• "The property was very comfortable and cosy."

  But a few things did let it down. The light above the front door did not work, the front door was very stiff and difficult to open and closing. We were also disappointed by the total lack of radio signal and occasional loss of TV signal during watching programme. Other than late it's a really great place to stay.

• "A small apartment but well-designed so the space was used well."

  The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and equipment. The bathroom was very smart with a fabulous shower. It would be good to include in the property details that towels are provided. We were surprised that only one toilet roll was provided for the week. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage. Having a dedicated parking place was a real bonus!

• "This was our second stay at Troutbeck."

  The property is lovely and extremely well equipped. The last time we stayed, the only thing we noted was the old settee. This time, not only had the furniture been replaced, but there was new carpet. It really is a great property, well situated away from the busy part of town and with a great parking space right outside. I cannot recommend highly enough and we will definitely stay again.

• "Seating in lounge too soft - no support."

  An empty cupboard would have been appreciated - we had to use valuable work surface for our cereal packets but otherwise kitchen good. Bed very comfortable & bathroom excellent - loved the mirror.

  Thank you for your feedback. The owner will be able to see these suggestions and can action where necessary. We are glad that you found the beds comfortable and enjoyed your stay. Lakelovers Owner Team Property Owner

• "What an absolutely lovely place to stay, parking at the front door, fully equipped kitchen (we didn’t once think we should have brought this or that with us), huge comfy bed, a lovely big shower cubicle (one of my holiday home gripes is a lot of places don’t cater for showering people over 6 feet tall and I end up crouching with a chest height shower, not in this one thankfully!"

  ), and all a two minute stroll down into Ambleside. All the local walks were straight out of the door, with the kitchen and bedroom windows looking up at Wandsfell and a front window looking across at Loughrigg both views served as weather indicators most mornings! Over the years we have stayed just around the corner from this place in a flat on the Falls estate, but this just seems more convenient and quieter. Will definitely be back to stay here.

• "We had a wonderful week staying at Troutbeck."

  The property was immaculate and very well kitted out. The kitchen and bathroom are fitted and equipped to a high standard. The bed was massive and comfortable. My only criticism is the settee, which could do with updating. It is very low and soft and not so easy to get up once you have sat down. Recycling facilities on site would be a bonus. We are already looking to book a return stay.

• "This was the second year running we've stayed at Troutbeck."

  It's ideally situated, quiet location but just a 5 minute walk to the centre of Ambleside. The apartment is ideal for 2 people and being able to park right outside is a bonus. For some reason the wifi didn't work the first couple of days we were there but apart from that everything was great.

• "The property is really well located in Ambleside for both walks and going into Ambleside for food/drinks."

  The car parking space outside the property is ideal. The bathroom and kitchen have been refurbished fairly recently but the lounge and bedroom particularly the bed, which was quite uncomfortable needs updating a bit. The kitchen is well equipped but fairly small, even for two, and there was a lack of storage space for our food. The WIFI was weak and dropped in and out so could do with strengthening. Overall and taking all the comments I’ve made into account, the property is well located, good for two people and we enjoyed our walking week in Ambleside.

  Troutbeck is such pleasant place that we have been to twice and will definitely come here again. An ideal location both within the Lakes and also within Ambleside. Thank you for keeping such a beautiful place.

• "Very well equipped for such a small apartment."

  Only complaint was poor quality pillows which gave no support. A good night's sleep is so important. Unfortunately I have returned home with back pain !

• "The property was excellent and surprisingly quiet as it has other properties on either side and above."

  Parking was good. The facilities were really excellent - the property has great attention to detail (a hot-water bottle!) and a very good selection of books, DVDs and maps and information about the area. All the furnishings and fittings are good quality and the shower was excellent and roomy. Only very small niggles: 1. We couldn't get the DVD to work (we got it to turn on) as the only remote that seemed to be the DVD wouldn't work, despite changing the batteries. 2. A non-slip shower mat would be useful. We had to buy one. 3. We understand that the kitchen is small but there was very little storage space, especially for vegetables (we had to store ours in a bag in the sitting room). Any suggestions?

• "Well equipped and comfortable."

  Good location, only issues for us were that the soap in the bathroom was almost empty and the pillows were not very ‘plump’ and supportive.

• "We have used this flat many times."

  It is convenient in all sorts of ways. The only problem we had this year concerns the poor washing-up standards of previous occupants. We will almost certainly stay here again.

• "A well equipped and comfortable flat with easy walking access to the centre of Ambleside (5 minutes)."

  My only suggestion would be to consider having a second set of keys in the flat for us both to use. This would reduce the worry of locking ourselves out!

• "We had a fantastic holiday in the lakes and Troutbeck was the perfect little base."

  Just a 3-minute walk down the hill to the beautiful town of Ambleside (with plenty of cosy pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops) it's perfectly located for exploring Lake Windermere (a 20 minute walk to the pier) and the fells and mountains nearby (we'd recommend Loughrigg Fell and Wansfell Pike, both of which are good, steady walks with stunning views). Rydal is also a short walk away, and is a scenic little village with plenty to see (Rydal Water is spectacular on a clear day). The apartment itself was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. The kitchen and bathroom have obviously been recently refitted and were sparkly and new. The living room was a little dated, but that's a minor gripe. The books and leaflets with recommended walking routes were really handy too (we did a few of these!) and the check in/out process was a piece of cake! Overall, a cosy little retreat in the perfect location! We'd return in a heartbeat.

• "Hi. Your online description states fridge/freezer."

  Not so. It's a grudge with an ice box compartment as correctly stated in the property's inventory. Disappointing for us as we had bought some stuff for the freezer on our way to the property! We had an issue with an annoying leaky and constantly dripping gutter. Dripping from roof of property onto roof of our bedroom resulting in disturbed sleep. Waited till Monday morning 4th October to report it (not an emergency so couldn't contact anyone over weekend) Went to Ambleside office to report issue. All sorted by t time. Massive thanks to the young lady on duty that morning. Very friendly, apologetic and efficient and not been working there long. Pl pass on our appreciation to her. Ta.

  Accommodation was great nicely decorated and equipped; great big bed and lovely bathroom.
