Guests say
Guests have had a delightful stay at Badgers Rake 12 Squirrels Nest, praising its excellent location with stunning views, cleanliness, and well-equipped nature. The property offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, though access to the garden may be challenging for some. The thoughtful touches by the owners enhance the experience, ensuring a memorable visit to Ambleside.
The property is consistently described as clean. One mention of an uncleaned window suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness is highly regarded.
The location is praised for its fabulous views and proximity to town, despite the steep climb to the property. This climb might be a minor inconvenience for some guests.
The property is considered comfortable and cosy, with guests feeling at home. The living room view adds to the comfort, making it a favourite for many.
Facilities are well-received with everything guests could need, including sharp knives and ample instructions. However, the mention of inaccessible garden access for pets indicates a need for some maintenance.
While guests appreciate the practical needs addressed by the owners, there is no mention of gifts, and therefore it cannot be confirmed if thoughtful gestures such as gifts are consistently provided.

Excellent apartment in a quite location but still close town. The view from the living room is fabulous and makes the stairs worth the effort! It was clean and had everything we needed.
