Cottage Review:  

Walker's Retreat is a sperb apartment - fitted out to the highest standard, clean and comfortable. When you find the secret stairway down through the garden into the main street, you realise how brilliantly situated it is for shops, restaurants and buses - all literally minutes away. We have stayed in Ambleside many times but this was our first visit to Walker's Retreat and we were really impressed. A word of warning though, the apartment is part of a small complex which sadly has little in the way of sound-proofing. The walls and ceilings are paper-thin and we could hear everything from the surrounding apartments. It wasn't that our neighbours were particularly rowdy but, because of the thin walls, etc. we could hear every door closing, voices in conversation and T.V. sounds. This was partly remedied by the purchase of earplugs, but couldn't prevent a few sleepless nights during our stay. The noise was a shame because otherwise this apartment would be absolutely perfect.

This property has everything you need as a perfect base to explore the area. Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy to relax in after a day of walking, with amazing views from the sun-trap balcony. Its great to have private, convenient parking for the flat. This is our fourth visit and we're about to book in one for 2019! Can't recommend enough.

Great location for town and surrounding countryside. Spotlessly clean and cosy with wonderful views of the hills from the lounge. Everything you could wish for is provided. Parking close to the apartment with sufficient space for an SUV. Highly recommended; can't wait to make a return visit to this holiday cottage.

This is our third stay and we love it even more each time. The easy access to Ambleside, the beautiful view from the balcony and so centrally placed for all the 'big' walks.

The owners are very helpful and attentive and the property has everything you need.

We can't recommend enough!

This is lovely for a weekend away.

The reason we stopped here was because it's very close to the town centre of Ambleside which is at the north point of one of the lakes.

The cottage was very clean and each room is fitted to a very high standard. At the front of the property there is a sliding door (seen in photos) which overlooks some great scenery of the Lake District.

The location is great; a very short 30s walk down some stairs at the front of the property leads you right into the centre of Ambleside. Within the town there is a great choice of cafes
