Beautiful cottage ideal location. In need of an update in respect of the decoration. Lots of chipped paint on the skirting boards. The lounge needs repainting dirty hand marks on the walls. The furniture in the lounge could do with being updated. Paying lots of money for a week away expect more than crates as furniture. Surprised that there was no welcome pack. We had to buy soap for the bathrooms. The front door also needs looking at as the handle has been removed and not replaced. The outdoor space needs swept we couldnt sit out due to the upstairs area needing a good sweep after the trees had been cut. Also the windows need cleaned. This is a fabulous cottage that could be so much more.

Absolutely loved our stay at Wainwright cottage. Excellent location, quiet but really close to town centre. Cottage was lovely inside and had everything we needed for our stay. Could do with a bit of a freshen up paint wise as was a bit scuffedmarked in places. Our pup made himself right at home too! Would definitely recommend. Ps, reattaching the handle to the front door is needed as it was a bit tricky to close! A welcome pack would also have been nice.

Spacious and nicely furnished cottage. Clean and well equipped. Very well situated, just minutes from shops, cinema, restaurants. Useful roof terrace with good views.. We took awhile to find it with our satnav. It is situated at the far end of Park Road, a short gravelled cul de sac, which could easily be missed. Nice and quiet though and has a numbered parking space. An enjoyable stay. Please note no free WiFi.

We loved our stay at the Wainwright we will definitely rebook for next year. Such a good position in Ambleside so quiet but near all the great restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend. We had good weather for our holiday and enjoyed sitting on the roof terrace.

A pleasant little cottage, very comfortable for the three of us. Would have liked to have had some logs and kindling for the fire as a welcome starter. Top floor of the staircase needed careful consideration, but then I am 6' 1. Learnt my lesson after a few knocks to the head. Would book again.

A Wonderful Cottage in a Fantastic Spot Wainwright Cottage is a wonderful place to stayspacious, cosy, and in a fantastic position. Just moments from the shops, close to the park, and with great walking routes right from the door, its ideal for families, friends walkers, and dog owners. The dedicated parking space is a huge bonus, and the porchboot room is brilliant for all your outdoor gear though it did leak a bit during wet weather. Inside, the openplan layout makes it feel sociable and welcoming. The big kitchen is perfect for cooking and chatting, with the dining table and lounge all flowing together. We were two parents, two 17yearolds, and a dog, and it suited us perfectly. We had lovely meals and cosy nights by the wood burner. The sofas arent the comfiest, but theyre easy to move together for games and chats. There are two double bedrooms with fantastic views and two bathrooms. The main bathroom is huge and would be perfect with a shower addedat the moment, the only shower is in the loft, which works fine but is a bit of a squeeze. It can be awkward if everyone wants a shower, as it means trailing up to the tiny loft bathroom. That said, there was always plenty of hot water for showers and baths, which made things easy and relaxing. A new mattress in the loft bedroom and some more luxurious pillows would also be a great touchnot a lot, just enough to lift the comfort. We were sad to leaveas always when leaving Ambleside, our favourite place in the Lakes. With a few thoughtful updates, bathroom beds and some furniture and tv replacements a few games we brought our own this could easily be classed as a luxury cottage. Id definitely return. 810 for the fantastic position, parking, and cosy openplan layout. It has all the practical things you need.

Just got back from Wainwrights Cottage , we were supposed to go on Saturday to get there at 4 but it poured all day so traveled on the Sunday earlygot there at 11 the porch has flooded and stunk of stagnent water, put the mat outside because it was soaked, cleaned the porch twice,it smelt better. Wainwrights is situated just behind the Main Street and is ideal for the shops and parks and walking to catch the boat for a trip around the lake.We also had a private car park outside which was great.A lot of marks on Carpets,Walls,floors it could do with a deep clean,toilet seat was yellow underneath.It was so quiet on a night time Really nice,We would stay in the area again .

The cottage was lovely , brilliant location , near all the shops and restaurants , great to have a car parking space in a quiet courtyard, bathroom with big roll top bath was lovely to soak in when we got back from hikes . There were a couple of bits that could may be looked at . Two slates in the bed on the first floor were broken making the mattress sag , the starter button on the hob doesnt work so we had to search for matches or a lighter. Maybe a little more attention to cleaning there were empty crisp packets between the bed and side board that werent ours, but overall a lovely stay .

2nd stay here. Inside was perfect apart from blood stain on bed sheet, no orange guide in drawer for tv use. The rear courtyard and the terrace off bedroom were covered with weeds and the patio table n chairs were dirty. Otherwise perfect spot close to amenities.

I've said on previous visits, the roof terrace above the kitchen needs cleaning regularly and all the leaves removing, same around the front and back doors, not kept very tidy, also the microwave needs replacing, it's all rusty now and there's a loose electrical socket behind the bedhead in the 1st floor bedroom. The stay itself was OK but no essentials provided.

Lovely cottage, perfect location. Clean when we arrived. Both bedrooms a great size. We feel a few things could be added logs for the log burner, tea, coffee, oil for cooking would be helpful. We also had no hand soap in the top bathroom. We feel this is a requirement. Overall a lovely stay and we would come back but a few things to be added.

We loved everything about the property. The location was perfect for exploring The Lake District and just a few minutes walk into the beautiful Ambleside. My only couple of negatives would be that the rooftop terrace needs to be cleaned off as full of long grass and weeds and note to future guests, there are no basic kitchen supplies ie washing up liquid, cooking oil etc. This obviously didnt spoil our holiday, we had a great time. If you want to eat out we would recommend Lucys on a Plate amazing menu and food and Dodds.

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped in a lovely quiet corner but close to all the amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only minor suggestion I would make is to have hand soap available in toilets or to state in listing that it needs to be brought with you.

The balcony on the first floor was unusable due to be like a wild flower meadow, covered in weeds!

We were unable to locate the 'orange folder' containing WiFi details for two days finally finding them in a 2 photo frame on the lounge wall! !!! I made 16 calls to the help line with no answer to any. On Wednesday the porch flooded so I emailed your care team, again with no response. I have photos to support these details.

Lovely property for our needs and great location, even though in centre of Ambleside it was very quiet, well equipped for eating in, the only 2 things that were a slight issue, we couldnt get in the bike store and the table in the kitchen is extremely wobbly, otherwise we would definitely stay there again.

Gorgeous cottage finished to a very high spec. Comfortable and quiet. However, there should be a warning about the low ceiling and beam as it's easy to hit your head coming downstairs from the upper floor. There was also problems with the shower. The water ran cold after a couple of minites and it wasn't possible to have 2 showers in succession which is a big issue as the accomodation is for 4 guests. I would also suggest removing the fake grass on the terrace outside the master bedroom as it's a lovely space but can't be used even on a dry day if it's rained recently as it's soggy and waterlogged

We visited Wainwrights Cottage at Xmas, & only problem was hob ignition not working & had to be lit manually. We have just visited again in October & hob still not mended also upon arrival found a pan & bowl under Boiler catching leaking water. We thought this must have been reported as cleaners must have seen this, so we expected someone to come & repair it. 3 days later it was still the same, awhich stopped us having shower as the water pressure wasn't reaching second floor due to problem with Boiler & water was cold in shower aswell as shower head full of limescale and blocked. We tried to have bath which was on first floor, but the plug for bath was too small, which meant water just escaped & it wasn't until day 4 when we were leaving that we found a larger plug on floor under bath! Not happy with our visit as feel it's expensive for what we experienced, so will not book Wainwrights Cottage again.
