“Really lovely house in a great position.”

Only issue was the heating which presume was being controlled remotely

Only issue was the heating which presume was being controlled remotely

- Claire, December 2021

We have investigated the heating, the timer for the heating had reset itself and so was not heating the property at the correct times. This has been reset and the house is nice and warm! If you have any problems please contact Lakelovers and they can sort it out quickly. The heating is not controlled remotely, there is a thermostat on the first floor landing which can be adjusted and all the radiators have controls. And of course the fire can always be used to keep the downstairs cosy at all times. Property Owner

“Overall very pleasant and clean accommodation with everything you might need for our stay.”

Very cold on arrival due to the heating being set to certain times with no facility to boost. Could do with updating tvs in the properties but that’s a minor downside.

“Lovely well equipped little house.”

Well situated. A parasol is needed. Also, it’s very difficult to get hold of the team by phone and there isn’t an out of hours number.

- Sandra, July 2021

We send out all contact information prior to your stay and we are available on 01539488855 from 9am - 8pm.

If you dial the same number it will direct you to the out of hours team where you can leave a voicemail and the team will call you back to help with your emergency. Hopefully we can welcome you back in the future and you have smoother contact. Property Owner

“Loved the house - so spacious and all so functional, nicely furnished with wonderful attention to details and exactly in Ambleside center!”

Would love to stay here again! The only issue was related to the agency and not the accommodation itself. My check-in was on Friday after 4pm. I received an email around 12pm informing me that one of the ovens was not working and it will be repaired in due course. Sure, no problem, I didn't really intend to use it anyway. Surprisingly though, some showed up announced to repair it on Monday. They haven't fixed it as they were missing a part. I sent an email complaining about not being informed someone was coming over and requested to be informed before they were back. My email was received rather coldly but that's life. The following day though, I have received a call to confirm the next appointment - all ok and also confirmed the time slot. They rang the bell when they arrived but I wasn't fast enough it seems and again surprisingly, they were trying to enter with their own key as apparently they've been told to do so - this has never been cleared with me so please imagine my reaction. Long story short, the oven has been repaired so the next guest could have fully used it but the customer service skills from LL contact center might need a bit more polishing I think.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback following your stay at Malvern. We are glad to hear you had a great week and enjoyed the property. We are sorry to hear you found the customer service below standard. We are continuously striving to improve our service so we appreciate your honesty. We are sorry that you were not prompted that someone would be attending Monday morning to resolve the issue with the oven. When things go wrong we aim to try and get them rectified as soon as possible to ensure guest satisfaction and prompting our visit with a call seems would have improved this situation. We have taken your comments on board and hopefully in the future our service will be of higher standard. We are glad you otherwise had a great week in the Lakes. Property Owner

“Centrally located in Ambleside yet not noisy.”

Easy to walk to pubs, cafes, shops, bus stops or further afield. Great vegan cafe in Ambleside called Gandhi's. Buses are easy to catch. Lovely walk to Waterhead or Grassmere.

Beautifully refurbished and presented to contemporary 4 star standards, with spacious open plan living space and 3 stylish double bedrooms, Malvern provides an excellent base for family, couples or friends. Relax together, take scenic walks from your doorstep, or stroll to the shores of Lake Windermere to take a cruise from Waterhead Pier. While you're only a stone's throw from cosy pubs, cafe culture and acclaimed Lake District restaurants in Ambleside, you'll also enjoy sociable meals at home. A contemporary fitted kitchen and casual dining area are open to the living room - well-lit and warmed by a gas woodburning stove. Balmy summer evenings will be well spent with a drink or two in the pretty rear yard. == Accommodation in detail Parking permit provided for central Ambleside.

The top floor is dedicated to a further king-size bedroom and luxury wet room including double-ended bath. Outside is a pretty and well-furnished yard, and a seating area at the front of the cottage. Location Ambleside village takes a scenic location off the northern shores of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake. With a backdrop of dramatic fells and picturesque countryside, the village is a popular base for walking in the Lake District. But if you don't plan to take the the fells, you'll find plenty to entertain you in this vibrant village community. Explore contemporary shopping streets and high quality cafes, tempting delicatessens and acclaimed Lake District restaurants such as The Glass House - within a beautifully converted saw mill. Ambleside also has two cinemas; Fellinis Vegetarian Restaurant and Studio Cinema, and Zeffirellis Cinema, Pizzeria and Jazz Bar. Stroll a short distance from the village centre to Waterhead Pier, on the shores of Lake Windermere. There you'll find several excellent eateries overlooking the lake, and the famous Lake Windermere steamers departing regularly from the pier. These memorable cruises provide a car-free route to Bowness and Lakeside - a great way to explore. Evening cruises with buffet meals and live music are also available - check the website for sailing times. Touring the Lake District is easy from Ambleside's central location on the A591. This road leads south towards family attractions in Bowness, the Troutbeck Valley and dramatic Kirkstone Pass, or north past idyllic Rydal Water to Grasmere - home of William Wordsworth. Hawkshead village and Beatrix Potter's home are also within very easy reach.

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.

Please note this property has a zip link bed. This will be made as a twin by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a super king.
