Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness scores moderately, with several guests noting issues such as dust, cobwebs, and stained linens. However, others found the property to be well-presented, suggesting inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly rated due to its proximity to Ambleside, the lake, and walking routes. Guests consistently praise the views and the ease of access to local attractions.
Comfort receives a good score, with guests finding the property cosy and the furnishings comfortable. Some guests mentioned dated decor and the need for updates, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities and maintenance have room for improvement. Guests reported issues with appliances, heating, and bathroom fixtures. Positive comments about the well-equipped kitchen and garden balance the score.

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.

Christopher
It is close to Ambleside with all its amenities but you feel as though you are in the countryside. Comfortable lounge/dining area. Main heating is storage radiators, which are not as flexible to manage when the weather is changeable. Plenty of crockery but could do with a some more glasses. There are few minor things where repair/upgrade would be beneficial.

The apartment is warm and cosy and has almost everything we need. This time we noticed new carpet, a footstool and cushions in the lounge and new flooring in the en-suite cloakroom.

The ground floor had a lovely view of the lake and fells. Short walk into Ambleside village and ferry. Nice spacious living space with open plan kitchen. Kitchen was well equipped with large oven and good size fridge freezer, plenty of crockery and utensils, dish washer and washer dryer. Bad points In the bedroom was a large cobweb. It covered the ceiling light and extended to the corners of the room. Paint work through out the property covered in dust. Large stain on the carpet in the hall, water stain mark on the hall ceiling. Black mould on the bathroom ceiling and around the window. Over head shower over bath. Bath quite high so would be a problem if you had mobility issues. Could hear noise from apartment above. Worse to come. On stripping the bed when leaving, found that the bottom sheet had old mildew stains on it. This property would be worth the money if spruced up in areas and more care taken with the cleaning.
