    Bathroom could do with a bit of an update. A few too many ornaments that I was concerned might get broken.

    Wonderful views from apartment windows. Five minutes walk into Ambleside. Well equipped kitchen. Parking a real bonus!

    Super Appartment in a great location with parking. Loved the views over Ambleside. Great communication and easy check in. Really appreciate the owners organising early check in as I had to log on for last minute meeting.

    The path down to the town centre is a little steep but we were aware of this prior to booking and it didn't matter much to us.

    The location was brilliant and so close to the centre of ambleside. The apartment was beautiful and was very cosy. We have had a brilliant weekend and would definitely stay again in the future. The hosts communication was excellent and we were able to check in a little earlier which was really useful.

    Nothing, place was great.

    A very cosy and convenient apartment, nicely appointed and comfortable. Everything was as expected with a very comfortable bed and excellent kitchen/lounge area. It was perfect for our trip to Ambleside and we had a very enjoyable time. Very central, a couple of minutes walk to town, but watch out for the slope on the way home which will keep you fit!

    We had two nights at the apartment. Very comfortable and everything as expected from the photos. WiFi was okay in the bedroom but for something reason the signal was poor in the lounge. Bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch. Was a 15 min walk to the lake and just a few mins to town. There's a path at the end of the road right into town.

    The property is located in a fantastic location, a stones throw away from Ambleside centre. The views from the rooms were fantastic looking over Ambleside. It was like a home from home, all the facilities you need to enjoy a perfect stay. It was clear to me that the owner takes pride in delivering excellent customer service for their guests. When returning to Ambleside in the future I will absolutely be staying here again.

    Fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. View was amazing and only a short walk downhill into town. Uphill coming back to the apartment -didn’t cause any issues just slightly breathless when we reached the top, more so the hubby as he doesn’t like exercise 😊

    The hill up to the apartment but it was good exercise. The shower tray felt like it had no support.

    Location, view, beautiful clean and welcoming with a glass of Prosecco which was a nice touch. Home from home. Would definately stay again. Thank you
