“The best holiday home!”

“Some towel rails were not working which was frustrating having damp towels ...”

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

“Only issue is the weeds growing outside on patio”

- Terry, June 2022

“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

“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.

“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

“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.

- Richard, September 2021
Chris September 2021

“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.

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.

Highchair and cot provided, please bring own cot linen. No stairgate at the property
