    “Lovely views without the leaves on the trees, but this property isn’t up to scratch to be marketed as a holiday let.”

    No bedlinen on arrival, and someone else’s dirty laundry in the bath. This was resolved quickly, but it was a poor start to the trip. The property itself is very dated, which is fine, but where there is excessive wear, such as very tired bathroom cabinets, mouldy bedroom curtains, etc, the owner should be investing in upgrades. The owner might also want to reduce and update all the instructions that were written around the property. Generally clean, but in need of a deep clean and clear out ...

    No bedlinen on arrival, and someone else’s dirty laundry in the bath. This was resolved quickly, but it was a poor start to the trip. The property itself is very dated, which is fine, but where there is excessive wear, such as very tired bathroom cabinets, mouldy bedroom curtains, etc, the owner should be investing in upgrades. The owner might also want to reduce and update all the instructions that were written around the property. Generally clean, but in need of a deep clean and clear out. Many handles and shelves were sticky and had crumbs on them. The place generally felt like a dumping ground of old furniture, electronics, and someone else’s household knickknacks. The bedroom was so small and cluttered that it was overly claustrophobic, so we ended up sleeping on camping mats on the living room floor. The property served a purpose (it was warm and dry), but we left early, as it wasn’t exactly a joy to be in the place, andwe would have rather been at home.

    RAMBLERS REST OWNER RESPONSE We are understandably concerned about this feedback on our apartment, particularly the statement that it is not fit to be a holiday let. The apartment was not to these clients’ taste but we strongly disagree with their view. Of course we understand that it was a poor start to their holiday that the changeover was not conducted properly by Lakelovers, they normally do it very well but mistakes occasionally happen. The bathroom cabinets are old but they function well. We are, however, in the process of completely upgrading the whole bathroom. The linings of the bedroom curtains do have some traces of mould on the bottoms due to condensation on the windows which is inevitable in these apartments, especially in the winter months. We do treat them regularly but it always returns. The apartment is definitely not “a dumping ground for old furniture” In the past few years we have replaced every item of furniture with new, maybe old fashioned items but to our taste. The bedroom is small, like the rest of the apartment, but is cosy rather than claustrophobic and we were truly amazed that the clients slept on the living room floor rather than a comfortable warm bed! To reiterate, the apartment was not right for these clients but has been for many others. Property Owner

The property

This gorgeous ground floor apartment is tucked away in the small, peaceful and exclusive Neaum Crag development.

With wonderful views and surrounded by 18 acres of picturesque woodland in the Langdale Valley area, Ramblers Rest is ideal for keen walkers who will find many famous routes beginning close by.The contemporary accommodation is designed to let the outside in - with large glass patio doors opening out from both the living room and bedroom.

The local pub is within easy reach, and you're certain to relax in the rare tranquility of one of the Lake District's most scenic areas. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 2 cars plus visitor spaces.

Hallway entrance with laminate wood flooring and storage space for walking gear.

The laminate wood floor continues in the spacious living area, with feature fire and large patio doors to a furnished terrace overlooking the tarn.

Modern and well-equipped kitchen with small dining table.

Ground floor bedroom with large patio doors to the terrace, and slate floored bathroom with shower over bath. Location Popular with walkers, photographers and lovers of peace and quiet, the Langdale Valley is one of the Lake District's most scenic and serene locations. A holiday cottage in Langdale comes with very few neighbours - scattered villages with excellent local pubs (such as the Elterwater Inn or Old Dungeon Ghyll) are as busy as it gets.

However, Ambleside village and Lake Windermere are only a few miles away with a wide range of shops, restaurants and attractions should you need something livelier to entertain you! The Langdale Valley is overlooked by the famous Langdale Pikes, so keen walkers will find fantastic Lake District walking routes beginning on their doorstep. The Neaum Crag Estate is in the process of updating the exterior road lighting, so please take car at night.

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.
