    “I enjoyed my stay at Little Hart Crag, which is in a great location within easy reach of the lake and Ambleside itself.”

    The apartment is a good size, clean and had all the amenities you need. I didn't experience any major issues while staying there but there are two things I would comment on. As another reviewer mentioned, there is a damp smell in the bedroom which is not very pleasant.

    The apartment is a good size, clean and had all the amenities you need. I didn't experience any major issues while staying there but there are two things I would comment on. As another reviewer mentioned, there is a damp smell in the bedroom which is not very pleasant. Another thing to note is when it rains (as it often does in Cumbria) the road immediately outside the flat floods and passing traffic (the property is right in the road) sprays water on the front door and windows, which is both loud and problematic when returning and leaving. Not sure if anything can be done about that, but guests should be mindful of this during the rainy season. Other than those two things, the apartment was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone needed a well-located stay in Ambleside for hiking in the hills.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide us some feedback. The owner will be able to see your comment and so can assess the issues. It is unfortunate about the road but as suggested, there is not much that can be done. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and all that the area has to offer.

The property

Little Hart Crag is a charming ground-floor apartment with private parking and Smart TVs in Ambleside, Cumbria. The apartment is ideal for a couple or a lone traveller, and it's just a short walk from Ambleside's town centre, where you'll find all you need for a well-deserved self-catered holiday. When you go into the apartment, you'll see an open-plan living area with a kitchen, a dining area for two, and a sitting area with a warming electric stove. Prepare your meals in the kitchen, which includes a dishwasher to save you time with the dishes, before dining at the table while planning your trips activities. Turn on the fireplace and settle into the sofa to watch a movie on the television. Return to the property after a day of touring the neighbourhood and unwind with a hot shower and a warm towel from the rail. Make your way down the stairs and straight up another set when sleep beckons, and you'll discover a sumptuous king-size bed with a Smart TV opposite for sleepy mornings, and storage to unpack your items in your home-away-from-home. With so much to see and do in the region, be sure to see Stock Ghyll Force's cascading falls before taking a leisurely stroll around Borrans Park and having a picnic. History buffs may visit the Roman Fort in Ambleside or enjoy the grandeur of the National Trust's Wray Castle, which is close by and has well-kept grounds. Hill Top, a lovely farmhouse that was originally the home of Beatrix Potter, and Sizergh, a 14th-century mansion and estate, are both part of the National Trust and within easy reach by car. Fans of literature could pay a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction to see Peter Rabbit and his companions, while passionate golfers should spend a day at Windermere Golf Club. If you're looking for something a bit unusual to do while you're in the region, drive to Lakeland Maze Farm Park or visit the intriguing Puzzling Place. Whatever you like to do while on holiday, Little Hart Crag and the Lake District have plenty to offer, all while being surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
