"We loved this apartment!"
It's perfectly located in Ambleside near to shops and restaurants, and also to discover the rest of the Lake District.
The apartment has everything you need and more. It's very clean, comfortable and very spacious. Absolutely 5 stars!!! We'll definitely recommend.

"We had a lovely stay."
The property was in a great location and was very spacious. The towels were so soft and fluffy!
Great to have a few logs, fire lighters and kindling for the fire. Thankyou.
Given the price we paid we expected a welcome pack of things such as milk, butter, bread etc. and maybe a few store cupboard items such as oil for cooking.
The microwave, oven and fridge were dirty and needed cleaning prior to use.
The knives were also blunt and could do with being replaced.
Overall a great stay. Thankyou.

"Unfortunately unable to recommend."
Flat adequate but charged£120 on the basis of some very blurred pictures of alleged damage. Impossible to identify either damage or location even though we requested additional information. Would avoid at all costs.

"We have holidayed in this apartment several times over the years."
The sofa is unfortunately now too low for our needs and therefore we struggled to be comfortable in the living room. The rest of the apartment was comfy and well equipped. Ideally situated close to all amenities

"Great property, just a few comments;
1) There were no blinds in back bedroom (only front), so it was too light for my daughter (curtains too thin) - recommend to add blinds to help sleep
2) Front bedroom was very noisy from the road traffics (only room with old sash windows which didn’t block out any noise) - difficult to solve but worth to mention on the description (had to sleep with earplugs)
Everything else was great!"

"The apartment was really lovely but we will not be returning as the 2 flights of stairs to gain access was a problem for us as we are both over 70."
once inside it was ideal. We would have enjoyed a balcony as we managed to be in the Lakes with glorious weather. In the bedroom, not the master, I found putting clothes on the rail you needed to be a giant. same with the microwave, I am quite tall but both areas caused me grief. Apart from the above it was a lovely stay, close to all amenities which was a blessing, we would recommend this apartment to family.

"Great place to stay over the festive season."
Very comfortable and centrally located. Great walks from the door, even though the weather was against us. Hadn’t realised how busy Ambleside was over NY and the traffic noise in the bedroom was noticeable.The apartment itself was a bit more tired than previous feedback had suggested: various items broken or stained. When we emailed, and phoned, about lights not working we were told ‘leave it with us’ but nothing happened for the rest of the week.

"We had a wonderful stay."
The facilities were brilliant and in a fab location. The only issue we had was controlling the heating. The heating seemed to be either on or off. We tried changing the thermostat but could not change the heat level - we were either very warm or a tad chilly. Would definitely stay again though as we muddled through the heating.
I am really sorry to hear about the heating problem there are thermostats on each radiator so you can change the temperature in each room. As always please call the agent if you have any problems they are always there to help.
