• "Absolutely loved our short break at Wynford it was more than perfect."

  Beautiful spacious house in a stunning location. Facilities and amenities are more than enough, they really have thought of everything, just fabulous for a family gathering. Housekeepers do an amazing job it really is Spotlessly clean. Lovely and warm too and the Christmas tree and decor was a lovely little touch, definitely will be returning. Thank you

• "We’ve been coming to the Lakes for over 30years and this was the best property we’ve stayed in yet."

  The rooms and en-suites were very spacious and thoughtfully decorated, but it was the communal areas that really made the property stand out. Plenty of seating options downstairs, a very well appointed kitchen and wonderful views. There was also plenty of space for parking (we had 5 cars without issue). The only tricky point was the bins. As a group of 10 we generated a lot of rubbish as everything went into the same bag with no recycling, and despite putting the bins out for collection ahead of the dates, they weren’t collected. They were already partially filled when we arrived and whilst It didn’t impact our stay in any way, this might be something that the owners need to raise with the council. Overall, a wonderful property in a fantastic, quiet location which we would love to return to again.

• "Excellent house, perfect for our group as we were there primarily for a walking holiday."

  Easy access to the hills. Centre of Ambleside not too far although it is slightly up hill on the way back!

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wynford."

  With 8 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs it’s hard to find a holiday rental that works so well but Wynford ticked pretty much all the boxes. The house was clean, the bedrooms fully met our needs and there was plenty kitchen equipment. The additional freezer in the garage was very useful.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Wynford. We hope that you would return to The Lakes again The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "Hi we had a real problem with the rubbish bins when we arrived all 4 bins were overflowing and we had to bag up our rubbish and keep it in the utility room."

  With 10 people staying there was a lot as you can appreciate. The bins were supposed to be emptied on Wednesday but were still not emptied when we left. I do regret not reporting this problem immediately. We have stayed in lots of big holiday houses and never had this problem. As you can appreciate we paid a lot of money to rent the house and didn’t expect to have to hoard our rubbish. The notice in the house said not to leave any bags outside of the bins or they would not be emptied so we couldn’t even do that

  We are so sorry you had a poor experience regarding the bins/refuse collection at our property. We have taken great pride in reading the very positive scores/remarks about Wynford over the years, so the issues you have had are a great disappointment to us. We have had intermittent problems with our service provider sourced via Lakelovers and our complaints did not seem to get the right response. However, we have now restructured the service and are very hopeful the problem has been solved. Thank you for the very positive scores on the house itself and again we are very sorry that the bin issue tainted your experience. Property Owner

• "Fabulous house and setting, very well equipped and comfortable."

  We had a wonderful stay with close family and friends, plenty of space for us all and the garden was safe for our dogs. Great that we could wander down to Ambleside or go for walks from the door. There is a big issue with the bins unfortunately, we arrived to full and overflowing bins, not the nicest sight. Lakelovers came and took some of the rubbish away but it seems to be an ongoing problem which will affect other guests. Overall, however, a super place to stay and would definitely recommend Wynford.

• "The property is lovely and as described."

  It was a perfect choice for a group of 8 of us to celebrate my partner’s 50th birthday. The open plan layout made it easy for everyone to relax and socialise and there was plenty of space. The bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable. The standard of decor was lovely and the property was spotlessly clean. The location of the property was also perfect. A short walk into town and no shortage of walks starting and ending at the property. We parked the cars on the Friday and didn’t use them again until we left on the Monday. All in all a weekend that we all thoroughly enjoyed and won’t forget. To a person everyone has said how perfect the property was for a group like ours.

• "Everything generally very good."

  Heating was an issue, but in fairness it was exceptionally cold weather. Had to get maintenance in to sort out the heating which we could not get working on the top floor. A knife sharpener would be handy as all carving knives were blunt. Otherwise an excellent location and facilities. We will be back for sure.

• "Had a fantastic 3 night stay at Wynford in Ambleside."

  Couldn't fault this beautiful house in any way. We were 7 adults and 4 children and everything you could possibly need was provided. The house was heated perfectly too. Would highly recommend and Lakelovers were very easy and helpful to deal with keeping us fully informed at every stage.

• "Excellent facility’s, thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday, parents, four children, partners and a ten month old."

  Everything had been thought of and supplied, a few maintenance issues noted but nothing that impacted our holiday. Roman blind on stairs broken and a crack on outside of skylight…as I say minor details. We struggled initially with opening the front door, user error but a heads up for future cottage users might save a call out for the very helpful and friendly maintenence team. More hanging space / clothes storage for the dressing room area in the loft would have been nice, a nice to have and did not impact on the holiday! A beautiful and well thought home from home!!

• "A great property in an excellent location, easy reach of Ambleside town centre and the hills."

  Plenty of space for our family and having en-suites were an absolute bonus. The views were fantastic from the property and kitchen facilities were excellent. We would definitely stay again. Just a small thing, there was a very strange message that was meant to be amusing on a pin board relating to the serial killer 'Fred West'. We could see the funny side, but some people might find this disconcerting and offensive. I would remove this if I was the owner as you never know what you might get!

• "Beautiful, clean, comfortable and perfect for our four generation family holiday."

  Plenty of room around the open plan kitchen, dining and living areas so we didn't feel like we were falling over each other. Our two springadors enjoyed the enclosed garden area and slept comfortably in the utility room. The bottom stair gate was useful in stopping them trying to explore upstairs and my nearly 2 year old grandson learned to bump down the stairs on his bottom so a top stair gate wasn't necessary. The location up a bit of a hill was peaceful but still very handy for everything in Ambleside and taking his time even Great Grandpa at 89 managed the walk. There were plenty of pots and utensils for cooking though another couple of serving dishes would have been handy. We had a fabulous stay and have already booked again for next year.

• "The communal areas in this house were ideal for our multi-generational holiday, whether at the dining table, cooking in the kitchen or relaxing in the lounge no one was left out."

  All the rooms were a good standard, with there being no need to squabble for the best room. Kitchen was well equipped, although the baking trays only fit in the larger oven which took some oven juggling for cooking. The views from the lounge snd dining areas were great, and although it rained consistently so we didn’t get to use the outside space this looked lovely and there was ample parking. We would definitely stay here again.

  All but one of the rooms is en-suite and the 6th room has an adjacent bathroom which is a valued aspect of staying with family/friends. The kitchen is well fitted out with useful good quality stuff. There are two outdoor areas set up with nice outdoor furniture which we made much use of. We would highly recommend Wynford & Lakelovers!
