If you are looking for a self-catering cottage and group accommodation in Ambleside, our two characterful holiday cottages offer you a central location and an elevated town centre position with stunning Fell views and free parking. The cottages are connected via a lockable internal door, meaning you can easily sleep 20, perfect if you want additional privacy or a ‘granny flat’.

Town centre location

Ambleside is one the Lake District’s most popular and vibrant towns, sitting at the head of Lake Windermere. Tucked away on a quiet road with private parking (gold dust in Ambleside!), our self-catering holiday cottages are within a five minute walk of all the fabulous amenities that the town has to offer – shops, restaurants, parks, even a cinema. One is ideal for large groups, the other is the perfect getaway for friends or a small family.

Leave your car on the driveway as you enjoy doorstep access to both tourist attractions and outdoor activities – beautiful walks, cycle trails and waters. Entry is from the private driveway adjacent to your very own waterfall.

A seven minute stroll brings you to Water Head, the head of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. From here you can hop on a leisure ferry, hire a boat or venture out on a kayak.

To thank our guests for providing a review and in acknowledgement of the amazing work of the volunteers at our local mountain rescue we are delighted to give £1 donation for every review received.

We’re super proud of our guest feedback

Booked along with Iveing View as a large family gathering. We all had a wonderful weekend and couldn’t fault either property. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious, in a fantastic location close to all the shops, cafes pubs etc. It was perfect for our group and would definitely stay again. We highly recommend this property. Thank you !Lyndsey, 10 December 2025Iveing House *****

This was a fabulous place to stay. The location couldn’t have been better. The house has everything you need. Bedrooms for all and a very spacious ground floor with large kitchen, massive dining room and comfortable lounge. Couldn’t recommend it any higher. Would definitely go back.John, 17 November 2025Iveing View *****

This cottage is in a great location and very quiet we never used the car all week. Has everything you need and very comfortable beds. Not for everyone as there is steps to get to front door and inside. Great little spot. And very helpful owners if you need anything at all. Had a great stay here .Susan, 1 January 2026Iveing View *****

In a quiet location but close to the amenities of Ambleside. Parking always a plus. Great views from the cottage. Will certainly recommend. Cottage was pleasantly warm and a great base to relax in. Everything you would require in the kitchen.Kevin, 2 November 2025Iveing View *****
