    “Good points: The property is in a great location.”

    Couldn't be bettered for access to Ambleside village centre. Its very quiet in the area and we had no issue with noise and were able to sleep with the windows open without an issue. It's surprisingly spacious inside, with four well appointed bathrooms/en-suites serving 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and wanted for nothing. The property was very clean throughout. Bad points: Despite it being advertised as having on street parking for one car, this is not the case. What's available ...

    Couldn't be bettered for access to Ambleside village centre. Its very quiet in the area and we had no issue with noise and were able to sleep with the windows open without an issue. It's surprisingly spacious inside, with four well appointed bathrooms/en-suites serving 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and wanted for nothing. The property was very clean throughout. Bad points: Despite it being advertised as having on street parking for one car, this is not the case. What's available are 2 permits to park cars in local car parks. This resulted in us having to spend far too much time driving around several car parks trying to find spaces and after finally succeeding late in the day as a couple of spaces became available, we then had to walk a distance back to the property. This was very frustrating, Be warned!! Other than the bathrooms and en-suites, the decoration in the property is a little tired and scruffy and could do with refurbishing. There was no complimentary tea/coffee etc, or toiletries in the bathrooms/en-suites. These are the little touches that which in our experience are very common in rentals like this and make a big difference. Summary: The property was in a great location, clean, spacious and well equipped. The bathrooms and en-suites were very nice. Elsewhere, it could do with 'a lick of paint' to tidy it up, to bring it up to a better standard. The biggest issue was the lack of on street parking. This needs to be addressed, or at least make it clear that this isn't an option.

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.
