Great location but accommodation now looking tired and in need of re-decorating. Kitchen lacking in some basics. Bed reasonably comfortable but on the small side. Nice bathroom but ceiling showing lots of damp patches and needs painting.Overall an adequate stay but wouldn’t take much to make it better.

Enjoyed our week here after some confusion gaining entry. The key safe is around the back of the building unmarked. Yes we were told this in a confirmation email when we first booked. I had forgotten about this as I had downloaded the app and was using that. No mention of the key safe location in the app. Anyway sorted and we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is adequate for 2 people. A little dated maybe but comfortable and very convenient for the centre of Ambleside. Parking right outside the front door. We would stay again, we thought the cost very reasonable for The Lakes in September.
