    “The accommodation was excellent and well-maintained.”

    No complaints about that at all. One disappointment for us this time was that, after the water supply was cut off to this and many other local properties (United Utilities wa dealing with a leak at a local hotel), the local Lakelovers office was not able to give us any information about the situation, yet when we rang Unitied Utilities about it, they were able to give us a clearer idea about what was going on. The Ambleside Lakelovers staff said that they would bring water to our accommodation ...

    No complaints about that at all. One disappointment for us this time was that, after the water supply was cut off to this and many other local properties (United Utilities wa dealing with a leak at a local hotel), the local Lakelovers office was not able to give us any information about the situation, yet when we rang Unitied Utilities about it, they were able to give us a clearer idea about what was going on. The Ambleside Lakelovers staff said that they would bring water to our accommodation -- but they never did. We bought water from the local Tesco. Thankfully, the water supply returned later in the evening of the same day. There is one HUGE issue we have with Lakelovers. Your digital interface with customers is excellent; the website and the accommodation details are very clear. The problem is the almost complete lack of HUMAN INTERFACE with your cutomers. Trying to contact you by phone is almost impossible, and immensley frustrating. As the lady in the Ambleside office said to us after we tried to phone after the water-supply failure, the best thing to do is to come in person to the office -- but when customers have paid hundreds of pounds to you, this failure in communication is deeply discouraging and disappointing. The office staff cannot deal with bookings, or queries, or answer the phone, or help us in any way other than to arrange servicing for the accommodation. It is this failure of HUMAN INTERFACE with customers that makes us consider trying other holiday providers. We have phoned other Lake Distict holiday companies, and several have much better human interface than you do. When we have paid several hundred pounds, or over a thousand pounds, for a holiday in the Lakes, this leaves us feeling like sucker customers who are lttile more than fee-paying robots. In all other respects, we are very pleased with Lakelovers, and have been for years, but this failure in human interface makes us seriously consider changing provider.

There are walks in the immediate vicinity without using your car with all the surrounding fells easily accessible on foot, including Fairfield, Wansfell and Loughrigg.

For those wishing to tour the area, you will find Ambleside well-placed for visits to all parts of the Lake District and with Lake Windermere only a ten minute stroll away you can enjoy cruises or boat hire on England's largest lake.

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.

Note: There is a stair lift at this property, but it is not for public use
