    The shower tray in the bathroom had black mould all round the edges and there were hairs on the actual tray and the toilet seat didn't fit properly. It is a shame because if these problems were addressed it is in the perfect location and would be a really nice property but I am unable to recommend and would not use again.

    We were over the moon with our stay, the location was perfect, only a 5 minute walk into ambleside. The facilities were great, lovely shower and comfortable bed for days when when had done a lot of walking. A lot of great walks and hikes nearby too! Great base for seeing the Lake District!

    It’s a decent size and the kitchen has everything you would need including a washing machine.Its sadly on the main road in and out of Ambleside so you do hear traffic noise,it’s dog friendly but nowhere for dogs to actually walk / play unless you go to the park 5 minutes away…not ideal when your dog needs to go to the loo several times a day. The owners live above the apartment and this we found to be a bit of an issue as the noise was constant,you can hear people walking about and every single creek of the floorboards. Parking is also a bit of a challenge on a very steep driveway but thankfully the owners only had one car on the driveway.
