Armstrong
December 2020

“The shortfall of towels and logs was sorted out promptly thanks.”

4 out of 8 table lamps had failed light bulbs, with no spares in the property. I left them out for the cleaner.

“We booked with Lakelovers and as usual, everything was just as we had hoped and expected, our only issue was the delay in the reimbursement of our good housekeeping bond.”

; in the past, this had always been returned a few days following our holiday, but this took a month to return, and I was told by Sykes this was due to the merger. I was given 3 different dates when I should have received the money, and I had to make 5 phone calls before I finally received it; one of the call handlers also told me I would receive some compensation but this did not materialise. I understand Sykes don’t usually ask for (and therefore have to return), deposits, but I am sure they were aware of this practice prior to the merger and it is disappointing they were not prepared for it.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.

Infants under 18 mths old and only children over 12 yr old
