We enjoyed our stay in the converted church. Everything was as expected. The accomdation was very clean. Check in and out was very smooth. The ensuite shower could have more pressure but it wasnt a problem.

Great location being so cloae to town and also having a parking space. Lots of walks from the door. Lovely huge social kitchen and table, comfy beds, and good showers. Appliances all well maintained. Needs a little refresh of some of the homewares PotsPans, no Eggflip spatula!!, airer and a good sort through the mounds of tourist leafleta most of which were many years out of date. No working extraction in bathrroms but nice sound effects. Pickiness aside, a nice cottage we would stay at again.

We have been coming to Ambleside with the children for 8 years, the parking spots at St Anne's church are worth their weight in gold! Candleberry was a very cosy and comfortable cottage, plenty of room and comfy beds. We would not hesitate to return!

Very good position in Ambleside away from the busy main streets. The accomodation was up to expectations and served our group very well. One niggle was there was only two loo rolls for 7 people for a week. Also would be nice to have some basic essentials ie salt and pepper!
