“Very good holiday cottage - good accurate description, great value for money”

- Mark, May 2022
Paul May 2022

“A perfect position for the centre of town if a little bit noisy with traffic.”

Could do with frosting for privacy and a way of locking the bathroom window open securely when out walking. Overall a nice property with parking.

- Paul, May 2022
Nick April 2022

“Balcony especially and some of the decoration was shabby.”

Otherwise it was a great property.

- Nick, April 2022
Louise April 2022

“Property was spacious in good location, had everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay.”

Would definitely stay again. For info, we couldn’t get the dishwasher to work. It seemed to switch on but then programme must have cancelled because nothing was washed and tablet was still in dispenser. Tried 3 times. This was no great issue for us but just letting you know.

Clare January 2022

“Not easy to locate,as inside a court yard - although very central, entrance not visible from old lake road.”

Needed to contact office for further directions .Step into kitchen, and in twin bedroom, need pointing out- also stone step at entrance.having said that property only 2 mins walk from ambleside- very good size lounge, with a good book selection! Also lots of leaflets and booklets of local attractions, and overall a nice property.

“I have marked the accuracy of the listing down because it does not specify that WiFi is available.”

A couple of client reviews note the lack of WiFi , so I was pleasantly surprised to find it there. Changing the listing to include WiFi will demonstrate that this issue has been addressed. In fact all the negative comments in recent reviews had been addressed so: it was clean; no broken toilet seat and the carpet in the boot room had been removed, so no musty smell. Decor was in keeping with the age of the apartment but was in good condition. In summary: a lovely apartment in a fabulous location and both Lakelovers and the owner had responded promptly to previous feedback.

- Susan, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback regarding the wifi. We have checked this with the owner and they have confirmed it has been installed but they unfortunately didn't get chance to let us know. We have now updated the website. Thanks once again for your feedback, hopefully we will see you again in the near future. The Lakelovers team Property Owner

“Really enjoyed our stay at Scafell, great location close to town, with parking right outside the door.”

The only down was that it’s quite dated in chose of decor and they didn’t have WiFi ….

- Claire, October 2021
Joe September 2021

“I have stayed at this apartment twice, great location and nice large property with the bonus of a parking space.”

The only negatives are no WiFi and a small tv with limited channels. I would of booked again for next year had it not been for the price increase.

- Joe, September 2021

“The apartment was clean and spacious and well positioned in the town - close to the amenities.”

Would strongly suggest Wi-Fi is installed as this is now an expectation rather than a bonus feature.

- Stephen, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback after your stay at Scafell. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. All the Lakelovers properties and the features in place are at the discretion of the owner. We will pass on your comments for perusal. Thank you once again for your feedback Property Owner

“Ambleside is an amazing place - Unfortunately, this is not a 4 star property which is what we paid for and had hoped to be staying in.”

On arrival, we found the ground floor entrance lobby / boot room to be very musty and damp smelling - why is this area carpeted? The accommodation was in a very poor state of decoration throughout and was not as clean as we expected - hadn’t been hoovered with white dog hair everywhere, toe nail cuttings on one of the single beds and on the floor which also suggests that the bed hadn’t been changed, a very unhygienic broken toilet seat in the main bathroom which had been glued back together, cobwebs and dust everywhere. We finally managed to speak to someone in the Lakelovers office in Windermere and were grateful for her assistance - the place was dusted and hoovered throughout by a cleaning team on the Wednesday afternoon. We had cleaned and sanitised the rest ourselves. This accommodation does not represent Lakelovers in a positive manner - we would be very surprised if is the first negative feedback for this apartment and we would urge Lakelovers to review the standard / rating of this accommodation as a matter of urgency.

- Jackie, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback after your recent stay at Scafell. We are saddened to hear of these deficiencies raised and we hope it didn’t spoil your holiday too much. Lakelovers look after the cleaning for this property and this matter has been reported to the Housekeeping Manager, as this falls well below our expected standards. Every property we feature is inspected by Visit England, this is due in November after being delayed due to Covid. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will monitor all your comments moving forward. Property Owner

The property

If you're looking for a little taste of Lakeland grandeur, this fabulous apartment might just fit the bill. Only a stone's throw from the heart of Ambleside village, Scafell is a spacious apartment within a magnificent 16th century gentleman's residence. Blissful peace and quiet, enormous Georgian windows with fabulous fell views, elegant living space and formal dining area... it's hard to believe such a gracious retreat is so close to all the amenities of Ambleside village. Ample bathroom facilities for both bedrooms, providing flexible accommodation to suit families, couples or friends. 1 pet dog is welcome, and they'll be well walked with an abundance of routes beginning in the area. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car right outside the property. Ground floor private entrance, with space for walking clobber and bikes. An elaborate staircase leads to the scenic first floor apartment. Elegant lounge / dining room, full of light and space and with large Georgian windows and a small viewing balcony. Well-equipped kitchen with views towards the Fairfield Horseshoe. The double bedroom has use of the house bathroom with shower over bath, while the twin bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Location A self-catering apartment in Ambleside provides a perfect base for a Lake District holiday - you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenery and close to Lake Windermere, but you'll also enjoy the convenience of a sophisticated village community on your doorstep. Ambleside is located on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, reached via the scenic A591 road. Popular for walking holidays in the Lake District, Ambleside is also the most vibrant location in terms of shopping, eating and evening entertainment. Stroll to the lake shore at Waterhead Pier, and you'll be able to take a Windermere Lake cruise to Bowness and Lakeside. It's a great way to explore, soak up the scenery and leave the car behind. We also recommend exploring some of the excellent country pubs near Ambleside, such as the famous Drunken Duck Inn and Restaurant - a must for special occasions and only a short drive or taxi ride away. Historic attractions in and around Ambleside include the Armitt museum of local industry, and also one of William Wordsworth's former family homes at Rydal Mount and Gardens - an impressive place to explore.

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.
