Guests are generally pleased with this well-appointed, modern cottage in Ambleside, praising its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and convenient location close to the town centre and Lake Windermere. The open-plan kitchen and lounge, along with the provision of parking, are appreciated. Some guests suggest minor improvements and note road noise, but the overall sentiment is positive with many expressing a desire to return.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests consistently noting the property's tidiness and the immaculate condition of the interior. A few minor comments about specific areas needing attention do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Ambleside centre, Waterhead Pier, and Lake Windermere. While the convenience is celebrated, some guests mention road noise due to the property's position on a main road, which slightly impacts the score.
Comfort is well-received with guests enjoying the modern amenities, comfortable beds, and spaciousness. However, a few guests mention the firmness of mattresses and seating arrangements for larger groups, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and Wi-Fi. Some maintenance issues such as a broken shower door and parking padlock are noted, indicating that while facilities are good, there is a need for better upkeep.
