“Property very dusty.”

Worrying during current situation made us wonder about general cleanliness. Good inch of dust on pictures window ledges and light shades over kitchen work surfaces.

“The cottage was in an ideal location with lots to do within easy walking distance.”

A big bonus was onsite parking. The cottage is small but was fine for the two of us. One or two areas were a little dusty but overall the place was clean and tidy on arrival. There was everything we needed in the cottage for our stay. Definite choice for another visit to Ambleside.

Mrs Brown June 2021

“Cottage was well situated and well equipped but it was very dirty.”

Dirty dishes in cupboard with food on, dirty soiled toilet, cobwebs and food left in cupboards. Have taken pictures as had to spend over an hour cleaning before we unpacked! Would use Sykes again but would not stay here

Mrs Thurman May 2021

“Juniper Cottage is in a very convenient location and the parking space was a bonus.”

The local bus services are excellent and there are lovely walks from the doorstep. When the weather was wet, we could stay and be very comfortable in the cottage. We would happily stay there again.

“Brilliant place but one big negative.”

Needs a king size bed and super king size bedding. It’s a big bedroom and chest of drawers could be moved

Miss Brack August 2020

“This is a lovely, well appointed cottage in a great location, close to the town centre but avoiding the one way system allowing easy access.”

The house is too hot! The heating system had labels on throughout the house asking not to be turned off. At this time of year when some days temperatures were in the high twenties this was just madness and meant that we had to have the windows open 24/7. This can’t be environmentally friendly or economical. There is a strange smell permeating from the under stairs cupboard. We masked it with spray but it might need looking at and identifying We would stay here again

Miss Dyke August 2020

“A very comfortable, clean cottage, in a perfect location, close to Ambleside and easy access to all the main places.”

- Miss Dyke, August 2020
Mr Mclean July 2020

“Very well equipped cottage close to the town centre and bus station.”

Lounge furniture perhaps a little dated, but overall a lovely base for exploring the surrounding area.On site parking a huge bonus.Would have no hesitation in recommending Juniper Cottage.

- Mr Mclean, July 2020
Mrs James January 2020

“This was our third visit to Juniper Cottage, we love this cosy cottage.”

There is everything you need for a weeks stay. The cottage is ideally located within a short walk to the shops. It also has its own parking space.

- Mrs James, January 2020
Mrs Pyke November 2019

“We had a great week staying at Juniper Cottage in Ambleside, the cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped.”

The cottage was very well situated, a two min walk to the town centre. Couldn't have wished for better. Will be returning.

- Mrs Pyke, November 2019
Mr Birks November 2019

“The cottage is in a great location, had good facilities and on the face of it is an excellent place to stay, but on arrival the bathroom was unclean - apparent urine behind the toilet seat, down the back of the toilet, in the bowl, and a drip on the floor.”

The sink was also grimy as was the bath. It clearly hasn’t had a proper clean for a long time as it’s very dusty above the bathroom mirror and also around the skirting boards. The kitchen bin also hadn’t been emptied from the previous occupants. The cleanliness needs to be addressed as you don’t want to travel hundreds of miles to do what the cleaner should be doing. I emailed Sykes twice and had no response. Unfortunately for these reasons I wouldn’t stay again.

- Mr Birks, November 2019
Mr Williams August 2019

“We had a very enjoyable stay.”

The cottage is very handy for all cafes shops and pubs.We have stayed at Junipers sister cottage Heather cottage before but found this one more suitable for a couple, especially when we got the booking through a cancelation, being much cheaper.

- Mr Williams, August 2019
Mrs Burton May 2019

“Really well equipped cottage,great base for a walking holiday.”

The only slight downside is that there is no garden ,and if like us you have a dog,there is at least a 5 minute walk to the local park for them to go to the toilet,not great last thing at night,or first thing in the morning.

- Mrs Burton, May 2019
Mr Platt March 2019

“Very comfortable cottage and an ideal location for touring the Lake District.”

Lovely well equipped cottage,2 minutes from the centre of Ambleside, only downside, no outdoor space for dogs,but lovely park within 5 minute walk, would visit again

“Everything was superb could not find fault Juniper Cottage in Ambleside take a bow .”

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Very clean with really good facilities.

- Mr Stevens, October 2018
Mr Godman October 2018

“I loved the fact that as well as being lovely and clean, it was fantastically equipped.”

There were even baking tins and scales - I could have baked a cake if I'd had time. We had our own parking, it was within walking distance of the town, and was quiet and peaceful. The furnishings were comfortable and clean and the bedroom was lovely. It was great to come 'home' to at the end of a day on the fells. The lobby had shelves for our boots & rucksacks and there was a radiator too, so that our things dried, without cluttering the rest of the house up.

- Mr Godman, October 2018
Mr Cairns October 2018

“The cottage was as it was described, very comfortable , clean and ideally situated for us.”

Close to all local amenities and on site parking was an advantage. Only slight disappointment was in regards supplies. We had one toilet roll for two people for a week. We had a third of a kitchen roll and a small amount of washing up liquid. We didn’t have any soap powder. With other cottages there has always been an adequate supply of such items, not sure if that’s what we should expect. That said it didn’t spoil our holiday and have already booked another holiday for 2019 with Sykes Cottages.

- Mr Cairns, October 2018
Mr Reynolds September 2018

“Beautiful setting ,just outside Ambleside ,a two minute easy walk into the town centre and a ten minute walk to the banks of Windermere.”

The house has private parking in the courtyard with plenty of room to load unload. The House is plenty big enough for a couple and two dogs ,perfect . Everything you require is included ,the bedroom is fantastic ,a massive Television ,lovely welcoming double bed and very warm and cosy. We had a fantastic break.

- Mr Reynolds, September 2018
Mrs Cliff August 2018

“The cottage is a lovely place to stay to use as a base for traveling around the lakes it was in a nice area of town, very quiet but with within very easy reach of all the shops, bars and cafes.”

Would recommend this place to family and friends.

- Mrs Cliff, August 2018
Miss Hogarth April 2018

“Cottage was lovely,clean and warm and we would definitely stay there again.”

My only slight issue was the note that was left to strip the bed linen on departure. I think it is reasonable to ask visitors to leave the cottage clean and tidy but it is unreasonable to expect them to have to do everything as you would expect the property to be re-cleaned thoroughly before the next guests arrive. There are hotels that charge less money and you would not be expected to do that for them.

“Sitting room was chilly in evening”

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.
