Dove Cot country cottage Ambleside

The garden was exceptional, and the communal area was excellent to sit out in

Slight road noise

The cottage was lovely, warm and very comfortable. Powerful shower and the garden was fabulous too.

The shower screen is upside down which resulted in the floor getting wet. Pulling out of the driveway was also quite difficult, easier with a passenger in the car and safer to head to Ambleside and turn around if you wanted to pull out and go left.

Rebooked after staying here in March 2025. Ticks all the boxes for a dog friendly cosy weekend. Ideal location close to Ambleside or a nice walk along River Elterwater. Cottage is well equipped if you choose to stay in and cook, which we did last year. Garden is fully enclosed with amazing views and a communal garden too. Comfy bed, comfy sofa and balcony to sit out with a cheeky wine. Look forward to booking again. Thanks Liz 😊

N/A - the Dove Cot ticks all the boxes for a cosy relaxing dog friendly weekend.

The spa bath, the view of the river

Uncomfortable bed, filthy behind the table, sofa is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on. Upon looking underneath there was a plank of wood that has clearly been put there as they don't want to buy a new one. It was horrible and the owners should be ashamed. They won't do anything if people keep paying for it. I was appalled frankly , when I'm working out nearly £200 per night I feel I was robbed. We wanted to leave the next day. Shower holder needs fixing as it's loose. The shower screen wasn't fit properly so water went everywhere. Toilet seat doesn't stay up. Coffee pot had rock hard coffee in it. Nothing to clean the floor with just a duster. No washing machine. I would never stay again. Towel rail poorly fitted. Arrived to a garden with a dog poo bag. Not a private garden as the owners live next door. Garden needs de weeding. Getting out of the road is a nightmare. We had a very windy day and the wind was coming through the doors out to the garden.
