“Back garden could do with some attention as well as the back door steps and the whirlie for hanging out the washing.”
The house was very comfortable and clean and we would return again.
Thank you for your feedback Mrs Sime.
We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner. They have taken on board the points you have raised and a new washing line will be replaced as soon as possible
Thank you once again for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Mount Sol

Location
With its stunning backdrop of Windermere lake shore and Lakeland Fells, Ambleside is a beautiful place to spend a Lake District holiday. The village centre is full of character, scattered with attractive historic buildings but also well-served with contemporary shops and endless enticing eateries.
Walks begin in almost every direction, and as Ambleside is a popular base for walking in the Lake District, you'll find route advice on hand in expert shops and Ambleside tourist information centre.
Just a stroll away from the village centre is Waterhead Pier, on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. Enjoy a drink or a meal overlooking the lake at the Wateredge Inn, or take an elegant lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside - a great way to explore car-free! Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly, and also offer evening cruises.
Ambleside is full of history. The tiny 'Bridge House' is one of the most photographed buildings in the area; teetering on a bridge in the middle of the village. Ambleside also has a Roman fort, Galava. One of William Wordsworth's former family homes can be visited nearby at Rydal Mount & Gardens. His Grasmere home, Dove Cottage, is also open to the public and only a short drive away on the A591.

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.
