Guest Reviews

Here are some comments from our guest book:

March 2024 "Thankyou so much for every "much needed comfort" provided by Ash Tree Cottage. Much of our days here were spent in overalls working on our Son's recently aquired home here in Ambleside having lived and worked in the area for so many years! However, we were fortunate to spend evenings eating here together, totally relaxed in this cosy environment - managed to celebrate a wedding anniversary and mothers day too - Happy times! Thankyou."

February 2024 "Great cottage, home from home, thankyou. Did our usual walk to Grasmere and then a new one to High Sweden Bridge, great views. Only got wet once. We will be back, many thanks."

February 2024 "Had an amazing first visit to Ash Tree Cottage- it won't be our last! The cottage is so well equipped, welcoming and cosy. All the extra little touches were so appreciated - even down to a treat for our cocker spaniel. The cottage was spotless, beds comfy and we lacked for nothing- we don't want to go home!"

December 2023 "We were lucky to enjoy the major fall of snow - arriving before and departing afterwards. Another great stay at Ash Tree - thanks to Di and Bryan. We had excellent fish and chips from the Codfather. The Temperance has been beautifully refurbished - a complete contrast to the previous Churchills. Apple Pie Cafe was excellent, especially the toasted Bath buns."

November 2023 "Thank you once again. So many lovely visits and we will be back. Every time so clean, and thank you for the welcome pack. Never fails to feel so homely."

October 2023 "We enjoyed our third visit to Ash Tree Cottage. We love the location and accommodation. The cottage is very well equipped and spacious. We enjoyed playing Shout from the games cupboard. We were lucky enough to have good weather which was a real bonus. Thanks and sure we will be back."

October 2023 "Our third time here, so lovely. Nice and central, great to have parking. Did some great walks with Evie again. Weather not too bad - just one drizzly day. Had our usual Garside sausage for tea one day and a few pints in the Golden Rule. Cottage is super clean and cozy. Can't wait to come again."

October 2023 "Thank you once again for a wonderful and comfortable stay. As always, the cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped - felt like home. This time we had Barney the dog with us and he settled here so well. Had lots of lovely walks and enjoyed the local entertainment and hostelleries. The new Mexican takeaway was amazing, a great addition to Ambleside. Hopefully we will be back next year for a good, relaxing stay. PS - Thank you so much for the welcome pack and treats for Barney. So very much appreciated."

May 2023 "Another stay in this lovely cottage. A short one as we primarily came up for Scott to ride the Fred Whitton cycle event, as he did last year. Weather kind, especially good on cycle day event. Fitted in some great walks and National Trust places. One wet day, so Sue had her shopping expedition! Golden Rule pub, nice atmosphere and good beers (don't do food though). Freshers Cafe, Rothay Road in town was excellent, good food, sensible prices and friendly staff. All in all a great short stay. We're back here in September when my son Scott swims Windermere."

November 2022 "Despite the lashings of rain we had a lovely time! The cottage is so well located for the town and has everything you could want provided. As avid tea drinkers it was great to find a tea pot and milk jug so often missing in self-catering accommodation. We will definitely be back to explore what we didn't get to see this visit."

May 2022 "Lovely cottage-great not to have to drive for a pint of milk! Plenty of walks from the door. I recommend the coffin route to White Moss, then Loughrigg Terrace & back over the top of Loughrigg.. We too will return- soon there will be no room for first timers!" 

May 2022 "Great week, weather held! Rode the Fred Whitton Challenge and got sun burnt! Then recovered in the pubs of Ambleside, which was much needed after Hardknott Pass. Lovely cottage, we will return!"

May 2022 "Another lovely stay in this brilliant cottage. We all had a wonderful time. The cottage had everyting we needed and more. The welome pack once again was marvellous. Visted the local pubs for meals & drinks. The central location is superb and everything is close at hand, but still very quiet location. We have had a wonderful week and can't wait to come back. Thank you."

April 2022 "Our third, second and first visit to Ash Tree Cottage; another wonderful holiday. The cottage was as clean and well equipped as ever. It was busy in Ambleside over Easter but we didn't really notice when we were up here sitting outside in the sunshine. Once again we didn't use the car; we walked all directions on different days; Grasmere, Troutbeck and Scandale. We particularly enjoyed the local open top bus which took us to Windermere (with commentary) from there we walked to Bowness and took the ferry to Sawrey. We were lucky with the weather and saw the stunning view looking acoss Windermere Lake from the cafe at the Youth Hostel".

The weather is outstanding - we are very lucky. The patio at the end of a hard day climbing and walking is a joy, as are the gin and tonics! I have to mention the decorating and finish in the cottage-I have been in "the trade" and have never seen a finish which is achieved in the cottage."

Thank you Di for everything- first class as usual. We are returning later in the year."

April 2021 "First stay at Ash Tree Cottage (hopefuly not our last). We were blown away with the high standard of decor and equipment that are housed in the cottage. We were blessed with five dry and sunny days so had plenty of opportunity to use the patio late afternoon for a pre-dinner drink virtually every day. We used a few of the local walks books/pamphlets which made days go exceptionally well. What a fantastic week we have had coming out of lockdown in this beautiful cottage in fantastic surroundings. Many thanks Di."

We've had brilliant weather for the time of year, so spent most of our time walking and cycling including trips to Coniston, Wansfell Pike to Troutbeck and Grasmere. We haven't used the car since we arrived. We recommend The Old Smithy (fish &chip shop) The Unicorn (food & beer), The Apple Pie Bakery (bread & cakes) and of course Garsides Butchers across the road. We appreciate how clean and well equipped the cottage is and hopefully we will be back in 2021."

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home and we will hopefully return one day.

July 2018 "As the prior guests wrote- everything at its best. Never have found such a well equipped and spacious accommodation before,offering both participation in the village-life and retreat whether you choose to go hiking or just stay at the cottage. We loved the patio with its fantastic view over Loughrigg Fell. Hopefully we can arrange to come back one day." 

July 2018 "We've had a wonderful stay! The cottage is absolutely fantastic and I must say the best equipped with quality items, especially in the kitchen. Your generosity in leaving essentials e.g. cling film, foil & extra everything was lovely. The rooms were so pretty and the beds comfortable. A really pleasant lounge to relax in. This will be our Lakes "bolt hole". Thank you too for the wine & biscuits, a really lovely touch. Looking forward to staying again."

The location was superb being within a few minutes walk of the town centre, yet having a slightly elevated position with views over the hills to the South. The cottage was extremely clean and well presented with everything we needed. We immediately felt at home and relaxed with a cup of tea outside as soon as we arrived. Ambleside is an ideal base from which to explore the local area and we were very impressed with Ash Tree Cottage. We will return in the near future."
