“Approach to accommodation can be challenging to less confident drivers, or those with a large vehicle, tight areas to negotiate with vehicle due to narrow lane and inconsiderate parking.”

Very near local amenities and good bus links, our own car parked up for the entire stay. Can highly recommend the apartment!

Thank you for your feedback and really pleased you enjoyed your stay The occasional inconsiderate parking has been taken up with the Council due to concerns that an ambulance or fire engine could not get through in an emergency Property Owner

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Hill Park.”

The apartment was in the perfect location, being just a short downhill in to the centre of Ambleside. It was very well equipped with modern and comfortable furnishings with lots of extra touches for an enjoyable stay. Parking was easy and with plenty of walks from the doorstep we didn't use the car all week. We would love to stay again and would recommend to family and friends.

“Wonderful stay, apartment beautifully presented and was spotlessly clean upon arrival.”

Apartment was well equipped with everything we needed throughout our stay, even small details had been thought about such as children's utensils and crockery which has often been overlooked in other places we have stayed. Despite other reviews, we got the TV working no problem and made full use of the patio and the commual gardens when the sun came out. The location is ideal and we left the car most days and walked straight out of the apartment - the walk leaflets at the front door were well used! Would definitely book to stay again.

“The property was amazing.”

Very well equipped. By far the cleanest holiday let I've stayed in! High quality appliances and lots of little extras such as hand wash, washing up liquid, tinfoil, sandwich bags etc. Bottle of prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch! Will definitely be back!

“Great cottage with good parking.”

Short walk down to Ambleside and a 10 min walk back. Shame not more outdoor space as all very communal. Couldn’t get the smart TV to work and stream but had laptop and connected through the laptop. Will look to rebook soon

“This is a really nice flat in a good location for Ambleside with good parking.”

The flat is smaller than pictures suggest but is easily big enough for 4. There is lots of useful storage and brilliant to have a dishwasher and washing machine and dryer. Good range of cooking utensils and pans etc and big fridge freezer. You can’t really use the back outside space as it’s tiny and never gets sun but the front shared garden space is really nice. The bath plug might need looking at as whenever we had a bath the water slowing ran out but shower was good and lots of hot water. The towel rail didn’t work unless heating was on which was odd as there appeared to be an electric switch.

- Kate, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. I think to say the patio is unusable is unreasonable; as can be seen from the pictures there is enough room for a table that easily fits 4 people. It is south east facing so gets the sun (when it is out) from mid morning to mid afternoon. We can supply pictures to prove this There are instructions on how to operate the towel rail in the folder (and is as recommended by British Gas) Property Owner

“The second time visiting and all great again, the only criticism would be the TV which now can only be worked by a fire stick which makes it less than easy to use.”

Not sure if this a temporary fix but it's not great. I would definitely recommend the property though it's very clean and tidy and the location is lovely and peaceful.

- Michele, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback Unfortunately the satellite stopped working and the fire stick was the quickest way we could provide a good range of live and catch up TV It is only temporary and will replaced by Smart Tv. Property Owner

“This is a beautiful apartment, there is everything you need to cook food indoors if you want to, it's very clean & tidy, we found it very comfortable for our weeks stay, it only takes a 5 minutes to walk into Ambleside, I highly recommend it.”

- Kim, December 2022
Carla September 2022

“Lovely apartment!”

Beautifully furnished, everything of the highest quality. Well situated, just a 10/15 minutes' walk from the bus stop in Ambleside (a bit of a climb, but even for me (78) no problem. No negative points, or it would be that the kitchen was too "high tech" for me... kitchen also surprisingly well equipped. The bottle of Prosecco which awaited me upon arrival in the apartment was very much appreciated!

- Carla, September 2022
Diccon September 2022

“Skye apartment really is excellent and we have been many times.”

It was certainly cleaned to a very high standard this time. We have marked it perfectly apart from ‘Comfort’ as the sofas are not very comfortable anymore where the cushioning has aged with use. Apart from that minor point it really is a Lakeland gem

“What a fantastic property in a great location.”

“Really happy with the property and our stay.”

Great apartment, easy parking and location gives handy access to Wansfell and Ambleside. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and DVDs and games were handy when it rained!

- Matthew, February 2022
Susan February 2022

“Blue hill park more than met our expectations, everything about it said quality and everything you could possibly need was there.”

We had a lovely comfortable break and our granddaughter appreciated the games and dvd’s provided. Thank you to Diane for her contact and the welcome drink.

Lee December 2021

“As a happy Lakelovers customer for many years, I was disappointed to be called by the check-in team when I was 5 minutes away from my apartment on foot with two wet and cold young children to tell me my apartment would not be ready for at least another hour as it had not been cleaned.”

Admittedly frustrated after a 6 am departure from London, the team at Lakelovers offered to pay for a meal and drinks for my family while we waited. I appreciate that mistakes can happen and am more than happy with how the team made up for it. I would happily return to Lakelovers based on this continued excellent customer service.

- Lee, December 2021
Katie October 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Blue Hill Park.”

