The house is conveniently situated on the lakeward side of the A592.

The cottage is beautiful and the location/views of the lake are amazing - there are plenty of places to visit and walk - there is a lovely pub a short walk away - we ate there once and the food was great - the hotel at the bottom has lovely grounds and they were happy for us to walk our dog there - we also ate at their outside pizza place and hiredRead more a kayak from the water sports place right on the lake - the patio areas need some tidying to compliment the beautiful gardens Hide

A well-appointed cottage with a large sloping garden affording beautiful views of Ullswater.

The view of the lake from one particular point in the garden is wonderful. I do fully agree with a previous review that the garden furniture is not the quality you would expect of a holiday cottage of this rating and cost.

We enjoyed our stay in the Lakes; fabulous weather meant that we could spend most of our time outside. This house is spacious and has great views of Ullswater. But there is no direct access to the Lake without the permission of the neighbouring hotel or marina, which was given. When we stayed, the garden was unkempt and outdoor furniture provision Read morewas poor. No welcome pack (milk, bread, etc) was provided. Overall, Rampsbeck could do with a little TLC to make it good value for money. Hide
