“Toaster is broken Stairs to apartment need a good scrub, and some form of outside lighting for health and safety reasons.”

Apartment is beautiful, although chilly even with heating permanently on. All in all a lovely stay

Steven October 2023

“Great place to stay, very close to town centre.”

Lovely bedrooms one ensuite. Large well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room. Parking was a bit tight due to work in adjacent property. Toaster was broken but apart from that it was a very relaxing stay.

- Steven, October 2023
Howard October 2023

“Super accommodation, great location.”

Two minor negatives, no lighting on access stairs, bathroom door didn’t latch completely.

- Howard, October 2023
Joanne September 2023

“It was a bit noisy with the pub over the road but still had a good nights sleep.”

Shame no outside space to use to sit outside especially as the weather was super during our stay. Would book this cottage again

- Joanne, September 2023
Louisa August 2023

“Really great property, we had a brilliant stay here.”

Spacious, really well equipped and beautifully decorated, great beds and bathrooms, and little touches like having a bluetooth speaker were really appreciated. Definitely will be staying again.

- Louisa, August 2023
Lara May 2023

“Brilliant accommodation.”

Lovely bright rooms. All amenities catered for . Perfectly situated in the centre of town but very quiet. Definitely we would stay again

- Lara, May 2023
Helen May 2023

“Excellent property, really enjoyed our stay.”

Little bit noisy at the weekend but not too bad. Would definitely stay again.

- Helen, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We will take your comments into account. We hope to welcome you again soon. The owner relations team - Lakes Cottage Holidays Property Owner
Gwyn April 2023

“Excellent property, centrally located and well maintained.”

The only issue was recycling instructions needed to be clearer as we are not from the area. Also it needed to be clearer as to where parking was located i.e. entrance between two buildings on the road a bit vague and the height of the fire escape to the property as some older people would struggle

- Gwyn, April 2023
Evie April 2023

“Loughrigg was the perfect little getaway with a beautiful view of the peaks and a lovely modern decor.”

It was almost perfect, the only drawback was the noise from the pub opposite the road which continued until 1am in the morning. Of course, I understand that the owners cannot prevent this, but a little forewarning to bring ear plugs to hide the noise or even earplugs provided by the owners would have been appreciated as it was quite disruptive for sleeping. That said, my friends and I had a lovely stay here and it was the perfect location for everything we had planned over our weekend stay. I would definitely recommend it to those visiting the Lakes!

- Evie, April 2023
Allan September 2022

“Just the loviest of properties a home from home but better than home!”

Wanted for nothing in the ideal position for exploring Ambleside and the surrounding area.

- Allan, September 2022
Joanna May 2022

“Really lovely property, handy for centre of town but with equally handy parking too.”

Would recommend for couples but probably not for families as it was noisy at night, bedrooms are opposite a pub.

- Joanna, May 2022
Karen April 2022

“Great location and a lovely flat, decorated and furnished really nicely.”

There was a plumber there replacing the boiler when we arrived - not really too much of an issue, we were able to leave our bags and head out until he was finished - however he did say that we should have been informed that check-in would be a little late, but we didn't receive a call or an email from Sykes. It's a pity that the finish of the workmanship was a little 'shoddy' the en-suite door didn't shut properly as the latch is fitted the wrong way around, and the door is so squeaky that it wakes everyone else if you need to use during the night! The bulbs in the living room lights must be the wrong type, as the dimmer switch doesn't work, and whoever painted the bedroom doors managed to get paint all over the handles! We had a great stay, and none of the above was a problem, but thought I'd mention so owners were aware.

- Karen, April 2022
Nigel February 2022

“Amazing property and probably one of the best I have stayed in.”

It would be helpful if the parking spaces were actually labelled for the individual properties. I appreciate we had an issue with my guest parking in the wrong space, but a name plaque on the wall would make it clear, which space was allocated to which property.

- Nigel, February 2022
John December 2021

“Lovely property, very spacious and central location.”

Would definitely book there again.

- John, December 2021
Siobhan October 2021

“Excellent property, great location and accurate listing.”

Clean and spacious flat ideal for visiting Ambleside and the Lakes with convenient shops and restaurants all nearby.

- Siobhan, October 2021
Samantha July 2021

“We had a lovely time, the apartment was in a great central location in Ambleside and was modern, comfortable and clean.”

Would definitely visit again. Only negative was the cleaner who appeared at 9.50am and rudely told us we should have been out for 9am (which seemed very early to me!) Wouldn’t have minded had she been polite about the situation but she was rude and matter of fact! Took great pleasure in showing her our paperwork which clearly said depart for 10am! I suggested she speak to Sykes who had provided us with documentation as we’d have been out before 10am had that been the case. Other than her rudeness which annoyed us all, we all had a great time.

