    Frequent questions

    • Is Ambleside worth a visit?

      Yes, Ambleside is definitely worth a visit for its scenic beauty and charming atmosphere. Located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, Ambleside offers stunning views of lakes and mountains, picturesque walks, cosy pubs, a range of outdoor activities and, of course, beautiful holiday homes and Ambleside cottages. The Lake District in general is a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting, but the charming town of Ambleside alone is worth a visit.

    • How long is the coffin walk in Ambleside?

      The Coffin Walk in Ambleside is a circular route that is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) long, ideal for keen hikers on a walking holiday. The walk takes you through picturesque landscapes, including forests, fields, and beautiful views of Lake Windermere. It's a moderate-level hike that provides a glimpse into the area's history and offers a peaceful and scenic experience. Once finished, you can make the most of your Ambleside holiday cottage by resting your feet, cooling off in the swimming pool or relaxing in the hot tub. Our Ambleside cottages are ideal for walkers, as well as anyone looking for a suitable property in which to stay while the more active people in your group explore!

    • Is Ambleside or Windermere better for self catering accommodation?

      Both the lakeland town of Ambleside and Windermere have their own unique charms, so determining which is better for self catering accommodation depends on personal preferences. Ambleside cottages are often in demand due to there being fewer on offer and with limited availability this could make it harder for you to find one on your dates. The centre of Ambleside offers a more relaxed and quaint atmosphere, with its charming village, scenic walks, and proximity to beautiful lakes like Lake Windermere itself. Windermere, on the other hand, is larger and more bustling, with a wider range of amenities, available properties and attractions close by. Another big draw of a lakeland cottage in Windermere is the water-based activities available on Lake Windermere, and convenient transportation links to Bowness on Windermere, Troutbeck Bridge and the rest of the Lake District. Both are popular towns boasting all manner of accommodation, including holiday park resorts and more.

    • Is there a market in Ambleside?

      Yes, the charming town of Ambleside hosts a weekly market known as the Ambleside Market. The market takes place on a Wednesday and offers a variety of stalls selling local produce, crafts, clothing, and other goods. It's a great opportunity to explore and discover local products while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the market. If you're hunting for independent shops Ambleside also has those in spades, so don't worry if you forget anything before arriving at one of our Ambleside cottages. You'll find all the amenities you'll need right here!

    • What should you look for in Ambleside cottages?

      Ambleside cottages can be difficult to choose between, because there is such a large variety of Ambleside accommodation. If you're after tradition, look for a detached stone built cottage in a tranquil location, with easy access to the Lake District national park. The best Ambleside holiday cottages on our books include Rose Cottage, a fantastic cottage resting on the edge of the lake, a stylish mid terrace property with off road parking, a two bedroom holiday home with wi fi, dishwasher and baby friendly facilities, a short walk from the town of Ambleside.
