    “The cottage smelled “doggy” on our arrival which was disappointing, thankfully I’d taken air fresheners.”

    We had to hoover due to dog hairs from the 2 seater sofa being all over our clothes on the first night & on the carpers (hoover didn’t pick up very well) The shower pressure is frustratingly low Storage heating was annoying as we couldn’t control it & felt chilly in the evenings when it went off. Overall we did enjoy our stay, we’ve stayed in this block of cottages previously and find it very convenient. Heather cottage is well equipped with many very thoughtful features, it’s just a ...

Heather cottage is well equipped with many very thoughtful features, it’s just a shame about the comments above.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the cleaning was not up to standard. Unfortunately, as we were not made aware of the problems we could not send out a team to rectify the problem for you. We are glad that you enjoyed the stay and all the area has to offer.

The cottage sleeps three in two bedrooms, a cosy retreat for anyone wishing to explore the southern or northern Lake District. Pets are very welcome. Ecclerigg Place is centrally located in the village of Ambleside and has had an interesting and varied past. Life at Ecclerigg Place started out as the bus station for Ambleside where in bygone days the horses pulled the buses. In more recent times the stables and bus shelters were converted into a printers and now the courtyard has been converted into 7 lakeland stone fronted cottages. The many amenities of Ambleside are only a short level walk away and from the doorstep a number of scenic rambles can be taken, your car does not need to leave its own private parking space.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
