Christmas with Friends

A super property, with everything you would need, in a great location for all the amenities in both the Town and The lakes. Very comfortable beds, beautifully decorated Christmas tree and the log fire topped the ambience. We had a wonderful stay and hope to visit again in the future.

Luxury in the Lakes

Superb holiday home right in the middle of Ambleside. This was our second stay at Hearts House (always a good sign) The property has four double bedrooms with every mod con you could wish for. The owners have made sure that all fixtures and fittings are of the very highest quality to create a warm and very cosy holiday home. My family comprised of my wife, and adult son, along with my daughter, son in law and my two grandchildren, aged 1 and 6 years. The owners could not be more helpful and responsive. Mike, Teresa, Simon and Andrea are an absolute pleasure to deal with. We were supplied with a high chair and a good quality travel cot at no extra cost to our booking. If you’re looking for space and a very modern contemporary luxury holiday home in Ambleside, with off street parking for at least two cars - Hearts House is probably one of the best holiday homes I have had the good fortune to discover. Miss it and miss out!

A Wonderful Week

Our adult family all enjoyed our stay at Hearts House. It's in an excellent location close to the village centre and all the shops, bars and restaurants. Also within easy reach of the main bus stops, so we didn't even need to use our cars. The beds were comfortable, 'deluge' showers very good, and the kitchen well equipped. Altogether an excellent property.

Fantastic house in a beautiful setting

We have just had a lovely week at a hearts House, the property is decorated and furnished to a very high standard throughout. Lots of thoughtful touches with some great books, games and magazines to use between our walks and trips around the lakes. My husband is an ultra runner and was able to train from the property easily as it was so well situated. We are regular visitors to Ambleside but must say this has been one of the best properties that we have stayed at. The layout was perfect for large family dinners and board games at the table. We used the TV only occasionally but could log in to netflix which was useful. The kitchen was well equipped although the oven even at the highest temperature seemed to take ages to cook anything. The pans also didn’t seem to be non stick which meant a lot of elbow grease being required to clean them!! However, these were minor blips to an otherwise amazing experience and we would not hesitate to stay at Hearts House again. Thank you Mike for all your brilliant communication throughout. Well done to you all for creating a great holiday home.

Perfect Stay

Heart’s House was an amazing house to stay in over the Xmas period. The house sounded great when we read the description of it but it was even better than we thought. It was super clean, well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms and a wonderful open plan ground floor. We were two families and it was good to be all together downstairs relaxing and watching tv whist meals were prepared. The position was very quiet and yet within minutes you could be in the centre of Ambleside. Loads of shops, cafes, pubs , bakeries and a chemist in easy reach. The owners were easy to communicate with and promptly answered my questions about our stay. We were all very happy with the house and would consider returning in the future.

Lakes Holiday

We all enjoyed our stay at Hearts House. It was great having our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The views were a delight to wake up to. Large living space was ideal for mixed age group. Baby Evie was spoilt, mum and dad had relaxed birthdays with plenty of helping hands. Really special break.

Excellent half term break

This is a beautiful property in an excellent location in Ambleside. We stayed there with our 3 children (ages 11, 8, 8) and their Grandpa (late 70s) and we all had a great time. It’s a lovely house, very well appointed, and plenty of space for us to spread out. Two small things to be aware of. Firstly, the blinds in the bedrooms aren’t blackout - we had eye masks so coped with this but we’d have struggled when our kids were younger and were up with the sun! Secondly the beds are quite firm. This was fine for most of us but my partner has problems with his back on beds that are too hard, so he didn’t sleep particularly well.

A great Ambleside find!

We have stayed in a number of properties around Ambleside over the years ... this one is the best we have found so far. It ticks all the main boxes : close to town but not too close, nice views ( the vista from the veranda in the evening sunshine is spectacular) and a well presented property. The house is warm, clean and modern. We recommend Hearts House highly.

Stunning home and scenery

We have just had a wonderful stay at Hearts House, the house is truly lovely, spotlessly clean and every detail thought of. Waking up in the mornings and looking out at the view was just bliss, and the short walk to the shops was so convenient. 5 stars... we will definitely be back.

Luxury tasteful accommodation

The house stands up to its description of a luxury holiday let. The property has been decorated and finished to high standard making it a comfortable place to return to each day. It is situated only a 5 minute walk to the heart of the Ambleside town so makes it convenient for an evening stroll for a beer and food and there are plenty of places to choose from! I would highly recommend this property for its ambiance and comfort. A plus point is also that the owners are attentive and responsive to any queries or issues you may have. We will use this property again.
