Our second visit to Lookfar and we enjoyed it just as much though the weather wasn't quite as wonderful. All of Ambleside is on the doorstep and when it was raining, we had space and facilities to enjoy. Very comfy beds, good showers, large TV, maps and guides for the area.

We were very happy with the cottage. It was well-equipped, cosy, and perfectly situated. We had a mixed bag of weather, but I can't blame the property for that.
The beds were very comfortable, the wifi worked well, the TV was high quality, the cooker worked, and there is a very useful outside drying / laundry room. The location is the best bit though.
One minor point - the mirror in the top bathroom tends to mist up as soon as you turn the shower on, so I would have liked a pole for opening the skylight.
Overall - excellent. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Fantastic holiday home to come back to after a day walking the fells, cycling to Wray Castle, kayaking at Windermere or a simple stroll back from the local pubs. Beautifully furnished and fitted out and great location. Would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage - it has everything you need for a wonderful break in the Lakes. It's location is second to none and lovely walks can taken directly from the door steps.
Internally it comes into its own.
The facilities, layout, equipment and furniture is of a very high standard without being fussy.
It is a lovely place to return to after a day on the fells, walks and surrounding villages.
We would highly recommend this property to anybody who loves the Lakes!
