If you are looking for a self-catering cottage and group accommodation in Ambleside, our two characterful holiday cottages offer you a central location and an elevated town centre position with stunning Fell views and free parking. The cottages are connected via a lockable internal door, meaning you can easily sleep 20, perfect if you want additional privacy or a ‘granny flat’.

Town centre location

Ambleside is one the Lake District’s most popular and vibrant towns, sitting at the head of Lake Windermere. Tucked away on a quiet road with private parking (gold dust in Ambleside!), our self-catering holiday cottages are within a five minute walk of all the fabulous amenities that the town has to offer – shops, restaurants, parks, even a cinema. One is ideal for large groups, the other is the perfect getaway for friends or a small family.

Leave your car on the driveway as you enjoy doorstep access to both tourist attractions and outdoor activities – beautiful walks, cycle trails and waters. Entry is from the private driveway adjacent to your very own waterfall.

A seven minute stroll brings you to Water Head, the head of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. From here you can hop on a leisure ferry, hire a boat or venture out on a kayak.

Iveing House was the perfect way for all our family to come together. Enough room for all 14 of us and 3 dogs. Perfect location for walks, bars. Owner very helpful & friendly. Would recommend & return.Julie & Steve, 30 December 2023Iveing House *****

Perfect stay, really enjoyed our weekend here. The ideal location for the town centre. Warm, clean & cosy. Would definitely stay again. Vanessa, 10 November 2023Iveing View *****

We had a lovely time, plenty of room for all the family to relax and have fun. The games for the children we great and the boot room perfect for all the wet walking gear, and to dry the dog off. We will be back.Nicola, 27 October 2023Iveing House *****

Short of finding some way to control the weather, our week at Iveing View lacked not a single thing. The cottage is warm, well furnished and spotlessly clean. This was our 3rd trip… there will be a 4th. I don’t believe I can offer a higher recommendation. Mike, 22 Sept 2023Iveing View *****

Muddy boots and dogs welcome!
