“We first stayed in this apartment several years ago and witnessed it getting more and more shabby and dated until we finally decided to stay elsewhere during our yearly visit to the Lakes.”

Then last year we saw it had been given a makeover presumably by new owners. We decided to give it another go as we like the accommodation and it’s in a good location. We were so impressed by the makeover and had a real feeling that the owners seem to really care that their guests have a comfortable stay.

- Gail, May 2022

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really enjoy the property ourselves and want our guests to have a great experience, it means a lot to us to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are looking forward to having you back in the coming years! Property Owner

“Red Screes is a lovely cottage and in an ideal location for popping into Ambleside as well as for numerous walks directly from the cottage.”

We have stayed in a few places in Ambleside and rate this as the best. We plan to return to Red Screes next year.

“Great holiday apartment.”

Loads of room, clean and well equipped, in a really good location. Perhaps an improvement could be somewhere to keep bikes, if possible. We put them on the balcony after carefully lifting them through the living room. Otherwise, a great place for a holiday in the Lakes! Thank you.

- George Peter, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback! We are really pleased to hear that you had a such a good stay in Ambleside. Will certainly look into what we can do for cyclists in case you return – The Owners Property Owner

“We had a lovely week in red screes, it had everything we needed, lovely and comfortable, lots of storage and a nice big bath, the only downside was the bin outside was only for mixed waste, no recycling bin?”

Or if there was there was no note explaining we’re it was? Other than that it was lovely

- Maureen, September 2021

Thank you for your kind comments, we are really pleased to hear that you had a lovely week. Although the outside bin is mixed waste only the waste is segregated and recycled at the depot so please be assured your recycling was be handled in an environmentally friendly way. We have now added a note in the property to make this clear to future guests and we really appreciate the helpful feedback Property Owner
Ann June 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage however we were a little disappointed at the lack of information left to us with regard to local information and specific information with regard to disposal of waste.”

We were not clear as to the re-cycling procedures to follow as our bin was a green bin for the purpose of garden waste. Otherwise all was well and the cottage was very well equipped.

One or two couples, or family, will relax here and enjoy meals together in the attractive dining kitchen - perhaps strolling out the odd night to enjoy the delights of Ambleside village. == Accommodation in detail Outside, private parking for one car.

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.
