Landower House

Excellent accommodation, property fittings and furniture to a high standard.

Overall we were very impressed with the quality of the accommodation.

The rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped and finished to a high standard. The house was well positioned for easy access to Ambleside town centre and the lakes. We are happy to recommend it and would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area.

We have just returned from a family holiday and this property is excellent .

The layout was great and the property was very well equipped. Location was amazing which helped to visit town centre, eat out and the park especially travelling with two small children. It maybe would be useful to install a couple of fans to the property especially when the weather is extreme and also a change of towels would be useful so you don’t need to have to wash and tumble them in the heat. Other than that we would definitely consider returning in the future.

absolutely superb holiday home every single thing you could think of was in this house we had such a great time that we booked for 2027 before our holiday was ended brilliant thanks very much

Landower House is a beautiful place to stay in the Lakes, we stayed there 5 years ago & the condition of it is exactly the same.

The house was immaculate. The location is perfect, amazing decor throughout, very spacious with everything you could ever want for your stay. I am very fortunate that my daughter was involved with the interior design of the property along with the local builder & his lovely family. Which makes it even more special to stay at the house with the family. We'll definitely be staying again.

Landower House is a beautiful home which was perfect for our family holiday.

The welcome pack with local produce is such a thoughtful touch. My grand daughter is age 8 months, and I would say it’s suitable for a baby- not a toddler unless you take your own stair gate. The house has everything a family would need with a fabulous kitchen/dining area. The bedrooms are outstanding. Each individual and 2 with huge bath tubs. The owners must be so proud of their cleaning team as the home was spotless. We didn’t use the laundry room, but I’m sure in winter months having access to a washing machine and tumble drier would be very welcome. It really is a fabulous home. Easy parking, lovely garden, with garden furniture and a 5 minute walk to centre of Ambleside. We would love to return!

Fabulously equipped, laid out and located venue.

The open plan kitchen dining and lounge space is better than in the photos and the four ensuites and bedrooms were also great. Parking is as described in the listing. Only very minor niggle is that it would be good to have clearer instruction on how to change the heating.

Of all the holiday lets I have stayed in - and there have been a great number - this is one of the best!

Spent a week here with my family and couldn’t fault it, true luxury, great social space and really well equipped.

This was our second stay at Landowner House.

We returned because we enjoyed it so much the first time. The facilities, the layout and cleanliness of the property, together with the convenient location for restaurants, shops and local walks, make it a perfect choice for our family holidays. The welcome pack was also a lovely touch. I'm sure we will return in the future.

Our 5th stay at this lovely property and it still doesn’t disappoint.

Great design and layout for a group and provides both privacy and socialising space. Well located and parking is a real bonus. Only issues concerned a lack of communication from Sykes taking on board agreed request for one room to be configured as a twin and a few maintenance issues with exterior lighting and underfloor heating that need attention but appreciate this often occurs as the years pass. Issue with the bedroom resolved very quickly so thanks to the owners and housekeeper for that. Already planning our 6th visit next year.

Great location and beautiful well equipped property love it !

Could do with outside lighting being repaired as very dark near the steps

The property is the perfect place to explore Ambleside and the surrounding area, walking distance to town centre.

The house is superbly appointed and everything we needed was there including a rather nice welcome pack. Beds were very comfortable and house setup was perfect for group of adults. Kitchen appliances were plentiful and all crockery in very good condition. House was lovely and warm and a great place to relax. Outside we were able to sit comfortably at the table and chat and have coffee. Overall would love to return for a future stay.

Landower is superbly appointed and fantastically equipped.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, Sykes/Lakelovers failed to respond adequately to reported issues.

I filled in the guest book at the property.

I’m happy for these comments to be published on line.

Landower is a wonderfully located property within walking distance of Ambleside.

It's very spacious for our family of 9 (this includes a baby). There were a couple of maintenance issues needing reviewed while we were there - an en-suite extractor fan not working & lighting in the same bedroom not working. The open plan living space is beautiful with a large amount of glazing but consequently creates an absolute oven during this very hot weather, so fans would have been much appreciated. The instructions for the house could be improved as we still have no idea how the heating operated - it came on despite 22°C weather. Overall a fabulous place and just those tiny bits need addressed to bring it up to the highest of standards.

A fantastic property in a great location.

Beds were very comfortable and showers were great. A welcome pack was a lovely touch thank you. The dining room chairs were very uncomfortable and too low for the table but apart from that everything else was perfect. Looking forward to returning in the future

Good location for the town.

Private parking. Everyone was comfortable with good bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. Main living area was big enough for all of us. Excellent holiday home.

Unfortunately the freezer did not appear to be working correctly resulting in us having to throw away some of the food we had brought with us.

