Summary
Feedback highlights a well-appointed property with excellent facilities for large groups and stunning views. While most guests enjoyed their stay, concerns were raised about cleanliness, a steep hill, noisy rooms, and a few maintenance issues. Overall, the house was well-received with recommendations for minor improvements.
The property
The aptly named Hillhead Cottage, sits in an elevated position with great views of the fells and is just a short stroll from the centre of Ambleside Village. This location is one of the most sought after in the Lakes and this modern, semi-detached property has been finished to exacting standards and offers generously sized, high quality accommodation for up to eight guests. Ever popular, no matter what the season, Hillhead is a great place to bring family and friends together.
Built into the hillside, the property’s living areas are all on the ground floor, as is one of the bedrooms and adjacent shower room. A bright and airy lounge opens to a large balcony with stunning views over Ambleside with Wansfell to the east and to the west, in the distance you will spot Coniston Fells. There’s a lovely family kitchen / dining area complete with a reading area and a cosy log burning stove. A smaller lounge is also on this floor providing twin sofas. On this floor is the utility room providing laundry and drying facilities - great accommodation whatever the weather!
On the lower ground floor there are three additional bedrooms, two with en suite facilities and a family shower room.
The vibrant village of Ambleside has a great selection of bars, restaurants and cafes along with a great range of shops many selling local produce. Situated in the heart of the Lake District there are many walks from the door, then after a day on the fells, return to Hillhead to watch the sunset and relax!
Hillhead is a welcoming house within the Lake District National Park, in the town of Ambleside, Cumbria, boasting a woodburning stove and a balcony. Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.
