“Romney 17 is a lovely property, well situated with a superb view”

- Chris, April 2022
Rebecca April 2022

“We loved the amazing view from this property, it made the holiday very special to be able to look directly over the lake.”

The apartment was generally well-equipped and comfortable and our children appreciated the games and toys. It was useful to have the guides and walking books which we made use of. We would definitely stay here again, the location was perfect for us..

“Everything was very good except for the suite which has lost all its strength and there was no support when sitting on it.”

It needs to be replaced.

- Robin, March 2022

The comfort of sofas, chairs etc is very personal. The sofa was chosen to offer “moderate” support. The foam cushions maintain their support far better than feather cushions. The furniture is checked regularly for wear and tear and will be replaced in due course. Property Owner

“The property is spacious and comfortable and nicely furnished.”

However we did think that the kitchen could be better equipped especially for a 4 star property. For example there were 3 cheese graters (why would you need 3) and no small side plates and only 3 saucepans. We have stayed in other properties in this complex and they were much better equipped.

- Paul, February 2022

I find this comment surprising as there were 8 side plates when we last checked (Nov 2021.) There were several pans, frying pans plus microwave proof dishes: plenty to cook a meal for 4. We always endeavour to rectify any specific omissions in kitchen equipment Property Owner

“The apartment was very clean and well equipped providing every thing we needed for our stay.”

The apartment feels very spacious as rooms are all a good size and thevWiFi is excellent . The views across the lake were amazing and as we like to walk the trek in to town was not a problem. I am afraid I did not find the king size bed very comfortable but that may be personal choice. My only issue was the TV in the living room which needs to be replaced with a smart tv as not only is it quite small for the size of the room the ability to access netflix etc would have been good.

“A beautiful and well positioned apartment - better than expected.”

The apartment was extremely spacious and well equipped. The view from the living/dining area was stunning - even on the rainiest days! Local amenities were on the doorstep as well, which was very handy. Overall a great stay - thank you.

Berni October 2021

“Lovely apartment, very comfortable, wonderful views.”

Has a few minor lapses in attention to detail.

- Berni, October 2021
Gillian July 2021

“Well appointed apartment in excellent location.”

Living/dining area very comfortable and kitchen very well stocked. Sadly the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I have ever attempted to sleep in . Would definitely benefit from a new mattress!

- Gillian, July 2021
Julia June 2021

“Loved our stay at Romney 17.”

The apartment was fantastic - very spacious, had everything we needed (kitchen very well stocked with equipment) and the view was outstanding. Easy walk to Ambleside too. Can't wait to return.

- Julia, June 2021
Chris June 2021

“Office was unmanned upon arrival as someone had gone to get her lunch.”

Were given the wrong keys despite asking if they were correct ones ! The apartment is very nice and very well equipped, but you can hear your neighbours clearly and it is primarily a residential complex with a few holiday lettings.

- Chris, June 2021
Zoe May 2021

“Slight issue with key collection (given wrong set) - ok as during day but would have been a problem out of hours.”

Apartment was great

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.
