One of the best locations for an apartment in the Lakes!To be so close to the lake and boat jetty in Ambleside was amazing, and bus stops just across the road means other destinations are easily reachable.If you’re into people watching and stunning views then this is the place to stay.As previous holiday makers have said the flat itself could do with a bit of sprucing up decoration wise but the facilities are excellent.Shops are just a short walk into Ambleside itself so very convenient.Cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough.

Property well situated on the lake side , excellent views from property window .Kitchen very well equipped and clean However we both felt property inside was very tired looking and could do with some modernisation to bathrooms , showers etc .Carpets need a good clean and freshen up Few more fans would be appreciated as we visited in a very hot week recently , extremely difficult as windows only small openings Lots of noise throughout our visit from renovations to adjoining apartment which we found very disturbing and inconvenient at times .