Tried to call around lunchtime on Saturday but no reply or message service. Also the bin had not been emptied before we arrived so we had limited capacity. We took what we could home with is

Comfortable modern property with easy access to town.

Lovely modern property with perfect layout and nice views. Situated off main road but quiet and peaceful. Very well furnished with high spec furniture and equipped with every utensil needed available. Great outdoor space for relaxtion and a vino or two (south facing). Welcome pack very much appreciated. Enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recomend this property for a relaxing break.

Wonderful accommodation, everything you need for a comfortable stay provided.

The location of the property was perfect. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and only wished that our stay could have been longer! Would love to stay here again in the future.

Landower is a fantastic property with easy walk into Ambleside.

The property has everything you would need a few extra parts. Excellent value for money and decorated internally to an exacting high standard

We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Landower House.

The layout of the house was perfect for a group of 8. It was furnished to a very high standard, very well equipped and in a great location for walking into Ambleside and getting to other parts of the Lake District. One of the very best houses we have stayed in as a group over 21 years. Thank you.

Great quality all round.

Well kitted out. We've booked next year - that says it all! (hope you'll have us!).

A beautiful house, in a fantastic location, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We would definitely recommend. Just some little things we would like to make you aware of to help you further improve. 1. Outside the back door was crawling with ants. 2. The bin was 3/4 full when we arrived on Friday, despite refuse collection being Thursday. 3. Only one teaspoon for 8 people. 4. Only 2 champagne flutes for 8 people. 5. The instructions for the lighting and heating could be better explained. All of these things are noted to you constructively. Your house is gorgeous and we loved it Kind Regards The Collinson & Astil families

Our Annual family gathering in The Lake District, and back to Ambleside this year.

Landower is by far the best cottage we have stayed in, it fitted the bill perfectly. Luxurious bathrooms worthy of a very ‘posh’ hotel….beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds. Outside space to sit in the sunshine and have a drink. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack too, that was a really nice touch. Would love to return.

An absolutely fantastic holiday home in the most perfect location

Ideally located beautiful accommodating property with all amenities required to support a comfortable stay.

We had a wonderful family Easter with varied ages staying and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The centre of Ambleside was a 10 minute walk away with a variety of great places to eat . Definitely recommend The Tap Yard. We would definitely love to return.

Five star stay Amazing property had everything we needed for our stay.

Location is fantastic 5 minutes walk into town. Would love to come back

We travelled from Scotland for a get together with friends.

The house was perfect for four couples. Great location. No need to use our cars the entire time. Walking distance to lovely pubs and restaurants with great Lake District walks nearby. We have booked again for next year. My only tiny criticism is that it would be good if you provided decent size glasses for our G&Ts.

Stayed here for a weekend with friends and we were blown away , the location is perfect and the house was so clean and everything is quality and had a lovely welcome gift which was a lovely touch , cant recommend enough will certainly be back

This was a repeat visit with friends.

We love this house. It was so warm and comfortable in spite of the very cold weather. It’s well equipped and everything is of good quality, which we really appreciate. The bedrooms and en-suites are modern and very comfortable. Plenty of hot water! The house is a very sociable space to spend time with friends or family and is perfectly situated to not have to use a car once you’re there. Also plenty of parking.

A lovely property, one of the best we have stayed at in the Lake District -and we have been coming for over 50yrs.

Comfortable sofas(makes a change as some properties skimp om the sofas!) I enjoy cooking and there are excellent facilities/utensils/pans- you have thought of everything-it was like being at home, with everything we needed. Just one criticism, very minor -lack of good, sharp, cooking knives. Oh, and some of the light switches(dimmers) are tricky to switch off. Loved the location for our family as it is so convenient for Ambleside. Thank you.

Loved our stay here, will definitely be booking again.

The house is perfect. Ideally located to visit a lot of the Lake District by car or by the bus stop situated right outside the property, or by walking with Ambleside a less then 5 minute walk up the road. Fully equipped kitchen. Dining room was fine, including chairs. All bedrooms come with en suite. Everything you could need has been thought of; porch with coat racks and boot mats, toiletries in the bathrooms, a welcome hamper, privacy blinds all around the property, parking off the main and side road with electric charging point. However, as per previous reviews; TV channels were still messed up. Cleanliness wasn’t the best. No sign of hoovering in any of the bedrooms/ bathrooms, still signs of the previous visitors stay. The loud noise in the middle of the night, heard all around the house, coming from the loft and outside, only presume it’s a generator or water heater. So so loud. Great place! Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely week at Landower.

The open plan space was great for our little ones (we brought our own stair gate!). All the bedrooms were beautiful and the kitchen was well-appointed. Location was quiet and convenient. We also had to put some new batteries in the Hive thermostats to get the heating working (thank you to whoever mentioned that in a previous review!) but that was the only thing that was less than perfect. We’ve already booked to go back next year.

