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no Eggflip spatula!!, airer and a good sort through the mounds of tourist leafleta most of which were many years out of date.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!

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 Also, the waste calendar was 3 years out of date.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.
