Review of Tarn House (4* VisitBritain)
Reviews from our community
1 review We had a great say at this cottage, the kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms are all lovely. We especially liked the large living/dining area where everyone could gather, relax and have our meals. The cottage is located about a mile or two outside of Ambleside and we really liked how beautiful walks were just on our doorstep, no need to drive. Would definitely come again!

Our party of 8 stayed here in July and very much enjoyed ourselves.
The property is spacious and well equipped and well located to get to some great sites in the Lake District.
The views from the "garden on the Hill" were stunning.
Booking was very easy and efficient - the owners being very responsive to our emails.
Key collection was as planned.
Sleep quality was not great - no-one really claimed to have 'slept well' all week.

3 reviews Loved Tarn House. The large living cum dining room and excellent facilities provided in the kitchen, made our holiday perfect for 2 families of 8 people. And having 2 bathrooms both with baths and separate electric showers was great too. Large TVs and good functioning Wifi was useful. The outside front patio tables and chairs had plenty of morning to lunch time sun, and the upper garden had a long evening of sunshine where we had a barbecue one evening. We were blessed with the best weeks weather especially for the Lake District, which was not expected by us! Finally, Tarn House is perfectly located to all main locations of the Lake District. Thanks, would love to go there again.

Came here for a weekend getaway with the girls, the house was beautifully kept, very cosy, and had really nice touches all around the house, loved the rustic furniture. The fire was well stocked with fire wood for us and we even found milk in the fridge ready and waiting!
The beds were really comfortable and I especially enjoyed having a bath in the deep tubs!
It would be good if there were some more signs on the way to the house as it turned out to be rather difficult to find :)

A wonderful house in a fantastic location. All the "home from home" touches you would expect plus more. We found everything as described and the pre arrival instructions were detailed and useful. Would love to stay longer next time!

We loved our stay at Tarn House and would recommend it. It is 2 miles out of Ambleside with lots of walks and local pubs to enjoy.
