Guests say
Cosy Nook is a well-located cottage in Ambleside, ideal for walking holidays with its proximity to local walks. Guests appreciate the upgraded bathrooms with powerful showers, the spaciousness, and the well-equipped kitchen. The property's charm is noted despite some areas appearing tired and basic.
The cottage's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, though some guests noted areas needing attention, such as a dirty lounge carpet and mould on the fridge, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being within a short walk to the town centre and amidst numerous walking trails, making it an excellent base for exploring the Lake District.
The cottage is described as warm, spacious, and comfortable, suitable for families and groups. However, some guests found the lounge in need of care, indicating comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities like the modern bathrooms and well-equipped kitchen are appreciated, but the mention of tight parking and the need for maintenance in some areas affects the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The location 5 minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside is a major plus. The cottage is over 3 floors so plenty of space. The bathroom has been upgraded and the shower is very good. Parking at the front is indeed very tight. The lounge would benefit from some tender loving care, but not to the extent that anything there is off-putting. For those who just require a base for a walking holiday this can work well. For those who require a modern, spotless environment this may not be the most suitable option.

Stayed at Cosy Nook while on a training course in the Lake District. Warm, spacious comfortable. Lots of equipment in the kitchen and the accomodation as a whole. Walkable into Ambleside too.
