    “This was a nice, comfortable apartment for the week - small but just enough for two of us and our baby.”

    Perfect location by the two best pubs in town. It was clean and the kitchen was well-equipped, and it being in Ambleside it was very handy having a parking space. Nice collection of book, DVDs, CDs, and games to pass time on drizzly day. The bed was big and comfy although I don't think it's far off needing a new mattress. There were just a few points for us that took away from some of the comfort of the property. Whilst storage for clothes is great, it's difficult having nowhere to put coats ...

    Perfect location by the two best pubs in town. It was clean and the kitchen was well-equipped, and it being in Ambleside it was very handy having a parking space. Nice collection of book, DVDs, CDs, and games to pass time on drizzly day. The bed was big and comfy although I don't think it's far off needing a new mattress. There were just a few points for us that took away from some of the comfort of the property. Whilst storage for clothes is great, it's difficult having nowhere to put coats and shoes. There is the communal cupboard outside the apartment - great in theory but not particularly practical in reality. Just putting coat hooks on the wall by the front door would make a world of difference. Also, because the property is carpeted it can get quite mucky quite quickly - particularly in wet weather. It would be good to put a mat by the front door, a built in one would be great but even just a small one to wipe muddy shoes on would make a lot of difference to the amount of dirt that appears on the carpet. Some soap in the bathroom would have also been a nice addition. The shower bracket was very loose and rickety, almost dangerously so. I noticed that this has been addressed in previous reviews for quite some time so it's a shame this hasn't been addressed. There was some mildew in the bathroom, unavoidable in these kinds of properties but it wouldn't hurt to give it a regular clean. There was also some dust and cobwebs in nooks and crannies, so perhaps more frequent, deeper cleans would be beneficial. Lastly, the WiFi was incredibly slow even for this part of the world. There's almost no point having a Smart TV if the WiFi isn't fast enough to stream anything! We would definitely consider staying here again in the future if some of the above things are addressed. Overall we did have a nice stay.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Please note zip & link bed is made as a super king should you wish to be a twin please call the call centre to arrange.
