• "Great place for central Ambleside."

  Parking is a real bonus. The flat is up some stairs which might be an issue for some. It is really tastefully done, with relatively recent bathroom and kitchen overhauls. Kitchen is great for self-caterers - loads of decent cooking kit. Lounge is really comfortable (as with others, never got to grips with the TV and BT box that we had no idea how to work - not an issue for us as we don't come to the Lakes to stare at a TV, but this might be an issue for some). Positives - location is excellent - right in the middle of Ambleside - great for accessing amenities etc and loads of activities from the door. Parking is a bonus (scaffolding has now been removed). Spacious accommodation. Two decent sized bathrooms. Really comfortable beds. The finishing is quality. Negatives - location is right in the middle of Ambleside - this won't suit everyone. This is not (nor does it claim to be) an isolated countryside retreat.

• "Generally a very nice apartment; well placed in the centre of Ambleside, well equipped and with very comfy beds."

  More lighting on the access stairs would be welcome, as would double glazing in the living room to stop the heat leaking out in winter. Also had to figure out the heating controller as we couldn't find instructions for it.

• "Lovely flat, good location but dark at the bottom of the stairs, not good when returning after sunset (and in the rain!"

  ). Rubbish and recycling arrangements not clear and half a dozen bins blocking the access to the stairs. We couldn’t work out how to work the TV (but that might be us!).

• "We had a 3 night stay at Loughrigg View with our daughter in August."

  Ideal location in Ambleside town centre for shops, pubs and restaurants. Perfect base for walks. The apartment had everything we needed. Spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Ambleside.

• "Had a second stay here to do some walking and exploring the area with my two brothers."

  Great place to stay while visiting Ambleside. Was a bit disappointed that the DVD player had been removed since our last stay as we were hoping to watch some films. Also surprised that the toaster hadn't been replaced due to the cancel button being broken, we reported this last time. Small issues but they didn't spoil our visit.

  The toaster will be replaced this coming weekend and a new DVD player has been ordered and should hopefully arrive in time for the weekend also. The last one broke and we didn’t think anybody used it so thank you for letting us know that it is worth replacing. Thank you for the very kind review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

• "Really lovely stay and would recommend the place."

  Only a couple of small complaints. Not being able to open the windows is a big pain. Also the noise from the pub was a little loud but only on the Friday and sat night. Also supplying salt / pepper and actual washing sponges would be a big win, however was largely very impressed with how well stocked the place was with utensils.

  It’s a lovely place with big patios rooms, could do with a little tlc and it’s up a flight of stairs but as a base to stay in in Ambleside it’s ideal :-)

  Apartment is beautiful, although chilly even with heating permanently on. All in all a lovely stay

  Lovely bedrooms one ensuite. Large well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room. Parking was a bit tight due to work in adjacent property. Toaster was broken but apart from that it was a very relaxing stay.

• "Excellent property, centrally located and well maintained."

  The only issue was recycling instructions needed to be clearer as we are not from the area. Also it needed to be clearer as to where parking was located i.e. entrance between two buildings on the road a bit vague and the height of the fire escape to the property as some older people would struggle

• "Loughrigg was the perfect little getaway with a beautiful view of the peaks and a lovely modern decor."

  It was almost perfect, the only drawback was the noise from the pub opposite the road which continued until 1am in the morning. Of course, I understand that the owners cannot prevent this, but a little forewarning to bring ear plugs to hide the noise or even earplugs provided by the owners would have been appreciated as it was quite disruptive for sleeping. That said, my friends and I had a lovely stay here and it was the perfect location for everything we had planned over our weekend stay. I would definitely recommend it to those visiting the Lakes!

• "Great location and a lovely flat, decorated and furnished really nicely."

  There was a plumber there replacing the boiler when we arrived - not really too much of an issue, we were able to leave our bags and head out until he was finished - however he did say that we should have been informed that check-in would be a little late, but we didn't receive a call or an email from Sykes. It's a pity that the finish of the workmanship was a little 'shoddy' the en-suite door didn't shut properly as the latch is fitted the wrong way around, and the door is so squeaky that it wakes everyone else if you need to use during the night! The bulbs in the living room lights must be the wrong type, as the dimmer switch doesn't work, and whoever painted the bedroom doors managed to get paint all over the handles! We had a great stay, and none of the above was a problem, but thought I'd mention so owners were aware.

• "Amazing property and probably one of the best I have stayed in."

  It would be helpful if the parking spaces were actually labelled for the individual properties. I appreciate we had an issue with my guest parking in the wrong space, but a name plaque on the wall would make it clear, which space was allocated to which property.

• "We had a lovely time, the apartment was in a great central location in Ambleside and was modern, comfortable and clean."

  Would definitely visit again. Only negative was the cleaner who appeared at 9.50am and rudely told us we should have been out for 9am (which seemed very early to me!) Wouldn’t have minded had she been polite about the situation but she was rude and matter of fact! Took great pleasure in showing her our paperwork which clearly said depart for 10am! I suggested she speak to Sykes who had provided us with documentation as we’d have been out before 10am had that been the case. Other than her rudeness which annoyed us all, we all had a great time.

  The location is central to all amenities and the parking space was a great bonus (if a little snug). The apartment exceeded expectations and the photos don't do it justice. Would definitely recommend and will stay again on our next trip to the Lakes. The steps need care when wet.

• "Very nice good sized central apartment with many walks and facilities from the door."

  Appreciated the smart TV, Jaccuzi bath and well fitted out kitchen. However some things need attention. The en-suite toilet was moving when you sat on it so we didn’t use this one. The sink in there was blocked with hair and black gunk and would not drain until I cleared it out. Yuk. The microwave turntable didn’t work so we couldn’t use it. The towels provided were also a bit parsimonious.

  Everything had been thought of and it was like a home from home - but better! The spa bath was an unexpected treat, the beds were extremely comfortable and the cleanliness was impeccable. Even the music/chat at night from the bar opposite did not bother us, it couldn't be helped and our host had provided a box of earplugs anyway - we slept very well. All in all it was a gorgeous property in a beautiful location - we had an amazing time.

  You do need to be able to climb stairs though The flat was larger than we'd anticipated, well laid out, clean and well equipped. Comfy beds too, and sun streaming through the windows. And a great view from the lounge We had that rarity in Cumbia in April - a week of sun, so thanks for arranging that... We will be booking again, maybe for 2 weeks!

  A small welcome pack (milk etc. would have been nice, most cottages we have rented included this. It may be worth pointing out in the description that the apartment is on a busy junction with quite a bit of road noise, and is opposite a bar (The Lilly) which is open very late and pretty noisy if you have the windows open in summer
