“The only downside was the bed.”

Being a thin slatted base it didn’t feel like it was suitable for a bigger person. So I spent the week sleeping in the lounge so not to damage the bed

- Joanne, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we can confirm the bed has now been replaced with a custom hand made bed Property Owner

“We had expected a higher quality cottage for the money paid - it was not worth the £800 +, in fact in our opinion and experience £400 would have been about right.”

The furnishings are tired and general cleanliness not very good. We were not able to use the dishwasher since it was not possible to properly close the door. A retaining bracket is incorrectly fitted and stops the door closing. How was this missed by inspection? Had previous customers had the same problem? Good location for local walks. Kitchen equipment good and plentiful. Overall we were very disappointed with quality and cost. We will not be considering (or recommending) LakeLovers/Sykes cottages for future holidays.

“Proximity, parking, facilities, quietness.”

“House is in excellent location and facilities within are quite good.”

Big issue for us was noise in the bedroom. Insulation between flats is very poor and we had noisy late night neighbours in our first week which kept us awake. Also, terrible noise when toilets in other flats were flushed or showers were used and water was refilling. Carpets could have been cleaner and vacuum cleaner in house had nozzle with no instruction how to put other head on. Would not be returning to this property because of the noise.

“Disappointed that there’s no option to recycle anything.”

“Electric vehicle car charging facilities should be available in the property ...”

Electric vehicle car charging facilities should be available in the property search criteria list, and it was disappointing that the property did not provide the ability to recycle waste products

“The location was brilliant!”

A few minutes walk from all the lovely shops, cafes and restaurants made life very easy. We were able to do a lot of good walks/hikes straight from our front door so we only used the car twice in the whole week which was great. The charge point was a real bonus too.

“The apartment was ideal for two people, very comfortable and tastefully furnished.”

The location was within easy reach of the shops and bus stop, we used the bus several times. The weather was beautiful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the bottle of wine and the biscuits were most welcome.

The property

Within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside village, Koru at Ambleside is an elegant, sophisticated and romantic retreat for two. Taking its name from the New Zealand Maori symbol for new life, growth, strength and peace, Koru At Ambleside is the ideal retreat to relax and enjoy the beauty and adventure that is waiting to be discovered in the Lake District. This ground floor apartment has a spacious lounge with cosy log burning stove and balcony with kitchen to the side, a queen size bedroom and ensuite bathroom. With an array of walks from the door, enjoy the popular vistas from Loughrigg Fell and Wansfell, follow the river Rothay through the valley and the lakeshore paths beside Rydal Water and Grasmere. If it's the high fells that appeal then there are challenges aplenty. Returning to the village, Ambleside offers a great selection of local bars, cafes and restaurants that are busy all year round. Great local shops, welcoming village pubs and a choice of cinemas make Ambleside one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Lake District. == Accommodation in detail Forming part of a Victorian Gentleman's residence, Koru at Ambleside is a larger than expected ground floor apartment. From the stone porch the front door opens to the hallway, which leads to the elegant sitting room with comfortable sofa and armchairs arranged around the cosy multi fuel stove. In front of the large bay window, complete with the original working shutters, is a dining table making it the ideal spot for a romantic dinner for two. The tall period windows open to a small balcony with chairs and views over the roof tops to Loughrigg Fell. The beautiful bedroom is a welcome retreat at the end of the day with a comfortable king-size bed. The en suite bathroom is well appointed with bath with shower over, basin and WC. At the end of the hallway there is a small drying room. There is a dedicated parking space for one car and even an electric car charging socket.

The neighboring property has scaffolding on the outside until Monday 27th June doing Balcony remedial work. Please bear this in mind upon booking.

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.
