    “Great property in a convenient location which was furnished to a high quality and we enjoyed our stay here .”

    The only disappointment was the twin room that was situated differently to to other bedrooms . It was very cold and damp when I arrived . The drawers wouldn’t open and the main door didn’t shut as they had swollen . The towels were cold and damp and I couldn’t draw the curtains on the windows as they were out of reach . I put a heater on and after a couple of days it was more comfortable in there and I could open the drawers. I think this room would benefit from a dehumidifier when not ...

    The only disappointment was the twin room that was situated differently to to other bedrooms . It was very cold and damp when I arrived . The drawers wouldn’t open and the main door didn’t shut as they had swollen . The towels were cold and damp and I couldn’t draw the curtains on the windows as they were out of reach . I put a heater on and after a couple of days it was more comfortable in there and I could open the drawers. I think this room would benefit from a dehumidifier when not in use. Despite this I would stay here again as everywhere else was excellent .

    Hello Barbara, We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Garden House. Thank you for your feedback on the issue with the fifth bedroom. This occurs sometimes when the heating is off due to the age of the original part of the house. We will try installing a dehumidifier to see if that improves the situation. Many thanks.

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.
