Rothay Holme Cottage in Ambleside is a well-situated property with spacious rooms and convenient parking. Guests appreciate its proximity to local amenities and the charm of its layout. While some guests have encountered issues with heating and maintenance, the cottage's location and overall comfort are frequently praised. The property's character and potential for a relaxing stay are highlighted, despite some areas needing attention.
Reviews indicate a range of experiences with cleanliness. Some guests found the property very clean, while others noted issues such as dust, dirty windows, and mould in bathrooms. The inconsistency leads to a slightly above average score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to Ambleside and the Lake District, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The availability of parking is a significant plus.
Guests find the cottage comfortable overall, with spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. However, some furniture is reported as worn or uncomfortable, and the steep staircase to the second floor can be challenging.
Facilities are generally good, but several reviews mention ongoing boiler issues, lack of shower facilities in one bathroom, and the need for better seating in the living area. Maintenance issues such as garden upkeep and window repairs are also noted.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Rothay Holme Cottage is a classy bolt hole is situated on the outskirts of Ambleside; close a park, and the River Rothay, but still only a minute's stroll from the centre of the village. The shores of Lake Windermere are just a little further. Laidback sophistication is the theme of the Rothay Holme Cottage interior; snuggle up together in front of the wood burning stove, gaze out onto the fells through cute cottage windows and enjoy the impeccable interior design with a finish fit for any glossy magazine.
There's plenty of space for family meals or dinner parties, alternatively you are only a minute's stroll from the bustling nightlife that Ambleside has to offer. Each bedroom has a lavish bathroom facility, so even two couples can pamper themselves in their own space. Plus, the contemporary, open plan living space makes for a great place to wind down and relax.
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.
