The accommodation was in a great location, just a short walk from the centre of Ambleside. The room was clean, cosy, and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!

Really nice, accessable location with great views!
The property was central to the town and easy to locate. The free parking was a big bonus and made planning easier. The owner was friendly and helped with locating the lake and the town. It also came with tea & coffee, kettle and a hairdryer which were all helpful.
Whilst the location was good the rooms were slightly on the smaller side, especially the bathroom. Also, the bathroom had no soap or anything in the bathroom which we were not aware of. Small stains around the skirting boards and such but not too bad.

Great location, excellent value for money. Perfect for short stays when you want to explore the area
Great location, host was very friendly and helpful. Room was compact, but clean and had everything I needed. Overall, i thought this was great value for money.
The shower and toilet were cramped. Having come from a quiet location, the noise of cars going by at night wasnt great.
