About this property

Cottage In Ambleside, Lake District, Cumbria, England

Recently refurbished to a very high standard, Clare Cottage is a traditional Lakeland stone built terraced cottage situated centrally in the beautiful village of Ambleside. With accommodation over 3 floors, the cottage provides ample accommodation for 6, it is deceptively spacious. The traditional comforts such as a log burning stove are complimented by contemporary furnishings, new bathrooms and kitchen. There are magnificent views to the front and rear of the property from the upper levels and with all the amenities of Ambleside on your doorstep, including shops & restaurants as well as walks for all abilities, a car is not essential.
My aim is to provide you with a beautiful holiday home you will want to return to.

My family and I had a great stay at Clare Cottage. With an absolutely perfect location, we could walk to many restaurants within a few minutes. Parked the car for the week and used the buses which were frequent and inexpensive, would definitely come back.

Unhelpful management
Ambleside was hit with an unexpected heavy snowfall and roads were closed and hundreds of cars were stranded making it impossible for us to make our VRBO the first night. Management is unwilling to refund our first nights stay even thou we were told to turn around by mountain rescue

My review
This was a great spot to enjoy Ambleside. Moments walk from any place you’d like to go in town and the Town itself is central to awesome walks and hikes in any direction. Place was very clean upon arrival and owner was very responsive to any needs. We loved the place and really enjoyed the fireplace in the evening after hikes. Would love to come back.

Perfect location
Great location for everything Ambleside has to offer. As others have noted, getting parked on the street is pretty much impossible but didn’t cause a major issue for us. Cottage was very well heated & cosy. Didn’t really use the kitchen other than for breakfast so can’t comment on how well equipped it is but seemed to have everything you’d need.

Clare cottage was wonderful. The kitchen and both bathrooms seemed recently remodeled and are very nice, especially the one with a heated floor! The cottage was just two minutes from restaurants and coffee shops but on a quiet street.
