• "The house is in a great location and is well equipped."

  The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were clean. However there are a few issues that really let it down. Basic maintenance issues like torn furniture, a dirty information sheet and dead insects lying around when we checked in gave a bad first impression. There is also significant mold in the downstairs bedroom and the rats in the neighbours garden is an ongoing problem, I saw these on two occasions.

• "Very convenient position just a short walk from Ambleside centre with ample parking."

  The kitchen was well equipped, but some cutlery was lacking. (Not many teaspoons and no desert spoons) The outside needs attention, such as path, banister and garden seat. If we come to Ambleside again we will hope to rent Oaks Field again.

• "Property in great location great parking, big space for large family, sadly this is our second stay here but won’t be returning."

  Downstairs shower was reported a year ago, still not fixed, upstairs shower rail doesn’t work either, rats seen every day from next door garden

  I am sorry to hear you were disappointed The downstairs shower has been repaired and the main shower rail were both checked in early December 2025and there was no issue. I will get the matter looked at again. There is no rodent issue with our house and I will speak to the neighbour about his bird feeder. Thank you for your comments. Property Owner

• "Need to leave more toilet rolls."

  There were only 3 of us and we had to leave early and it nearly ran out. As previous stays, fantastic location and parking. Could do with more storage in the kitchen, maybe some shelves.

• "Fantastic location - easy walking distance (downhill) to shops, pubs, bakeries etc."

  Well-equiped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Unfortunately, the upstairs shower cubicle doors were broken (didn't shut properly). From visitor book this has been an ongoing issue since Oct 2024! Also, the bar that holds the shower head needs replacing as shower head droops when it's on. Therefore, had to hold shower head in hand when showering (partly to avoid water leaking out through the unclosed/broken door). Downstairs electric shower is very old - we didn't use it because the water leaks out of the cubicle (on the toilet side) when the shower is on. Bathrooms desperately need updating/maintenance. We were walking in the Lakes (fantastic weather) and were out for most of the day but a decent shower at the end of the day would have been nice.

  I am sorry you had an issue with the shower door. They simply click on back on to rail by depressing the silver button on the tracking wheel. Thankyou for letting us know Property Owner

• "We were not happy with the property which was advertised as a cottage, but was really a semi detached house upside down."

  We did not think it was worth the money we paid things that had been referred to in the visitors book for years back still not sorted out. We will not be coming back as it was like being on a housing estate instead of a holiday home.Rogerand Margaret..

  We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. The nature and location of the house is clear from the photographs and description available to you.This is especially so when you have rated the accuracy of the listing as 75 %. Property Owner

• "Cottage was in an ideal location clean and tidy a bit a maintenance would have made it a perfect stay."

  The dishwasher and downstairs shower didn’t work. The shower screen was broken and many handles and door hinges faulty.

  The dishwasher has now been replaced and we are awaiting a quote to replace the downstairs shower unit. Pleased to say shower screen was not broken and now works fine. Thank you for feedback and hope you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

  A lovely spacious property with a well equipped kitchen.

• "This was a lovely property and very close to Ambleside."

  Lots of space and in the main it was clean. There does seem to be quite a bit of damp particularly downstairs and the downstairs bathroom had quite a lot of bugs in the shower basin so we didn't use this. The kitchen had all good utensils and cooking facilities and easy to use. The lounge was cosy and warm. It would be good if checkout was just an hour later. 10am is quite early. Particularly on a Sunday. Other than this, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

• "3 of us stayed so one room each - I picked downstairs ."

  The room felt damp so I had to try and put heating on ( tricky) . Extractor fans would be good . Area is handy and quiet. No real outside space ( no problem when weather mixed when we were there). We would stay again now we know the house quirks .

• "We only stayed for two nights, and weren't in the house too much - but had a great time and I think it's a fantastic house."

  Our decision to choose your house was mainly based on cost and parking. We were impressed with how neat, tidy and clean and comfortable it was. Great views and very peaceful. Loved the layout and spacious rooms, and only a short walk into town. I think the published pictures don't do the property justice, but I wasn't worried as having lived in Ambleside for a number of years and been inside properties throughout the town, I think the more modern properties and this area are very underrated, and have a lot of advantages over the older more traditional style properties lower down in the town.

• "Curtain pole in lounge broken so unable to pull curtains on at night could do ..."

  Curtain pole in lounge broken so unable to pull curtains on at night could do with both showers updating especially the one downstairs otherwise everything perfect nice touch with the tea and coffee sachets left and dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid other landlords take note all in all a very comfortable stay and very secure for the dogs out back

  We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We apologise that the curtain pole was damaged. Unfortunately, the previous Guests had not reported the damage so that it was not possible to replace and repair in time for your arrival. The issue has now been resolved. Property Owner

• "It would be helpful if towelling and large dustbin bags could be provided sufficient for six for their length of stay."

  We found there was insufficient storage space in the kitchen for our own commodities. There were far too many cooking implements taking up valuable space. It is too crowded to sit more than 4 at a time around the kitchen table. We used the one in the lounge. The house was really well stocked with reading and walking literature. The property is also very well situated within the national park.
