We’ve stayed in Ambleside on several occasions, and Cornerstones is now our firm favourite. We’ve already booked another stay for next year, which says it all! Its central location, cleanliness and cosy atmosphere make it the perfect place to stay. We’re already looking forward to returning!

Lovely cottage, well located and quiet even though close to the town centre.. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and comfortable. We would go back again and would recommend it
