What our customers say about their holidays
Tracey - Verified booking
This is our third consecutive year coming to this property and we love it so much.
We come because the location is ideal, the views are wonderful and we can bring our pets. The cottage is perfect for us. This trip we had just a few little issues that I'd like to bring to your attention. In the handbook it says to not park blocking a neighbouring property's view. We have always adhered to this and never had an issue with other residents until this year. The people staying upstairs had people come to stay over and parked in front of our bedroom window. It was a little embarassing because my boyfriend was just getting out of bed as they stood directly ourside getting something from their boot. We spoke to them and they apologised and they were respectful in future. However a black Audi reg no MV66 NFF started to park outside our windows. It was there for a few days. When we enquired who's it was, we were told by our neighbour that they'd seen them park up and then walk round the corner to a property in the courtyard. After a few days of having to keep our curtains closed for privacy, I put a note on their car asking them to please park respectfully and note the 'house rules' and it didn't happen again. Maybe you could consider designated parking spots to stop confrontation or maybe put a note about this in your email confirmations instead of the handbook which people may not read. Another issue we had was internet access and wifi. We expect the signal to not be as good as at home but this was by far the worst year for wifi connection we've experienced with you. We are certainly not gadget addicts or internet junkies but we are walkers and adventurers and although we do a lot of planning and research before our holiday, we need to keep on top of weather reports while we are there and research alternative things to do if the need arises. We could rarely access internet even when we registered our details to be able to use the wifi. One final point which is very minor is that one of the glasses in the cupboard was dirty when we arrived and there were a few cobwebs on the ceiling in the bedroom. I normally wouldn't even notice the cobwebs but I've recently taken cleaning work myself after my business suffered over lockdown so I'm now prone to notincing that. After all of this we will still book for next year because we love it there so much.

The apartment is really well located, with a short flight of steps taking you directly onto Ambleside's main shopping street.
Literally 2 mins to Tesco and 4 mins to Spar and Co-op. It is comfortably equipped with lots of attention to detail. The bathroom is especially good (large, with a powerful shower). There is a glass-roofed 'lobby' with loads of space to hang wet coats (or in our case to store muddy running shoes). I would re-iterate what others have said about the parking. You have a space in the centre bay in a line of three. If flats 1 and 3 have both occupied their spaces, then you will only be able to get into parking space no. 2 if you are in a fairly small car (we have a VW Golf). This is because you are restricted on the 'open' side by the wall of the apartment block, so you can only swing the front of the car out by a certain amount or you will scrape the wall. If either of the spaces 1 or 3 are empty, however, then you have no problem as you can drive straight in. So when the instructions say 'medium-sized car', take it seriously! There was no electric whisk/mixer in the kitchen. Not a big deal but my kids wanted to bake. The recycling situation is not satisfactory. You basically throw all of your rubbish into a single bin located outside the front door. If you want to recycle then a note in the flat advises you to go to a public recycling centre in Ambleside. This may be the fault of the council rather than the flat owners, but surely there is provision for household recycling collection in Ambleside? All in all, a very well located and well equipped flat, with lovely views a bonus.

It was our first unpleasant stay in Lake District.
Firstly the car parking place is suitable only for a small car.We had to use a car park when arrived. As we walked in we smelled of damp.There were provided dishwasher tablets, but no dishwasher....also washing machine, but no washing rack..no toilet roll either?I booked our holiday as a family holiday for 3 people, unfortunately our daughter couldnât come because of her work.At some point it was good, as the place is definitely not big enough for 3 adults, itâs 2 bed flat, but only 2 seater sofa in the living room.Besides no side tables or coffee table to have a cup of tea or a glass of wine while rest your feet and watch telly after walking long hours. The sofa was so dirty and old, didnât want to sit down......so many doors in the living area was annoying. 2 sockets didnât work and the frying pan was so out of shape and old in the kitchen.....shocking.Microwave was right next to the bin, couldnât even think to get my food in it, disgusting. Shower head and a bath mat needed cleaning, black dirt on both on them and cold water tap had to turn anti-clockwise? One full size mirror in the flat and a wall clock would have been nice and thoughtful. Everything was so dirty or dated or both and holiday In that place certainly overpriced. We loved a view and a central location of Ambleside.So many nice places to go for a meal or drinks and go for a walk. Wouldnât recommend and wouldnât return.

Pros of Barn End: Newly renovated cottage, tastefully decorated and clean.
Well equipped kitchen and fantastic log burner ( bring your own logs) to dry off by. Location very close to a pub and plenty of public footpaths nearby. Electric radiators that were easy to use and kept our towels nice and toasty Cons of Barn End Grade ii listed building means single glazed windows which can be noisy next to the road. We struggled to keep the place free of damp without the log burner lit ( it was a very rainy week in October) including the shower room that only had a noisy extractor fan. The bed looked more comfortable on the photos and we even tried flipping the (2 zipped together) mattresses to see if it would help. The sofa was also a bit uncomfortable to sit on for longer periods of time (which we did because of the rain!) Overall I was happy with my holiday and have learned to expect these things in any case so decide for yourself, we also didn't work out the electric shower until most of the way through the week and had been using the eco setting which was quite low pressure. The high setting seems to have temperamental temperature control being an electric shower, I'd recommend having a fiddle with it to get the right temperature. Parking was also just off the road and I could easily fit my mazda 2 in the space but not sure about larger cars

This apartment has a wonderful location with a brilliant view from the balcony but still just two minutes walk from the town.
It was well equipped with comfortable beds and a very good bathroom and shower. We were accompanied by our 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend who were out and about a lot which helped with space. It is quite small for four people, but it was very warm during the week we were there, and we didn't feel particularly cramped. We were able to use the balcony for sitting out on as well as the living room which has a very comfortable sofa big enough for two. The dining table folds out to seat four comfortably for meals. There is also an additional sitting area in the front porch which traps the heat very effectively. The TV had plenty of on demand channels and WiFi was good. The parking space is a bit tricky and we were lucky that the space behind wasn't being used which left us a bit more wiggle room. In fact, we only moved the car once during the week as there is so much to do from Ambleside itself. We got a useful pack of easy to follow walks from tourist information, it's also only ten minutes walk to the pier and we got all day tickets for the boats, buses are frequent and we also enjoyed the cinema, cafes and restaurants in town. A great little base in a great little town. Highly recommended.
