Fantastic property close to town and amenities
You don't get a second chance for a first impression and this property wowed us when we entered. Very clean, fresh and well appointed with all the facilities we wanted. Its obvious that the owners take great pride in this delightful cottage and was beyond our expectations. Its ideal for a couple or a family with one child in the single bedroom. Its a 5 min walk to town and all of the shops, pubs and restaurants there, but is very quite location. Parking is tight on the road but there is a allocate parking space just 5 mins walk away so didn't pose a problem at all. We're hoping to return here again next year, that's how good we felt the property and owner are.

Great week
The cottage is well appointed, very comfortable and in a perfect position for accessing Ambleside. Parking adjacent to the property is not always possible but a private space is provided a short walk away which works well and was not inconvenient. Everything about our holiday was absolutely right and the Lakeland weather was unbelievably good. Sunshine every day! When we revisit the lakes this will most likely be our destination. It’s central and Ambleside bus services make a large part of the lakes accessible if you don’t want to drive meaning a large majority of the fells can be walked without worrying about the car parking. Altogether, highly recommended..

Wonderful holiday in a gorgeous location
The whole process from start to finish was very simple. The cottage was as beautiful in real life as was advertised. I damaged my ankle before I came away and still found the cottage to be accessible even though we hadn't looked for one that was. The outside toilet was a godsend! I would recommend this cottage and Helen to everyone.

Wonderful short break in a fabulous location
Bryony cottage is so well placed for lakeside walks and popping down to the many shops, pubs, and restaurants in Ambleside. A well kitted out and comfortable cottage looked after by lovely people. Highly recommended.

A lovely cottage in the perfect location
A week in the Lake District the weather was a bit damp but the scenery is fantastic. The location of the cottage is just a couple of minutes from Ambleside centre with lots of pubs and restaurants many of which are dog friendly. The cottage was warm, cosy clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Fantastic cottage, great location and splotless
Loved our short break at the cottage. Very well equipped and splotless. Lovely and warm, great shower and massive bed. Perfect location just 1 minute from the town centre. Helen is a dream to deal with and we will definitely return !

Cute, cozy, immaculately presented cottage.
A gem of a cottage. We were a party of 3 which was just perfect of the tiny size of the cottage. The bed was to die for, enormous good quality bedding. Location was perfect and we didn't use car all weekend. All our walks started from cottage and the shops were 3mins walk. Restaurants are so overpriced so we did our own catering in the tiny kitchen. It was a pleasure for one person to cook! We did have to be very tidy and could have done with more hooks for coats etc after a day walking in the rain! We will be back. Thanks.

Beautiful cosy, quiet and well appointed cottage which had maintained its historical character.
Enjoyed every moment of our stay... just wish we had been able to stay longer. Warm, cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Beds were extremely comfortable. If it had been summer we would have loved to make use of the quiet shared terraced garden. It was completely quiet at night yet we were only two minutes walk away from Ambleside centre. Good wifi connection. The owners were most helpful and friendly. I would love to go back and would recommend it to others.... particularly anyone not wanting to have to drive everywhere... shops, buses, restaurants and cinema all close by and of course, lovely walks. A great few days.

Lovely cottage, everything you need is there. The garden is a little suntrap, beautiful
What can I say about the bed? You roll into it and never want to roll out, it is sooo comfortable. The cottage is lovely, and very clean. It is in a fabulous location 2 minutes walk to the town. and 10 minutes walk from the town to the lake. My little dog loved the garden and it was very secure. We will see you again Helen. Thank you for posting my left belongings back to me. Lovely lady.
