Guests say
Tottle Bank in Ambleside is a spacious and comfortable cottage, praised for its well-equipped kitchen, large master bedroom, and bright lounge. Guests appreciated the convenient walk into town and the rare benefit of two parking spaces. While the property is generally clean and homely, some minor maintenance issues and cobwebs were noted. The twin bedroom is compact but suitable for children or single adults. Overall, guests enjoyed their stay and found the cottage welcoming and practical for families or groups.
The property is described as very clean overall, though a few guests mentioned cobwebs in high places and window recesses.
The cottage is within a 5-10 minute walk of Ambleside town centre, though the walk is steep. The location is convenient for most guests, with the added bonus of two parking spaces.
Guests found the cottage warm, spacious, and comfortable, especially the master bedroom and lounge. The twin room is small but adequate for children or one adult.
The kitchen is well appointed and spacious, with a good-sized dining table. Some minor issues were noted, such as loose cupboard hinges and a lack of basic supplies like toilet rolls and bin liners.
Some guests felt the provision of basic supplies could be improved. No mention of welcome gifts or extras, so these cannot be guaranteed.

It is a superb base for local, woodland and fell walks, many of which can be reached without the need for a car.Tottlebank is a delightful, individually designed spacious 3 bedroom terraced property on three levels, situated in the prestigious Falls area which is a short walk from Ambleside centre - less than 500 meters, so no need to drive! It overlooks Stockghyll, an area of pretty woodland and tumbling waterfalls cascading from Red Screes above, to Ambleside and the lake below. In summer, with the windows open, the river provides a pleasant background noise to lull you to sleep. The Falls are set in one and a half acres of landscaped grounds on the former site of the old Bobbin Mill. The original buildings have been converted to luxury cottages and apartments with the addition of new accommodation built in the same slate and stone to blend sympathetically into the area. Ambleside a short walk away, still retains its unique atmosphere whilst offering a fantastic variety of shops, including an old style bookshop, numerous cafés, pubs and eateries and two cinemas for those less sunny days. There are also numerous activities as well as a wonderfully picturesque small park with beautiful views and children’s playground on the banks of the Rothay river. There is also easy access to the northern shore of Lake Windermere and the ruins of the Roman Fort at Waterhead. Tottlebank is decorated and furnished to a high standard with meticulous attention to detail, incorporating every modern convenience to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Tottle Bank was a very comfortable place to stay ,the lounge was a nice size and very light , lots of cobwebs in the window recess. The kitchen is a good size with all the equipment you need , but some of the cupboard doors had loose hinges . We only used one of the three bedrooms ,which was very comfortable . Overall we had a lovely stay .

This is our second stay in Tottle Bank with a party of 5 adults. The cottage is warm, spacious and well equipped. There were a few cobwebs up high which need removing, but overall it was clean. The twin room is small, but was fine for one adult. The kitchen is large with a good sized dining table. The two allocated parking spaces are quite rare in Ambleside. We had one SUV and one small car which fitted perfectly, but it would be tricky with two large cars. It is a 10 minute walk down a steep hill down to the town centre, so not for the infirm.

Great house, spacious. 2 small bedrooms downstairs. The twin room is very small with only a small gap between the beds but the kids were fine in there. The master bedroom is huge! 5-10 min walk into town, no problem. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean.
