“Reasonable property in a great location.”
When you first walk into the property it looks amazing, but after you’ve stayed a couple of nights, you notice the issues flagged in previous reviews and that updates that are needed. The house and garden needs a bit of TLC and general maintenance, particularly in the bathrooms. In the main bathroom, water leaks out the corner of the shower screen (even after positioning the shower head to point away from it). There’s a big patch of water damage on the landing carpet because of it, which will eventually become a bigger problem for the owner if not sorted. The left tap on the sink is also loose and falls off. In the master bedroom en-suite, the same problem with the shower screen, plus the toilet roll holder falls down and needs tightening up. The downstairs shower is the best option, but the pedal bin in there needs replacing as lid is no longer attached to the bin. In the master bedroom the curtains are very thin and the light pours through, and the curtains in all of the bedrooms are a bit ill-fitting. The kitchen is well-equipped, but most items needed washing before use as they weren’t left clean and obviously hadn’t been checked. The living rooms were both fine, but sofas could be better, a spring is poking up into the seat on one of them. The garden was the biggest disappointment, it needs a tidy up and the furniture needs replacing - it’s completely covered in rust and no cushions are provided. The location is fantastic though and the biggest plus, an easy downhill walk to the centre of Ambleside and Stock Ghyll Force - which you can also hear from the garden! All in all we would recommend staying here, but the owners really need to go round the house and take the feedback provided by everybody on board, if they want the house to be as nice as it has the potential to be.
Thank you for your detailed feedback.
We will ask our Maintenance Team and Housekeeping Team to look on at the issues raised.
We take all of your comments on board.
