No 7

We really enjoyed staying at No.

7 for a few days. Very clean accommodation with everything you need. In a good location for exploring Ambleside and surrounding areas. We would look to stay here again next time visiting the Lake District.

This is our third visit to No 7 for a family annual holiday.

The house has everything you need, beds are very comfortable. Garden improvements are lovely with fantastic views from the top terrace. We will definitely be back again next year.

We had a lovely week at No7, the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

The pool room was a favourite with us all, beds were comfortable and so much space for everyone. The couple of things to mention would be a spare key would be helpful when people want to go off doing different things and it would have been lovely if the small patio off the kitchen was enclosed to sit out with the dogs on a morning. But these were minor things and we had a brilliant week. Would definitely book again.

Lovely well appointed property which is only a short walk to Ambleside and is close to the lake.

Great accommodation in a perfect location for exploring Ambleside and the Lake District.

Spacious accommodation with good facilities and easy parking. Comfortable beds with lots of space in each room. Well stocked kitchen with all possible equipment. A coffee pod machine would have been nice. The pool table was well used and a great addition. The Bly negatives were the loose toilet seats that need tightening and the slightly mouldy shower grouting, both of which should be easy fixes. Overall, such a great stay we’ve already booked again for next year.

Lovely property ideally located in quiet area with short walk into the centre of Ambleside, as other reviews have mentioned the house was lovely and warm with the under floor heating but trying to get the living room warm was difficult and would really benefit from some additional instructions, mattress in the en-suite room needs replacing.

None of the issues will stop us booking again as overall this was one of the best properties we’ve stayed in.

Amazing property.

We absolutely loved our time here, the kitchen is very well equipped with simple appliances. The rooms are spacious with lovely features (I particularly loved the lights in the rooms). There’s plenty of room if you are taking a few people and the location is amazing - 15 minute walk to Ambleside town. We have rebooked for later this year.

Fabulous well equipped property.

No 7 has been furnished to a high standard the house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We would definitely return

This is certainly the most comfortable, clean property we have stayed in.

Large rooms, with huge, cosy beds, plenty of seating in the lounge and kitchen. The most amazing art work and other furnishings. So much room to store coats and boots, there is even a boot drier. Also very dog friendly, which is the main issue for us, thank you for that. Ambleside is about a 10 minute walk and the property is in a very quiet residential area, close to Windermere shoreline. We were sad to leave this lovely house.

Beautiful house with great facilities including a washer / dryer and a dishwasher.

We didn't get to sit outside but the areas look lovely. Only concerns were that the heating was a little hard to decipher so the living room was cold on our first night (we bought wood the day after but didn't need it) and the sink plug in the main en suite was stuck so we had to pull the plug out. Plenty of room for everyone and the house is just so lovely. Would definitely go back - but not through Sykes Holidays!

No.

7 was ideal for our needs. It was very spacious, very practical, lots of cupboard space, comfortable clean and ample parking space. The property is in a good location being close to the lake and shops. There are lots of walks from the doorstep including Loughrigg Fell and Wansfell, Boat trips down Lake Winderemere and a good bus services. With Hayes garden centre and the Low Wood Spa & Resort close by you have everything on hand for a great holiday.

Had a lovely stay here, lovely and clean and well maintained.

The blind in the small bedroom was broken it would go down but not back up .

Clock in kitchen needs new battery. Toilet seat in en suite was really loose. These are only small things and on the whole everything was spot on.

Lovely location and home.

Beds were uncomfortable, possibly need new matteresses, which was a shame. This has prevented us going back again next year.

This is our second time at No 7 with three generations of our family, we cannot fault the house and its facilities, it is well equipped, comfortable and in a fantastic location.

The garden has been renovated since we last came, making it a much more usable space and perfect for al fresco eating- we will definitely be back again

This is our second time staying at No.

7 and we loved it just as much. The house suits all our needs, spacious, clean, every essential and more provided. Location is great for walks, shops and restaurants. We hope to return again next year.

