We had a lovely stay and would have liked to have stayed longer. The accommodation is clean, comfortable, modern, and has everything that you need, and the location right in Ambleside is fantastic. A heads up that the car park is quite tight to manoeuvre in would have been helpful pre-arrival, and having to be out by 10am with all the beds stripped was a bit of an ask for us, but only small things. We would definitely recommend and would return should we find ourselves visiting the area again.