- Samantha, July 2021
Vicki July 2021

“The apartment has all been redecorated to a high standard would definitely stay again need to update pictures”

- Vicki, July 2021
Siobhan June 2021

“The bath towels were a bit scarce”

- Siobhan, June 2021
Jill May 2021

“Had a great time in this very well equipped apartment.”

The location is central to all amenities and the parking space was a great bonus (if a little snug). The apartment exceeded expectations and the photos don't do it justice. Would definitely recommend and will stay again on our next trip to the Lakes. The steps need care when wet.

- Jill, May 2021
David October 2020

“Very nice good sized central apartment with many walks and facilities from the door.”

Appreciated the smart TV, Jaccuzi bath and well fitted out kitchen. However some things need attention. The en-suite toilet was moving when you sat on it so we didn’t use this one. The sink in there was blocked with hair and black gunk and would not drain until I cleared it out. Yuk. The microwave turntable didn’t work so we couldn’t use it. The towels provided were also a bit parsimonious.

- David, October 2020
Susan October 2020

“Lovely, comfortable apartment, very well equipped and in a central location.”

Only one thing to complain about and that was water pressure when running a bath.

- Susan, October 2020
Clare August 2020

“Absolutely fantastic accommodation!”

Extremely spacious and well equipped and right in the heart of Ambleside. Just come back from a week there with two adults and two grown up children and there was plenty room for all. Will definitely book again

- Clare, August 2020
Stephen December 2019

“Cottage was lovely and i think the pictures 'undersold' it.”

It was warm, clean and in a brilliant location. Facilities great too. What could you do better? There were a surprising number of light bulbs out (6) - so this has not been checked/rectified for a while... Many thanks Steve and Jacquie

- Stephen, December 2019
Virginia July 2019

“We were very impressed when entering the property, the rooms were spacious and the finish to the decor and decoration was excellent.”

Everything had been thought of and it was like a home from home - but better! The spa bath was an unexpected treat, the beds were extremely comfortable and the cleanliness was impeccable. Even the music/chat at night from the bar opposite did not bother us, it couldn't be helped and our host had provided a box of earplugs anyway - we slept very well. All in all it was a gorgeous property in a beautiful location - we had an amazing time.

- Virginia, July 2019
Jennie May 2019

“Extremely noisy due to the bar opposite which had bands on until late on sat and Sunday night and tues night.”

Considering leaving early because it’s been so bad. The metal staircase is not suitable for the elderly or people with small children. Very nice inside but wouldn’t cool again due to the noise

Albert April 2019

“We were pleasantly surprised at the central location, and despite other reviews access to car parking was not an issue, although narrow.”

You do need to be able to climb stairs though The flat was larger than we'd anticipated, well laid out, clean and well equipped. Comfy beds too, and sun streaming through the windows. And a great view from the lounge We had that rarity in Cumbia in April - a week of sun, so thanks for arranging that... We will be booking again, maybe for 2 weeks!

- Albert, April 2019
Paul October 2018

“The apartment was large with plenty of room for the four of us.”

It was immaculately clean with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. It's in a brilliant location, very central for the town. Only downside was a couple of drawers in bedroom needed repairing and some late night noise from lily bar across the road but we would definitely stay again.

- Paul, October 2018
Christine October 2018

“Fantastic location, well equipped appartment.”

Only downside - could hear noisy people in the flat next door from time to time quite late, but did not spoil our stay.

- Christine, October 2018
Susan October 2018

“Very clean well-equipped apartment in excellent location in middle of town.”

Slightly noisy at times due to traffic and parking space a bit tight.

- Susan, October 2018
Sarah September 2018

“Loughrigg View was a great holiday cottage for our recent trip to Ambleside.”

Location was perfect for all the shops and facilities in the heart of Ambleside. It did however mean that there was noise from the main road outside, it didn’t however cause too much disruption. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need and more, we will certainly be back!

- Sarah, September 2018
Tony July 2018

“It was a really good apartment, and all as described.”

A small welcome pack (milk etc. would have been nice, most cottages we have rented included this. It may be worth pointing out in the description that the apartment is on a busy junction with quite a bit of road noise, and is opposite a bar (The Lilly) which is open very late and pretty noisy if you have the windows open in summer

- Tony, July 2018
Ceri May 2018

“Only that it is not clear in description about the 23 outside metal steps up to the property.”

The property would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues . Even somebody with bad knees would struggle.

- Ceri, May 2018
Graham April 2018

“Pleased with the property.”

Good location. Comfortable and clean. Well equipped kitchen. Only annoying thing was the kitchen units' plinth kept falling off!

- Graham, April 2018
Mr Harris March 2018

We went for a mixture of walks and relaxation and were not disappointed.Would recommend this apartment very highly.

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.
