    “Very disappointing.”

    I can only reiterate other reviews about this property. Firstly noticeable is the damp, musty smell in the bedrooms, good ventilation helped after about 24 hours, smell wasn't as obvious, but these rooms must be damp somewhere. The decorations are just awful, at least 2 of the kitchen cupboards don't close, most of the internal doors don't, the sofa needs replacing. The whirlpool bath doesn't work properly, it's uncomfortable, the dead sea flakes are not supplied as instructed on the leaflet in ...

The whirlpool bath doesn't work properly, it's uncomfortable, the dead sea flakes are not supplied as instructed on the leaflet in the bathroom. The garden, whilst it is enclosed for dogs, is not accessible from the house, meaning dogs have to be taken on a leash to the gate from the side door. It really is such a shame, the bungalow could be lovely, but it needs a serious upgrade. I hope I haven't wasted my time writing this review, because clearly no one has taken any notice of reviews that have gone before.

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.
