    Take a torch it's pitch black through the park later on. Bedroom one (left) no TV but not a problem. Sash window needed some attention ,open from the top! Bed small but comfortable, clean white bedding. Great sockets with extension leads & a mirror next to drawers. The ensuite bathroom has a shower cubical this is small anyone who's large/tall would struggle .. not very powerful but sustained constant heat. Bedroom two - slighter larger with a TV, bigger bathroom with a jacuzzi bath & separate larger shower cubical & a very powerful shower. Comfortable bed, plenty of storage & sockets ..the layout of doors to this room is slightly odd , door from landing lockable, but no door to the bathroom & a door to the bedroom ! Both had heated towel rails but they were quite dusty so gave them a clean. The kitchen is well equipped . Plenty of wine glasses only one smaller tumbler . But lots of pint glasses . Eventually found the WiFi code on a scrap of paper on the notice board in the kitchen .. this needs changing I've never seen such a long one which was a nightmare to put in Netflix !, . & It really isn't fast WiFi it's quite poor & my phone often flicked to my own data .. TV struggled due to the WiFi using a firestick. Living room - large dining table but felt sticky gave it a scrub but just didn't clean too well, all the polish Has gone. Sofa a bit old chairs comfy but the large 2 seater has lost padding got quite uncomfortable. Didn't use the log burner as the central heating was adequate controlled by a thermostat by the front door.. New grey carpet throughout the property. Items that need replacing which maybe the cleaners should pick up on :- a new washing up bowl! It's so scratched never looks clean doesn't look nice & cheaply replaced. The notice board looks scruffy out of date leaflets etc.. The bin in the kitchen, it's broken! Hard to lift lid as you can't click it down & pop up anymore .had to put tape on to lift the lid. New sofa & dining table. New shower in bedroom one . WiFi needs to improve .. Cleaning needs attention . The property looked like it had been cleaned a while ago & no one had been for ages , massive cobwebs across the front door & piles of letters on the floor . Therefore explaining the dust. Parking was fabulous right outside the property & loads of room for a large car .

==Location This easily accessible holiday bolt hole 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 contemporary village community on your doorstep.

Stunning gardens in an unforgettable location.

This property boasts plenty of walks right from the doorstep.

Ambleside is located on the northern shores of Lake Windermere; it's easily accessible via the very scenic A591 road.

The village is a popular base for walking in the Lake District, but it's also one of the most sophisticated villages in terms of shopping and evening entertainment. There are some excellent restaurants in Ambleside, two quirky cinema venues and a range of cosy traditional pubs where Lakeland ale is the favoured tipple!

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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 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.
