Enjoy a peaceful retreat for up to four guests in a traditional two-bedroom cosy cottage, well placed to enjoy the picturesque landscapes and country walks of England’s largest national park, straight from your doorstep!
Upon returning from a day of exploration, there is ample space available for storing muddy boots and damp coats in case the weather isn't favourable.

Draining board didn't drain. Wardrobe door in main bedroom is a bit tricky. Shower should do with a warning on not to turn it passed number 2, the water is scalding hot. A few light bulbs out. But that's being really picky.

We had a wonderful week, cycling, hiking, eating out & in, relaxing in the sun, loved every minute.

The house was perfect for my son & I, perfect size, very cozy and comfortable & with its own parking. Very close to everything Ambleside offers but in a quiet street.

Somewhere to sit outside would be nice, but to be honest, the park was only a few minutes walk & also Windermere itself isn’t far to walk either, with plenty of areas to sit in the sun.

We loved Otters Holt and felt comfortable and at home there. It was a great base for exploring the area and the parking space was especially helpful.

We found the front door a bit hard to open and the lounge door. May need lubricant or new lock barrel.
One bedside light not working.

I had the most perfect at Otters Holt! The cottage was just described and what I had looking for as a cosy December pre- Christmas get away... extra touches there being a Christmas tree and decorations up to make you at home and a bit festive. I knew that some of Ambleside would be closed for the season, but still plenty to do in the area and some stunning walks straight from the cottages front door! I couldn't recommend the areacottage more! Also, Lucy's on a Plate (at the end of the road) had been recommended by two friends prior to going, and it was fabulous!
