A great love for walking recommended

“My husband and I enjoyed our holiday at Tweenways very much.”

The location is superb with the added advantage of off-road parking to the side of the property enabling us to leave the car and use the excellent local bus service. The landlady visited on our last day to say goodbye, was very friendly, and as others have noted, there were nice touches like milk and chocolates left for us on arrival and a lot of information re walks and places to visit, places to eat in the area etc. My reason for not giving full marks was the slightly misleading information regarding the kitchen facility. Your list describes this as a compact kitchen, but the owner's own leaflet actually calls it a breakfast kitchen which would perhaps be more accurate. There is no oven and space is short, so it would not do to be too ambitious in planning to prepare evening meals. I feel the flat is aimed mainly at those who would expect to eat out in the evenings and there are choices available nearby. Seating area, bathroom and bedroom with storage were very good and appreciated, so our overall opinion is favourable. I would recommend it on location alone.

“This is a perfect place from which to enjoy the glories of Ambleside and the district beyond.”

So many places to eat and walk; the owner has even produced their own walk book! The kitchenette is quite small so this might not be good if you were planning to eat in all the time but with so many lovely eateries in town and a short drive away, this was not a problem for us. Bed and sofa were comfortable and having WiFi is always a bonus.

“Amazing property that is self contained and cosy Owner is friendly and left us fresh milk and chocolates on our arrival Would recommend this apartment to anyone , but be aware it is situated on the upper floor so access may not be suitable for all, though this is highlighted in the listing as well.”
Ms Johnson December 2018

“Listing was misleading because the kitchen was a cupboard with a noisy extractor fan, a very small hob and no oven.”

The 2 seater settee in the small dining room come kitchen had seen better days and the seats were sunken. The underfloor heating in the bathroom wasn’t working so the light fitted extractor fan when running made the small bathroom cool. While there was a very comfortable bed, the heating for the apartment was connected to the landlady’s downstairs. Therefore there wasn’t no way to operate the heating independently in the apartment. In the middle of December this is very problematic and the landlady needed to be contacted three times during our four night stay to request that the heating was turned on. On Christmas Day, we returned to a cold flat to sit with our coats on until the heating was turned on. Overall, a poor and disappointing experience.

Thank you for your feedback. The property description does describe this as a kitchenette and works having a microwave, oven and hob. We feel the couch is cosy and comfortable. The property was heated at 26deg during your stay. Sykes owner relations

“Nice welcoming touches!”

Very well situated cottage
Mr Clarke May 2018

“The accommodation was great for myself and my husband; a very comfortable apartment with everything You may need and more!”

Parking space at the side of accommodation, where we left our car for most of the week, due to being within walking distance of everything and good bus service to other towns. We had a fantastic week- Location perfect -just a 5 minute walk from Ambleside town, and so many beautiful walks- We particularly enjoyed the walk we took into Grasmere! Lots of lovely shops in the town, a very nice park and plenty of good places to eat and drink. The gorgeous weather was a bonus too! ( May half term). Perfect!
Mr Barman May 2018

“This was very much a last minute booking; the evening before we wished to stay!”

The staff at Sykes were extremely helpful and efficient in processing my booking and confirming with the owner that the apartment was indeed available in spite of the very short notice. There was an issue either with a link or with my email preventing me from completing the booking on line but when I notified them I received a telephone call immediately from another member of Sykes who processed the payment successfully. Given the last minute circumstances this was much appreciated. The apartment was perfect. Ideally situated in Ambleside, with dedicated off road parking provided. We had a very friendly welcome from the owner, Helen. The apartment was scrupulously clean with all the facilities required for self-catering and we were extremely comfortable throughout our stay. Little extra touches such as a fresh pint of milk in the fridge and a bowl of chocolates as a treat were very thoughtful, so too the provision of local walking guides and a booklet outlining places to eat and other local amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return to Upper Tweenways in the future. A big thank you to the staff at Sykes who made it so easy to book and also to Helen for providing such a wonderful apartment.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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. On the lakeside at Waterhead there is 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. Apart from 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 photographedbuildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
