"Pros - good location. Short walk into town. Room clean, modern & spacious. Self check in with good clear instruction prior to arrival. Cons - Car park full so had to pay for parking on car park next door. No plates at breakfast only cardboard dishes which made it difficult to butter toast as the bread wouldn't fit in the dish. Would definately stay here again though & just maybe arrive earlier to get a parking space."

"Great stay for a group of 12 people, great location however parking cars were a problem for us. The house itself wasn’t very clean on arrival, lack of toilet rolls. Plus lack of showers for the number of guests, only two and one bath. The steps near the sauna were very wet after a heavy rainfall. Right in the centre of Ambleside that have lovely shops and restaurants, we had a meal at Luigi’s and can highly recommended it."
