"An incredible house in the perfect position!"
! Garth Hill house is finished to an amazing standard with every conceivable extra thought of. The rooms are all very generous and there are wonderful communal areas for 12 or many quiet nooks to get away the crowd in small grouos. We had a great week with wall to wall sunshine, with our whole extended family 11 adults, a 15 month old and 2 dogs. It has stunning views and is easy strolling distance into Ambleside. The icing on the cake was various daily flybys at low level by fighter jets past the back of the house!!

"Fantastic home for a large group of friends."
Very rare do you get a property that allows all guests to have rooms of equal space and quality. Garth Hill House is furnished to a high quality and is beautiful. Everything you need for a comfortable stay from glassware to cutlery all there in abundance. The location is amazing, close to the centre and fabulous walks. Will definitely be booking again for a return visit.

"Lovely accommodation in the centre of Ambleside."
Kitchen was fully equipped with a large table perfect for family meal times. All the bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. Great porch area for storing boots and coats with a dehumidifier to dry out our clothes after long wet walks. Huge sofa in the living area where we could all fit on and settle down to watch films of an evening. We had a great week there and would definitely return.

"House is lovely, we had an issue with the heating but alternative heaters were provided quickly and every effort was made to resolve the fault."
Appreciated the Christmassy feel and was spacious for the group.
We couldn’t use the electric charger after downloading the app it said the charger wasn’t available for public charging - would be great to resolve as handy being able to charge at the house. As an alternative we went to booths supermarket.

"A fabulous house for large group, close to Ambleside centre."
The house has everything you would want to go away, the only negatives things we feel for a large group were the limited coffee pods and a single oven, I do feel you are expected to take everything, there were only a couple of bin bags, no washing up liquid or bristle pad. The internet didn’t work, the owner did look into this straight away and the TV aerial stopped working on our last night. These are all minor things which can be resolved and we would definitely return to the house, we had a wonderful stay.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologise that there was a network fault at the exchange during your stay. It has been fixed. There are two ovens and a further combination oven/microwave. We will check if the welcome and cleaning pack was missing.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

"Wow what a view!"
The house was in a beautiful, quiet location. Close to the centre of Ambleside with all its amenities and top notch walking shops and pubs. Although the house is situated in the centre of Ambleside, the views were gorgeous, with extensive views from the house across the hills. I enjoyed sitting on the sofa with the fire on, looking out of the window. It is well connected to walks straight from the house, or a short drive away. We enjoyed a walk up Wansfell. We also did some days out at Coniston Lake and Ullswater, which are both a short drive away. Both with lovely walks, boat hire and cafes. The house was well equipped, with lots of things to keep the children entertained. There was lots of space for the whole party to be together or to have time apart. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you very much, we would like to stay again.

"The property is amazing, and couldn’t be more comfortable, spacious and well-appointed."
Guests want for absolutely nothing! Even in the kind of inclement weather we encountered (several rather wet days!) there is so much to enjoy in the house that we almost didn’t notice the rain. From table football to pool games, to many a happy hour baking in the wonderful kitchen, we were fantastically entertained. A huge credit to the hosts, who have been so very thoughtful in creating a holiday home that truly caters for all – homely and inviting but also feels really special. They really have thought of everything!
The house provides the perfect base for exploring Ambleside (which has so much to offer) and is a short hop to the likes of Grasmere, Coniston and Windermere – a true Lakes experience. We had a wonderful holiday and couldn’t recommend Garth Hill House highly enough.

"In general the property (Garth Hill House) fitted our requirements very well."
it is spacious and very well equipped and in an ideal location on the outskirts of Ambleside. A couple of things that are worth noting are. The washing machine seemed to take hours to cycle. This could have been operator problem however several operators had attempts without success. The noise insulation between floors is very poor and every movement above can be heard. Not really a huge problem for a one week family stay but worth noting. The garden is a bit of a mess and could be much better kept and more colorful. Overall a good house for a large family get together.

Thank you for your feedback.
We take all comments on board, the washing machine is new and has a short a short washing cycle. The gardener attends fortnightly, so may have missed your arrival. There is Amtico flooring but we have laid rugs where practical. We would love to welcome you back in the future, we are glad you had a good holiday.

"This is a large 6 bedroom deluxe property decorated and maintained to the highest of standards."
All the bedrooms are large with plenty of storage space, with 5 of the six having on-suite and the sixth having a separate bathroom. The kitchen is large with all modern appliances and everything you would need for cooking and catering for a large group. Joined onto the kitchen is a large dinning table with seating for 14. The lounge has a 75" TV and soundbar and more than adequate U shaped sofa arrangement to cater for large parties.
All in all it provided for a great 4 day stay in the heart of Ambleside.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we would love to welcome you back to Garth Hill House again in the future. Lakes Lovers on behalf of the owners.

"The house is stunning and beautifully presented throughout."
We loved our special stay there for my 70th! Games room lovely extra and was perfect for fun evenings.
Just few things to point out as we realise this has only been in operation since October-
With large parties of people who may well be put at different times definitely need more than one key!
The cleaners really should put out bins on Wednesdays as we arrived Wed afternoon and didn’t read thro guest info immediately! Also the bin bag storage area was full of other people’s bags as was the main bin!
Definitely should provide more loo rolls.
We were very surprised that no shower gel was provided. Only bathroom cleaner in shower area.
My main issue is with Sykes themselves I’m afraid. No telephone numbers can be answered. All cut off after information suggesting using your app or WhatsApp or email for contact. I tried all three-no answers to emails and extremely slow responses-5 days- to reply on WhatsApp and not giving any helpful answers. Very unimpressed with customer services.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay for your birthday!
Further to your comments, we do not give out multiple sets of keys as we encourage guests to use the keysafe at the property.
We take your comments on board, regarding the bins and will pass on the comments to the relevant team.
As the property is self catering, shower gel is not provided.
We are sorry to hear that you had difficulties in contacting us. We will again pass on your comments to the relevant teams.
