“Everything was wrong, upon arrival there were 2 recycle boxes on the wall they had not been emptied for some time, apparently one plastic bottle in with the glass container and there was a note left saying as much and would not empty said boxes.”
The settee was so uncomfortable, so deep that it was impossible to sit comfy, a footstool or pouffe would have helped, low wattage so it took all day to recharge anything, WiFi was very hit or miss, bathroom could do with a good bleaching, upside down light switches, older people must be aware that the staircase is quite narrow and no hand rail, just the bannister on one side. Bedroom window closer is broken, hence cannot close the window,. We felt it was so so claustrophobic and dark, and at times felt as if we were in a goldfish bowl, as folk were gawping in, and on show all the time, no privacy as the footpath was immediately outside the front window. Finally the traffic noise was horrendous, we did not appreciate that it was the main road in or out of Ambleside, from 6am til, 10pm it was exceptionally noisy. Sorry, but would not recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the cottage did not meet your expectations. The recycling boxes do not belong to Kirkstone Cottage, they belong to the neighbour and should not have been left on the wall. The Wi-fi can be intermittent in rural areas unfortunately. The wattage in the cottage is the same as any other property. The property is in the centre of Ambleside as described and as the Lake District is busier than normal this year, unfortunately some traffic noise is unavoidable. Please be assured that any other comments will be taken into account and resolved if necessary.
