“PROS:
Excellent Location and beautiful views of the local hilltops.”
location especially good to walk into Ambleside.
CONS:
- Parking, it's a long way to reverse in, in the middle of the night
(do NOT drive in forwards and try to turn around at the end - no lighting and you're likely to catch your car on so many corners)
- Maybe I have been spoilt with Airbnb, but No washing powder/tablets is so annoying, as is No shower gel etc - to have to go back into town and get these basics - Why ?
- CHECKOUT - these timings of 5pm check-in and 9am check out are ridiculous!
.... especially when you can't leave anything in the dishwasher and all has to be put away.
- Rooms - very small - and since 90% of cupboard space is labelled "OWNERS ITEMS" you have to leave all your stuff on the floor around the bed - which is a nightmare as there is only max 2ft of space in the room!
(try going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and NOT tripping over all your stuff).
this could be an excellent little cosy place (justifying the higher price tag) if only the owners were more customer focussed.
We’re glad you liked the location and beautiful views
Apologies for the check in and check out times- these have been altered since COVID, in order to allow the extra cleaning procedures required - and I think it’s now fairly standard with all holiday cottages in busy areas. ( leaving the dishwasher on when you leave will not be a problem).
The bedrooms are small, but there are wardrobes and shelving for guests. We have taken a few cupboards for cleaning things and spares etc.
