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

Fabulous location, loads of room, gorgeous views from the bedrooms, friendly and helpful owners, will definitely use again for a big group.Steve, 16 May 2025Iveing House *****

This is the second time we have stayed at Iveing House for birthday celebrations. This time we combined an 80th, 21st and a 19th birthday. A car is not necessary as the house is about a 5 minute walk from the bus station. There were excellent communications with the owners, who always replied promptly to any queries.Harry, 25 April 2025Iveing View *****

Iveing View is a lovely comfortable, homely and welcoming place to stay. We enjoyed being there very much. It was nice to meet the owners and see how committed they are to the upkeep of the place. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use.Camilla, 16 May 2025Iveing House *****

This was a perfect location for our first visit to the Lake District. The proximity to facilities and local walks meant we did not use our car for the week! It was tucked out of the way and very quiet with amazing views from both lounge windows. We shall certainly be recommending this property to our friends!Michelle, 27 April 2025Iveing View *****
