Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is frequently described as spotless and very well maintained, indicating a high level of cleanliness. A few isolated comments about tired bed linen and towels suggest minor room for improvement.
The location is consistently lauded for its convenience to the town and proximity to local walks, with beautiful views and a peaceful setting highly appreciated by guests.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of a super comfy bed and a relaxing environment. A comment about low sofas for taller guests indicates a slight variance in comfort preferences.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and high-quality furnishings. However, there are concerns about maintenance issues such as a non-working drier and inadequate bathroom amenities for the number of guests.
The welcome bottle of fizz and the prompt response to a bedding request reflect a thoughtful approach by the hosts. However, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property
Located just a few minutes walk to the heart of Ambleside with spectacular views across the Lakeland fells from every room.
Larna Place is a superb, contemporary residence.
Step into a spacious hallway where outdoor gear can be stored. A bright open plan living space cleverly incorporates a comfortable lounge area, well equipped kitchen and delightful dining table. Pretty French doors lead out onto a spacious patio, perfect for enjoying an evening drink with friends. Head upstairs to the first floor for two bedrooms; a master bedroom with charming Juliet balcony and super king size bed alongside a comfortable second bedroom that can be presented as a king or twin bedroom. The bedrooms feature Smart TVs and are complemented by a large family bathroom. Outside the property benefits from an electric charging point and parking for two cars. Set in pretty grounds with a large furnished patio. The owners politely advise that children under eight are not accepted at this property due to a pond in the grounds.
From your front door, a gentle stroll brings you to the centre of Ambleside. A friendly town bustling with outdoor equipment shops, charming cafes and a great selection of restaurants. Don’t forget to visit the charming 17th century Bridge House and enjoy exploring the area by boat with a cruise on Lake Windermere. From Ambleside, families will enjoy a gentle ramble to nearby Rydal Water and a chance to explore the famous Rydal caves. Neighbouring Grasmere and Windermere can easily be reached by bus or car.
Larna Place provides smart modern accommodation in an enviable location in the heart of the Lake District.
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.

Very, very high quality, well equipped and spotlessly clean. It's also in an ideal location. We thoroughly recommend it and hope to return. I do want to say that I was not that impressed by Lakelovers. I have used them in the past and they were excellent but not this time. Twice I would have liked to speak to a person but couldn't. Also the recorded message said they were not open on a Saturday anymore, which is not ideal for a holiday letting company. I have had better experiences with other companies.
