Book Old Stones Cottage in Ambleside, Lake District

Old Stones Cottage is a three-bedroom holiday home with two bathrooms, a seating area, and a fully equipped kitchen. The property offers a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a microwave for self-catering stays. A private paid parking space on site is available for one vehicle.

The cottage sits 3 minutes' walk from Ambleside's main street, with direct access to shops and restaurants. Lake Windermere is 16 km away, and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction is 9 km from the property. Boating is available in the surrounding area, and Leeds Bradford International Airport is 123 km away.

Returning guests report comfortable beds and spacious rooms across both levels. Bathrooms are described as high quality, and the kitchen offers sufficient cooking utensils for meal preparation. The location allows guests to park once and explore local walks from the doorstep without moving the car all week.

A residential parking permit is provided for the immediate road, though on-street availability may vary. A public car park is a 5-minute walk from the cottage for free parking with the provided pass. Key collection requires a visit to a separate office, which guests without a vehicle should plan for.

The cottage has non-smoking throughout and a small garden area. The gas log burner may not operate reliably, and the back yard requires maintenance. Shower pressure in the upstairs bathroom is low, and the main bedroom lacks block-out curtains for summer mornings.
