Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Ambleside

Caxton Cottage was the perfect base for our week exploring the Lake District. The location is perfect — just steps from the train station, bus stops and a beautiful large grocery store. Within minutes you can walk to any kind of restaurant/coffee shop in town, or down the hill to Bowness. The cottage was a wonderfully cozy, comfortable and peaceful home for us. Well outfitted, we cooked and stayed in several nights after our active days of biking, boating and exploring. Kay is wonderful. Every interaction was warm, gracious, helpful and she responded within minutes!

A cozy spot perfectly located for an escape to the lakes. The birdhouse had everything you could need and the bed was so comfortable. We had such an amazing weekend and can't wait to come back!

Had a fantastic 3 night stay here.. lovely and quiet but close walking distance to the town centre. Felt like home from home and had everything we needed! X

loved this stay! immaculate inside and spacious. very comfortable for 3 people. shower was a bit small if you’re tall. well decorated and designed. close to town - easy to walk to shops and restaurants. street parking wasn’t a problem for us.

Me and my partner love coming to Windermere and decided to stay somewhere new, we've now just found our forever Windermere holiday home. What a cracking little place, highly recommend✨️

What a fantastic property and garden in such a quiet, lovely neighbourhood yet only 5 minutes’ walk to Bowness on Windermere shops and eating places, a few minutes further walk takes you to the lake and ferry terminal. The property was warm and homely, yet everything was pristine, all the rooms were immaculate, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, spotlessly clean. The ensuite bedrooms were beautiful as were the bathrooms. It has a huge driveway and great enclosed back garden with firepit and Weber BBQ, lots of seating, pity we were not able to take advantage of this due to the weather. The garden was very safe and enclosed for our dogs. We were able to adjust the heating temperature to suit, we really appreciated. Otto was fantastic and responded immediately to any queries before and during our holiday, as well as being pro-active from booking and throughout our week’s holiday. Thanks to the housekeeper who is doing a wonderful job.

We’re just home after a very lovely stay in the most beautiful location. Louise communicated well and provided us with a pristine place to stay with everything we could wish for to make us feel at home. The apartment has the most amazing views from every room and is very comfortable and well equipped. There are so many lovely places to visit in the area, some walkable from the accommodation, that we definitely need to visit again. We would have no hesitation in recommending this air bnb - it’s one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you Louise and Mick 😊

Really enjoyed our stay at Black Mesa. A very cosy, restful and comfortable place to come back to after a day's walking. Great location with lots to do round and about.

This lodge was beautiful with amazing views over Lake Windermere from both the deck and the living room. The weather was a mix, but honestly, it was stunning whether it was raining or sunny, though the sunshine definitely made it even more magical. The lodge itself was spotless and had everything we needed, making it feel super cozy and like a home away from home. White Cross Bay Holiday Park was a great spot, really peaceful and in a perfect location for exploring, whether on foot or by car. We’ll definitely be back for another stay!

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Amazing experience there! So peaceful and close to nature Debbie the wellness therapist is the best. I would recommend everyone visiting ribblesdale to try booking with her!

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

One of our favourite ever Airbnb’s! Just the perfect peaceful spot in the quintessential English countryside. The place was brilliantly kitted with so many smaller things you end up needing without realizing it. The full length mirror is always appreciated. Fantastic large smart TV with easy login to any streaming service. The “Herdy” theme for the kitchen was really a nice touch. Great big fridge and freezer. Super comfy bed. Nice big couch to relax after a long day of exploring. Alun was a fantastic host. We will definitely be back!

Lovely caravan sited on a well kept location. We are an older couple who only stayed one night to break up a journey, but would thoroughly recommend this space especially if you have a young family. Spotlessly clean and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay, it makes for a very enjoyable holiday. Many thanks to the hosts!

We had a wonderful 5 day stay! The caravan was perfect for our family of four (plus our dog) — cozy, spacious, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. What really stood out was the incredible attention to detail, especially for our pup — treats, a towel, and even a blanket were waiting for her. It was so heartwarming and showed how much care went into everything. Our host was amazing — Sam sent us great recommendations in advance for places to eat and things to do, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The fresh flowers and duck food left for us were such a lovely surprise — it truly felt like a personal and welcoming experience. We’re so grateful and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, pet-friendly getaway!

A lovely peaceful getaway with great views from the bedroom. Sarah was very welcoming and helpful with check-in.

We loved our stay! It’s in a good location for exploring the area, with a shop and restaurants/pubs only a short drive down the road. Viv and Antonio couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful during the trip. Livvy the Labradoodle had a great time pottering around the outside space, and it was really safe for her! We would recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, it is lovely and spacious, the garden was a bonus, and the area is beautiful and peaceful. Emma has thought of things you may need to make your stay enjoyable, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. We would highly recommend a stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, a great base to enjoy this part of the Lake District.

Amazing stay in a beautifully situated old mill. A great location for walking and exploring the higher lakes. The hosts were so lovely, responsive and accommodating with great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

Paul's place was absolutely stunning in a lovely area, away from the noise, but very close to all the possible amenities. Lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops, close to the lake and many different attractions. It was so nice not to have to worry about parking and just walk everywhere. The place itself had everything you might need. Lovely balcony, beautiful views, amazing garden and lots more. Host itself made sure, that we find everything easily and provided us with recommendations about the area. We had a wonderful holidays and can't recommend this place enough for the future guests!

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Dylan was very helpful the cottage has excellent modern facilities. Luxurious Bedding and linen the whole cottage was pristine clean, and no clutter. It is a unique property inn that is a conversion of a former church and so is very social. it is in a peaceful location and following the sat nav given by Dylan was easy to find. Very comfortable beds it has to be said that the cottage met our needs perfectly and met the description given 100% which was why we choose it.
