Ambleside
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2 reviews)
"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing Iā€™d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."
