A lovely cottage, perfect for two. The location was excellent, only a short walk into the centre of Ambleside.Very comfortable with all necessary equipment.Compared to other cottages we have stayed in I must say that the TV facilities were the best we have encountered. Large TV with free view plus access to many streaming services. This is more important when using the cottage in the winter.