Fridge light did not work Could not open garage door for bike storage Garden parasol not useable only one key for six people Front patio not secure for dog Shower door in ensuite did not close fully Shower screen in family bathroom leaked Shower pressures fluctuated significantly when used simultaneously Master Bedroom wardrobe doors difficult to slide Dustbin full when arrived Largest gas burner on cooker did not work Overall a lovely house in a great location offering Spacious , comfortable relaxing high quality accommodation with a Useful collection of information literature and ample parking Could have stayed a lot longer

We have been at this property many times - we chose for the first time to do Christmas here which was a lovely treat.

On arrival, it was nice to see a tree and decorations and to get in the festive spirit straight away. I was also overwhelmed to receive a F&M hamper from the owners of the property - there were a few tears of joy. The garden has had a total transformation so looking forward to spending a summer holiday enjoying it. It is so lovely to see that the owners are making such significant changes to this property and look forward to seeing what they do next. My mother-in-law was equally delighted with the property and loved having it set up perfectly for her downstairs. We have already booked for Christmas again.

Wonderful holiday home.

We were 6 adults and 2 small children, celebrating our joint 60th birthday. The house is beautifully furnished, very comfortable and well equipped. We loved the pool table and convenience for Ambleside. The only negative is that it was very hot inside and we couldn't work out how to turn down the heat. Also it doesn't have a stair gate so you just need to keep an eye on small children who aren't used to stairs.

A Lovely property situated perfectly within a 10 minute walk into Ambleside centre, but on the edge of Windermere lake with the Riveredge Inn spitting distance and walking straight out the front door for ease of dog walks before putting your hiking boots on properly.

We know Ambleside quite well, having stayed local before and in other surrounding areas of the Lake District, but this property really did tick all the boxes for location and comfort, with ample off road parking too, which is a luxury within Ambleside. The property garden has had extensive work which was a nice surprise as wasn't aware of this upon booking, and dog safe. As we have our own log burner, we brought wood/Kindling with us but would have been nice to have a few bits to start you off, and was unusual not to have some effort of a welcome gift/pack especially for such a luxury property. That said, we are organised enough not to miss either. No negatives and would definitely return again, maybe with a baking tray as only real item missing. Nicely decorated for Christmas too.

The house is very comfortable.

The beds are lovely and comfy. The garage was a very useful space to store boots, rucksacks and the like when not needed. The dishwasher makes a rather strange noise! It would be useful to have a bigger saucepan or two. A trivet for hot dishes and a baking sheet would be helpful as would a breadboard. It was very mild when we were there and we found the heating not the easiest thing to sort out and so the house was very warm. All in all a very good house, would stay again. Thanks

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house.

It was equipped with everything we could need and was spacious and clean. The small garden at the back was secure for our medium sized dogs (though possibly a larger, more adventurous dog could jump over the gate which is about 3 feet high). There was plenty of room for two cars on the drive. The location was excellent for travelling about and it was literally a three minute walk down to the lake. Just a small point, the fridge freezer door springs open very slightly if you don’t push it carefully shut and check it’s fully shut. We spotted this because when we arrived the freezer section was completely frosted up and needed defrosting before we could use it. We concluded the door had inadvertently been left slightly ajar which caused this problem. Once defrosted there was no further issue during our stay. We had a great week and will definitely look to return. We would highly recommend this property.

had a fantastic stay at no 7 and thankfully we were very fortunate to have the only full week of sunshine this summer .

Property had off street parking which is a major bonus in lake district and was about 10 minute walk into town . Kitchen was well equipped , Living room had books and games and there was a pool table in garage . Beds were really comfy , everyone slept well . Theres a lovely little sun terrace with great views at top of garden , possibly could benefit from trimming back bushes leading up to it . Overall had great stay and would definitely stay again

Beautiful cottage lavishly decorated and well equipped, small niggle but for safety the bath mat was unusable and needs replacing as does the seal on shower screen.

