Marc and Sarah are wonderful hosts and their little dog Ted is a real cutie.
On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with our cream teas and milk, orange juice and water in the fridge. The location of the shepherds hut is beautiful and peaceful and you really do feel like you are getting away from it all. It is also ideally situated near to some very scenic views, in particular the small walk to the Coombe Cellars restaurant and pub offers beautiful views along the river Teign. During our stay we were mostly blessed with ok weather but one day we did have a downpour. This was the most challenging day for us as Iâm a fairly big guy and struggled with having to stay in the hut during the evening. If I could offer one small suggestion for improvement it would be perhaps an awning or a small area that the outside seats could be put under so they could be kept dry and we could have still sat outside during the downpour. As it was we had to open the doors of the shepherds hut which attracted the insect wildlife. This really was a minor thing though and we certainly cannot blame Marc and Sarah for the British Summer. Overall we loved our stay here and we feel like weâve had a great, relaxing holiday. Thanks Marc and Sarah, you have done a wonderful job with the shepherds hut and thought of pretty much everything that people would need in their stay.

The Lodge is located right in front of one of the fishing ponds which give a stunning view of the blue waters when sat on the porch.
There was amble parking for more than one car with an area around the lodge for pets to run when letting out before locking up for the night. Although pets remain on lead in most areas there was a field area at the back to let pets roam wider within a short walk. As for the Lodge itself it was spacious with all the basics needed to self-cater. Microwave, oven, kettle, washing machine/dryer and fridge/freezer all included with the utensils (plates, knifes/fork/spoons, glasses/cups etc). For myself it was great that there was no WIFI and limited phone/data signal as the intention was to get away from the technical day to day noise. A gas fire worked well and provided the night-time relaxing lighting with a TV giving Freeview digital channels. The Lodge was warm, clean, and well-presented throughout and would happily go back in the future. The Lodge was within driving distance of several local viewpoints which allowed travel around the whole area. The owners were very friendly and were on hand if there were any issues (not that we had any). It was a real pleasure for the week and just what we needed to get away and have already recommended to friends and will be looking to go back in the future.

On arrival it was clear that the lodge was not adequately cleaned, dog hair behind doors, mouldy potato in kitchen cupboard, cobwebs, dirty cupboards, rubbish left in a bathroom bin, stain on sofa.
No battery in kitchen clock Broken information frame left on kitchen window sill Used candles left near hot tub Used empty olbas bottle left in sauna Plastic glasses for outside use for only 2 people not 6 Wrong WiFi code displayed Not all jets worked in hot tub No heating or hot water in lodge upon arrival , when maintenance sorted the boiler pressure there was still no hot water in bath, pointless having a bath if it canât be used . ( i have taken photos as evidence) Housekeeping notified Maintenance notified Our time was wasted by trying to sort out above matters when we were only there for 3 nights , Very disappointed with our stay, glad to be home in a clean environment⦠It would appear that regular checks are not made in this lodge to check standards such as a clock battery, cleanliness, hot tub functioning etc, Little things can make all the difference in a weekend break, we would have loved to return regularly as we live only one hour away and itâs located in a great place. Itâs just so disappointing for us.

Lodge was disgusting filthy, old food behind micro wave and generally dirty and cobwebs throughout the lodge.
Under sofa hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Downstairs shower room looks new but dirt cobwebs between show glass and tiles plus something on floor behind toilet. Worst of all was the front upstairs bedroom! Floor was filthy under beds. One single bed mattress was the most uncomfortable and worn mattress I've ever seen, but it was the smell that got me. In the end I took the duvet cover off to find old blood and other stains all over it. I would give that duvet to anyone absolutely disgusting. Broken chair on rear bedroom balcony, and coffee table legs broken in lounge. Light bulbs flickering and some not working. Rear upstairs bedroom wardrobe inners absolutely filthy and boiler heat shield guard missing (looks dangerous) general condition of lodge inside very tired and not as oer pictures. What looked like blood marks on duvet cover and wall in rear bedroom and on the wall. For me the duvet was a healthy hazard, general cleaners is one thing but that was utterly disgusting.

Ambleside is a beautiful property and we really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you so much and we wish you well with your venture. We've stayed in quite a number of self-catering cottages and there is normally something that we're not quite happy with, but Ambleside and Colebrook Fisheries and Lodges were perfect. The view, the comfort, your hospitality - everything. The beds were more comfortable than ours at home and the showers more powerful and we were really impressed with how clean the property was and how many places we had to store belongings. Despite its size the cabin didn't feel small at all. If we're being really demanding, then a welcome hamper with a few provisions would have been handy (there was tea, coffee and sugar but no milk or butter) - but as you're only a short 5 minute drive to supermarkets it wasn't too much of a hardship to buy. A couple of games or jigsaws would have been ideal on the rainy day to keep the girls off their tablets but we enjoyed just admiring the view - even in the rain.
