Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean, with a few noting areas for improvement such as dust, pet hair, and a musty odour. The majority of comments are positive, but the negative remarks suggest there is room for better consistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for being central yet quiet, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The convenience of the location is a consistent highlight among guests.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, with some negative feedback regarding the sofa and bed comfort. The positive remarks about the bedroom and bathroom suggest a good level of comfort overall.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities and some guests appreciate the extra touches. However, there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as fixing drafts and ensuring hot water availability, which slightly lower the score.
Guests frequently mention and appreciate the welcome packs and treats, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that while these extras are well-received, their provision may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
If you are looking for that romantic break, this tradition Lakeland cottage is the one for you. Close to the Lakeland town of Ambleside and a short walk to Lake Windemere where you can take a cruise or hire a boat.
A short walk takes you to the town, where there are many excellent, restaurants, bars and cafes. Buttonhole Cottage is perfectly placed to explore the Lake District and has an abundance of walks from your doorstep.
The cottage is tucked away from the hustle and bustle and is full of charm. Park in the lane and on entering the cottage you will step into the sitting room with character beams, wooden floor and a tradition fireplace with wood burner. A great place to relax after a walk or a days sightseeing.
A few steps take you to the kitchen and dining area where you will find everything you need to cook up that romantic meal or hearty breakfast.

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.

The chocolate, flowers and dog treats were a particularly lovely touch! Security-wise, I would have liked a way to lock the front door from the inside, since I was a woman travelling alone and didn't feel completely safe with just the keypad. Otherwise, we had a lovely week and would definitely come again.

Nice touches of treats left for the dog and ourselves. Very handy for the town. The only issue was the parking as we struggled to park near the cottage. The mattress was extremely hard but that is personal taste.