Imperative for safety gate required top and bottom of stairs, we had 2 toddlers under 3yrs. The dustbin was half full when we arrived so nowhere to put our rubbish, so had to store bags in garage, welcome book said bins emptied Thursday and they were emptied Wednesday so we hadn’t put all rubbish out. Not being petty as we had an amazing holiday the cottage is perfectly located for all amenities.

We have stayed at No.

7 quite a number of times now. There was a few issues that need to be addressed. The toilet seats in the en-suite and the main bathroom were very loose - an accident waiting to happen if not fixed. The toaster provided has 4 spaces, yet only 2 worked - if you have a large family staying this, would be a nuisance. The green bin was overloaded when we arrived and when they eventually came to empty them (on Thursday and not Tuesday as stated) they didn’t bother emptying it which meant, our rubbish had to be left in bin bags in the garage which, is not ideal when new people come and stay. The bin men must know by now, it is a rented property and bins will sometimes get overloaded that you can’t shut the lid. Overall, we are back in December and will definitely visit again after that.

Fab house and location we had a fantastic family holiday here.

An additional walk in shower would have been handy but not a big deal. Thanks Janette

Fabulous house with everything catered for.

Very comfortable beds and seating areas. Great location. Will certainly return.

Brilliant house, has got everything you could possibly want, good location & quite, looked to see if it was available for half term in October, but fully booked, will try for next year, have stayed in a goof few in a he Lake District, this comes up one of the best, well done & thank you.

The property was very well equipped and comfortable in a great location.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was lovely and although we only had a short stay the position was perfect for both walks and also for access to restaurants in Ambleside

This is an excellent holiday home, very comfortable, furnished beautifully and really lends itself to multi-generation style holidays.

The dog bed area was very much appreciated too. However the best thing is the location! Just a few minutes walk away from fabulous Windermere views, accessible walks around the lake, boat trips to Bowness, and great fish & chips!! Also walking distance from the lovely Ambleside town centre. Would definitely recommend this property.

This property is superb.

Everything you could need is provided and of great quality. In excellent condition and cleanliness. Beds very comfortable. Lakeside is 2 minutes walk away and Ambleside a short stroll. We had torrential rain during our Christmas stay so the games room was a treat. The boot driers were such a pleasant surprise!

A lovely property - first time we’ve gone for a newer property (rather than a cottage) but was very pleased with it - would certainly return.

Really handy for walks, ferry and local villages - plus it’s a 10 minute walk to a lovely garden centre. It would have been very good to have a 2nd door key though as we didn’t all go out together (we know we could have left in the key box, but didn’t know if the code is regularly changed)

Weekend with 6 girls for a 30th birthday weekend.

great property, kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable. The boot dryers were very welcome after some very wet walks. bedding, towels, loo roll all provided. 3 easy car parking spaces on the drive. I had not realised the living room was on the first floor, with the kitchen and a bedroom on the ground floor, this was not ideal for me but absolutely fine for a weekend. overall would very much recommend this property and booking through Sykes.

Great property great location.

This is our third stay here. Be back next year

The house was everything we could have wished for.

It was clean, well equipped and in a great location.

Very well maintained internally, spotlessly clean.

Good facilities. Outdoor is due for renewal but the grass could be mowed in the meantime

We had a fantastic stay and the house was beautiful!

It was also such a lovely touch to have the Christmas decorations up when we arrived. The house is in a fabulous location and is a great hub for the family to come together but also not be under each others feet too much aswell! The only minor thing would be the heating, in the evening the heat was almost unbearable and we weren’t sure where to turn it down or off. Would maybe an idea to have this information handy for future guests! All in all we have a wonderful time and would love to come back! Thank you so much!

Lovely stay in this gorgeous property

A wonderful property and well equipped.

We had a few initial issues with the heating (not on on arrival, came on during the night and was unbearable) perhaps some simple instructions would be useful but we called into the office who kindly sorted everything for us. There was quite a lot of dust and cobwebs around the ground floor bedroom and in the corners of kitchen (the wonderful Vax cordless vacuum made short work of these!) No 7 was perfect, otherwise. Just a small suggestion would be for maybe a couple of cleaning items to be available, multi purpose spray or something similar.

