The convenience of on-site parking and the proximity to local amenities are frequently praised. While some minor issues with maintenance and facilities are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, though there was an isolated report of mould and a lack of thorough cleaning in the bathroom. This seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The location is consistently praised for being central, quiet, and offering easy access to local shops, restaurants, and scenic walks, with the added benefit of off-road parking.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the apartment homely and warm. There is a mention of creaky beds, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
The property is well-equipped with a kitchen, Sky TV, and books, though there are comments about the Sky TV being difficult to operate and a dishwasher handle needing attention. The lack of basic cleaning products and a tricky building entrance at night were also noted.
While guests mention the property being well-equipped and having a selection of books and DVDs, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
