All seen by main guy Waste bin under sink fixings broken - seen by main guy Large waste bin lid broken within 24 hrs Wooden fruit bowl on mircowave brokenon arrival - seen by main guy Slate table mats on dining table food debri on Rusty metal food tongs Rusty baking tray bottom of oven Mircowave door sticky and obvious not cleaned - seen by maint guy Hall light flickers, this is noted in a review dated March this year Food debri splatted on both glass doors on serving hatch Several areas of spiders and cobwebs on lounge coving Cobwebs behind standard lamp near window at waist height and also in corner of dining area at waiste height. dusty skirting and dado rails (not a weeks worth of dust) in all rooms. Standard lamp with 2 bulbs only 1 working and on/off switch loose. Lamp deemed in need of replacement by main guy Standard lamp near door has couple bulbs not working Bolier cupboard, hangers and laminated notice on floor Leak under sink on day 6, not used dishwasher or washing machine all week. We tightened all pipe fixing and found one pipe with no end cap, enough water to soak throw couple of bath towels. Freezer started to refrost during our stay so ongoing issue with freezer. Twin bed room side light is glass and full of dust in side Main bathroom toilet roll holder loose Main bathroom under sink drwa right fixing not secure - draw could be fully pulled out without care Although the view was amazing which is the reason for paying more than usually do for out stays in Ambleside we felt the care and attention to property was extremely disappointing. Only issued one key, no key safe. Which means unless everyone returns at same time casues an issue Have stayed in Ambleside for for over 25 yrs to walk and enjoy the view and never had a cause to complain. These problems have not occured over 1 or 2 weeks so if current system of hoping visitors will report is not working. Interesting to note that main guy asked if beds had been made up, assuming he could not believe the property had been cleaned/checked when we expressed our disappointment. On handing in key we were not wished a safe journey home or hope you return to the Lakes in the future, complete indifference.

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.
