Low White Stones is a fabulous little cottage! Perfectly equipped! This is our second stay and will definitely be back. The best fireplace of any cottage we’ve stayed in (and there has been a few). Lovely comfy bed and all in all an amazing place to stay, quiet but still close to all amenities

Me and my Girlfriend had a wonderful week in the cottage. The cottage was really Cosy and beautifully presented, heating was excellent, was spotlessly clean.It is the perfect place for a couple/individual travellers looking to get a break away in the lake district. Fabulous location in the centre of Ambleside, around 200-300 yards from the centre shops,bars and cafes. Host very helpful and quick to respond. Parking can be a little challenging due to the tight roads in and around the property, however the parking permits supplied in the property for all hours in the towns car parks just a short 2 minute walk from the property, ensured a suitable alternative. Will definitely be looking to return for our next trip to the lakes.
