“Booked this accomdation before covid hike in prices.”
So for what we paid for a family of 3 just over £800 for week I thought this would of been 5 star accomdation at that price. I have marked this as 4* think tad over priced and we have been visiting this location for 25 years +.
Postives - location for us was perfect we only used the car once. The accomodation was right size, had everything need for self catering holiday. Included a bbq which was a bonus. Kitchen was well equipt having decent washer was a bonus. Lovely enclosed yard to sit in warm summer nights. The private garden was lovely across the road. We rang before we left and confirmed we needed oven gloves and teatowels, on arrival this house had everything. Even had arrival pack which had some washing up liquid, dishwater tablets etc.
Negative which makes it 4* - the road next to the house was really busy, we learnt that ferry was closed at Windermere which increased traffic through Ambleside. The road noise started at 7 and was load til 9pm. This also made it hard to cross the road to the path which was on otherside to walk into town and access the garden. Cars flying past at 60 mph was scary. We had 2 parking bays, first few days people trying park outside our property and blocked entrance to house, this was a little annoying. Inside house, bathroom was very tired it had modern equipment but needed tlc.
Overall lovely house in perfect location for walking holiday. With the further covid hike in prices for next year and the noise of the road we will be looking elsewhere for our Lakes escape.
