Debra
It has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard and has everything you could possibly need for a holiday stay. It is in a great central location, easy to access Ambleside and surrounding areas on foot, and you can catch a bus to the rest of the lakes from the main terminus (£2 a trip!) if you don't want to use your car. We will definitely stay again in the future and have already recommended it to family and friends!

This wasn't enough. Otherwise, great property. On a noisy (traffic). Parking is a pita.
