Guests say
Cringol Cottage in Ambleside is highly praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the recent refurbishments and the provision of essentials for a pleasant stay. The cottage's proximity to town and walking routes is a highlight, and the private parking is a valued convenience. While minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Cleanliness
Guests consistently mention the high level of cleanliness throughout the cottage, with only a couple of minor niggles regarding a shower curtain and dish drainer. The property is frequently described as clean and well-maintained.
Location
The location is repeatedly commended for being central, peaceful, and convenient for both the town of Ambleside and local walks. The ability to park the car upon arrival and not use it again until departure is particularly appreciated.
Comfort
Comfort is a strong point for Cringol Cottage, with guests finding it cosy and welcoming. The recent refurbishments have further enhanced the comfort level, making it a welcome place to stay after long walks.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped. However, there are mentions of minor issues such as a faulty toaster and smoke alarm, which slightly impact the score.
Thoughtfulness
The provision of chocolate and the overall attention to detail in the cottage suggest thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every guest, this is a delightful touch but not a consistent offering.
About this property
This popular stone-built cottage is a suitable holiday home for you to enjoy at any time of year. Find it situated within a tidy courtyard where you can conveniently park your car. Wander at your leisure into the centre of bustling Ambleside and browse the inviting café and restaurant menus or sip an evening drink. There are so many attractions for you to discover from your base. Just a little further on, a range of outdoor activities are available for you to try, whether it be energetic tennis, slower paced bowls or mini golf. If you prefer a walk near a river, stroll through lovely Rothay Park, where there is an excellent and imaginative children’s playground. Another short walk from lovely Cringol Cottage will take you to the lake at Borrans Park where scenic views await. If your early enough, you may even catch site of the otters! Walk a little further to Waterhead and take a leisurely cruise on beautiful Lake Windermere or hire your own boat to explore its quiet bays. If you fancy heading out for the day by foot, there are many walks for you to discover the stunning Lakeland scenery. All from your very own doorstep. Don’t worry about getting dry after a rainy day, a useful heated inner porch equipped with space for hanging and drying your outdoor wear is just inside. Your open plan living area is tastefully furnished and has a well-fitted kitchen with cosy dining area. Upstairs, find your tastefully-decorated two bedrooms. Your double bedroom has a large window and characterful beams. The bathroom is also beamed. The convection facility on the heating will ensure that your stay at Cringol Cottage is a lovely base for exploring the Lake District.
Ambleside, located at the northernmost point of England's largest lake, Lake Windermere, is a great starting point for exploring the rest of the middle Lakes, including neighbouring Grasmere and the Langdale Valley. Cruises, boat rides, and watersports on Lake Windermere are just some of the activities available, and the hamlet itself has lots of stores, restaurants, and bars to satisfy any taste. The parkland on the Waterhead lakefront provides stunning vistas of the water and a small beach, while a stroll in the opposite way along Stock Ghyll through the woods leads to the hypnotic Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Ambleside is known for more than just the lake and the excellent hiking it provides; the town is also renowned for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the quaint "Bridge House," a 17th-century structure that has become one of the most photographed structures in the Lake District and is now the home of the National Trust's information centre.