Spacious comfortable and well positioned for the lake

Really good accommodation, fantastic location cannot fault.

We all loved the property and it was very well equipped.

A lot of thought has gone into the furnishings which were lovely. The boot driers were a fantastic addition. The garden was great and the top terrace was a lovely place to sit and read a book. Only little niggle was one of the bedrooms wasn’t set up as a twin as described. Otherwise everything was great and I’m sure we’ll return to the property. Thank you.

We went to the house as a family, myself, my husband, sister, brother-in-law, 2 x grandchildren and my 83 year old mums as well as our dogs.

The house was perfect for all of us, the fixtures and fittings were top class. The games room with the pool table gave all of us a lot of fun in the evenings. The kitchen had everything that we needed away from home , and lots of dishes , pots etc. Location was fab. The house is very close to lake windermere, 2 minute walk, and 15 minute walk into Ambleside. You are a short drive to Windermere the town and Bowness-on-Windermere. Would definitely rent this property again, loved it.

Excellent in every respect, even the weather.

Lovely house in excellent quiet position.

Exceptional decor and very well equipped. Sofas low and uncomfortable….when we removed the back cushions we found lots of dust so cleaning could be more thorough. Unable to use the vacuum as full of debris…..obviously an issue re emptying? Heating far too hot in upstairs master bedroom and heating controls too complicated to rectify this.

Very attractive and well equipped property.

Garden needs a tidy up but otherwise a great stay in a wonderful location. Pool table saw a full family tournament played.

Fantastic family property in a great location.

Will happily re- book.

Lovely property, in a fantastic location and with convenient parking place for a large car.

Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We will definitely come back again!

The property was very well equipped and presented.

Kitchen had everything you would need. Especially liked the picnic bag and flask, very thoughtful. Only criticism is the outside areas. Nothing down stairs for dogs to go out so always have to go through lounge. Gardens themselves in a very poor state. Not inviting at all. Also dog poo from previous guests still there. Mind you difficult to clean up after your dog when garden so overgrown. Would love to go back but would hope garden areas sorted Thank you

We have stayed at No 7 in Ambleside twice now and it doesn’t disappoint.

It is spacious, great choice of restaurants nearby and, has lovely dog walks. We will however be choosing another property through you just because our dog has bad elbows and the kitchen is downstairs.

We had a wonderful holiday.

The property was in an ideal location. It was clean , had all electrical equipment needed and generally well equipped . Little things such as only 3 wine glasses and not enough serving or oven plates could easily be overcome .The. garden does need maintained and I understand the owners are looking at this. We hadn’t realised the cot would be a travelling cot (which wasn’t available as requested when we got there). We would use the property again thank you .

Great holiday home in a great location.

The heating system could do with instructions on how to operate as it was far too hot through the night. There were only 4 wine glasses for a property that slept 7 so a few more would be handy and I always seem to have to fill the dishwasher up with either rinse aid or salt wherever I stay. I don't mind bringing the wash tabs but I think if it is there to use then it would be nice for it to topped up during the cleaning of the property. Nothing major really, just the odd niggle, as the rest of the property was excellent. We had a fantastic holiday and would stay at No 7 again. The location was great. 2 minutes to the lake and 10 minutes to town. Also well situated for catching the bus or the ferry.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No7 and have no hesitation in recommending highly.

Particularly liked how practical everything was like the generous entry hall which works really well when you have 5 adults and 2 tiny humans going in and out. The house's underfloor heating was superb, the layout was great and the rooms well proportioned. Then the nice small touches like the Bose portable speaker and the Netflix account access in all rooms. Our kids also liked the pool room and although we have no pets had endless fun in the dog kennels under the stairs which were repurposed into top notch dens ! We also loved the location which was so handy for our lake cruise and exploring in general. All in all a really relaxing home from home where everthing had been well thought out making for an effortless stay. Would happily stay there again.

