“The accommodation is ideally set for exploring Ambleside and the greater Lakes area and it was lovely hearing the stream nearby, however it's not the easiest to find once you're in the development (which is set beyond some residential properties) so a map of the development would help and although a short walk to town, it is via very steep hills, so not ideal for elderly, frail or those with mobility issues.”
Luckily we're a family with youngish children so it was fine but with the only toilets downstairs (it's upside down accommodation), steep hills to/from town, and a steep climb to unit from car and steps, it should be listed as limited to those with good mobility.
The balcony could only realistically comfortably fit two children or one adult, which was disappointing when the accommodation is available for six people, which there was in our party.
The balcony, entrance steps and balcony had not been cleaned in ages, there were visible cobwebs along curtain railings etc and the en-suite bathroom although large and modern, needed a refresh in the shower. Otherwise it was generally comfortable, clean and light accommodation with a spacious lounge, it was just the attention to detail cleaning which was lacking, which was surprising in current circumstances.
However, good facilities, space and lovely location.
Thank for your feedback. We're sorry that you found the balcony too small and the walk to the apartment too steep. However, I believe that the description and photographs clearly show these details and people with mobility issues can see that it would not be suitable. As the accommodation is upside down living, both toilets are downstairs near the bedrooms but lots of properties only have toilets upstairs. Again, this is clearly detailed in the photographs and description. Issues over the outside cleaning have been taken up with Heart of the Lakes/Sykes. I am glad that overall you felt the accommodation and facilities were good and in a lovely location. Property Owner
