  • "The location of the place was fantastic, although access to the parking spot wasn't ideal as it was right on the corner of a busy road with a bit of a blind bend."

    The actual parking spot was a little difficult to navigate out of as you had to reverse onto the aforementioned busy road. Whilst there were issues with parking, we couldn't fault the accommodation. It was clean, spacious and had all we needed for 4 adults and 1 baby. We loved our stay at the place and would recommend.

  • "Wansfell Loft is an excellent place to stay."

    It's easy walking distance to everything you need in Ambleside which, is in the heart of The Lakes. The accommodation is spacious and fitted out to a high standard, with a very well equipped kitchen and has its own dedicated parking space. The instructions for obtaining access and keys etc are very easy to follow. I've stayed here two years running now and would not hesitate to book it again.

    many thanks for the feedback Andrew. great to see you have come back for the second year. Property Owner

  • "This is an amazing property."

    Exceeded expectations. We were a family of 5 adults-who comfortably fitted into the property without being on top of each other. We had reservations regarding parking 3 cars. The property comes with one space. The other 2 cars parked without charge within the road of the property. Location was perfect. Lots of shops, restaurants and pubs easily walkable. Fantastic bus service which enabled us to not use the cars. Great walks from property. Would definitely return. Thank you so much.

    Really appreciate the feedback. we are so glad you had a lovely time. Hope to see you there again. Property Owner

  • "Spacious apartment."

    Very convenient location for town centre shops and restaurants. Good to have a parking space and it is only a short walk to the bus station with frequent reliable services to most places throughout the Lakes. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Flight of stairs to entrance, so not suitable for people with mobility problems.

    Thank you for the feedback, always appreciated Property Owner

  • "3rd consecutive year staying at the property."

    It gives us the space we need and is in an excellent location which are the main reasons we have returned. However, the mattresses and bedding are disappointing. I understand mattresses are to taste, so this would not be a criticism on its own but the duvets are way too thick and heavy for the time of year and a fan should be provided in the bedrooms. If I hadn’t had taken my own fan, sleeping would have been unbearable in the top double bedroom and you can’t really open the window in case of rain overnight. We love the property but for the price, small touches would make all the difference. We visit Ambleside every year and have already discussed whether we will

    we understand and agree with you that rooms can be warm in the peak summer months and will discuss buying some fans that can also be placed on a timer if needed. The Duvets are a bit of a mind field as we used to have a 13.5 tog and a 4 tog Duvet in each room. The spare Duvets were in the bed draws labelled. Unfortunately we have had customers complain that when the 4 togs were on in the summer and the weather turned that they were too thin and other times when customers have taken the spare Duvets and used them (we assume) in the lounge as covers, they have then thrown them back under the stairs stained with food and drink, which when found we had to remove. Because of this the decision was made to go for a 10.5 tog on each bed. thank you for the useful feedback Property Owner

    Four of us stayed here for a week and there was plenty of room, plenty of hot water and a very well appointed kitchen. The apartment is decorated to a high standard and is in easy walking distance to anything in Ambleside.

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. 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.
