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!
Philippa

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!

A warm and comfortable cottage in a great location. A charming and interesting building with very good facilities and very well equipped for large groups. Tastefully Dec and appointed. Good beds, towels and bedding.
The property was fab. Downstairs toilet would be handy but not possible I think. Apart from that it was really good, uphill but then again everything in the lakes is either up or down hill. Ideal location for shopspubs etc
Lovely house in a lovely setting and location. Comfortable beds, good bathrooms, big kitchendiner, very well set up.
We loved the house and found it very well equipped and comfortable for us all, including two small children. The possibility of a stair gate could be helpful. The location of a short if steep walk into Ambleside was ideal and plenty of lovely parks nearby with play areas for the little ones. An enjoyable time was had by all !
Lovely cottage with character and charm. Huge kitchen, comfy beds and good showers. Very handy for walking into the centre of Ambleside. We have a big car, and manoeuvering it up the hill and into the chapel entrance was interesting, but doable. Quiet location, though one daughter found the early birds in the hedge outside rather loud! A couple of downsides no recycling boxes and no visitor recycling facilities locally, so we ended up taking 2 bags of recycling home, which was annoying. Also, the waste calendar was 3 years out of date. There was no obvious way of contacting the owner for information. Likewise, many of the tourist leaflets were from 2018 they could really do with renewing. Lastly, we'd have appreciated tea and coffee available on arrival.
We had a great time at the cottage. The location was great and we managed with the parking. The accommodation was lovely and clean and we had everything we needed. Would love to go back in the summer when it's not raining as much
Lovely stay in Ambleside at Candleberry Cottage. Rooms were lovely and had all the amenities that we needed, including washerdryer for wet hiking clothes. The cottage was well located within easy walking distance of everything in Ambleside so no need to take out your car for an evening in the pub. Would definitely stay here again.
Daniel
We had a lovely family stay more than enough space in the house for 5 adults and 2 children under 5. The house was just as described and beautifully clean. Very well located for everything as long as you don't mind the hill back up. If you have more than one car you can get a 7 day pass getting you in lots of different car parks for only 40. The boot and coat rack by the door was great for all our walking gear at the end of the day. The only thing that I would change is the window dressing in the top floor room. It's very thin letting all the light in in the morning leading to some very early waking. Everything else was lovely.
Nice place to stay. Very compleet interior. Walking distance to the shops in the village. Numerous beautiful walking trails nearby.
Daniel
Lovely cottage, in a great location! Had a wonderful stay here, perfectly clean and tidy on arrival and the amenities were spot on. The property is really close to Ambleside town center and within walking distance of pubsrestaurants. Also, the onsite parking is ideal, and due to the location of the allocated space we were able to fit two small cars end to end. The only slight niggle was the temperature in the loft bedroom which in June was too warm to sleep comfortably for me. Would definitely stay here again as a group!
The property was clean on arrival. The location was very pleasant with lovely views from the garden. We were told there was only parking for 1 car but in actual fact there was space for 2. The kitchen and living room windows didnt provide much privacy as other tenants were walking past frequently. The beds that slept 2 people were small. The stairs and floorboards creaked, particularly in the night so children were disturbed and didnt sleep well. The toilet in the main bathroom became blocked. I phoned the number provided but it was only manned in office hours. I tried the emergency out of his number but received no response, which meant the main bathroom was out of use for the last eveningmorning and everyone had to use the en suite. This was obviously very inconvenient both for the people in the master bedroom and also the other people staying in the other bedrooms. The smell was also very unpleasant. We were unable to find instructions of what to do with beingtowels etc on departure. We prefer to know the expectations of the company.
Good property location didnt use car after arrival
Loved our stay at Candleberry Cottage and it was a perfect size for our party of 7. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, and was perfectly located near the centre of town. We would definitely return!
Phillip
Property as described, and perfect for the 5 of us. Clean and tidy, with a spacious and well equipped kitchen. Only negative was the parking, with just one tight space but this was made clear in the property description, so no complaints.
Claire
This is our third visit to this property and we weren't disappointed. The property was clean and well stocked with everything you would need to cook. The lounge is really cosy and having a bath in the property is very welcome when you've been walking all day. We will definitely be booking again!
