• "We had a relaxing stay at Mounting Steps."

  Lovely appointed holiday let away from the hustle & bustle. The cottage was clean with a comfortable bed & pillows. The kitchen had everything you needed for preparation & cooking. We very much enjoyed sitting at the table & looking out of the window at the view while eating breakfast & when in our evening meal. The big shower was lovely especially after some long walks. Lot's to do around the area, some lovely walks & places to explore &just a short walk into Ambleside. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "A perfectly placed and beautiful cottage."

  It was extremely clean, comfortable and well cared for. The kitchen cupboards were well stocked, plenty of fridge and freezer space, a wonderful bathroom with relaxing bath and large shower. The bed was super comfy. Everywhere felt like home, we couldn’t recommend highly enough. We were able to park directly outside the property which is an 10 min walk from Ambleside with a lovely walk in to pubs, shops and activities. Close to the lakes and lots of walks. It made our holiday perfect.

  Great instructions from the owner and plenty of maps etc to plan our days out. Short walk into Ambleside where we could catch the buses. No need to use the car.

• "We had a wonderful time at The Mounting Steps."

  It was equipped with everything we could possibly need, was extremely comfortable and clean. The shower was lovely, always hot and powerful. The bed was extremely comfortable and night was very quiet. The maps and books were very handy. We loved that we could do all our walks from the door and leave the car most days. We've been coming to the Lakes every year for the last 25 years and this was the best property we have had. We are already looking to rebook in October!

  Thank you for your great feedback Jane and so glad you enjoyed our special place as much as we do! Hope to welcome you back soon . Gill Property Owner

• "The location was perfect and the price was fair."

  The cottage was lovely to stay in. As personal reference, some curtains in the bedroom would be nice as we found it to be quite light in a morning but other than that, we really enjoyed it and would definitely stay again.

  Thank you for your positive feedback Serena and take on board your comments re the window shutters. Glad you enjoyed our cottage and we hope to welcome you back soon! Gill Property Owner

• "What a fantastic find."

  After having been self catering for over 40 years this is one of the best we’ve stayed in.There was everything anyone could want.The property was clean and very comfortable.The actual location was ideal just a short 15 minute walk along the path towards Ambleside. Although we experienced wet weather this didn’t deter us going out.The small garden across the road was a bonus.Where you could sit and admire the view. Plenty of places to eat and drink in Ambleside,you need to book when busy to guarantee your table if dining out. We will certainly be returning to the Mounting Steps soon.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback Carole. I'm glad you made the most of the property and location, despite the awful weather this week! We look forward to welcoming you back one day and hope you get better weather next time! Gill Property Owner

• "We had a good time at The Mounting Steps."

  The place is comfortale and have everything you need. Location is great too. Ambleside centre town is within walking distance and you can access a private (shared) garden, across the road. Unfortunetly, we were not warned that scafolding were in place in both sides of the terrace house which result in construction noise but also no parking space as it wasn't safe to leave the car (e.g. debris falling) - we were lucky to be able to park elsewhere in the courtward though. Overall, it was a good experience, the bathroom is perfect, it is worth climbing the steps after a long day hiking to enjoy a bath!

  Hi Cassandra So sorry to hear about your experience with the neighbours roofing work. I only found out about the scaffolding just before your visit, and attended myself to check that it wasn't blocking our property. I wasn't informed when the works would take place. I am disappointed that you were disturbed by the work and that you didn't feel it safe to park your car in our parking space. However, I am glad you enjoyed our cottage and hope you had some good hiking days in the beautiful area! Property Owner

• "Lovely cosy and comfortable accommodation to relax in after a long walk, bed very comfortable for a good night's sleep."

  From a personal view only, feel a big walk in shower would be more beneficial than the bath and small shower cubicle.

  Hi Karen, I am pleased to confirm that a brand new bathroom, with a much larger shower area, is being installed in May 22. I hope you can return sometime to enjoy it. Thank you, Gill Property Owner

• "Mounting steps is in an excellent position , a very easy and lovely walk into Ambleside."

  The cottage has a lovely sitting room which is light and bright. The kitchen well equipped and the steps didn’t bother us at all. The bathrooms need refurbishment especially the main one , the shower cubicle is tiny ( we are small people) and a bit grubby. The bedroom on the lower floor has a damp issue which wasn’t great but as we had lovely weather so we had the windows open all the time. Saying this we still had a great time but would not stay here again.

  'Thank you for your positive comments on our cottage. We are sorry that you had a poor experience with the shower and possibly with the ground floor. I have personally been and given the shower a really good clean with bleach and I am sure you would be happier with it now. The cottage is set deeply into to the hillside of Loughrigg Fell, which, very occasionally, may give the impression of a slight damp feel on the ground floor. We love this about the cottage, and have a dehumidifier which keeps the room fresh, dry and aired. Unfortunately , the cleaners had not been emptying it regularly, but this has now been rectified. I can assure you the room is very clean and lovely for our guests at all times.' Gill, the owner. Property Owner

  Just be ware the steps between flours are steep and a bit of a challenge at the end of a long day walking.

• "Generally everything was as expected, however, whilst ok for us 2 fairly fit people, older people would really struggle with the stairs & the "dash" across the road to the garden!"

  Lovely property though!!
