“Fantastic cottage with all amenities in perfect location for walking the Lakes.”

- K Page, Nov 2019
Mr & Mrs Airley June 2021

“We were very happy with the cottage and the location.”

My issue was with Lakelovers. I booked 2 weeks and informed the company that I was bringing different family members in each week ( the holiday weeks were a gift ) and therefore requested a change of linen and towels after the first week. I was assured this would happen. I duly stripped the beds on the Saturday morning after the first week only to return on Sunday with my other family members to find the cottage as I left it. After making up the beds with the dirty linen I contacted Lakelovers ( fortunately their office was close by) on Monday and had fresh linen delivered which I used to make up the beds AGAIN. I understand that mistakes happen but surely a stay of a fortnight would have ordinarily generated a change of towels and bedding halfway through anyway , especially since there were no drying facilities for that amount of linen etc? The bin in the downstairs toilet hadn’t been emptied and was full of dirty tissues. Mrs C Airley

- Mr & Mrs Airley, June 2021

Good Afternoon Mr and Mrs Airley, Thank you for your recent feedback regarding Hill Cottage, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage however disappointed to hear your comments regarding the linen and your new view on Lakelovers. When COVID started we lost a lot of housekeepers and when we re-opened our properties last year many housekeepers did not and still do not feel comfortable going into a property when guests are still in residence. Therefore, we stopped mid-week cleans due to this reason plus many other guests also felt the same and did not want to be intruded. Unfortunately, I can find no request for the mid-week linen change on our system or from our Housekeeping team. Had we received such request we would have made sure at least a linen and towel change drop was arranged. I am not sure if it was a miss communication your side or our side or an error but our Housekeeping team did not get such request and therefore this is the reason no linen was dropped off. We are otherwise glad this could be resolved with fresh linen on the Monday morning, but we are sorry for the inconvenience. Kind Regards, Lakelovers Owner relations

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.
