Guests say
Long Mynd in Ambleside is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and excellent location within walking distance of the town and local walks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, relaxing garden, and suitability for families and dogs. While some mention minor issues such as noise from the flat above, dated decor, and occasional cleaning oversights, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests keen to return.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, though a few noted cobwebs, lingering cooking smells, and a need for more thorough airing. Overall, cleanliness is generally good but with occasional lapses.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major strength, being close to Ambleside centre, local walks, and scenic spots. The only minor drawback mentioned is the steep walk into town.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a peaceful atmosphere. Some noise from the flat above and rough towels were noted, but comfort is overall rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, games, maps, and Wi-Fi. Some guests suggested more crockery for larger groups and noted minor maintenance issues, but facilities are generally very good.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.
