“Overall, we had a lovely week staying at Red Screes, and were sorry to leave.”
Like all accommodation, there were some things we really liked, and some things that could have been better.
The good:
The front three rooms in the flat are lovely, really nice and bright. The location is excellent - most of the central and southern Lake District is an easy drive and the centre of Ambleside is a short, easy walk. The bed was very comfy and the shower was powerful and hot. We really liked having the balcony as a bit of outside space makes the flat much more homely. We had worried it would be noisy, but it’s actually nice and peaceful.
The not-so-good:
The standard of cleaning was not what we’d expect. The kitchen floor was dirty, there was food on the worktops around the hob, there were cobwebs and spiders in many corners in the master bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Towels were a bit tired and two were stained with black and pink flecks of something or other. There are also some maintenance issues with the property: none of the top sashes of the windows close properly, and have a gap at the top which was not an issue for us in June but might be a problem in colder weather. There were also signs of damp around the windows and shutters. The bathroom had a strong smell of mildew in our first day, which thankfully dissipated a bit over the week. The owners have obviously put a lot of put a lot of money and effort into the furnishing and decoration of the property, but the fabric of the building needs some attention to bring it to a similar standard.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you were able to ejoy the location, beds and the balcony.
We are sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the property let down your stay. We will ensure that your comments are passed onto the relevant teams.
