Fabulous views and location. The property is situated in an elevated position above the village, which was perfect for us. Plenty of space to cook, relax and unwind. Excellent communication from our host.

“Perfect apartment for a stay in Ambleside”
Perfect little apartment for a stay in Ambleside with great views over the town. It's just two minutes from the shops and cafes but feels very private. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay and the bedroom was very comfortable. Dave was communicative and helpful, and he kindly let us check out late and leave the car so we could squeeze in a fell walk on the second morning!

“great spot”
Really nice apartment, the owner, Dave, has taken great efforts to make it comfortable and cosy. V well equipped, clean, warm, easy to find and access. The location was perfect for us, just above the centre of Ambleside, so close to everything, only a few minutes walk down some steps, but its elecvated position meant you felt slightly removed from the noise and traffic, and the views were great. Would stay again, Many thanks to the owners

“Excellent location”
The location of the property was brilliant. Everything you need right on the doorstep. Dave (the host), got in contact just before arrival to let us know some useful information e.g parking etc... Then on the day got in touch the moment the apartment was ready (before expected check in time)
