Holly Howe Cottage

We bought Holly Howe Cottage in 1995 with our retirement in 2006 in mind. Plans changed and so we have continued to let it for self catering holidays when we are not there ourselves. We chose our cottage because it’s in a very convenient, quiet position on a private cul de sac overlooking Ambleside and yet only 3 minutes walk to the center of the village. Our other consideration was to find somewhere which would be a good base from which to get around the rest of the Lake District and Ambleside fits the bill very well. The cottage sleeps 5-6 people and we welcome well behaved pets providing our conditions are respected. There is private parking for one car immediately in front of the cottage, on our piece of the road. In the back garden there is a terrace with benches and an insulated summer house both os which offer views of the Fairfield Horseshoe.

The Tariff

We have always been pleased to offer comfortable self catering holidays in Ambleside at reasonable prices,, and although our Enjoy England inspector has again judged Holly Howe Cottage to be 2% shy of a 4 star grading we haven’t increased any of our prices in 2012 and have reduced many. Fewer visitors came to Ambleside in 2011 and some local businesses have failed as a result and so we are hoping that guests might consider Lakeland holidays at mid and low season.

Holly Howe Cottage is available for self catering holidays all year round and we offer short breaks in very low season. Weekly rates range from £195 - £595 which includes all fuel, bed linen and towels. We are happy to negotiate prices for late bookings.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
