Mr Hans
October 2021

“Some damp in the double bedroom, damp smell in the double, but considering the heavy rain and the location among the trees perhaps understandable.”

Well equipped, decent amount of space but a couple of details which could be easily fixed which would improve things - the sofas have seen better days and not that comfy but new ones are apparently on order, the hot tap for the handbasin in the bathroom only serves up a trickle of water (sticking washer?), and the bathroom could do with a brighter light or one over the mirror so you can see yourself shave. Overall it was clean tidy and comfortable and good value for the area.

“Kitchen items were not clean.”

Leaving the previous occupant to take care of cleaning all kitchen equipment may not be reliable. Some fo the dirty items were in the storage box on the worktop so there is no excuse for those being missed. The large plates and some small ones need replacing. They are chipped and scratched and therefore not hygienic. Sofas are uncomfortable. Apart from that the house was lovely and the location fantastic

“It was more or less ok but not good value for money given the high price, especially since the cottage was a bit damp/musty and full of moths - in need of a refurb!”

We were also disappointed that the swimming pool and games room was shut for the entire duration of our stay. Good location though and the cottage was well equipped with kitchen equipment and games/books/maps etc

“The apartment was absolutely perfect for us ( family of 3) , was clean and homely and had everything we could possibly need for our stay - there’s even deckchairs under the bed should you need them for a day trip .”

Our first day there, a red squirrel scampered down the tree outside - the location is fantastic both in terms of the site itself , and proximity for walks . We enjoyed everything about our stay .

“10 Wordsworth apartment.”

Really enjoyed the apartment, well kitted out, stayed cool during the heatwave of July 2021. It does have an apparent leakage from the shower area when using the shower head, the bathroom floor had a puddle on after showering, the floor towel mat stayed damp. The patio seats, the metal mesh seat panel has some area detached from the frame- it ripped my shorts when I stood up. Under the right leg at the front of the seat, the edge of mesh is loose and slightly raised. The sequoia tree outside is a jewel of a tree. Thanks, would happily stay at this apartment again.

“The property was disappointing.”

The property was not clean, large cobweb in the kitchen, many of the surfaces were grubby with long standing dirty marks; this included the cooker, door handles, worktops, light switches, bed side tables, place mats inside the microwave and bathroom tiles near the sink. There was a lot of dust on the carpet under all of the beds (as well as general clutter). The mop and hoover were filthy. The whole apartment was tired and worn. The fittings are old and worn out, including the eclectic mix of outdoor furniture (damaged plastic chairs!). The apartment has a damp problem, it smelt all week and the double bedroom especially felt damp. Being a downstairs apartment set within trees is always going to be dark, so using low wattage bulbs in all rooms does not address the lack of light, and felt extremely gloomy. The property feels neglected and appears to be an investment opportunity without any concern for offering a quality rental offering for the price. We have stayed at the Neaum Crag site many times over the years and like the location, and peaceful site, but we will avoid the Wordsworth property in future.

“Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.”

Excellent location, comfortable 'cottage' to stay in, well resourced etc. Would definitely recommend it. Hopefully we will get chance to visit again

There are fine views from the summit of Neaum Crag itself which is easily climbed via a footpath through the grounds and a short walk will bring you to the pretty Loughrigg Tarn and the paths up to Loughrigg - one of central Lakeland's most popular walks. This is a peaceful location well away from passing traffic - there is a wealth of bird life in the area and you may often be able to see deer and red squirrels in the woodlands around.

Electric heating throughout plus additional electric fire in the lounge keeps the property cosy for out of season lets. Fitted carpets throughout. The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped with lots of personal touches, games, maps and guide books for your use. Outside: Patio garden area with table and chairs provided - a lovely place to relax on warmer days with plenty of interest for bird watchers if you put out some nuts. Named parking for two cars.

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.
