    “When we arrived at the cottage the lights were all on and the under floor heating in the lounge was on we couldn’t switch it off.”

    I phoned the number in the information book and was told that they were extremely busy and to leave my number and they would get back to me. I am still waiting no reply. We were concerned about your cleaners as the floors were dirty. When we returned back to cottage twice there was a cleaners car parked in our space and not working in the area. Unfortunately not up to Sykes standard.

    We are sorry you encountered any problem with your stay in Kirkstone Cottage. Although you say you left a voicemail message with Sykes office they do not have any record of it. The other phone number in the information book is the owners personal mobile number and they could have been contacted anytime. The car you discovered parked outside Kirkstone Cottage had no connection with this property and presumably was visiting a neighbouring cottage close by? It is always difficult to rectify any issues after your stay and we would have been happy to assist you during your holiday had we known of your concerns. David and Julia Property Owner

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.
