Hilary

A beautiful property, well central right in Ambleside. Cosy and warm and stocked with everything you would need. Definitely return next year.

This is a lovely cottagelots of space, comfortable, well equipped, great location. I have given it only 3 stars because there is clearly an ongoing problem with the toilet on the 1st floor, which needs to be dealt with. There was also no rubbish collection as expected on Thursdaythis needs to be organised . However, none of this spoilt our holiday.

Fantastic location, can't fault the cottage in any way, we loved it and will definitely be back

Have stayed here many times , always a nice cottage in Ambleside

Stephen

The house is great. My only true concern is the stairs. While understandably narrow and a little steeper than normal as is normal in a period home, they can be slippery. In socks or bare feet you have to be careful when using them not to slip down. It seemed more pronounced than our last visit and should be addressed. Otherwise the place is great and the.location outstanding.

Great location and lovely cottage overall would visit again. Bathrooms were modern and clean. Comfortable and clean bedding and good facilities. Personal preference would be to get a blind at bathroom window as end up hanging a towel over.

Stephen

Excellent location Well facilitated. Clean. Particularly pleased with the lovely bathroom. Bed in main bed room is lovely and large but really too large considering the awkwardness of maneuvering around the bed due to furniture and head height especially at night. Could have been improved by still large but slightly narrower bed. Really appreciated laundry facilities and especially tumble dryer. Disappointed with lack of soap and washing up liquid as just basics for such a nice property. Small moans only. Really a lovely place and would stay again and recommend to those who can manage stairs comfortably. Many thanks Mary Hartery for Mary and Steve

Great central location with short walk to waterfalls in Ambleside. Kitchen fitted with all you need and more, beds are comfortable and upstairs bathroom is great with shower and hot water. Rooms are all good size and was more than sufficient space for family of 4x. Park permit provided and found available space in main car park every time, c 15min walk pretty standard for Ambleside. Property could do with a more thorough clean but overall very affordable, convenient and great base for discovering amazing Lakes.

Michelle

Beautiful cottage, central location was ideal. I was worried about parking given there were 2 cars in the group but the owner provides multiple permits and the parking is only 3 5 mins walk away, and we did a quick unloading at the door that no one minded. Comfortable beds, cozy living room and a very well equipped kitchen. Only comment tumble dryer turned itself off after 10 seconds when we tried to dry some towels. Checked water and filters, no clear reason why. There is a drying rack so no problem, just more so owner is aware.

We would stay again. It's an older property, so I wouldn't expect perfection, but there's everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the price charged was reasonable. The bed was very comfortable and we managed to get some good sleep whilst there. The property is in an excellent location, and whilst there is no parking onsite, we always managed to get parked at the car park about a 5 minute walk away, which there is a free permit for too. The house is set over 3 levels. The kitchen is on the ground floor, as is a table and benches. The living room, second bedroom, and a WC is on the first floor. The master bedroom and shower room is on the second. As there are a lot of stairs for this property, I'd say it is not for the immobile or those who struggle with stairs. I'd have preferred a curtain at the shower room window, and a few more cups, but it was manageable.

The property is in a good location within the centre of Ambleside and is generally a well laid out property with appropriate facilities. Similar concerns to those raised in previous feedback responses, principally the middle bannister that has seemingly been adhoc repaired and is not safe for it purpose of supporting people using the stairs, especially if they fell. We are also disappointed that we raised issues during our stay bannister, rooflight blind not working properly, and tumble dryer not working to which we never received a response from the owner noting this information had been passed onto them via Lake Lovers. Overall, the accommodation was suitable for our stay, but we would not stay again until that bannister is properly fixed.

Second time Ive stayed here. The house is comfy and the location is perfect for what we wanted. Thank you

Claire

Really lovely place to stay, perfectly situated in the heart of the little town, will definitely book again.

Nice property, very central location so handy for all amenities. Very comfortable bed on the 2nd floor and well stocked kitchen if you want to prepare meals, we didnt as there are to many lovely places in Ambleside to enjoy a meal out . Weve just came back from a very good week in Ghyll Foot Cottage and we would definitely return.

Cottage was clean and tidy, situated in middle of town. Only a short walk to pubs, restaurants. Parked car when we arrived, never used it again till we left to come home. Went everywhere by bus, boat,or just walked. Weather was brilliant, which certainly made holiday. This was our first time at lakes, people were great.Always willing to offer advice, and local knowledge. We certainly would come back.

Angela

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The property is lovely and the kitchen, living room and upstairs bathroom are great. However other parts of the building are worn and badly in need of repair especially the first floor toilet there are nasty rust stains around the window and the plaster is coming away from the walls. Also on the stairs the bannisters are not stable and felt dangerous when using them to descent from second to first floor. In the kitchen the tumble dryer is not working and needs fixed. There is also a very nasty suspect stain on the bathroom chair. All these detract from the quality of the property and I believe challenge the 4 star rating.

We had the most perfect few days. The cottage is well located, right in the middle of the town. Easy walk out to some great hikes. The cottage is comfortable, extremely clean, and well equipped. The only thing we didnt have or couldnt see were the linen bags to put the bedding and towels in before we left. Thank you for having us. Im sure we will be back.

