"Spacious, comfortable with good range of utensils."
Missed having a full length mirror in the main bedroom but very impressed with the amount of storage, we’ve never had so many drawers! The location was perfect for us being within walking distance of the centre of Ambleside and we liked the uphill walk on the way back. It was also nice to have a garden to sit in with a drink before dinner.

"The property was beautiful, finished to a very high standard."
We wanted to take the kitchen home but we couldn't get it in the car, lol. We really enjoyed our week's stay and we wouldn't think twice to stay again.
-
"Lovely property."
Clean, well stocked, good Bose speaker. 7=8 walk into town albeit pretty steep. Parking was easy. Nice owner
-
"Very quiet, peaceful location."
The sound of the water was lovely. Great location for walks from the door but also great just to relax. As somebody else said, take your own hand wash. That was the only thing missing. The kitchen is so well stocked with every utensil you can think of. Very modern kitchen. Nice comfortable beds. This was one of the best places that we have stayed at.

"The property was perfect for us, well set out, clean and well appointed."
The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need. A special mention for the beds - the mattresses and pillows were so comfortable. We had a lovely week and would definitely go back.
-
"Beautiful property, really friendly hosts and they brought a bottle of champagne over when we said we were there for a birthday!"
Great location to Ambleside and well equiped kitchen.
-
"We found Mardale to be an excellent holiday base for our party of four adults and two children."
On arrival the property was warm, spotlessly clean and we soon found the kitchen to be very well equipped. The rest of the property was nicely decorated and furnished and the rooms were spacious. Having two bathrooms was really useful as was a utility room with laundry facilities. Ample parking and a short stroll from the centre of Ambleside were further plus points. We would happily return.

"Excellent location close to town centre, but off the beaten track."
Very well equipped and spacious. Really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Superb property in a very convenient location."
Every facility provided for a holiday stay. We had a minor problem with the shower in the main bathroom but was sorted whilst we were there. Very comfortable and spacious cottage would recommend

"Our second stay here, has everything thing you need for a lovely stay."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mardale."
The cottage was very well kitted out both with the quality of products and in the kitchen the quantities provided. Our son loved playing with the games & we used the walking books to do some lovely walks including one from the house around Stock Ghyll.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"I was very impressed with the property."
It was very well appointed and is in a great location. The beds were very comfortable and it was also nice to have some outside space. I'd be very happy to stop there again

"An enjoyable stay in a very well equipped and tastefully furnished ground floor apartment."
Conveniently placed a short 5 min walk from Ambleside centre, via a pretty and quiet lane ( steep but nice). Easy parking and access to a small garden area. Bedrooms very comfortable, but 2 are overlooked by access drive to an adjoining property, so would really benefit from daylight blinds of some sort for daytime privacy.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

"The property was very comfortable and warm despite the extremely cold weather."
We met the owners in the adjacent property and it was clear that they had invested a considerable effort in ensuring that Mardale had a very high specification. The only minor quibble is that the showers worked best if only one was used at a time and no other appliances were drawing water. The property was cleaned to a good standard but only a basic issue of loo paper was provided and no soap dispensers were provided in the bathrooms. It also took us a while to find the "hidden" drawer with the bulk of the place settings. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay and the property was ideally situated for excursions to The Golden Rule!
Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been noted. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Mardale, the property is extremely well kempt, and had all that we needed."
The location is great, just a very short walk into Ambleside, which was ideal. It's a perfect place to relax after a days activities, we had our 16month old twins, and our dog with us, and we all had a great time, many thanks!
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

"Excellent property, had everything we needed for our weeks stay."
Kitchen was excellent with plenty of utensils. Nice and warm all week. Owners should be proud of the property.
-
"Usual high standard of fixtures and fittings."
Thankyou.
-
"We had a lovely stay in this property."
It was ideally located near to the town, with plenty of space for us to relax, nicely decorated with all the mod cons that you would want, as well as comfortable beds. Great off road parking, and an enclosed garden. The water pressure was such that only one person call shower at time (there are 2 showers on the property). We enjoyed the stay so much we have booked again next year

"Lovely place, handy for the town and an excellent base for the Central Lakes"
-
"We had a lovely stay at Mardale."
Would love to know if you let out (own) property above and adjoining for a larger family holiday next year?
-
"A beautiful property in our favourite location."
Excellent facilities, everything we needed and much more. Excellent private parking. Could not have wished for anything more. Thank you again for a fabulous stay in Ambleside.

"Company not the same now not a family city-owned by Sykes now."
The property was v good. However the hot water cold and there was no instructions to change it and no easy overidge. The heating was difficult but a bit easier to change. There should be easy instructions to do this. There is damp in the dining area. Also with no sound proofing the property above make it noisy at times. It's in a great location and overall a nice property.

"We've been visiting Mardale several times a year for over 20 years and look at it as a home from home with many happy family reunions."
We had a couple of equipment issues, but HOTL were very quick to respond although one issue couldn’t be remedied during our stay as it required a part to be ordered. Unfortunately however it’s just getting so expensive now and we are uncomfortable with Sykes’s policy of dynamic pricing where the amount you pay varies up or down according to demand, so this may affect whether we’ll be returning. However, a big thank you to the owners Paul and Cathy, who have always been welcoming and friendly and have provided a superb base for our family holidays in the Lakes.

About the location
AMBLESIDE
Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
