Perfect Location
Lovely house in a perfect location; very central with all Ambleside has to offer on the doorstep but nicely positioned above the town centre. Car parking a huge bonus. Very clean and well equipped. Owner very helpful and communicative.

Lovely home from home, great location.
This is probably the best property we have stayed in in Ambleside. The layout of the house works really well both practically and for relaxing. The house was beautifully presented and very well equipped. It location is excellent and the garden a lovely bonus, we made extensive use of the patio for relaxing and eating. The garden might not work so well for small children or older people. We would highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again,

Holiday house rental in Ambleside
Lovely clean and nicely equipped house. Very convenient for centre of Ambleside town. Parking is not ideal and the steepness of the slope to reach the property makes access exhausting unless you are very fit. Lovely views over the town and surrounding hills from the house. It worked for us with a 19 month old but a toddler of running around age would not be able to use the garden which is exceptionally steep. This is an ideal house for young fit people or very fit walkers. The house could benefit from a tumble dryer, as it was difficult to dry things sufficiently on just a clothes horse. Otherwise a very well appointed house right in the heart of the town, but away from any traffic noise. Very friendly owners.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Metcalfe

Host profile image
Boden Howe was purchased by my parents in 1961 and where I lived until 1977; my parents continued to live there until 2007 and the property has subsequently proved to be a popular choice for holidaymakers ever since. Boden Howe is one of four terraced houses originally built and occupied by my forebears.

Why they chose this property

Rather than relinquish Boden Howe in 2010 we lovingly refurbished the property and are passionate about providing guests with everything they require for a memorable holiday in Ambleside.

What makes this property unique

Boden Howe is located in an unrivalled location overhanging the village and boasting exceptional views of the surrounding fells. There is no vehicular access to the property but this adds to the unique tranquility of the house. Private parking is provided for three vehicles (two may be garaged) a matter of yards away with adequate additional space for bikes, etc.
A well maintained sloping garden includes an attractive patio area with a glorious westerly aspect.
Perhaps the jewel in the crown is the complimentary leisure pass membership to The Salutation Hotel and Spa which is a cherished facility for many returning families.
