We had a very happy holiday at Long Mynd. There was plenty of room for 6 people and the kitchen cupboards were well equipped. From the pictures supplied we thought the property was near the parking area shown but in fact it was further along as was the numbered parking for flat 7. We would be happy to return to this property.

Ambleside Trip. Really amazing value for money home. All the facilities you would ever need. Great location, pretty close to the centre of Ambleside. Clean and tidy. More than 2 cars would definitely be a struggle. Outdated decor - but to be expected at this super low price point.
