“A lovely apartment next to amazing woodland and the lovely sounds of the waterfall.”

A gradual hill down into ambleside but close to amenities. The apartment was so comfy the settee and very comfy bed were most welcome after a day exploring. The only issues we really had were In the kitchen no kitchen scissors or measuring jug and one of the baking trays Dosnt fit in the oven. Also some of the pots had been left dirty eg mugs on mug tree and a really dirty wok. Other than that excellent stay.

“We love the location of the property and have stayed in another property on the Falls development in the past.”

Really handy to be close to amenities in Ambleside with young children and some great walks from your door. Sadly this property just wasn't kitted out particularly well and really let it down: -There were no hooks to hang coats. -No where to leave muddy boots (yet you're asked not to bring them inside - the next door property had a mat and basket available to them). -Oven gloves has holes in both hands. -No measuring jug, kitchen scales, kitchen scissors, and the biggest oven tray didn't fit the oven. -Massive wardrobes but no drawers so lived out of suitcases. A few cleanliness issues also: -bathroom fan covered in dust. -a few mugs not clean. -cafetière still had remaining coffee grinds in. -dried coffee stain on kitchen floor. Sofa and beds were nice and comfortable.

“Nice place to stay well equipped and comfortable beds.”

The only things that were really needed was some coat hooks. There was nothing to hang damp coats on apart from behind the bathroom door or in the wardrobes, really not ideal. Also in the double bedroom wardrobe it would have been helpful to have a couple of baskets or shelves to put non hanging clothes in. All in all nice place to stay and we would return.

“Stayed in this same flat 15 years ago for a hiking holiday and absolutely loved it, we just hoped it would have been a bit sooner when we returned.”

Lovely and well appointed with all kitchen requirements for cooking. Very cosy, lovely views of the ghyll from the lounge window. Ideal strolling distance into Ambleside with walks into the hills straight out of the door. Noticed a few light bulbs missing/not working, and the cooker/hob might be on a go-slow, but nothing to spoil the stay, we will definitely be back…just hope it’s not another 15 years!

“The cottage was great and in a great location for the town.”

My only comment is could you make the carparking numbers more obvious and put a sign in to say parking only for that flat. We got there and someone had parked in our spot as they hadn't seen the number. This was made worse by someone parking in their spot as the couldnt find theirs.

“We had a brilliant week staying here.”

The only criticism I would say is the hoover needs to be changed. I only used it once and it made the flat smell like wet dog. Otherwise we had a brilliant time.

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.

This property offers the following short breaks:
