“Everything was fab!”

The only thing nobody can control was the only disappointment - rain!! The cottage location was great we had lots of walls. Good food and trips out too we found time to just chill and relax in all we are booking to go back very soon!!

“House was extremely dirty on arrival.”

Think of black dust and dog hair on all painted surfaces. Infested with flies. Thick cobwebs full of dead flies abs spiders in conservatory. Even after a second clean the bathroom was still think of dust as was the bed frames . Company quiet clearly not following covid cleaning guidelines. Front & back gardens over grown & neglected, couldn’t sit out. DO NOT RECOMMEND

“The facilities where as expected and we had a brilliant holiday due to location and weather however the cleanliness was terrible when we walked in, it looked like a quick clean had been done however a deep clean was needed as there was lots of dust on skirting boards, on ornaments and on stair rail.”

also the bedding could do with being updated to new. The other issue was flies, wasps and hornets entering the house through the conservatory a very worrying thing when we have a 7 month old! by the end of the week we had well over a hundred dead flies and hornets dead on the conservatory floor. i assume the issue is due to the brooke and surrounding hills however it could be easily fixed with a fly catcher in the conservatory or fly spray available to use.

“We have used heart of the lakes on a number of occasions, the cleanliness of the properties on arrival is disappointing, with extra cleaning time for Covid conditions, we arrived to dusty cabinets, hair on the stairs and and bathroom.”

Curtain linings hanging off the poles, the house was lovely and we enjoyed our stay but it is disappointing to arrive and to have to clean before we started our holiday. This is not the first time this has happened, the heart of the lakes cleaning team needs to take more pride in the work and have more attention to detail.

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.

Note: Fuel for the woodburning stove can be purchased locally. Note: Dogs are not allowed in bedrooms. Note: Steps to entrance, please take care.
