Great location in a quiet spot away from the bustle off the main street. House was very comfortable with good bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen facilities were very good, but could do with a salad bowl.

Perfectly located, cosy home with everything needed. Great shower and lovely bathroom products. Super easy check in, comfy cosy beds, plenty of storage and space. Quiet street, but very short walk to Ambleside centre and perfect location for driving around the lakes wherever you choose to go (off street parking). Had a fantastic first trip to the lakes, only wish we stayed longer
