  This is a single room studio apartment with a small kitchen, a double bed and a 3 seater sofa.

  The kitchen was very well stocked with high quality wares and the bathroom with dedicated shower was also of a good standard. But, space is quite limited particularly if you decide to stay for a week. The single-room space is tightly packed with the above facilities leaving no free space to even stretch or do yoga in the mornings. Smoke alarm is sited in the low ceiling close to the cooker which frightened us but fortunately we didn't set off the alarm with our limited cooking! Activity in the upstairs flat can sound booming sometimes due to low ceiling. Lack of on-site parking is definitely an issue as spaces may not always be available in the three designated car parks for the long-stay permit issued. We felt a space for the studio could have been carved out of the three/four car parking bay that adjacent prospect house guests have. All this said, the studio is well situated, generously kitted out and well maintained, worth considering

  This is a lovely accommodation right in the centre of Kendal.

  The apartment is clean, stylish and exceptionally comfortable, with modern facilities - particularly the very nice kitchen and bathroom. The master bedroom is spacious and features a with a walk-in wardrobe, the bed itself was extremely comfortable and I enjoyed good night's sleep throughout my stay. The second bedroom (unused) also looks cosy and peaceful. Car parking is in an adjacent courtyard and is safe and secure, with a bay dedicated to the property. The yards that house Camden Building give access via alleyways directly into the main town centre and the local shops, pubs and eateries - so an absolutely ideal spot. The owners sent me an email prior to my visit giving me its exact location and parking details, and also left a bottle of wine with a welcome note attached - which was a nice and unexpected surprise. I will most certainly be booking this property again in future and can highly recommend it.

  We had a great stay and the unexpected snowfall made it really magical.

  A couple of things that we would like to raise. The outside lighting to the patio and steps were faulty and were flickering intermittently which lead to us walking into a patio planter on our way back into the property. Shelf required in shower for shower and hair wash.Body and hand wash provided (1) had to be kept moved from shower to basin. Wine glasses very fragile glass and cracked both of them whilst drying (replaced them with more durable ones but not as elegant). Been to Prospect cottage 3 times in past 2 years, a great place to stay, great facilities, very comfortable bed and a great studio overall. The Golden Rule pub 110 yards down the hill is fantastic, real fires with great ales and wine and lovely atmosphere and crowded mostly with walkers/hikers like us. Well done for great accommodation.

  Prospect Cottage Studio really did deliver to its description within its marketing material.

  The studio was well laid out and although compact was really spacious and ideal for our needs for two people.No pets and no children under five meant that the property was fresh and clean and had a quite distinct newness about it.The location was great, away from the main streets of the town of Ambleside but close enough and within easy reach of all amenities. The Golden Rule pub was just a couple of hundred yards away from the studio down the hill which must be the best one in Ambleside with a great selection of hand pulled beer, lagers and choice of wines.Great pork pies. The studio was a great base for numerous walks and within easy reach of buses at super regular intervals. All in all a great stay and would recommend to any couple looking for that extra special hideaway. Derek and Jane.

  Just to say we had a great stay.

  It was wonderful and very welcoming. A couple of points for feedback. The outside lights didn't come on and after inspecting the fuse board it transpires they had been turned off. Not good in the dark with difficult steps to negotiate. Secondly the central heating was set for twice a day. On the assumption that guests would be out during the day fine BUT it was Xmas holidays when the shops are shut and winter weather is bad.So to supplement the heating by asking guests to use the air heater on the electric fire only produced a dry heat that gave us both raging sore throats and kept us in bed two days. Not good. Other than that it was as good as it looked in the brochure. Thanks Garry staincliffe.
