Please note: There are steps down to the property from road level. This 200 year old, slate, end of terrace cottage has been completely renovated by the owners, John and Maggie. It has been in their family since 1987 when it was bought off the Dickinson family who owned most, if not all of the terrace. It is set in a lovely location, away from the main road but in very easy walking distance of the village. It is called Stockdale Cottage because it sits at one end of the Stockdale Thrust, a geological feature which runs all the way to another Stockdale Cottage in Longsleddale. There are several steps up to the property from road level, however down the road there are fewer steps and will bring you to the cottage level. At this end of the thrust you are only five minutes’ walk from Ambleside town centre, where there are great shops, cafes, pubs and the Tourist Information Centre. You are only 10 minutes’ walk from Lake Windermere and if you turn right outside the house, you are straight onto Wansfell or into Blue Hill woods, so called for the bluebells in spring. You could walk north towards Kirkstone and drop back into the village via the falls, or go up the hill or wander over to Jenkins Wood and Troutbeck for a pint at the local pub. Early in the morning you many see deer from the back bedroom.

Please note: There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.



There is limited space for a cot if you are bringing your own. The double room would have to be moved around in order to accommodate a cot.

    Fab stay but due to having no car for the whole stay , I struggled to find it and ended up in taxi, even locals struggled! However all in all it was lovely although I would probably stop nearer to centre. Beautiful views and peaceful.

    Immaculate, cosy cottage. Very well equipped with everything you could need and plenty of instructions. In a quiet position, ten minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside. Plenty of walks from the door - we didn’t use the car during our stay. We would definitely stay again.

    Very warm cottage. Comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay … a lovely place to return to after a day exploring this wonderful area. Very important you are fully aware of the steep steps down from the car… and the steep stairs to the upper floor. …. not for anyone with compromised mobility!

    The cottage did the job- we slept pretty well and had what we needed in the kitchen. It is a very small property and lacked somewhere to hang coats and out outdoor stuff (of which we had lots). And there is no view at all which is frustrating when you know what’s around you. The walk into Ambleside is a short 10 stroll.

    An ideal property in Ambleside near to all local amenities and bus routes. Lovely walks nearby too, especially to the Waterfall.

    A very lovely cottage, absolutely everything you can possibly need is provided. Special mention to the lovely big bath which was much needed after a wet, winter walk! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    Great cottage. Lovely location, bit of a walk up the hill but having a car parking space made that worth it. Very clean, comfortable and cozy. Had a great three days. Thank you! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    THE COTTAGE WAS CLEANED TO A HIGH STANDARD, PARKING ON SITE GOOD, KITCHEN WELL EQUIPED. THE SMALL GARDEN WAS A NICE PLACE TO SIT GETTING THE SUN EARLY AFTERNOON, HOT WATER AND HEATING EXCELLENT. THE COTTAGE WAS CLOSE TO ALL AMENITIES, BUSES, SHOPS, PUBS, AND LAKE. ACCESS TO THE PRORERTY IS DOWN STEEPISH STEPS, WORKSURFACES ARE A LITTLE LIMITED IN THE KITCHEN. WOULD WE STAY AGAIN. YES.

    Lovely cottage in a great location. Very clean, all the facilities and equipment you need, the garden was great for the little one & the log burner was amazing - great bonus!! Only negative was the double bed was a little hard, but everything else was perfect! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    This was our 2nd stay in Stockdale Cottage and there were a few changes from last time. It's still up a steep hill and down some tricky steps but has the benefit of off road parking. The owners have redecorated it and added a Perfect Fit blind to the back door, which is very nice. Everything was nice and clean and we felt very safe staying here. We were lucky to have good weather so appreciated the chairs and table in the garden, and the washing line was useful (although there is a washer/dryer, as well as a dishwasher). The lovely log burning stove only got used once as it was so warm, and there's efficient central heating. This was the first time I had used an induction hob and was impressed by its controllability and speed. However, people with pacemakers and ICDs need to stay well clear! The keysafe was a big improvement on having to trail to Windermere to collect and return the key. Ambleside is an excellent base for exploring the Lakes and the Cottage is only a 10 minute walk from town. For a couple or family with up to 2 children we have no hesitation in recommending it. We did, however, find it a little too cosy with 4 adults. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
