Guests say
Rolton House in Ambleside is praised for its excellent location, spaciousness, and convenience to local amenities. Guests appreciate the proximity to shops, restaurants, and Lake Windermere, with some highlighting the added bonus of on-site parking. While the majority of reviews are positive, noting the property's cleanliness and comfort, there are mentions of maintenance issues that need addressing.
Most guests found Rolton House clean and welcoming, with only a few reports of smelly settees, marks, and cobwebs. The positive remarks suggest good overall cleanliness, but the negative comments indicate room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being close to the town centre, amenities, and Lake Windermere. Despite some mentions of traffic noise, the convenience and ease of access to local attractions are consistently appreciated.
Guests generally find the house comfortable, with spacious rooms and comfy beds. However, some have mentioned issues with noise and a lack of hand soap, which slightly detracts from the overall comfort score.
The property is well-equipped, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as a broken bath tap, unusable freezer, and leaky shower. These recurring problems suggest that the facilities could be better maintained.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
