Guests say
Cosy Nook offers a charming and spacious base just a short walk from Ambleside, making it ideal for walkers and those wishing to explore the Lake District. Guests consistently praise its excellent location, powerful showers, and well-equipped kitchen. While the cottage retains much of its character and is generally comfortable, some areas would benefit from additional maintenance and a refresh. Parking is tight but manageable for most cars. Overall, Cosy Nook provides good value and a cosy atmosphere, especially for those seeking a practical base for outdoor activities.
Cleanliness is mixed, with several guests noting cobwebs, a dirty lounge carpet, and some areas needing more attention. However, others found the property clean and comfortable. The overall impression is that while not spotless, the cottage is generally acceptable for most guests.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the easy walk into Ambleside and the proximity to local walks and attractions. The uphill walk back is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall convenience.
Guests appreciate the spacious layout, comfortable beds for some, and powerful showers. However, some found the mattresses uncomfortable and the main sofa lacking in comfort. The cottage is warm and cosy, but a few maintenance issues affect overall comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with well-equipped kitchens and modern bathrooms. Some guests noted missing kitchen items, a lack of a DVD player, and maintenance issues such as tired furnishings and loose bannisters. Parking is tight but usually manageable.

Location great, 5 mins walk to townParking fineCleanliness not fantastic. Bedroom on to floor good size with double and singleFirst floor bedroom a little small but fineProblem is beds. Mattresses are terrible and uncomfortable. The top floor double completely sagged in the middle so felt like you were sleeping in a trench Middle floor double is small bed and incredibly hard( we like a firm mattress) but was like rock , so again incredibly uncomfortable.

A good, well located cottage. Quite a climb up from the town centre. Facilities generally good, though the main sofa is rather uncomfortable. Stairs steep with an awkward turn - but manageable (I'm 86). Some bannister struts on top stairs are loose - one came away in my hand! So, not perfect, but quite satisfactory and good value.The advance information supplied about WiFi was wrong. Correct password etc are on the router (behind the TV)

The accommodation was clean and up to the standard we have come to expect from Cottages.com.However, there was an issue with parking. I drive a mid sized saloon, which just fit into the parking space. Anyone with an estate or SUV would overhang the space creating issues with access for the other properties and I feel this should be reflected in the properties information.
