    Everything was perfect.

    The property was stunning and the interior design was so well thought out and clearly no expense was spared. We loved the spaciousness of the cottage. It was absolutely immaculate and worth every penny.

    There was nothing to dislike. The whole stay was perfect. We shall be booking again.

    The skylights gave the cottage a bright warm appearance. The cottage was fully equipped and had modern furnishings. The cottage is well soundproofed even during the day the was no traffic noise.

    Lovely quiet spot to relax . I felt very safe as a solo traveller..Great facilities & super comfy little cottage. Great outside area which was well lit. Struggled with luggage & a dog ,as had to park in car park away from cottage....but its managable with 2 trips. I will be booking again.....LOVED IT @

    Nothing really - parking was limited but that's not the fault of the property and you get a parking permit which is extremely helpful.

    Extremely clean and well presented throughout. Kitchen well equipped with all you could possibly need. I'd argue the photos on booking.com don't do it justice as it was more spacious than I was expecting. Excellent location for Ambleside shops and restaurants as well as popular walking routes.

    Parking isn’t great in Ambleside in general but you are provided with a permit which can be used in various car parks not only in Ambleside but can also be used in nearby places.

    Lovely cosy cottage, clean and decorated to a very high standard. Perfect location in a quiet street but very central to shops, restaurants etc.

    only thing I would ask is that there could of been a lower pillow available rather than 2 very plump pillows, they were both too high to what I am used too.

    beautiful little cottage,had everything we needed,great location and facilities. I was a little apprehensive as I am allergic to dogs and only realised they allowed dogs by prior arrangement after we booked,all credit to the cleaner,wonderful job and I was perfectly fine 🙂

    No washing machine and although a free parking permit was included and the long stay car park only five minutes walk away, a park was not guaranteed and the car park was often full.

    The furniture and appliances were lovely. Roomy and the bedroom had plenty of storage space. Thick, large bath towels. Great position for walking to all local attractions but also very quiet.

    We visit Ambleside regularly and our stay at Grayling Cottage was fabulous. A wonderful quiet location yet so close to the town centre. The cottage was spotless and well equipped and the decor was of a very high standard . We are looking forward to our next stay at Grayling Cottage!

    Parking is limited in Ambleside anyways, however parking was a slight negative especially when trying to unload and load the car up. Unable to park outside property but a parking permit is provided and the long stay car park was approx 500m away, Once the car was parked up we didn't need it again for the 3 days were staying.

    It was cleaning, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The property was perfectly located.

    The only downside was parking, we parked locally but had to carry our belongings to the cottage, but I think a few places don’t have parking. But had a permit so didn’t have to pay.

    Brilliant location. Comfortable living area and lovely decor.

    Was a bit tricky to find initially, as one way system and say nav system were a bit confusing. Once we had located it and worked out the parking situation, was all good for rest of stay. Recommend bringing cases with wheels as the car park is about 500metres from cottage.

    Lovely cottage. Had everything we needed. Great location, lots of walks and sights nearby to visit.
