Guests say
Guests appreciate the cottage's fantastic location, secure garden for pets, and ample off-road parking. The property is comfortable with beautiful views, ideal for families and dog owners. It's noted as a good base for walking and enjoying Ambleside's amenities. While some guests mention it could benefit from modernisation and a spruce up, its current state offers excellent value for money.
The property's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, though some guests have reported the need to clean kitchen surfaces upon arrival and a musty smell in one bedroom. There is room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, scenic views, and suitability for walking and outdoor activities, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.
The cottage is described as comfortable and warm, with a secure garden and sufficient space. However, some guests have noted that certain areas, like the basement bedroom, could be cosier.
Facilities such as a double garage, washing machine, and tumble dryer are appreciated, but guests have suggested that the property requires some modernisation and repairs, including bathroom fixtures and heating issues.
While guests have not mentioned any gifts, there is a note on the lack of basic provisions such as hand soap and welcome packs. As such, the score is set to null due to insufficient information on thoughtfulness.

Location & style of the house were perfect. Not impressed with the cleanliness though, greasy marks on the kitchen floor @ worktops. Felt we had to clean everything before we used it. Almost empty bottle of degreaser & a VERY watered down washing up liquid left for us. Could do with some modernising & repairs. 2 things we looked for when booking were an open fire, which we got & a bath, which was a waste of time! We were a party of 7, including 2 young children. Run the bath & you got probably about 4” of hot water if you where lucky, Then had to wait an hour or two for the water to heat up again. Request on the notice board to strip the bed before we leave (which we always do anyway) & place them in the black sacks provided. No black sacks anywhere. All the cottages we’ve ever stayed at, there has been teabags, coffee, bits & prices left from previous tenants, most places even give you a welcome pack of basics, milk etc. this one? Half a pot of salt! The downstairs bedroom is obviously there to squeeze in 2 extra beds but, being at the back of the garage was very cold without having the electric blower on. Then the top of the room was warm, with most most of the heat travelling up to the living room, down where the bed is was freezing overnight

All in all a fantastic location, property itself is dated and could do with a refresh - cracked tiles in bathroom and bunk bed was very uncomfortable and squeaky difficult to sleep on. We were not given the key box code until ringing the emergency number on arrival and even then we were waiting 20 minutes we had requested the code 7 days prior.

Great location, enclosed garden for dogs and good off road parking. The house needs updating but if it was to be updated it would be out of my price range. It’s comfortable but tired.
