Great place to stay - very comfortable and perfect location - easy stroll into town and easy to start many circular walks from. Very comfy beds! The house is welcoming and well thought out with everything you need.

A lovely house. Spacious and very well equipped. Perfectly positioned for a short walk into Ambleside or up onto the surrounding hills. The garage was a complete bonus for mountain bikes tooo.

This is the fourth time we have stayed at Ghyll End Cottage. Each time the stay has been wonderful. The property is well equipped and beautifully kept. The owners have had decking fitted with a nice outdoor dining suite since our last stay, which was really nice to sit on after a busy days walking. Wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Thanks again.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Ghyll End. The house was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Just a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside but in a very quiet and peaceful location. The property has a lovely garden and decking area which is lovely to sit outside on a sunny day. Great views from the many windows in the house. The Hawkshead Relish welcome gift and milk in the fridge on arrival was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. We will definitely be staying at Ghyll End again and are already looking forward to our next visit. We were delighted to see a deer in the front garden on our final morning. A great place to stay.

We loved the house, well equipped, clean and brilliant location, right next to the entrance of the Stock Ghyll waterfall walk in Ambleside, only 10 mins walk to town centre. Hope to return sometime.

Good location away from central Ambleside but only 5 to 10 min walk to main pubs etc. Force cafe up the road is a hidden (ish) gem. A bit confusing regarding instructions for parking spaces. Got it sorted tho.

Fantastic home. So quiet even within the house. Super comfortable and great open plan living space. The fact it was carpeted and we had a toddler was brilliant. The house was spotless too with a well equipped kitchen. It was about 5 mins walk into Ambleside which was lovely and there was a lovely view out of all of the many windows. Cant wait to return

Loved the house, loved the location which is ideally placed for Ambleside centre. The nearby waterfall brings a unique aspect to the place. We would very highly recommend it to any family wanting to explore the Lake District and enjoy the amenities offered by Ambleside.

We had fabulous stay at Ghyll End last week for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. The property was immaculate and had everything you could wish for, even down to the pint of milk in the fridge and Hawkshead Relish goodies - yum! Even the garden had the sun on it practically all day. Nice for those sundowners. It was a 5 min walk to Ambleside centre and in a super quiet location. We only used the car a couple of times during the week as there were so many walks, hikes and mountain biking trails nearby. Wansfell Pike is literally just up the hill if you're feeling fit. In summary couldn't fault the property at all!

As a family of five and a small dog, the cottage and location was fab, the Cottage was spotless, well equipped and had a lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a brilliant stay - the location is perfect, very quiet and peaceful close by to the waterfall, but just a 5 minute walk into Ambleside. We stayed with our 1 year old daughter and dog - and thought the house was really well set up for for both!

We just had a fabulous week stay here and it was everything we could have hoped for.
Very well equipped, clean and a lovely welcome basket including milk, butter, jam and bread.
The only thing that would stop us staying again is the walk up to the cottage from the village - it is only a short 5 minute walk but it's very steep and a little too much for my parents in their late 70s. If it was just us younger ones then we'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
Perfect location to visit the waterfalls, literally cross the road and you are in the woods to the waterfalls.

This house is in a perfect location and would be great if looked after properly, but sadly it was not clean when we arrived. The couches were covered in dog hair and I had to clean it before we unpacked. It smelled of wet dog and the upstairs window frames were covered in black mould which indicates to me that there is a damp problem. The bathrooms were not thoroughly cleaned. I am assured by the company that this is a one off but as I was persuaded to book by the many reviews saying how pristine it was, I felt it was necessary to say this here. We were surprised by how cheap it was for a cottage in this location and sadly it turned out to be too good to be true.

We really enjoyed staying here. The property is a short 5 min walk downhill to Ambleside (means a 10 min but not too arduous walk back up) and is perfectly situated for the Stock Ghyll Force which is a lovely place to walk. The house was well appointed, clean and suited our family of 5 really well. Would highly recommend. Ambleside is well situated for Lake Windermere. The village has lots of lovely pubs, bakery, shops and restaurants. A perfect base in the Lake District.

Booked at short notice, good communication with the host. This was a nice little house in a great location, only 5 minute walk to the water fall and 10 minute walk to Ambleside centre. We stayed for 4 nights and didnt use our car once! The house was clean and has all the mod cons required, Sky TV and fast WiFi.

What a beautiful cottage! It has all the amenities required for a short stay and in immaculate condition. The location is only a five min walk into Ambleside where there is lots to see and do. We have two young children (ages 3 and 6), who had an amazing time, as did we. Just a point to note, the garden to the back is quite steep and has no boundary.

Lovely cottage in a great location. So easy to pop down into Ambleside or up and out onto the fells. The main bedroom has three windows and lots of light - fabulous!!!!

Lovely, spacious cottage just a 5 mins walk from the center of Ambleside. Right next to the falls which you can hear as soon as you open the door. Its an uphill walk back from Ambleside to the cottage. The place was immaculately clean and was perfect for the four of us and our dog. The garden isnt enclosed and opens onto other gardens, which wasnt a problem for us but just something to bear in mind if you have a dog. The welcome pack was a lovely touch too. Hopefully, we will return one day!

Just back from a very nice stay at Ghyll End. We did a walk everyday from the doorstep, the car never moved. We had our cockapoo with us and that went well. I would say I wouldnt let her out in the garden as it is shared but great on the lead, also nice waterfall wood around the corner. The welcome basket was a very nice touch. We ate at Sheilas Cottage which was gorgeous as normal. Great check in and communication!!

Lovely accommodation, immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay with some thoughtful extras for doggie guests and lots of games for the children. Brilliant location for walking to the waterfalls or into Ambleside. We enjoyed hearing the waterfalls every day! Please note there is no mattress in the travel cot so you need to bring something with you.

Fab week in the lakes! We go every year but it was the first time at Ghyll End and with Lakeland Retreats and already booked the same for next year. Great house, everything you need and lovely furnishing. The welcome basket and dog box are a nice touch. Great location right near the waterfalls for dogs walks and a just a few minutes to Ambleside. Looking forward to returning next year already!

One of the best self-catering properties weve experienced. Really well equipped (the espresso machine was a treat!), generous sized rooms, comfortable bed and a great location. Beautiful walks from the door past waterfalls and into the hills. Just a short stroll into town with a huge choice of eateries.

Amazing house and fantastic location in centre of Ambleside yet quietly tucked away - also has parking which is essential. 5 minute walk into town for shops bars and restaurants whilst also being close to local walking and swimming hot spots - will definitely stay again, thank you

A really nice home away from home. It had everything we need, was spacious and comfortable. A short walk (less than five minutes) to the waterfalls nature walk, and a short walk to the restaurants and cafes of Ambleside (less than 10 minutes). It was so nice we didn't want to go home!

We had a lovely stay at this house. On arrival the house was perfectly clean, beds were made up and everything we could possibly require was provided. Beds were confortable. Great Internet connection. Town is 5 minutes walk down the hill and interesting walks can be accessed without taking the car. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Well located, next to the waterfall..you could hear the waterfall from the apartment. The apartment is well maintained, and immaculate. Highly recommended.