The flat was modern and clean and is a perfect distance from the town - it is quiet but easily walkable to town. We loved the woods up behind the house and wish we’d had more time to explore. We would definitely book here again.

- Katie, October 2021
Deborah October 2021

“This was a beautiful property & in a good location apart from the steep hills if your not fit.”

It was a lovely surprise to receive the bottle of Prosecco. We would definitely come back & recommend it friends. Thank you.

- Deborah, October 2021
Megan October 2021

“The apartment was nice but it was very dirty with us having to clean the property upon arrival - cobwebs, spiders, dirty plates, dirty table, crumbs all over the kitchen floor and stains on the bed.”

The Sykes Cottages team were not very helpful when I advised them of this; they didn’t respond to two of my emails and kept requesting photos of the dirt which I had already cleaned up in order to progress the matter further. They did offer a reclean but I had already cleaned the property and with Covid, we didn’t want someone entering the premises. They didn’t seem to care that the apartment wasn’t up to expectations.

- Megan, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are very disappointed that the apartment was not clean for your arrival. The property had a deep clean 8 days before you arrived and the guest the week before you gave it 100% for cleanliness so we are surprised it could have got that dirty. I understand the Lakelovers housekeeping team offered to reattend but this was declined by you; we have a contract with them to clean the property and provide fresh linen and towels and it is their job to ensure this is done.

“Second stay at this property.”

For us it was a perfect location, we didn’t need to drive anywhere most days and could walk from the property to the activities/walks we wanted to do.

Stephen July 2021

“Great location for Ambleside with ample parking.”

The apartment is superb, well furnished with everything you need & we were even left a small welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Will be back - weather was superb & the apartment was perfect

- Stephen, July 2021

Thank you Mr Abram for your feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and that the weather was perfect during your holiday too. We look forward to seeing you again! Property Owner
Lindsey June 2021

“Wonderful apartment with parking.”

Everything you need for a weekend break. Great location, only 5 minute walk to the centre. Will definitely stay here again (hopefully next year).

- Lindsey, June 2021
Katy May 2021

“The apartment was immaculately throughout with everything you could need.”

The kitchen was really well equipped and well thought out making the most of the limited space. The location was perfect, just a 5-10 minute walk into Ambleside and with walks direct from the doorstep. The children loved exploring the woods behind the apartment, and were excited to discover the little waterfall in there. We also enjoyed the walk up Wansfell and also to Stockghyll force. Also walking distance to the lake. There were laminated walk routes available at the apartment. Would highly recommend.

- Katy, May 2021

Thank you for your kind comments, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Blue Hill and we hope to see you again soon, Thanks once again Property Owner

The property

Blue Hill Park is a state-of-the-art, ground floor apartment situated in an exclusive development, on the slopes of Wansfell, with the vibrant centre of Ambleside just a short downhill stroll away (A slightly longer walk back uphill) This perfectly placed bolt-hole enjoys a wonderful setting leading the way in contemporary Lakeland life. Oak, Lakeland slate and glass feature throughout blending effortlessly with sumptuous furnishings. This is a place to relax and spend precious time together. A pathway leads behind the property to Wansfell via Blue Hill Wood and in the other direction a coveted short stroll to the shops, restaurants, lake cruises and late nights of Ambleside and Waterhead Pier. What a place to recharge your batteries! Accommodation in detail Entrance hall, beautiful oak flooring continuing into the open plan living space; contemporary yet comfy furnishings. The designer kitchen is open to the living space and has all you may need including a stylish island comprising the hob, sink and pop up power supply for the electric kettle and toaster. Both bedrooms are beautifully appointed and one has patio doors to a private patio garden, ideal for al-fresco living. The bathroom is luxurious. Private parking space with extra visitor space. Location Blue Hill Park nestles in a peaceful yet very handy spot just a few minutes stroll from the heart of the village of Ambleside. A holiday property in Ambleside provides an excellent starting point for a varied Lake District holiday. Easily accessible via the A591 on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a contemporary, characterful Lakeland village with a spectacular backdrop of Lake District fells. The location is ideal for walking in the Lake District, with many renowned routes beginning in and around the village. But Ambleside is also a popular choice for a relaxed, slow-paced holiday. Contemporary shops, leisurely lake cruises, acclaimed Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs make the village centre a delight at any time of year. For evening entertainment, you'll find plenty to suit every taste. Try the Fulling Mill restaurant, in a superbly converted saw mill, for a special evening out. Or, take your pick from the two quirky cinemas; Zeffirellis cinema includes a great vegetarian restaurant and live jazz bar. Fellinis has an excellent vegetarian restaurant too and shows live stream concerts/shows in a relaxed studio cinema environment. You'll also find a wide range of pubs, serving hearty food and real Lakeland ale - notable for its lake shore setting is the Wateredge Inn. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Waterhead Pier, just outside Ambleside village centre. The elegant 'steamers' offer regular trips to Bowness and Lakeside - a great way to explore without driving. Evening cruises are also available, sometimes with buffet meals and live music. Windermere Golf Club is close by and well worth a visit too.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
