"The property was both clean and well equipped with large bedrooms and living space."
The lounge/diner did however lack natural light for much of the day requiring a light to be on. Bathrooms clean but small and dated. The major drawback for me was the noise from the floor above, every step and movement was clearly heard with the loud creaking through the ceilings at all hours. For this reason I could not consider staying here again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

"The property is in disparate need of updating."
The smell in the kitchen and living room smelt stale, the bedrooms smelt of damp.
The shower above the bath, was no more than a trickle, and not fit for purpose.
Miss match of plates, cups, no cleaning items, other than a empty surface spray under sink, no hand soap in bathroom.
The kitchen has seen better days, chipped units, and a fridge that isnt cold.
I've taken photos, if you require them.
Please feel free to contact me, to discuss this further.
Thank you for your comments.

"The Falls is a great location for everything in Ambleside and no need to use the car for many walks in the area."
Gillybeck was clean, well equipped and a lovely place to stay. Very pleased to have chosen this apartment and would recommend to anyone thinking of staying here for a relaxing break. The car park space is a few yards from the front door - a godsend in Ambleside where parking in the town can be tricky!!

The overhead shower was great!
Good location....be prepared....it is up a hill.
Once we parked at the accommodation we used local transport bus/ferry to get around...or walked locally.
We enjoyed our stay...thank you.

"The cottage was well situated for us all very quiet area but not to far to the hub of Ambleside ."
...very clean and well equipped nice to have two bathrooms both with shower although the fan in the ensuite wasn't working which did produce a very steamed up bathroom overall though a very good base to spend time in Ambleside

"The fact it’s hilly should be mentioned in your description, people with mobility issues may struggle."
The shower in the ensuite needs replacing. The other shower is fantastic. First property we’ve stayed in without a basic welcome pack. For £210 per night, a bottle of water, tea, milk etc should be affordable to leave for your guests. It is a lovely, clean property, in a good location. The negatives wouldn’t put us off re-booking.
Thank you for your comments. We will look at the description to ensure that it is accurate.
Not all properties provide a welcome pack as it is self catering.
Thank you- The Heart of the Lakes Owner Relations Team

"Very good accomodation, with own parking space."
Well positoned for access to Ambleside shops etc. We used the excellent bus service from Bowness through to Grasmere.
On the slightly negative side, there is an appartment directly above number 12, and the floor boarding there is very creeky, when people are in.

"We found apartment spacious but very dark with little natural light."
Accommodation was quite well equipped but could have been better, no large pan had to use 2 small pans to make enough pasta for 4 people, some areas were a a bit tired and in need of an update kitchen and bathrooms in particular (antique shower in en-suite bathroom) , overall a great location and base to explore from if a bit basic.

"The property is in need of restoration, it’s tired, dated and feels like an old retirement flat."
While the boiler, washing machine and dishwasher are obvious updates, things like door hardware are difficult to use. The parking for the property should be flagged for those with mobility issues, as it’s on a steep slope making exiting a vehicle difficult. The property above was occupied and you could tell where the residents walked, when they were talking, etc. Not a good experience when they arrive back at 10 pm and are moving around until gone 1 am. The location is great, but not enough for us to want to book again I’m afraid and having experienced some absolutely great accommodation, feel this is overpriced for what’s provided.

"Nice accommodation with very good room layout."
Cleanliness was pretty good but not exceptional which is slightly baffling when checkout time has been shortened and check in time extended to provide more time for a “deep” clean to be carried out during these unsettling times of the Covid epidemic. Little things such as light bulbs not working and a lack of matching cutlery/crockery is frustrating when you are paying in excess of £800 per week for the accommodation. The en-suite shower was poor in terms of water flow but the shower in the second bathroom was ok. If you are a light sleeper you would struggle to sleep in the twin bedded room because of light pollution from the outside security lighting. This could be easily sorted with black out curtains.
In summary little things take the gloss of this accommodation and these could be easily corrected. I would not rule out staying at Gillybeck again but I think it is overpriced, with a little bit more attention to detail it could be improved noticeably
