Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage being immaculately clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a very high standard maintained at the property.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Ambleside and local walks, with only minor concerns about road noise from a nearby junction. The ease of access to the town and countryside makes it an ideal spot for visitors.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds extremely comfortable and the cottage cosy and warm. The presence of electric blankets and a log fire contribute to a snug experience.
The cottage is celebrated for being well equipped with modern facilities and a well-stocked kitchen. Some guests found the lighting in the sitting room a bit dim and had initial difficulties with the Aga, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Mrs Roach
Crag Head Cottage is a lovely cosy property. There was plenty of room for us and our 3 teenagers. Comfy beds and sofas, very well-equipped kitchen, decent showers. The walk into Ambleside takes about 20 minutes along a fairly busy road. Despite the cottage facing the main road, we didn't find it noisy. The courtyard garden is probably delightful in the sunshine, but we were not blessed with good weather!! The cottage is in a great location for exploring the Lake District.

The cottage is warm, comfortable and immaculately clean. Beds very comfortable with lovely bed linen and beautiful decor in bedrooms in keeping with age of this characterful cottage. Very good for walks straight from the door and easy access to Ambleside. Would recommend.
