Guests appreciate the warm, clean environment and the convenience of parking. While some maintenance issues and cleanliness in certain areas have been noted, the property remains a popular choice for its practicality and proximity to local attractions.
Cleanliness scores vary with several guests finding the cottage clean and comfortable, while others noted dust and pet hair, suggesting inconsistency in cleaning standards. Some minor issues with cleanliness in specific areas such as the bathroom and lounge were mentioned.
The location is highly praised for being central and convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and walking paths. It is considered one of the cottage's strongest features.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage warm, with a good supply of hot water. However, some furniture is reported to be dated and there are comments about a lack of seating for larger groups.
The facilities are generally appreciated, especially the utility room for muddy gear and the luxury bath. However, there are remarks about the need for better kitchen accessories, more robust glassware, and improvements to the showers and garden maintenance.

Fernleigh Cottage is an elegant and spacious stone built Lakeland cottage close to the centre of Ambleside. Recently refurbished, the property sits over three floors and offers flexibility for families, small groups of friends or a couple. With a relaxing atmosphere the house sleeps five guests, over three bedrooms, has plenty of living space and features that will enrich your stay. There’s also some lovely views out to Loughrigg and Wansfell, an orchard garden that is great for children to play in or as a place for al fresco dining. Unrestricted parking may be an option to the front of the property, but is not guaranteed. Two visitor's parking permits are provided for cars in the surrounding streets. Fernleigh Cottage is a fine place to spend a holiday and will leave you with a thirst to return.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
