  • "We had a wonderful stay at Lal Tethera, it had everything we needed."

    The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was amazing! It is well located in the town centre of Ambleside and can do lots of good walks from the front door. The parking permit was really useful and Lake Road Carpark was only around the corner. Would definitely stay again! Everything was very clean.

    Predominantly clean however certain areas would benefit from a deep clean Fridge cleaner needs to remove shelves and clean black mould in grooves Shower mouldy around the trim and glass grimy around the bottom of the shower would benefit from some limescale remover Cobwebs in the bedroom on the curtain pole and the curtain Wall by table mucky with grease spots needs repainting Toaster full of crumbs Vacuum cleaner very dusty needs wiping Bathroom blinds have mold spots Table mats very tired and worn Despite this we had a great stay of the above was sorted you would get a top score attention to detail is key

  • "We are regular visitors to the lakes and Ambleside in particular and have stayed in some wonderful cottages this stay was absolutely terrible."

    We went without hot water for 24 hours, where we were offered a first and last offer of £45 as compensation. Considering the property charges significantly more than this per night and to have an entire night and day without hot water with no offer of alternatives is diabolical. We had to use the kettle in the sink to wash ourselves and to wash up dishes which after a day of long hikes was hugely inconvenient. We didnt even get an apology for this inconvenience just a first and last offer which is significantly less than what we had paid per night. This isnt a one off issue as in the visitors book the hot water issue was mentioned by multiple guests. Do not book this property it was AWFUL. We will be now leaving reviews everywhere to warn others to avoid this property at all costs.

    I wish to reiterate our apology as it sounds it may have been lost in communication. Unfortunately we couldnt predict the valve on the boiler would fail during your stay. You reported the fault at 7pm one evening an engineer attended the next day sourced a part and fixed the fault by 4pm. I appreciate this was inconvenient hence offered 50% discount of 1 nights stay. The property also has a dishwasher which could have been used for the pots. To confirm all issues with hot water have now been resolved. Property Owner

  • "The flat was lovely - really great location and well equipped."

    Only issue was the shower - even on the highest temperature setting it was only ever lukewarm. I think perhaps there's something not right with it. Otherwise, everything else was great.

    Thank you for your feedback, glad you feel the apartment was lovely and had a great stay. Please accept our apologies not long after your stay a part failed on the boiler. This has now been replaced and any issues with hot water have been resolved. Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying

View on map

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants, and pubs in the village to suit all tastes, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
