Malcolm

A lovely cottage, in the heart of the lake district. Ideal location for the many walks that can be done from the door.

Julie

Fabulous location.

Lorna

A wonderful warm and cosy cottage in a fantastic location. Plenty of walks to do from the cottage, and many more a short drive away. The garden, as always is a delight.

Deborah

We love going to Ellers. Great location and the most gorgeous garden.

Anushka

Great location. Lovely garden. Quiet. Short walk to hills and fell. Loved it.

Scott

Great cottage in excellent location for walkers. Some walks straight from door whilst Langdale Valley is only a 10 min drive. The cottage is well equipped throughout, especially the kitchen, the only thing it lacks is a tumble dryer. Lounge furniture and beds all very comfy and shower is excellent, powerful and hot. Gardens are a true delight, our dog loved cooling off in the small stream. We will be booking again for next year.

Lovely house and location

Marion

Great, clean cottage with a spectacular garden. Great location for visiting the Lakes. Cottage was clean , comfortable & had everything you need for our stay. It was great to have a fire on when it got a bit chilly.

Joan

Ellers Close is a warm cosy cottage with a beautiful garden (for both humans and dogs). Ideally located with easy access to Ambleside and the Langdale Valleys. Plenty of local walks both high and low but not too far to get to routes to other parts of the Lakes. Nothing better than a good walk and then return to a welcoming and comfortable fire in the cosy lounge looking out onto glorious views. A special place.

Rachel

Cannot fault location - 5*

Tracey

This is my 2nd time at this cottage and already booked again in August

Marie

We had such a wonderful stay and loved Ellers Close. The location is fabulous, so peaceful, and it proved a great base for exploring the local fells. The house is very warm, clean and comfortable, with beautiful views from every window. Our children loved the garden and we all enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. We hope to return and would not hesitate to recommend the place to others.

Emma

The cottage is beautiful. The garden is superb and very safe for our 2 dogs
