"This is a great property close to the town centre."
It is very well equipped and comfortable.
The waterfall running past the apartment also it it character.
It is in ideal walking distance of Grasmere & Troutbeck and close enough to drive to the key sites in the National Park.
We had a lovely holiday here, thank you!

"The flex on the iron is worn in places and becoming a risk."
I think you should provide a hand towel for the upstairs toilet and face flannels with the towels downstairs. Otherwise extremely enjoyable, as always.

"Beautifully furnished apartment, especially loved the homely kitchen, in a great, peaceful area of Ambleside."
Bit of an up hill climb from town, but through such a pretty area you don’t notice the hill!
Couple of little niggles upon check in, but Steve from Heart of the Lakes sorted everything very quickly and smoothly.
All round a super place, and great service. Thank you.

"In a great location."
We brought our 7 seater estate car so negotiation of dedicated car port gave issue initially but we good drivers tend to learn quickly. Rooms are dark due to wrap around veranda and tall trees, bathrooms without natural light, but the space and sound of the mountain brook made up for it. We expected a welcome pack of small jar coffee or tea, cake, biscuits like every other place we've stayed at and we didn't find the milk until much later after heading straight to shops for some! The microwave is low power because I had to cook my porridge for 3 minutes longer than usual!. The pendant lamp shades above the breakfast bar are too low as we banged our heads on them every time we sat there. There was a smell mostly in small double bedroom next to main bathroom, we think backing up from toilet/sceptic tanks? Also smell in other bedrooms. Hope this helps. All in all a good stay.
Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. As this is self catering accommodation it is down to the owner whether they choose to provide extra goods. The owner will be able to see your suggestions and can review them where necessary.
We are glad that you did enjoy your stay and the location.

"This is a beautiful apartment."
I could live here. There were two days when there was a problem with electrics shorting out. Luckily the weather was lovely so we were out most of the day but it took from my reporting no electricity at 10am to them fixing it at around 3pm. On our last day, we were up at 4.30am. It was very dark downstairs, there were no lights working and the ensuite and family bathroom were in complete darkness. Upstairs, some lights but no sockets working. We had to wash in the upstairs loo and pack in the dark. Luckily I found a socket in the kitchen cupboard was working so we could eventually get a coffee and breakfast. I reported this at 9am when the office opened. Otherwise the property was a pleasure to live in even if for a very short time.

"We love leafy nook and this is our third visit to the same property in 5 years."
This year the additional kitchen diner refit made a huge difference to our time spent in the home. We usually visit in summer and an autumn trip was booked with caution, but even with the odd rainy hour, we made use of the snug sofa and large table with a TV in the room to all be together and enjoy some quality time.

"Some comfortable reclining chairs on the balcony would make it really nice to sit out listening to the water."
The current chairs are a little upright and rigid so more relaxed chairs would be a bonus. Everything else was perfect and we will be back again!

"While the property worked for us on what was a very hot week, there were times when the house felt a little damp."
The downstairs in particular was extremely chilled - on a week where the weather was 30 degrees plus, we sometimes had to put the heating on! This is ok, but it was the damp feel that was not so great. Certainly not a ‘complaining’ issue, but one that affects our marks. We really, really liked the novelty of being right next to the beck, and sitting on the balcony was so lovely and calming; more could probably be made of this in the advertising. The children also loved the novelty of being in an ‘upside down’ house! Upstairs looked lovely and was comfortable following what we assume to be recent refurbishments; the downstairs now probably needs some attention.

"Lovely, well equipped, spacious property in a great location with the added bonus of off road parking."
We have stayed here many times before and upgrade of the kitchen to a kitchen/dining/living area is a real improvement. Although property is advertised to accommodate 5 it does have 3 double bedrooms ( one is a small double bed with access only on one side) so can accommodate 6..
Ambleside is close by and provides an excellent bus service throughout the Lakes.
We would highly recommend this property and will be returning.

"Leafy Nook was an absolute gem of a place to stay."
Situated perfectly in close proximity to Ambleside town centre with all amenities within a sort stroll away. Excellent place to just park your car and explore the surrounding area. Plenty of family friendly walks from Ambleside, a place we have frequented over many years. The accommodation itself was clean, modern, well equipped and extremely welcoming, a bit like home from home. There were 3 HD TVs in the accommodation which were not mentioned in the description - this was ideal as there was no fighting over TVs in the evenings! If there are any criticisms to be made (and this is nit-picking and did not really affect us much), radio reception was poor and virtually non-existent in the lower ground floor. The property is not really suitable for people with physical disabilities as there is no wheelchair access and the rooms were downstairs. There was a bit of noise coming from the accommodation upstairs - not a problem in the night as the sleeping arrangements were all below the ground floor.
In summary - pleasantly surprised with the visit and will definitely consider staying again in the near future! Many thanks to the owners for a great stay!

"Overall the property more than met our expectations for comfort, standard and quality of furnishings etc."
, The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery and utensils.
When we arrived several light fittings weren't working due to the bulbs but there were no replacements available. It would help if the maintenance team checked these before leaving.
Instructions for the dustbins would have been useful. We eventually found them.

"Cottage was very clean,up to date and everything in it that was needed."
We only took one car as stipulated and there was parking allotted to our cottage. Walking into town for people with walking difficulties is a bit tricky but it only took 5 to 10 minutes and there is no handrail going down stairs to bedrooms but overall we were very pleased with cottage and would definitely return.

"The parking description is a bit disingenuous because there are very few visitors spaces and no obvious off road parking."
Also, no mention of height restrictions on car port space (which isn’t signed either).
The tumble drier function on the washer isn’t working very well and the DVD player has a strange buzzing noise.
Otherwise it is a nice spot with the river position being a bonus.
