BODEN HOWE IS WONDERFUL
By Mandy on 16-Oct-2026Boden Howe is the most wonderful place to stay in Ambleside. Helen is definitely a super host, very friendly and very easy to communicate with. The house was spotless and it really is very welcoming and cosy. The use of the spa at the hotel is a nice extra. The house is in a prime location for the shops and walks. I thoroughly recommend Boden Howe. Thank you Helen.
FANTASTIC LOCATION
By Katherine on 25-Sep-2026Fantastic location, plenty of walks straight from the door. The house was an easy walk to the shops and restaurants of Ambleside. Very clean with good facilities, had everything you could need. Happily stay here again. The host ws very helpful with instructions and guidance. Handy parking nearby.
HELEN'S HOME WAS WONDERFUL
By Jo on 28-Oct-2026Helen's home was wonderful. Incredibly clean and very comfortable. Completely matched the description. Helen was responsive, helpful and very friendly. What a fabulous location to base ourselves. The views from the house are incredible. Didn't want to leave.
PERFECT PLACE
By Rhiannon on 18-Sep-2026Boden Howe was the perfect place for our family holiday. We loved its position on a small terrace a couple of minutes" walk above the town. The house was spotlessly clean and well appointed and our host, Helen, was lovely. Helen's complementary home made ginger cake was delicious and the parking space and access to the next door hotel's leisure facilities was a boon. A bold statement but in our opinion, we haven't found a nicer place to stay in Ambleside in all our many years of holidaying there!
WONDERFUL STAY
By Carol on 04-Sep-2026We had a wonderful stay at Helen's place. The location was perfect for our daily hikes through the Lake District. The home is very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped to cook anything. we particularly enjoyed the sitting area in the back garden enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings after a long day of hiking. Nice to have shops and restaurants so close. Helen was extremely responsive and helpful.
WONDERFUL COTTAGE AND HOSTS
By John on 21-Aug-2026Wonderful cottage and wonderful hosts. Tastefully decorated with all the modern conveniences and more including ready access to a local spa/gym. Great access to Ambleside in a peaceful and well proportioned cottage. Would highly recommend 100%