Second time here. Really lovely characterful cottage in an excellent position, in fact it cannot be better placed??. Last visit we were disappointed with cleanliness, however this visit it was great, lovely and clean. Gripes tumble dryer doesnt work and theres a big leak in the loo roof which needs urgent attention as it will cause long term damage. We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

Elliot

Absolutely fantastic cottage. Full of character. The log burner was roaring all week long. Great location. Felt at home.

Needed blind to bathroom window and velux blind was broken to the attic bedroom ... Needed blind to bathroom window and velux blind was broken to the attic bedroom also inner handle to the toilet kept falling off

Gillian

I felt the cleanliness of the flat was something that needs to be looked at. The bannister had stains on it, blood stains on the cushion in the upstairs bedroom I turned the cushion over to not see it , a hairy cushion in the upstairs bathroom, dead bugs in the lamps in the living room, log basket full of empty bags. I also had the bird bathroom indoor knob handle come off in my hand. I was disappointed that there wasnt a bar of soap offered . Ive never been to accommodation where this was not offered. The living room needs upgraded as its very dated. The bed upstairs was very comfy and the bathroom in the top floor kitchen is lovely. Location is great! I have booked through Lakelovers for years but this was not to the same standard as before sadly.

Loved our stay here again , back for New Year

Downstairs cupboard with the hoover in it needs a tidy out. Lots of junk in there. Otherwise, Cottage was clean and tidy. Cottage is in superb central location.

Rachael

We had a really wonderful few nights at Ghyll Foot. The cottage was really lovely and the beds were super comfortable. It was a great little location close to amenities and two lovely take aways which we thoroughly enjoyed also. We would definitely stay again in the future. The only things that I would suggest could be changed is maybe putting a blind in the top floor bathroom window so people arent getting an eye full when youre going in or out of the shower and making it clearer howwhere to recycle. We struggled to find a recycling bin and had to take stuff home but that might have been us overlooking something which was really obvious haha. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

Gabriella

Lovely cottage in a great place!

We had a great week at Ghyll Foot. The weather was fabulous and the house was in a perfect location. The house was really comfortable for the three of us. The stairs can be a little bit slippy at times. We would definitely return in the future. Thank you Ghyll Foot.

New shower is nice but the screen needs extending. Its impossible to have a shower without soaking the floor. Need to add frosting to bathroom window. Using the loo and being able to see people walk up to the waterfall isn't ideal! I think the trumble dryer needs attention. It works but makes a very loud noise. Need to ensure there are spare bin bags, we are asked to put the bin out on a Thursay but there were no spare bin bags which doesn't encourage people to empty the bin. Just a few small points. We really like the cottage and this was our 2nd stay

The cottage was ideal great location, cosy, well equipped. Only gripe was no soap or towel in middle floor toilet and the bedside tables in the upstairs bedroom where we stayed hadn't been dusted there was loads of dust on the mirror on my side. Otherwise, it as great!

Lovely stay and ideal central location for Ambleside we just felt it could have been cleaner and some of the small DIY jobs like the banister sorting but other then that it was ok Thanks.

The fact that we rebooked to stay less than a month after our first visit is surely endorsement enough! Fantastic find . Back again in the autumn !

Andrew

Stayed here before and it is a fantastic place stay, we love it.

The property has the potential to be a fantastic holiday let that we would have returned to again and again, the location and facilities are great. However extremely poor cleanliness and general property maintenance let this down completely. Unfortunately this is not the first time we have had issues with Lake Lovers and cleanliness of their properties so I was reluctant to book, however I have wanted to stay at this particularly property as the location has great sentiment and meaning to me. Several of the fixtures and fitting are broken or in poor state of repair, including a lamp which is covered in duct tape and actually fell and narrowly missed my mothers head. The property is in dire need of a deep clean, and given the list of cleaning we were sent from Lake Lovers to do before we vacated the property, I am led to believe that the absolute bare minimum is done between stays, which is a worry at the best of times, but particularly during Covid times. Dirty finger marks could be seen over numerous appliances and fittings, the carpets were covered in dirt and pet hair, the bin was filthy, the high hair provided was covered in food, a box of fire lighters was left open in the lounge prior to our arrival and the stench of petrolfumes meant the lounge was completely unusable on our first day, the tumble drier does not have a door catch so does not work and the washing machine drum was black with filth and mold. All in a all, what had the potential to be magnificent holiday, was ruined by lack of care and attention from Lake Lovers and their property services.

We had a wonderful stay at Ghyll Foot. The cottage is in a perfect location for those who like to be close to the facilities of Ambleside with shops, restaurants and bars within a stones throw away, yet set slightly back in a quiet street. There are many wonderful walking areas right on your doorstep suitable for all levels of fitness. The lounge area is very homely and we loved the log burner and local artwork. The kitchen is fully equipped with every utensils you will ever need. Both bedrooms are very cosy and the main bedroom has one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in this has obviously been recently added. The owners also provide a complimentary parking permit for 1 car which is a wonderful addition and saved us a fortune, not only at Ambleside but many other areas. Overall we would highly recommend this property to anyone, with the exception of maybe those who find stairs difficult as the house is over 3 floors. It really is perfect in every other way and the owners should be very proud. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Malcolm

Loved the cottage and the location is fantastic. Only very slight criticism would be the mattress's on the top bedroom could do with replacing.

The Cottage is cute and well equipped, and very central. But it does need a Deep Clean and the Master Bedroom desperately needs a new Bed and Mattress.
