This is the second time I have stayed in this property and again we all had a wonderful stay. The house is great for my family and elderly mum and feels just like home. Only a 5/10 min walk to the lake and 15 to the village. We will continue to return to this property as we love it!

Lovely cottage. Great location within easy walk to town centre, hills, waterfalls or to lakeside and the jetties for cruises. Very well equipped. Spoilt for seating areas inside and out. Possibly overall one of the best weve stayed in for a long time.

Stayed at Lowfold Barn on several occasions and as always we had a lovely stay. Cosy home with a great location in the heart of Ambleside. Lots of good walks around also. The added extras the new owner has in place are a lovely touch as was the bottle of champagne and treats for the 2 dogs. Will definitely be back at one of our favourite cottages.

A great week at Low Fold Barn - 7 adults and 1 friendly Westie dog. The house is warm, cosy and has everything we wanted including BT Sport & good wifi. The parking for two cars was excellent, location was great and although by a main road, the traffic noise was not too distracting. The beds were comfy, kitchen well-stocked with usual equipment incRead moreluding a new Nespresso machine! The week sped by far too fast, and would happily stay here again. Hide

The cottage was cosy and in a fantastic location. Although too cold to sit out (last week of March) the garden had a great seating area and was secure for our 2 dogs. The bed was comfortable and the main bedroom a great size. The lounge area was really cosy with the fire lit. Overall we had a fantastic week, as we always do in the lakes.

Very comfortable, cosy property. We were worried that there would be a lot of road noise but it wasn't bad. Ambleside is a great holiday base - plenty of places to eat out locally, and walks without needing to use the car.
