This is the best property we have stayed in over the many years we have visited the Lake District. It is very comfortable , very well equipped, super clean and well maintained.The owners also provided some welcoming gifts just lovely.We look forward to returning soon.
We've been coming to the lakes for over 20yrs staying in some lovely locations, but Redwood bettered them all, location to the town is perfect, and a well maintained and stocked accommodation. Loved I so much we have already booked for next May. Home from home, and a nice welcoming pack.

A wonderfully clean, comfortable and cosy holiday cottage in a perfect location close to the centre of Ambleside but with views of the fells. Highlights included the welcome pack, the library the book on suggestions of wet weather walks saved us and watching the birds in the garden at close quarters.

Absolutely amazing! EVERYTHING had been thought of from dishwasher tablets, to games and teddies for kids, to bird feed to umbrellas to aid the walk into Ambleside in the rain. The beds were comfy and the welcome treats were very much appreciated. We couldn't have wished for more. Thank you!
Sunita
A lovely well equipped property. Had everything you could need. Very clean. Like home from home The welcome gifts were very much appreciated! Peter and Avril were kind and responsive hosts Warm and cosy on winter days. Beautiful views . Well located, just 10 minutes into the centre of Ambleside but in a peaceful cul de sac with easy parking. Lots of walks from the front door. It was perfect really. Would happily stay here again. Highly recommended.
Carolyn
A real home from home, everything you need for a lovely holiday.
Loved this place. We made a lot of requests for various reasons, and Pete and Avril were wonderfully accommodating. The view from the hill is stunning and just gets you excited for exploring each day. Facilities are fabulous lots of room and so well equipped.
Katherine
Redwood is in a great location a couple of minutes drive from Ambleside centre or 1015 walk. The location is very quiet and peaceful. We saw lots of different species of birds on the feeders in the back garden, which was hugely enjoyable. The house was spotlessly clean with everything you could need provided by the hosts for an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed walks at Elterwater, Grasmere and Windemere whilst staying here. We would be delighted to stay at Redwood again in the future.
Rosalyn
Fantastic property and owners where very helpful. The welcome package was much appreciated after the journey. There's lots of space to relax and get things dry when the weather turns. Highly recommend this property. It's so nice to have parking and be so close to the centre of Ambleside. Will miss the views of Loughrigg.
Robert
Beautiful is the best way to describe it, that was our second time there and just booked again for next august 26 .
Excellent property. Super welcome pack and plenty of high quality toiletries. Very busy in the village but Redwood is in a peaceful and quiet area with plenty of wildlife close by. Would stay again.
Andrea
Great location, very quiet even though Ambleside is very busy this time of year. Owner had left us little gifts which was a lovely surprise. Cant fault it at all. Andrea
A great place to stay. Very comfortable and well equipped. 3rd stay
An excellent property comfortable and fully equipped in an ideal location for us near hill walking and quiet. It had everything we needed and wonderful views The communication with the owners was excellent with Sykes less so
Absolutely great facilities,cleanliness & comfort
We had such a lovely holiday, partly due to Redwood being so comfortable as previous reviews had stated. There are many walks from the house and it made such a nice change from having to take the car every day. Thank you Peter and Avril for the very much appreciated welcome pack. If we ever come back to stay in Ambleside we will certainly book Redwood again.
Patricia
What a lovely property! On arrival we were delighted to have a welcoming Easter card from the owners, Peter and Avril, an Easter chocolate bunny, biscuits,fudge and wine. Never had such a welcome! The property has everything you need and is well positioned for Ambleside. The pictures of the property on the website don't do it justice, especially of the pretty back garden which directly has views up the lower slopes of Wansfell. We were treated to visits from ducks, a sheep and lamb, all sorts of birds, and our favourite a pheasant which we called lec lec as he was dancing with another male pheasant to gain the attention of his missus who was busily eating in the next garden. We will miss him! Thank you for a lovely stay!
Michael
Utterly wonderful place in a similarly wonderful location. Zero issues with the property at all. If we head back to the Lake District this will definitely be our place of choice to base ourselves at.
Debbie
Fantastic accommodation in great location. House was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable winter break. The location was fantastic and we look forward to staying again.
We have had a wonderful stay at Redwood, it is, as many have previously said, absolutely brilliant and exceeded all our expectations. We have enjoyed watching the many, many birds which visit the feeders which we kept topped up! and also had regular visits from the badger and the pheasants. There are lots walks to begin from the door whether short wanders or long mountain rounds. The bus services are also very good from Ambleside with links to all the surrounding main areas if you want to go further afield. If you do the walk round to Troutbeck we can highly recommend the Old Post Office Tearoom open Thurs to Monday. Excellent cakes, tea in proper cups and a very nice atmosphere. Thank you Peter and Avril for the lovely welcome pack gifts and the little extras which made it a perfect stay, it's without doubt the best property we have stayed in.
Carolyn
Cant fault it, everything was just fine.
Hello again, this was our 4th stay at Redwood, and like the previous visits it was just like home. Warm, comfortable and private, and with all the easy access to Ambleside and Lakeland areas, both stunning and beautiful. It was very calm weather for most of the week, most welcome. Redwood is our recommendation, nothing negative at all. With thanks.
Tracey
This cottage is perfect for a stay in Ambleside. We loved the 10min walk into town but yet within 5 mins walk we were going up to the fells. The house was toasty warm, lots of booksgames etc, comfy beds couldnt fault anything. We would definitely come back. If I was being picky, my only feedback would be that bigger towels eg bath sheets, would be better as the towels were barely big enough to wrap round us! Overall a fantastic stay and would highly recommend. .
Patricia
The property was lovely. It had everything and more than I needed for my stay. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend Redwood and would come back to stay again.
