the centre bus . We are looking to book next year.

A delightful cottage. although it looks small from the outside, it's more like the TARDIS inside very spacious. Has everything you need for a long stay or short break holiday. Ideally located 5 mins from the town centre with the added bonus of off street parking. Would happily recommend Juniper cottage to anyone.

The property is in a great location and we had a fantastic time away. It is a comfortable place with enough appliances, and we would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The only bug bear is the storage heaters which is stated. Private parking outside is always a bonus.

Lovely little cottage which is well equipped and in a perfect location. Parking outside is a bonus.

Amanda

Lovely cosy cottage within short walk of town centre. Added bonus of private parking. Everything you need provided. Would recommend to anyone looking for a central hub to travel around the lakes.

The cottage was Absolutely Superb in every detail. You had thought of everything that we could need. The bedroom was fantastic. The little safety light on the landing was brilliant. Everything about the place was superb. Thank you very much for a great stay in Ambleside

Patricia

Our stay in Juniper Cottage was everything we hoped it would be. The booking itself was very easy and I liked the way we had updates before our holiday, it was all very straightforward. The cottage was very comfortable and lovely to come back to after a day out. It was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, the bed was very comfortable and the parking outside was a bonus. we would definitely book again and recommend it to others.

Pauline

It was a beautiful cottage in a great location

Great cottage and location would be happy to return. I am not convinced that it is reasonable to ask guests to strip the bed on departure whereas it is reasonable to ask that the accommodation is left clean and tidy.

Anthony

Comfortable cottage in excellent position in Ambleside. Handy for all amenities. Everything worked and car park very handy

Michael

All i,m going to say that its was a beautiful cottage well maintained very very clean and comfortable, We unfortunately did not stay the full days we were booked for but that has nothing to do with the cottage or its facilities. Rain Rain and more Rain.Will definitely book with you guys again. Thank you so much.

Richard

Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location, close to town and with lots of good walks near by

Although the cottage is in a great location for getting around the Lake District it is very dated and not particularly clean! !! I removed the sheets when I was leaving to find a huge urine stain on the mattress cover which actually smelt and the owner would not accept any responsibility for this!!!! I was disgusted to think I had spent a week in this bed!!!!

Esther

Perfect location in Ambleside, close to shops and restaurants and central for visiting the whole of the Lakes. This is our second stay at Juniper Cottage, we will be back again next year!

Alastair

The cottage is an ideal base for holidaying in the Lakes. A lovely warm cottage well presented and very clean. Competitively priced and definitely would stay at Juniper Cottage again.

Lorraine

Great location. Very well equipped cottage in every sense from the kitchen to all the labels on things plugs heaters etc .

Rachel

Absolutely loved Juniper and the photos don't do it justice. Very clean, tidy a d well equipped. Great location and would definitely book again.

Robert

This was my third time at the cottage so I knew what to expect. The cottage was clean and comfortable and provided everything I required. The only thing I will mention is that the WiFi signal is very weak but I assume thats due to the location of the cottage.

Everything was perfect, everything you could need is there, will book again

On arriving at Juniper Cottage we were very pleased parking and location was great. On opening the door the porch was dirty cobwebs on the floor, kitchen was clean, the living area was dusty, upstairs the bathroom hadnt been cleaned dark hairs in the bath, and a dirty floor. The bedroom was okay but on stripping the bed the mattress cover was stained. I can only conclude that the owner relys on the previous weeks tenants to clean the property as we left it in a better state than we found it.

Esther

We had a fabulous 5 nights at Juniper Cottage. The location was perfect for walking into the village for meals. Facilities were excellent and the cottage is also centrally located for the whole Lakes. We will go again.

An excellent place to stay, amazing facilities and close to all the main attractions. A great base to explore the lake district.

Robert

This was my second visit to this property. I am an amateur photographer and the property is in an ideal location for where I want to take photographs. The onsight parking and closeness to the centre of Ambleside is also a bonus. My only criticism of the property is that it is quite dark inside.

Lovely little cottage in a courtyard with parking close to centre of Ambleside but very quiet. Everything you need and so dog friendly, even down to spare dog bowls. Will definitely book again.

The property was well situated close to all amenities. Although small the house was equipped with everything you would need. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends. Ilsa our dog loved all the great walks.

Albert

We really enjoyed our time at juniper cottage ,accommodation had all you could wish for,clean ,cozy,and comfortable ,also very close to the centre of ambleside only a 5 minute walk ,my only small concern was regarding our little dog . As the cottage more or less was open to a main road and no garden it made it a bit awkward as the nearest place to exercise her was rothay park a 15 minute walk down a steep hill ,otherwise can't fault at all.

This cottage was very comfortable and very functional. The kitchen contained a lot of equipment and was set out in a very convenient way. The cottage was warm and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was in a particularly convenient location for Ambleside and the car parking space saved a lot of searching and expense.

Great location & Good to have parking at cottage, The spaces are a little bit tight for a large car.

Elizabeth

Really nice place. V central and such a plus having a car park space. Think lock to door might need some attention as we struggled to open it sometimes.

The cottage is well equipped and cosy. The location is reqlly really good and having a parking space is extremely convenient. It feels spacious and cosy.

Carmel

Property very dusty. Worrying during current situation made us wonder about general cleanliness. Good inch of dust on pictures window ledges and light shades over kitchen work surfaces.

The cottage was in an ideal location with lots to do within easy walking distance. A big bonus was onsite parking. The cottage is small but was fine for the two of us. One or two areas were a little dusty but overall the place was clean and tidy on arrival. There was everything we needed in the cottage for our stay. Definite choice for another visit to Ambleside.

Kathryn

Cottage was well situated and well equipped but it was very dirty. Dirty dishes in cupboard with food on, dirty soiled toilet, cobwebs and food left in cupboards. Have taken pictures as had to spend over an hour cleaning before we unpacked! Would use Sykes again but would not stay here

Juniper Cottage is in a very convenient location and the parking space was a bonus. The local bus services are excellent and there are lovely walks from the doorstep. When the weather was wet, we could stay and be very comfortable in the cottage. We would happily stay there again.

Valerie

Brilliant place but one big negative. Needs a king size bed and super king size bedding. Its a big bedroom and chest of drawers could be moved

Adeline

This is a lovely, well appointed cottage in a great location, close to the town centre but avoiding the one way system allowing easy access. The house is too hot! The heating system had labels on throughout the house asking not to be turned off. At this time of year when some days temperatures were in the high twenties this was just madness and meant that we had to have the windows open 247. This cant be environmentally friendly or economical. There is a strange smell permeating from the under stairs cupboard. We masked it with spray but it might need looking at and identifying We would stay here again

A very comfortable, clean cottage, in a perfect location, close to Ambleside and easy access to all the main places.
