“Fantastic location, lovely apartment (beds amazing, sofa uncomfortable).”

Had everything you need. Shame we had to speak to the Mountain Warehouse due to alarm going off right outside the car park bedroom. Initially they said it was the doors and ring the number on the box. Next time I did and the alarm company said they had no out of hours number for the company? Did alert Love Cottages who concluded that it’s an outside noise so not their issue (and nobody else had complained),, not really the response I expected after paying for a quality accommodation.

“This is a stylish, comfortable apartment in the heart of Ambleside and all it has to offer.”

However, people should be warned that, due to the proximity of the apartment to the centre of Ambleside and being between a main road and car park, it can be noisy at times. We were frequently woken up on weekday mornings at around 7.00am by delivery vans/lorries, the council sweeping machine, etc. One morning to was just after 6.00am. Also, there was sometimes significant noise from the apartment above - one evening it sounded as if they were dragging furniture around!! One more thing is that one of the showers was not working because the previous tenants had not reported it until the day they left. It took nearly a week for it to be fixed. Will we get any compensation for this? The telephone numbers on your information Email were also out of date, so perhaps the previous tenants could not get hold of anybody to report the shower problem. I hope the numbers have been updated.

The flat was very neat, clean and practical. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back!

“Directions to find property need updating.”

The restaurant adjoining the apartment has changed names so we drove past 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.
