Excellent accommodation in a great spot
This was our first stay at High White Stones and we certainly weren't disappointed. The facilities at the cottage are excellent, the décor very smart (and to our own taste!) with all that you need provided, including plenty of reading material and large scale OS maps covering most of the Lake District which came in very handy!
We found the location perfect - only 2 mins walk to the town, but still felt secluded and private. There is a more foot traffic than vehicular traffic past the cottage, probably due to the narrowness of the road! We luckily managed to find a parking space every day we were there, just around the corner where the lane widened slightly - but the owners have very thoughtfully provided a parking permit for the main car park if required. It is only 5 mins walk away, and the permit can be used in many other car parks around the area, including Windermere, Grasmere etc (but not in NT car parks unfortunately!) Just remember to check and use it, as I forked out £7 un-necessarily in Grasmere before realising later that evening!
When it comes to dining, there is a guest comments book with plenty of recommendations. Personally we loved the Mexican Tapas 'Es Bar' for evening meals (which didn't seem to get a mention in the book...? Maybe fairly new?) and Sheila's was a good find on our last night. Didn't get chance to try Lucy's on a Plate but looked very good also. For breakfast - Copper Pot, Apple Pie Café, and Daisy's are all good choices.
We have visited the Lakes a few times in the past, but found Ambleside to be an excellent base for many activities due to it's central location.
Would definitely use this accommodation again, and judging by the guest book, it seems to get many repeat customers!
