Guests say
Kelsick Heights is a well-furnished, spacious property with a central location in Ambleside, offering easy access to local amenities and the Lake District. Guests appreciate the clean, tidy environment and the well-equipped kitchen. The property's location, while convenient, does bring some noise from the street and nearby pubs, particularly at night. Parking is available, though it can be tight. Some guests noted issues with maintenance and the need for better windows to mitigate noise.
Cleanliness
The property is generally found to be very clean and tidy, with only a few isolated comments suggesting that cleaning could be more thorough in some instances, such as an unemptied dishwasher and items found under cushions.
Location
The central location is highly praised for its convenience and proximity to local shops and attractions. However, the central position also contributes to noise issues, which has affected the sleep quality of some guests.
Comfort
The property is described as spacious and well furnished, with a jacuzzi bath and comfortable living spaces. However, some guests have reported uncomfortable beds in the twin room and issues with temperature control in the showers.
Facilities
The property is well-equipped with a modern kitchen and good Wi-Fi. However, there are several reports of maintenance issues such as broken blinds, a leaking tap, and inadequate windows for noise insulation, which suggest room for improvement.
