"Our second stay at this property, and I know we'll be visiting again."
Fabulous accommodation and location, spotlessly clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Particular thanks to owners who responded promptly to our comments from previous visit 2 years ago and who now provide option of lighter weight duvets. This was very much appreciated during the unseasonably warm weather during our stay.
Hi Julia,
Many thanks for your kind feedback - we’re pleased that you enjoyed another stay at Larna.
Your previous suggestion to get a lighter duvet was spot-on and, I hope, made your stay a little more comfortable.
We look forward to welcoming you back again.

"Love Larna Place, have stayed more times than I can remember."
Such a well equipped, comfortable place to stay. Didn’t want to go home. We especially like the fact the heating isn’t controlled by the owners and locked down, all other accommodation we have tried which is, is always too cold for us (not even that old!) Hope to be back soon.

"Our 4th time at larnas place ."
It never let's us down .the one thing it needed is a toilet downstairs as it's a treck up stairs .but that's only our opinion. Everything you could need is provided and its to a high standard . Big beds big towells . Good for getting into the town it is only 10 minutes. its quiet apart from the pheasants at daylight and the owl in the night but that's because we opened the window. I'm a light sleeper. There are dear in the garden. I'd better not praise it to much or it will be to busy for us to go again.
Hi David,
Many thanks for your kind feedback.
I have to agree that it would have been great if the developers could have included another toilet downstairs (or even upstairs) when the property was renovated. If we could think of a way to install one now, we would, but I think it’ll be impossible without a major reconfiguration.
Anyway, I hope that your legs remain up to the challenge and that we’ll see you back!

"Larna Place provided us with a fantastic place to stay in The Lake District!"
The property is amazing and has great views from the bedroom and living room. Location is very handy with only a short stroll to Ambleside.
Our only recommendation is possibly a choice of firmer pillows would have improved our sleep even more!
Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your kind feedback - I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay.
Furthermore, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you’ve confirmed what I’ve been telling my wife about needing firmer pillows. She has finally conceded that it’s not just me that thinks-so! Please be assured that we’ll be getting some new ones ;-)

"Our 6th time at this property so clearly one of our favourites."
Nice and clean and well equipped. Cleaning highlighted as this is not always true in other properties we have stayed in so a big thank you to the cleaners. We were lucky to catch some hot sunny days and make use of the lovely patio on “Deerwatch”. Only missing from previous stays was the Prosecco and kitchen roll but everything else more than makes up for this and is much appreciated.
Hi Mr Toovey,
Many thanks, once again, for choosing to stay at Larna Place.
We’re pleased that you enjoyed your stay, but sorry that the Prosecco was not left out (there’s plenty there!) - we’ll remind housekeeping.

"Larna Place is outstanding."
Very, very high quality, well equipped and spotlessly clean. It's also in an ideal location. We thoroughly recommend it and hope to return.
I do want to say that I was not that impressed by Lakelovers. I have used them in the past and they were excellent but not this time. Twice I would have liked to speak to a person but couldn't. Also the recorded message said they were not open on a Saturday anymore, which is not ideal for a holiday letting company. I have had better experiences with other companies.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you had some problems contacting us. We have checked our out of hours service and can verify that after the message states the main office is closed that it then provides you with the out of hours phone number. We are glad that you found the property to be of a high quality and enjoyed the local area.

"I have previously provided feedback on the drier not working."
This was reported at the start of our week’s stay, but was never resolved. This reflects badly on Lakelovers, there was a total lack of communication on what was being done about the fault. Apart from this, the property is beautiful and we had a great stay. The hall is very cold though.
Thank you for your comments. The owner had ordered a replacement washer dryer and the brand installed it. Unfortunately the new unit came with a fault code on it and has had to be replaced! The old unit has been put back in for the mean time, which only has the washer function. A second replacement is due to arrive this Thursday 23rd March. We thank you for your comments.

"I actually thought the photos on the listing didn't do the property justice!"
We had a great time staying at Larna Place, and will be back to stay again for sure. It felt extremely clean, and the recent renovations have been done to an excellent standard. I had a bedding request made to the Lake Lovers team when we arrived and this was dealt with within a hour or two which was very much appreciated and great service.
As we had a young baby we found ourselves staying in more for meals and cooking than we would have done pre-baby, and were pleased to report the facilities on offer made this an enjoyable experience.
Again, the property really was lovely and in a superb location, great amenities, and lots of space.

"We loved staying at Larna Place."
It was more than we expected. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We would come back again.
Just for the owner - due to the heavy rain over a couple of days, the spouting above the front door was full of leaves, therefore, a lot of water pouring over the front door.
Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your feedback - I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay.
Thanks also for flagging the overflowing guttering - I hope you didn't get too wet as you entered and exited the property. The property is surrounded by trees and we do have the gutters cleared several times a year. However, in addition, we've now added a 'brush' to the section above the front door to Larna Place which, in theory, should help prevent it from logging in future. Nonetheless, we'll keep an eye on it.

"The property was lovely and presented nicely."
You need to get Lakelovers to listen to your customers. Twice we have stayed and in both occasions the second bedroom was left as a double bed despite being requested to be two singles. I even called a few days in advance to ask on this second visit that this be remembered and resolved. Yet on arrival, still it was a double. I called Lakelovers and a lovely house keeping lady came and sorted it, but bless her she shouldn’t have to do that. Plus I was lucky, I got there on a Friday at 4:20pm, if I had been after 5pm what chance would I have had?
Love the property, We will be back, just not impressed with Lakelovers since they sold out to Sykes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review further to your recent stay with us at Larna Place, although I was really disappointed to read your comments regarding the beds being incorrectly configured for you on both occasions you have been. Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.

"Fantastic apartment, very clean, well equipped and it really is just a short level walk into Ambleside."
The beds are extremely comfortable and better than those in some hotels we have stayed in recently. We were a little concerned about the potential traffic noise as it is on the main road, but this wasn't a problem at all. The only small negative for us is that the sofas were very low, but this is just personal preference due to our above average heights and age, and I am sure they are fine for most people. Eleven nights was not enough and we could have happily stayed for longer. Very happy overall and are likely to book again in warmer weather as we want to sit outside on the lovely terrace.
