Guests say
Rolton House is praised for its excellent location in Ambleside, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local hikes. While the property offers spacious rooms and convenient parking, guests have noted issues with maintenance, particularly with the bath tap and freezer. Traffic noise has been mentioned, but it's not a concern for all guests.
Guests have reported smelly settees, marks and cobwebs on walls, and stains on carpets, indicating a need for better cleanliness standards.
The property is well-placed for visiting the Lake District, with proximity to amenities and natural attractions, despite some traffic noise.
The property offers spacious rooms and is generally considered comfortable, though the presence of traffic noise and a broken bath tap have affected the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities are adequate with good Wi-Fi and parking space, but recurring issues with the bath tap and freezer, as well as suggestions for secondary glazing and new toilet roll holders, indicate room for improvement in maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.

Lovely home, very close to all of the amenities and restaurants in Ambleside. The Spar next door is super handy and convenient. There are many amazing hikes within walking distance of the home, and lake Windemere is a short walk. We definitely recommend this home.
