“Lovely house in excellent quiet position.”

Exceptional decor and very well equipped. Sofas low and uncomfortable….when we removed the back cushions we found lots of dust so cleaning could be more thorough. Unable to use the vacuum as full of debris…..obviously an issue re emptying? Heating far too hot in upstairs master bedroom and heating controls too complicated to rectify this.

“Very attractive and well equipped property.”

Garden needs a tidy up but otherwise a great stay in a wonderful location. Pool table saw a full family tournament played.

“Lovely property, in a fantastic location and with convenient parking place for a large car.”

Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We will definitely come back again!

“The property was very well equipped and presented.”

Kitchen had everything you would need. Especially liked the picnic bag and flask, very thoughtful. Only criticism is the outside areas. Nothing down stairs for dogs to go out so always have to go through lounge. Gardens themselves in a very poor state. Not inviting at all. Also dog poo from previous guests still there. Mind you difficult to clean up after your dog when garden so overgrown. Would love to go back but would hope garden areas sorted Thank you

“We have stayed at No 7 in Ambleside twice now and it doesn’t disappoint.”

It is spacious, great choice of restaurants nearby and, has lovely dog walks. We will however be choosing another property through you just because our dog has bad elbows and the kitchen is downstairs.

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

The property was in an ideal location. It was clean , had all electrical equipment needed and generally well equipped . Little things such as only 3 wine glasses and not enough serving or oven plates could easily be overcome .The. garden does need maintained and I understand the owners are looking at this. We hadn’t realised the cot would be a travelling cot (which wasn’t available as requested when we got there). We would use the property again thank you .

“Great holiday home in a great location.”

The heating system could do with instructions on how to operate as it was far too hot through the night. There were only 4 wine glasses for a property that slept 7 so a few more would be handy and I always seem to have to fill the dishwasher up with either rinse aid or salt wherever I stay. I don't mind bringing the wash tabs but I think if it is there to use then it would be nice for it to topped up during the cleaning of the property. Nothing major really, just the odd niggle, as the rest of the property was excellent. We had a fantastic holiday and would stay at No 7 again. The location was great. 2 minutes to the lake and 10 minutes to town. Also well situated for catching the bus or the ferry.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No7 and have no hesitation in recommending highly.”

Particularly liked how practical everything was like the generous entry hall which works really well when you have 5 adults and 2 tiny humans going in and out. The house's underfloor heating was superb, the layout was great and the rooms well proportioned. Then the nice small touches like the Bose portable speaker and the Netflix account access in all rooms. Our kids also liked the pool room and although we have no pets had endless fun in the dog kennels under the stairs which were repurposed into top notch dens ! We also loved the location which was so handy for our lake cruise and exploring in general. All in all a really relaxing home from home where everthing had been well thought out making for an effortless stay. Would happily stay there again.

“Six humans and two dogs stayed for a week in February and we all cannot sing the praises of this house enough.”

From it’s prime location and the absolutely beautiful interior to having a pool table in the garage which was a constant source of entertainment - this place was a fab base for a week away. On the practical side of things, the house is equipped with a very warm airing cupboard with plenty of hanging/drying space, loads of storage space for boots/coats as well as two electric boot dryers which were a godsend as we had classic British weather. Also having a washing machine and dryer was great - we were able to get out every day regardless of the weather because of these small amenities. We cannot recommend this house enough and we’re already planning on when we can come back and stay again,

“Stunning home in a brilliant location.”

We had such a nice time. We struggled to open the key safe on arrival and on departure it just wouldn’t open so I hid the key under the mat and called the central call centre to advise. Felt bad letting the dog in and out of the garden from a carpeted lounge but we kept wiping him as best we could and hopefully managed to pick up any poo in the garden. We couldn’t fathom the heating out so had to call the centre and a guy came out and switched it on for us. Master bed was very comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped. Dishwasher was flashing to replace rinse aid and salt which I doubt any guests would have taken - so the owners need to get that done. Lovely touches with the blankets, cool bag, picnic rug etc. make sure those are listed on the listing as I took all my own

“The house, layout, decor and location was excellent and just as described.”

We would definitely recommend No7 to our friends. I have a couple of small issues I'd like to make you aware of: - the soap dispensers in the bathroom and ensuite were empty, despite there being soap in a large container in the garage, I ended up refilling them myself. - the washing up liquid supplied in the visitor box was tiny and only enough for 3 washes - the main bedroom and linked en-suite on the 1st was too hot overnight, we ended up moving to the double bedroom on the ground floor. I noticed a number of previous guests had commented on this and it hadn't been addressed. Although there is a heating control this was complicated and the instructions in the visitor pack were hard to follow.

“Beautiful property, thank you for letting us have the pleasure of staying there.”

Lovely location, two minutes walk from Lakeside, absolutely stunning.

“Beautiful house, warm and comfortable in a great location.”

We enjoyed the additional pool table. Thank you

- Jill, October 2021
Leslie October 2021

“Excellent facilities and location and I would definitely consider another stay at the property.”

Only slight negatives - dishwasher hadn't been emptied and the pots in the drawer were not too clean with what appeared to be greasy finger marks on the lids and handles. Surprising,as there was justifiably a clear message to be extra vigilant concerning Covid.

- Leslie, October 2021
Kate September 2021

“The house is very comfortable and spotless with a high standard of everything throughout.”

Quiet location but easy walk into town. Pub and lake one minute walk. The pictures don't do it justice. Only thing would be good to have another key on a fob.

- Kate, September 2021

“This is a beautifully presented house, ideally situated and very comfortable.”

It is a semi 'upside down' house with one of the bedrooms downstairs and the sitting room on the first floor to take advantage of the garden. However, I didn't give it full marks for accuracy of listing for two reasons: a) Although it is listed as dog friendly, the only access to the enclosed garden is either through the carpeted lounge or via the outside staircase. We were lucky - we had a dry week - there would have been issues had the week been wet! b) the garden is beautiful but steeply tiered with the sitting area at the top of the slope to take advantage of the views, so it's a bit of a hike from the kitchen (downstairs), up the steps or up the stairs and through the lounge and then up the slope to take advantage of them! If there are young children in the party - we had a five-year-old and a toddler of 20 months - this could be problematic. Having said all that, it is a lovely house, but I think best suited to a group of adults rather than a family with young children and/or dogs!

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.

Please note the zip & link bed is made up as a twin should you wish this to be a super king please call the call centre to arrange.
