The property is described as very clean overall, though a few guests mentioned cobwebs in high places and window recesses. These minor issues did not detract significantly from the overall impression of cleanliness.
The cottage is in a quiet spot just outside Ambleside, with a 5-10 minute walk into town. The hill may be steep for some, but most guests found the location convenient and peaceful, making it a great base for exploring the local area.
Guests found the cottage warm, spacious, and comfortable, especially the large master bedroom and lounge. The twin room is small but adequate for children or single adults. Overall, the property offers a homely and relaxing environment.

It is a superb base for local, woodland and fell walks, many of which can be reached without the need for a car.Tottlebank is a delightful, individually designed spacious 3 bedroom terraced property on three levels, situated in the prestigious Falls area which is a short walk from Ambleside centre - less than 500 meters, so no need to drive! It overlooks Stockghyll, an area of pretty woodland and tumbling waterfalls cascading from Red Screes above, to Ambleside and the lake below. In summer, with the windows open, the river provides a pleasant background noise to lull you to sleep. The Falls are set in one and a half acres of landscaped grounds on the former site of the old Bobbin Mill. The original buildings have been converted to luxury cottages and apartments with the addition of new accommodation built in the same slate and stone to blend sympathetically into the area. Ambleside a short walk away, still retains its unique atmosphere whilst offering a fantastic variety of shops, including an old style bookshop, numerous cafés, pubs and eateries and two cinemas for those less sunny days. There are also numerous activities as well as a wonderfully picturesque small park with beautiful views and children’s playground on the banks of the Rothay river. There is also easy access to the northern shore of Lake Windermere and the ruins of the Roman Fort at Waterhead. Tottlebank is decorated and furnished to a high standard with meticulous attention to detail, incorporating every modern convenience to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Great base to explore the local hills.A quiet location just out of town, even if it is a rather steep hill.The accommodation is a home from home with plenty of space and a lovely master suite. Undercover parking most appreciated.We had a brilliant few days and would stay again.

Could not fault the accommodation but parking was easier coming up the non recommended route which we had to find due to potential road closure
