“The apartment is well situated and the rooms are in general fairly spacious and although the kitchen is not big, it is a sufficient size and well appointed with deecent quality equipment.”

The apartment is also clean overall but although pets are not allowed it is noted that the owner takes his/hers which is evident from the white animal hairs found in the carpet near to and on the sofas....it is appreciated these may be difficult to remove and a deep clean may be reqiured for this. Aprt from that we would use the apartment again.

“Comfortable cottage in a good location for exploring the Lake District.”

Spacious entrance hall to change out of walking gear at the end of the day was useful. You can hear people walking about in the overhead apartment which got annoying at times. We had an enjoyable week away and the cottage was warm and cosy to return to after days out.

“We had a great week despite the weather!”

! We loved the entrance to the apartment where we could comfortably take off wet coats and footwear! The little stool was particularly useful! We were rather sad the weather was never good enough to sit on the balcony!!!

Thank you for your positive feedback and we look forward to welcoming you to Ghyll View in the future. Property Owner

“Overall the Cottage was what we expected, we've had two other properties on the Falls.”

The one thing we were not happy about was the extractor fan in the on suite bathroom. At first we didn't know what was causing the reverberations in the lounge wall. We thought it was an adjoining property. But being a property maintenance engineer, I tracked it down to the extractor fan. (It could be the bearings are gone). Also the over run was at least 20/30 mins long, which if you use the toilet during the night it kept you awake until it went off! Because of the noise we stopped putting the light on at night, which in itself wasn't very safe. Another Idea, why not put the extractor fan on a separate pull cord? Or put a small mirror light that doesn't run off the same circuit. This problem needs to be addressed, as I'm sure other tenants has reported the same problem. We will not book this property again!

Please accept our sincere apologies for the issues you had with the extractor fan. Unfortunately, due to lockdown and the apartment being out of use we were not able to carry out maintenance and the issue had not been reported to us before yourself. I can assure you that had you reported this to Heart of the Lakes during your stay, a member of the team would have come to fix the problem. It has now been resolved and we are undergoing some refurbishment at Ghyll View during the beginning of the year. Property Owner

“The accommodation is ideally set for exploring Ambleside and the greater Lakes area and it was lovely hearing the stream nearby, however it's not the easiest to find once you're in the development (which is set beyond some residential properties) so a map of the development would help and although a short walk to town, it is via very steep hills, so not ideal for elderly, frail or those with mobility issues.”

Luckily we're a family with youngish children so it was fine but with the only toilets downstairs (it's upside down accommodation), steep hills to/from town, and a steep climb to unit from car and steps, it should be listed as limited to those with good mobility. The balcony could only realistically comfortably fit two children or one adult, which was disappointing when the accommodation is available for six people, which there was in our party. The balcony, entrance steps and balcony had not been cleaned in ages, there were visible cobwebs along curtain railings etc and the en-suite bathroom although large and modern, needed a refresh in the shower. Otherwise it was generally comfortable, clean and light accommodation with a spacious lounge, it was just the attention to detail cleaning which was lacking, which was surprising in current circumstances. However, good facilities, space and lovely location.

“The accommodation was clean and tidy the only disappointment was that it obvious that the light bulbs aren’t checked, there was five not working in the living room and one in the master bedroom, not sure about the other rooms.”

When I looked at them they were thick with dust and cobwebs so haven’t been checked in a long time.

“Lovely stay in a spacious property which included all needed facilities.”

Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms and living area had lots of room. Oven was problematic as the shelves do not fit properly and therefore cannot be easily moved about. Cleanliness was acceptable but did not feel as though a deep clean had taken place whilst shut down (carpets in need of a deep clean, cobwebs in kitchen). Ideally located for walks both from the doorstep and slightly further afield. Parking, although providing two end to end spaces, was very narrow.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

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.