Just returned from a fabulous week at Landower House celebrating a significant birthday.

It is a lovely property with great living space and parking and just 5 minutes’ walk from Ambleside Centre. Although so close to cafes and bars, we found it to be very peaceful. We had a fantastic weather week and thoroughly enjoyed the outside patio area. The only downside was that the property could have be cleaned more thoroughly - particularly the fridge & bathrooms.

Fantastic place to stay and great location for exploring Ambleside on foot.

Cannot fault it.

Just got back from a lovely stay apart from the typical lakes weather.

The property in a good location, with good parking and five minutes from town. It has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and the ensuite bathrooms have fantastic showers. The linen and towels provided were good. Nice little touches were the welcome hamper and mini products in each bathroom. The property would benefit from a wi-fi extender as you could not get wi-fi in the lower master bedroom, but it wouldn't put me off coming back. Also, in the same bedroom, a light where the dressing table mirror is, as the light provided there didn't work. If you wish to explore further afield, without a car, there is a handy bus stop at the end of the road with a bus picking passengers up regularly. Some would say it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. Would I come back, yes definitely. :)

Fabulous property in a perfect location.

Absolutely everything catered for. Very ultra modern although some of the light switches took some figuring out. Would 100% recommend this property and can't wait to stay again.

The property is amazing has everything in it from comfortable beds to amazing showers/ baths and also great kitchen facilities for cooking.

We was blown away with how amazing and comfortable it was for all the family would definitely recommend. The location was great for good walks and places to eat and not far from Kendal, Windermere, Keswick etc.

I mentioned a few points to Lakelovers prior to leaving the property such as some dodgy dimmer switches, light not working inside front door/boot area and uncomfortable dining chairs.

The latter was particularly disappointing given that the chair issue was said to be addressed in the reviews we read before booking the property. That said, we had a super week, we thought the property was just lovely, superb location (no need to pay parking in Ambleside - yay!), ample equipment for cooking, comfortable beds and beautiful modern ensuite bathrooms throughout. We would look to book again. The electric car meters outside were an asset too. Thank you!

Lovely property in a great location with the bonus of parking for 4 vehicles.

We had issues with lack of heating and the maintenance team sorted it by changing the batteries in the controllers! Great to have a storage shed for bikes and well equipped house.

8 of us stayed at Landower House for my husband’s 60th birthday.

The property is beautiful with ample space for all of us and the location perfect for a short stroll into Ambleside. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

We loved it so much we have rebooked the same week for next year. We choose your house to celebrate my 50th birthday

The perfect house for a family celebration.

The best self catering property we have ever stayed in. Location and parking couldn’t be better. Gorgeous and comfy bedrooms and beautiful modern bathrooms. Lots of good comfortable seating in the lounge room. Lovely wood burner. Dining room was great for eating and playing games. Amazingly equipped kitchen. We will never stay anywhere else in the Lake District. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

What a fantastic house , well appointed and in an amazing position for a weekend in Ambleside .

The rooms are a very high standard comfortable and cosy . There is everything you could need in the kitchen especially as we were celebrating , plenty of plates, cups bowls and glasses for champagne . The stunning dining room with its beautiful windows and lighting provided a great backdrop for relaxed breakfasts and evening sharing platters . The hosts have really thought of everything . The sitting area was luxury, a wood burner with comfy chairs and couches a great place to sit round chat and relax . There was plenty of storage space, a fantastic porch with lots of coat hangers and room for boots and waterproofs.. We would definitely recommend staying here , the town centre is a short walk and we enjoyed shopping and eating and drinking in the local bars and restaurants. Hopefully we will make it back one day .

Excellent property.

Well positioned and wonderful for eight persons. We have been coming to the Lake District for the past 30 odd years and this rates top of our list. We have spent the last two New Years here.

Absolutely fabulous property we had such a wonderful time we’ve already booked for next year.

As a party of 8 over 50s we stay in the lakes this weekend every year and this is the best property we have stayed in 10/10 thank you

I have to say the accommodation and location was first class.

The house was very well equipped inside and very generous outside space for cars making it stress free for parking. Also would like to say the information/help provided by Lakelovers was brilliant.

Our return trip after February.

Just as fantastic much to commend. Great space for a few families to enjoy without being under each other’s feet. Kitchen the best equipped I have every come across. Location excellent on the edge of town.

Fantastic property.

Arguably 'over-specced' for a walking holiday. Beautifully finished and well-equipped. Loved it.

Wonderful accommodation, well equipped, beautifully decorated, luxury feel.

