Guests say

Netherbeck Cottage in Ambleside is highly praised for its stunning refurbishment, modern amenities, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the property's cleanliness. While some guests mention minor issues with heating and door locks, these do not detract from the overall positive experience. The cottage's proximity to local shops, cafes, and scenic walks makes it an ideal choice for a relaxing stay in the Lake District.

Guests consistently note the property's spotless condition, with several reviews highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. The property appears to be well-maintained and immaculately presented.

The location is frequently commended for being central and convenient, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and pubs, yet quiet enough to offer a peaceful retreat. Its proximity to walking trails and local amenities in Ambleside is a significant advantage.

The majority of guests find the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy, although there are a few mentions of hard beds and a chilly front room. Overall, the comfort level is high, with only minor preferences affecting individual experiences.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and luxurious bathrooms. However, some guests experienced difficulties with the heating system and door locks, and there were suggestions for better instructions for appliances and more kitchenware.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

About this property

Netherbeck is a beautiful slate-fronted cottage nestled in the Cumbrian town of Ambleside. Netherbeck welcomes both families and friends seeking an adventure in the Lake District. It is set over four storeys and offers a boutique decor with all you need for a self-catered stay. Step inside to find the sitting room, where you may unwind on the comfortable sofa while watching your favourite shows on the Smart TV. The big kitchen/diner, which features Velux windows and an electric oven and hob for preparing hearty meals, is found on the ground floor. When supper is ready, take a seat at the table and raise a glass of bubbly to commemorate the event. After that, head downstairs to the lower ground floor to find the snug, which features a wide corner sofa and is ideal for a movie night. As the evening draws to a close make your way upstairs where you have a choice of three bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and two double rooms, complemented with wood furnishings, one is on the first floor, while the other two are on the top floor. A hot shower awaits you before joining your visitors for a steaming cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine as preparations for the day are made. Situated in the lovely village of Ambleside where you can pick up a souvenir from a gift shop, White Platts Miniature Golf for some family fun, and the Ambleside Climbing Wall to test your stamina, are just a few of the attractions on your doorstep. A scenic journey will take you to the beautiful Lake Windermere, which is great for enthusiastic walkers and watersports enthusiasts; nearby is The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, where you may relive your childhood memories. Visit the market town of Keswick for a unique learning experience at the Derwent Pencil Museum and a fascinating indoor adventure at Puzzling Place. Stay at the delightful Netherbeck to discover the Lake District's hidden jewels.

Ambleside, located near the northern extremity of England's largest lake, Lake Windermere, is an excellent location for exploring the middle Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here, including cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere, as well as a variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs to satisfy all interests in the hamlet. The parkland at Waterhead gives beautiful views down the lake and a brief stretch of beach, while a walk in the opposite way, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, leads to the enchanting Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

  • Carolyn

    The kitchen and baths looked new, and all the rooms were well-decorated. It was a perfect location for visiting the town of Ambleside and for taking short hikes nearby. Our kids loved their rooms on the top floor. This home is very comfortable, and its functionality was as reliable as we had hoped. Thank you for sharing this with us and for allowing us to visit the Lake District!

  • Kate
