The property is praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and well-equipped nature. While there are some concerns about cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests choosing to rebook for future stays.
The property generally appears to be well-kept, but there are several mentions of issues such as black mould around windows, a non-working extractor fan, and a need for a deep clean. These isolated incidents suggest that while the overall standard of cleanliness is good, there is room for improvement.
The location is consistently lauded for its convenience and stunning views. Guests appreciate the proximity to transport options and the ability to explore without a car. The scenic surroundings and easy access to local attractions contribute to a high score in this category.
Guests find the apartment comfortable, with large rooms and new bathrooms enhancing the experience. However, there are comments about a bed being too soft and noise from the nearby road, which slightly detract from the overall comfort level.
The apartment is praised for being well-equipped and having excellent facilities. Nonetheless, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a broken dishwasher and shower problems, which indicate that while facilities are generally good, attention to maintenance is needed.
While guests mention a welcome wine, it is not consistently referenced across the reviews, and there is an indication that it may not always be provided. As such, it is important to note that while thoughtful gestures may be offered, they are not guaranteed.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

And again, glad we did. This time we brought my stepdaughter with us, we had a great time, with good weather, a touch cloudy, but very warm every day, lovely. Much walking in the beautiful hillsides and around the lakes, we hardly noticed the week fly by, as it always seems to. So many thanks, P+K.

The apartment is immaculate with tasteful furnishings. The amazing view towards Windermere and the pier from the bay window is awesome making the window seat area very popular. It was lovely to have a 3 generational family holiday in such a beautiful apartment in a stunning location.We hope to return one day. Many thanks.
