You can also hire canoes, kayaks, rowing boats and bikes. You can picnic on the lawns or eat at the cafe and the kids can run wild on the huge adventure playground. You could spend an entire day here with very happy kids!

There is a lovely pool together with sauna steam room and jacuzzi . in addition there is plenty of parking and it is less than a mile from the cottage.
The cottage itself is superbly equipped with everything that you could need for a memorable holiday - we also provide all the equipment you could need for children.Travel cots, bed guard, stair gate and an abundance of other kit!

COVID 19 Statement. We are following industry standards to ensure your stay with us is safe.
1. Cleaning.
Cleanliness is incredibly important and plays a key part in the health and safety, satisfaction and overall experience of a guest’s holiday, and now more than ever, it is critical to reduce the risk of spreading infection. Together with our housekeeping company Lakelovers we are implementing the self-catering industry’s protocols for cleaning and disinfecting the cottage.
In a nutshell in addition to our normal rigorous cleaning regime:
• All touch surfaces e.g. light switches, door handles, keys, bannisters etc will be cleaned with a viricidal agent.
• All soft furnishings and mattresses will be sprayed with a viricidal agent.
• All mattress toppers and pillow protectors will be washed at a high temperature following every stay.
• Duvets and pillows will be changed and left fallow for a week between guest stays.
• There will be antibacterial hand sanitizer and extra soap in the cottage for your stay.
• All cleaners have been trained on the spread of the Covid virus. They will always be wearing full PPE. Gloves, hand sanitiser, shoe coverings and masks.
2. Check in Check out times
In order to facilitate the above cleaning regime you will not be able to check in until 5.00pm and we request that you check out by 9.00am. If you arrive early you are welcome to park in the visitor car park and go for a walk. If our cleaner has finished you are welcome to enter the cottage.
4. Removal of items from the cottage.
Many items in the cottage have presented us with a cross infection control problem. Many of these things are personal touches that we have added to make your stay in the cottage special so reluctantly we have had to temporarily put them into storage. These are as follows:
Toys and games
Books and magazines. We are leaving a few local guide books out we suggest you wipe them down with an antiseptic wipe both before and after you handle them.

Response from the owner Thank you for your lovely review. We appreciate the time you spent in posting your review on tripadvisor. We are sorry that we need to have a check out time of 9.00. Our wonderful cleaner is in great demand and to ensure that she can turn her properties around in time she needs to start at 9.00. At certain times we are able to offer a later check out on request. Kind regards, Sue

Response from the owner Good morning Nicole, Thank you for your very detailed review of your weekend at the cottage. We are very glad that you all had a wonderful time. The nights are certainly dark this time of year but the peaceful location and ease of parking combined with the buses helps to make up for that fact. A day pass on the bus for up to 5 people works out at a little more than one trip home from Ambleside for 5 people. Dogs are free. We hope to see you at Pudding again I the summer. Kind Regards Sue