Six humans and two dogs stayed for a week in February and we all cannot sing the praises of this house enough.

From it’s prime location and the absolutely beautiful interior to having a pool table in the garage which was a constant source of entertainment - this place was a fab base for a week away. On the practical side of things, the house is equipped with a very warm airing cupboard with plenty of hanging/drying space, loads of storage space for boots/coats as well as two electric boot dryers which were a godsend as we had classic British weather. Also having a washing machine and dryer was great - we were able to get out every day regardless of the weather because of these small amenities. We cannot recommend this house enough and we’re already planning on when we can come back and stay again,

Stunning home in a brilliant location.

We had such a nice time. We struggled to open the key safe on arrival and on departure it just wouldn’t open so I hid the key under the mat and called the central call centre to advise. Felt bad letting the dog in and out of the garden from a carpeted lounge but we kept wiping him as best we could and hopefully managed to pick up any poo in the garden. We couldn’t fathom the heating out so had to call the centre and a guy came out and switched it on for us. Master bed was very comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped. Dishwasher was flashing to replace rinse aid and salt which I doubt any guests would have taken - so the owners need to get that done. Lovely touches with the blankets, cool bag, picnic rug etc. make sure those are listed on the listing as I took all my own

The house, layout, decor and location was excellent and just as described.

We would definitely recommend No7 to our friends. I have a couple of small issues I'd like to make you aware of: - the soap dispensers in the bathroom and ensuite were empty, despite there being soap in a large container in the garage, I ended up refilling them myself. - the washing up liquid supplied in the visitor box was tiny and only enough for 3 washes - the main bedroom and linked en-suite on the 1st was too hot overnight, we ended up moving to the double bedroom on the ground floor. I noticed a number of previous guests had commented on this and it hadn't been addressed. Although there is a heating control this was complicated and the instructions in the visitor pack were hard to follow.

Beautiful property, thank you for letting us have the pleasure of staying there.

Lovely location, two minutes walk from Lakeside, absolutely stunning.

Beautiful house, warm and comfortable in a great location.

We enjoyed the additional pool table. Thank you

Excellent facilities and location and I would definitely consider another stay at the property.

Only slight negatives - dishwasher hadn't been emptied and the pots in the drawer were not too clean with what appeared to be greasy finger marks on the lids and handles. Surprising,as there was justifiably a clear message to be extra vigilant concerning Covid.

The house is very comfortable and spotless with a high standard of everything throughout.

Quiet location but easy walk into town. Pub and lake one minute walk. The pictures don't do it justice. Only thing would be good to have another key on a fob.

This is a beautifully presented house, ideally situated and very comfortable.

It is a semi 'upside down' house with one of the bedrooms downstairs and the sitting room on the first floor to take advantage of the garden. However, I didn't give it full marks for accuracy of listing for two reasons: a) Although it is listed as dog friendly, the only access to the enclosed garden is either through the carpeted lounge or via the outside staircase. We were lucky - we had a dry week - there would have been issues had the week been wet! b) the garden is beautiful but steeply tiered with the sitting area at the top of the slope to take advantage of the views, so it's a bit of a hike from the kitchen (downstairs), up the steps or up the stairs and through the lounge and then up the slope to take advantage of them! If there are young children in the party - we had a five-year-old and a toddler of 20 months - this could be problematic. Having said all that, it is a lovely house, but I think best suited to a group of adults rather than a family with young children and/or dogs!

No 7 is a fantastic house.

We had a great time there and recommend it wholeheartedly to others.

Absolutely amazing property within easy walking distance of Ambleside village centre.

Fixtures and fittings first class. Everything contemporary and stylish. Pool room brilliant addition for the kids. Would absolutely recommend.

Lovely holiday - house very comfortable and in an excellent location with good parking.

Superb property, great location and very well equipped for the needs of our family.

Many thanks

Beautiful house, only marred by (in our opinion) uncomfortable seating in the living room.

Very well equipped, ample parking and fantastic situation.
