“This is our second visit to Windows and I am sure we will return.”

The property is well equipped and apart from the twin room,which is a little small, is very spacious. It is in a convenient location for both the lake and the centre of Ambleside, and the parking is suitable for any size of vehicle. It is on the main road through Ambleside, so there is traffic noise which may disturb a light sleeper and obviously there are a lot of steps. Unfortunately on this visit the oven and microwave had not been cleaned, but this must have been an oversight as we have ...

“On are arrival at windows when we opened the front door we were over come by a awful musty smell.”

When we went upto the main bedroom once again there was this over powering musty smell. I would like to highlight the couch was also wearing away with scratches and marks over it also the wall paper in the living room was pealing off the wall . Mostly it was the over powering smell in the bedroom which wasn't very nice at all. I think it needs either cleaning or removing and lamment flooring put down which would be easy to clean. Also there was no shelf in the first floor shower so you could put your soap on.

“Generally a fab holiday and appartment.”

The location was faultless and we loved the bright, airy space inside. A couple of minor grumbles prevented a 5 * review. Firstly, the sofa was not comfortable; the wooden seat and back boards were really awkward to sit on and eventually gave me a back ache. Secondly, the dishwasher wasn't working properly; almost every wash came out covered in dried on food, especially the glassware. Overall, the holiday was great and we would seriously consider Windows as our accommodationin the future.

“This is a very lovely place have stayed here twice now.”

Would recommend it to anyone. Plenty to do only went out in the car once.

“We chose the apartment because of its location between the lake and town, however the noise from people walking past late at night combined with traffic noise did disturb our sleep.”

Added to this the twin room has a room from the adjoining property above it and there was considerable noise from this early each morning. The terrace was a real feature of our stay and we enjoyed eating out there with the stunning views. The fans provided were appreciated although we could not get the ceiling fan to work in the living area. Perhaps a decent illuminated and heated mirror along with a shelf and some hooks would have been a better addition to the bathroom than a tv? Parking space beside apartment was useful although there was another car parked in it throughout our stay forcing us to have to park sticking out into the car park at times and a second car would not have been possible. A bit of an update is needed, the instructions about location of key safe were incorrect and the exterior of the entrance is very shabby, perhaps at least the cobwebs could be cleaned off the doorway? Fortunately the inside was more welcoming, it was clean and well presented. A restock of glasses and more up to date TV and speaker would have been appreciated.

“Windows is ideally situated for both Ambleside and Waterhead.”

The “windows” feature made this a lovely property and a guaranteed parking space all week was excellent.

The property

'Windows' are certainly the theme of this superb central Ambleside apartment; spacious, contemporary, flooded with light and boasting fabulous views over the village to Lake Windermere and our majestic fells. The stylish open plan living space is a dream for sociable gatherings; chocolate leather furnishings sit on stripped wooden floors, formal dining space enjoys open access to the designer kitchen, and all this is surrounded by an array of almost floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom suites, complete with individual bathroom facilities, sit on separate floors, ensuring privacy for couples or peace and quiet for parents. It has to be said that the loft-style king-size bedroom suite, with access to the roof terrace, makes 'Windows' a worthwhile indulgence for one couple alone! == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Ground floor entrance porch with space for walking clobber. Upstairs to the open plan living area with enormous windows, stripped wooden floors and chocolate leather furnishings. The ingenious kitchen has a central island, and serves a large dining area. Twin bedroom at this level, with en-suite shower room with pebbled floor. Upstairs to the spacious king-size loft suite, with far-reaching views, en-suite bathroom, complete with bathroom TV! and access to the roof terrace. The roof terrace is the perfect place for al-fresco meals and lazy afternoons. Nestled on the northern shores of Lake Windermere at the heart of the Lakes, Ambleside is a charming historic village that has grown to become one of the most vibrant destinations in the region. Part of Ambleside's appeal is its location; enjoying the tranquility and activity of Lake Windermere's shores (lake cruises depart just outside the village centre), but also the dramatic backdrop of our Lakeland Fells and mountains (Ambleside is renowned as a hub for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts). It's easy to see why so many return year after year and why so many long to make their home here! In the village centre, explore tempting cafes and a wide range of shops - everything from local craft to expert outdoor clothing. Ambleside is home to two cinema venues and several acclaimed Lake District restaurants - along with the wonderful country pubs in the surrounding area you'll be spoilt for choice. Special evenings out or romantic occasions, all are catered for within the village centre. Within walking distance of Ambleside village centre is Waterhead Pier; the departure point for Windermere Lake Cruises. With regular departures throughout the day, you'll find the elegant 'steamers' or smaller launches a perfect way to explore without a car. The boats travel the full length of the lake, with stops at Bowness and Lakeside.

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.