Beds were so comfortable. Excellent location to Ambleside, walking distance to shops and pubs. Bus stops at top of road going to various towns. A few suggestions to further enhance future stays; 1. Simple instructions for each control panel for heating. Day/Time wasn't correct on most panels so heating kicked in randomly and we struggled to adjust. 2. Dining chairs are too low for the table and make for uncomfortable eating 3. Additional towels would be welcomed 4. A door separating the living space and bedrooms would prevent noise travelling, we had 2 young children who were disturbed by the TV in the evenings even on a low volume. 5. Lastly, there was an unpleasant smell from the downstairs bathroom. This appears to have been well documented from the guest book in the property. Overall these issues did not impact our stay however for the price paid for, it would definitely have completed our stay and delivered value for money.

Absolutely beautiful property set in a central location to Ambleside with everything you need, feels like a home from home.

Couldn’t fault the property at all! Stunning and think we will be returning in the future. Thank you for an incredible stay.

The best holiday home!

Only issue is the weeds growing outside on patio

Some towel rails were not working which was frustrating having damp towels Electrics were a bit complex Some more mugs would be appreciated You need to sort the dining room chairs - thick seat cushions would do the trick For a high end let having to strip all the beds, sort the towels, empty the bins and wash up all the dishes to leave an empty dishwasher felt a bit much to be honest

Could do with the front area's weeding and sweeping up leaves etc, keep up apperances, so to speak!

And the dining room chaires are very low!, very minor points, overall the house was pefect for our holiday for 8 adults

Can’t fault Landower House , almost perfect, Very clean on arrival, ample parking, Heating and lighting all worked Mayb a medium size frying pan would be useful Dining room chairs very nice but very low , too low to sit at the table without sitting on cushions !

Unfortunately all the Tv channels were messed up had to call Lakelovers who swiftly sent somebody round , bit still need setting up correctly in the lounge . Booked again for November , ideal for us as a family

This is a very well presented property and contained everything you need for a wonderful and very comfortable stay.

We arrived to a lovely welcome card and box of goodies from The Lakes. I can honestly say this is probably the best rental we have stayed in over 35 years of visiting the area. If you want convenience for shops, pubs, restaurants, walks from the door, easy and convenient parking, this is the place. Although it is down a small street, opposite Cumbrian University student halls, you are still able to admire a view of the fells from the super outdoor dining table which, pleasingly had plenty of seating for all of us whilst enjoying lovely sunny evenings. Two minor points for improvement would be, the dining room chairs which are too low for the table and the availability of a stair gate would be an additional benefit for families with small children. We would not hesitate to return.

Loud knocking from downstairs radiator disturbed sleep during the night - we fixed it by turning the radiators off but needs resolving.

Property not super clean. Otherwise fantastic.

All I can say is wow!

The house was just perfect in every way. The quality of everything from bedding to kitchen equipment was excellent. The welcome pack was lovely too. Best property we have stayed in ever! Thank you

Fantastic facilities, very high spec interior fittings.

Excellent location so cars not needed as easy walk to the village and many walks from the door. We had a small issue with flooding in downstairs bathroom which was dealt with very speedily by Lakelovers maintenance team. Highly recommended holiday home.

Excellent property.

We have been coming to the Lake District for new year for over 20 years and have never been in a property so well equipped. There was plenty of room and the bathrooms were great. We had a fab holiday despite the weather. Many thanks.

The chairs for the dining room table are to low.

Not the most comfortable eating experience.

exceptionally well appointed and fitted out property.

Great location close to town centre but with direct access to numerous walks.

Landower house has been built in an amazing way for a family holiday yet giving privacy for all 4 adult couples with having all ensuite bedrooms.

The finish and facilities are great, we were not short of anything! We enjoyed sitting out in the garden area and the convenience of Ambleside centre being only a few minutes walk away was ideal. We would definitely recommend Landower and would love to return one day,

We had a brilliant week away staying in this beautiful house the furnishings were gorgeous, the garden was lovely with perfect amount of outdoor chairs and the parasol was a great touch!

Short stroll into Ambleside with amazing amount of shops, pubs and restaurants for everyone. We had a little toddler with us and the house was very well equipped for a small child too. Overall had a wonderful holiday with great weather. Definitely will be back to Ambleside next year!

Great location, easy access to town, shops and country walks.

The house is lovely, very well equipped and clean. There was an issue with the fire alarm on our arrival but this was sorted very promptly and professionally. Would visit again and recommend it to friends and family.

Fantastic accomodation and lovely and clean

Amazing accomodation inside.

However, the car park view was left off the property photos and we wonder if there are plans to grow some kind of trees/bushes to hide this view. It did let the property down somewhat. There was no shelter whatsoever provided for sitting outside on the outdoor furniture. We were very lucky with the weather but really needed at least a parasol or some sort of awning to provide shade.
