“We had a lovely stay in this property.”

It was ideally located near to the town, with plenty of space for us to relax, nicely decorated with all the mod cons that you would want, as well as comfortable beds. Great off road parking, and an enclosed garden. The water pressure was such that only one person call shower at time (there are 2 showers on the property). We enjoyed the stay so much we have booked again next year

“We had a lovely stay at Mardale.”

Would love to know if you let out (own) property above and adjoining for a larger family holiday next year?

“A beautiful property in our favourite location.”

Excellent facilities, everything we needed and much more. Excellent private parking. Could not have wished for anything more. Thank you again for a fabulous stay in Ambleside.

“Company not the same now not a family city-owned by Sykes now.”

The property was v good. However the hot water cold and there was no instructions to change it and no easy overidge. The heating was difficult but a bit easier to change. There should be easy instructions to do this. There is damp in the dining area. Also with no sound proofing the property above make it noisy at times. It's in a great location and overall a nice property.

“We've been visiting Mardale several times a year for over 20 years and look at it as a home from home with many happy family reunions.”

We had a couple of equipment issues, but HOTL were very quick to respond although one issue couldn’t be remedied during our stay as it required a part to be ordered. Unfortunately however it’s just getting so expensive now and we are uncomfortable with Sykes’s policy of dynamic pricing where the amount you pay varies up or down according to demand, so this may affect whether we’ll be returning. However, a big thank you to the owners Paul and Cathy, who have always been welcoming and friendly and have provided a superb base for our family holidays in the Lakes.

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: Although this property is all-ground-floor, there are a couple of steps down into the hallway
