Guests that stayed at this property said
The apartment consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. The kitchens and bathrooms are particularly commended for their cleanliness.
The location is highly valued for its superb views and proximity to Ambleside's centre, with easy access to local amenities and walks. The steep walk to town is mentioned, but it does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Comfort receives positive feedback for the property's spaciousness and the quality of sleep provided by the beds. However, some guests mention that the lounge seating and mattresses could be improved, and the check-in and check-out times could be more accommodating.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of modern bathrooms. However, there are several comments about the impracticality of the shower heads and the lack of a washing machine. Maintenance issues like the broken blind and weeds in the patio area are also noted.
While guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and bathroom amenities, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
