"Amazing stay."
We found the apartment perfect for us a family of 4 (with a 2 year old and 4 year old). We would definitely look to stay here again. The location ideal!

"We stayed last year and decided to return again."
To be honest a little disappointed this time. Wasn't cleaned to quite the same standard with a few hairs around and a couple of cobwebs. Windows were pretty dirty as well.
Also some cutlery diminished, presumably taken, or damaged and not replaced. Limited number of mugs, ok for just the two of us but if four were there the dishwasher would be on overtime! Not sure if the extractors in the bathrooms worked as it got very hot in there. Sorry this sounds a bit negative but it could be really nice again with just a few touches. Rooms were nice and airy, although a full length wardrobe in the road side bedroom would help with hanging dresses or trousers from. Don't mind about whether you publish the feedback or not.

"The apartment was spacious, very clean and well-furnished in a great location."
The car parking permit was a boon and we were able to park easily each day. The boiler is quite noisy but fortunately was not a problem at nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Idle Mill 1."
Perfect location and property and facilities presented to a very high standard. It truly was like a home, with everything you could want, very relaxing. The parking permit was incredibly useful.
That said, with such a high standard, the showers were a little disappointing. The water pressure was very poor and also the floor in the second shower room was very slippery. Indeed I slipped, knocked off the drain cover and stood on the plastic upstands of the drain twice. Ouch.
That said, we would definitely return, and are already planning to.
Many thanks.

"Lovely apartment in a great location."
Some fantastic shops and restaurants within metres and the parking permit makes it easy to get around.

"Very nice property."
Clearly there is an issue with the boiler which needs attending to, we did call out a plumber who checked and we had to reset several times over the week but some clients may not be comfortable with that as I’m in the building trade. Consider changing mattress in bedroom as not that comfortable but overall a high standard and great stay

"Great place to stay with top of the range fittings."
Very good position to reach all the lakes and very handy for local restaurants. Spotlessly clean and we felt very relaxed there.

"A really lovely property, extremely well thought through with everything you needed for a comfortable stay."
We would absolutely return here and would happily recommend it to others too. My week didn't feel long enough for all the Lakes has to offer, so it's a real consideration to return to here and to Ambleside in the future. There were many touches to the property that again all I can say is extremely well considered by the owners. Brilliant break, sad to be home.

"Fantastic location, lovely apartment (beds amazing, sofa uncomfortable)."
Had everything you need.
Shame we had to speak to the Mountain Warehouse due to alarm going off right outside the car park bedroom. Initially they said it was the doors and ring the number on the box. Next time I did and the alarm company said they had no out of hours number for the company? Did alert Love Cottages who concluded that it’s an outside noise so not their issue (and nobody else had complained),, not really the response I expected after paying for a quality accommodation.

"This is a stylish, comfortable apartment in the heart of Ambleside and all it has to offer."
However, people should be warned that, due to the proximity of the apartment to the centre of Ambleside and being between a main road and car park, it can be noisy at times. We were frequently woken up on weekday mornings at around 7.00am by delivery vans/lorries, the council sweeping machine, etc. One morning to was just after 6.00am.
Also, there was sometimes significant noise from the apartment above - one evening it sounded as if they were dragging furniture around!!
One more thing is that one of the showers was not working because the previous tenants had not reported it until the day they left. It took nearly a week for it to be fixed. Will we get any compensation for this?
The telephone numbers on your information Email were also out of date, so perhaps the previous tenants could not get hold of anybody to report the shower problem. I hope the numbers have been updated.

The restaurant adjoining the apartment has changed names so we drove past it.
