We stay in Ambleside every September and this was our first time at Cornerstones. A clean, cosy, well equipped cottage and had everything we needed for our week long stay, just perfect. Right in the centre of Ambleside & close to all amenities with great walks on the doorstep. The parking permit was an added bonus! Overall a great stay, highly recommended.

Lovely Cumbrian cottage right in the heart of Ambleside. Perfect for our family stay. We’d happily return. The two parking permits were a real bonus.
