Nothing hit and miss about this place. Good menu, great food, good service, warm but would be so much better with a real fire. It's more of a lunchtime place than an evening which is a shame as the decor is more evening. Give it a whirl. Places like this should be kept going. more

From outside Sheila's Cottage looks very tempting. Good Menu, lovely quirky building. Unfortunatley when you step inside its a differeny story. The atmosphere was awful & the food not much better! I wouldn't go back. more

We found Sheila's Cottage to offer a decent level of food and service for a holiday destination. It is not world class or best out there, but very good in comparison to the other choices in Ambleside. The menu is pretty standard with a couple of their specialities.

Sheila's was a small little door down a side alley that opens up into a large and warm restaurant. They had a diverse range of options on the menu, catering for all prices. Generous portions that came accompanied by fresh steamed veges. A great way to refuel after walking. more

We went to sheila's cottage for dinner and though that the menu looked fab. The atmosphere was good and the staff was ok(bordeline friendly) #. We enjoyed our starter (goat cheese tart) and wine. The mains were slightly disappointing considering the price especially the duck with chorizo. It was a weird combination in a tomato sauce (probably just out of... more

We ate at Sheila's Cottage with our 4 year old daughter. It was okay - nothing special. The menu sounds mouthwatering but unfortunately we found the meal itself a bit of a let down. I had the chorizo and duck and my husband had the spaghetti - which was a bit stuck together (literally!) The vegetables were grand however! The... more
