“A nice property in a quite area with mostly everything you need.”

A little airer to put over the bath would be really useful as there is nowhere to hang dripping waterproofs to dry. The description does not mention a dishwasher & it would be a positive to know there was one I think.

“Lovely, clean property in a great location.”

The only downside really was the comfort of the bed which we found quite hard, although easily rectified with the duvets from the twin room. Thank you for a lovely stay and the very rapid response in fixing the low batteries in the smoke alarms.

“We had a fabulous stay at Babbling brook cottage, great location and everything we needed was either provided or easy to get from Ambleside centre which was a 5 minute walk away.”

“Overall we had a lovely stay, but the property could have been cleaner.”

The cleaners did come back to finish the job, but still didn't clean the dirt off the shower hose or empty the vacuum cleaner, which was full of dog hair, before using it and left the flat smelling like a wet dog. Lovely flat, just needs a proper deep clean.

“Great cottage in lovely location - the hill from town keeps you fit!”

Warm and cosy to come back to after wet walks! Would suggest drawer unit in main bedroom would be better use of space than armchair. Also just to note washing machine is not a washer/dryer! We would stay again - having back door on the kitchen was really useful with the dogs.

“Only difficulty I had was there was no area to let the dogs out to so I ended up walking them 4 times a day having said that we loved it.”

“We had a great stay at Babbling Brook, the cottage was very comfotable and being so close to all amenities was great.”

There are just a couple of points I would lie to highlight please bear in mind that I have a holiday cottage that I rent. It states that there is a washer / drier and infact there is only a washing machine making drying clothes difficult. There were no cleaning products left, I understand how hard it is to turn the property around on changeover day and leaving basic cleaning products would encourage people to tidy up, I couldn't even clean the bath. There was a mop bucket but no mop, luckily the weather was superb but had it been wet I would have cleaned the floor as we had a dog. However these are just a few niggles and would not stop me staying agan.

The property

A well appointed ground floor apartment with a delightful holiday feel in the ever popular residential area of 'The Falls' just on the outskirts of Ambleside and yet within easy walking distance of the village centre. The property takes it name from the waters of Stock Ghyll which bound 'The Falls' tumbling down the valley on their way to Lake Windermere. The location offers many opportunities for walking in glorious scenery together with a varied choice of pubs, shops and restaurants, just down the hill. Babbling Brook is an ideal property for a family holiday, there are plenty of activities close-by for children of varying ages such as mini-golf, tennis, cycling, watersports and a good cinema. Accommodation: The property is on one level, there is only one step at the front door and a shallow step at the back. Front door into inner hallway with useful cloak cupboard, then leads into the comfortable sitting/dining room (flat screen TV with Freeview, DVD) with attractive bay window. Newly fitted kitchen June 2019 has door to outside and onto the small patio. There are two bedrooms, one bedroom with useful built-in wardrobes and king-size bed and one twin room with 2' 6" single beds. Fully tiled family bathroom (bath with shower over, basin and wc) completed with heated flooring. Hardwood flooring throughout, with rugs in the bedrooms and gas central heating and hot water. Outside: Small patio area outside the kitchen door with bistro style table and chairs. Private parking for one car in a named space. NOTE; Sorry no room for a cot

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.
