Waterside Reviews

We have stayed at a number of places and we felt very let down here. It has beautiful veiw, but its not welcoming inside. There was no small extras, the shower doors are so small we had trouble getting in and out. Hot water in bathroom sink had black bits in it. Very noisy from peple coming and going and work being carried out upstairs. We left a day earlier as had another.
This is a very clean and comfortable apartment but very basic and lacking in certain items ie bin linerscleaning items for kitchen which in previous visits have been supplied. Fire in lounge did not work nor did fan in bathroom. Lovely views across the lake and great having parking space. Would definitely recommend if you dont mind bringing all your own supplies.
Alison
Excellent location with stunning views. The property was clean and comfortable. The fire was not working during our stay, but it wasnt too cold. The parking space could benefit from clearer signage, and the keys would be easier to use with labels, as there are three doors with different keys.
Vernon
This property was extremely cold. On arrival the storage heater in the living area was not working. This was fixed the next day after a phone call. Even so, the lounge area was not comfortable in the evening to sit in. The bedroom was even colder. The parking space information given to us did not match the markings on the ground. Fortunately this was not a problem as we were the only guests.
Perfect location. Great apartment overlooking lake windermere. Very comfortable. Third visit to this apartment. Will be returning. Fabulous walks in surrounding area. Ambleside very close by. Good bus services. Didn't need to use the car.
We have used this property a lot of times and it never fails to impress, great location for boats buses and with a taxi, trains. We are pleased the large bedroom window has been repaired as it makes loading and unloading the car very easy. We tend to check the forecast and follow the better weather from Penrith to Morecombe and use the steamers to access the whole of Windermere. We also have lots of places that we have been before and reviisit these. The two hotels within a stroll from the property are also very welcoming for an evening drink. The property itself is comfortable, clean and well equipped.

Another lovely stay at this beautiful place. Ideal place to stay for the whole family. We returned a year later as my son loves the place so much. As we all do. We will be returning without a doubt next year. Thankyou for another lovely stay
Loved the place. Location so convenient. Have already recommended to a friend and will definitely look to book again. Parking space needs a new coat of paint on the number and a bigger shower would have been nice but they in no way take away from the great stay we had. Thanks
The view from the window is stunning. Loved how quiet it was but only a 15 minute walk into the main town . The flat had everything you needed . Very clean and comfortable. Definitely will be back
Angela
When we arrived it was not clear where we should park. The bay markings need repainting. We felt the front entrance looked very tired. Paint peeling and not very clean. Such a shame that this was the first impression. Once we were inside everything was perfect and what a view. First impressions are so important. It would make such a difference if this was addressed.
Felicity
We were very comfortable here with the most amazing view. The kitchen was equipped with everthing you could need and the apartment nice and warm . There are bus stops very close by and of course boats to windemere. Would happily stay again.
Have been coming to property for some years now and always enjoy the stay. Facilities and furnishing good standard and lovely and warm as the weather was cold outside
Loved the property just could do with the parking space painting again and definitely a new bigger shower very small
One of our favourite spots to stay. Comfortable, great access to public transport, super views.
Lovely property with spectacular views,nicely furnished and equipped Will definitely recommend
We had a great time,lovley apt nice& clean all mod cons,lovely view of the lake .
Lesley
What an amazing holiday we have had. The location is amazing the views are breathtaking. Everything you need. It's was literally home from home. Our son jake absolutely loved the place. We definitely will be booking again for next year. We feel so lucky to have found this place. Loved how secure you felt with all the locked doors . Thankyou very much . What a beautiful place
Deborah
The property was in a great location, it was clean, modern with great facilities and amazing views. We were a bit concerned about the shower after reading previous reviews but it was fine for us. Fish and chip shop practically next door which was a bonus.
Michelle
Lost count of the number of times we have stayed here because we love it, booked again for next year. New chairs were a nice touch. Perfect location with spectacular views.
It is a lovely property, excellent views of the lake and a very central location. It's our second visit and we will stay again.
Malcolm
I was disappointed that 6 steps to enter and 4 locks before getting in! There there should be warning on the hot water it's far too hot and shower is nightmare it's hot or freezing cold. The tv is basic freeview, wifi good
Corinne
We had a great week in the property and can't wait to come back. We had a problem in the bathroom and this was promptly sorted out. However, the shower was a let down. Being a larger lady it was a squeeze to get through the doors, the shower tray is very slippery when wet and the shower itself a trickle is almost an over statement.! However when the sun was out you couldn't wish to being where else!
Superb location. 2nd visit to this property. Would highly recommend. Very comfortable and pleasant stay. We will be back for sure. Thank you.
Rachael
Beautifully clean & well equipped apartment with stunning views & a great location. We really enjoyed our stay. My only comments are that a surface cleaner spray for the kitchen & hob would be useful. Also we struggled to get enough hot water for three showers, perhaps an electric shower would be easier?
Richard
Beautifully well maintained property with fabulous views over the lake ... Beautifully well maintained property with fabulous views over the lake Windermere, just a short walk away from Ambleside town would 100 recommend and will definitely be back again in the near future
Stayed there many times lovely apartment always enjoy our stay
Yet another lovely visit to Lakelands. This is a lovely property with amazing views across the lake. The flat was as comfortable as always and the addition of the two new chairs made a massive difference. Thank you. Look forward to returning later in the year.
Lovely flat in a wonderful location with views across the lake and a 510 minute walk from the centre of Ambleside. Extremely comfortable with good facilities. Needs a little TLC in some areas and the sofa and couch could definitely do with upgrading but other than that it was perfect. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.
2nd visit in year. lovely view from window. would recommend.
Christopher
Its all about location, thats why we stay here. Excluding the dining table and chairs, everything else was comfortable enough, the water was hot and the heating worked well. A great base.
Michelle
The floor and rug in the lounge could have been cleaner, our socks were a little grubby and fluffy from walking around in the apartment from arrival. Floorboards were also quite creaky which was disturbing in the night for others when going to the loo, but otherwise a great apartment in a fab location and amazing views.
A lovely apartment, with good facilities. Comfortable beds etc. If we could make some constructive comments, the general maintenance to outside patio area was poor. Railings need painting, and a power wash of the outside area was overdue. The carpet in the living area and chairs need some attention. But overall we had a pleasant experience.
We loved our stay and will book here again. Being able to open the front windows would improve ventilation as it was a bit hot at times. But overall one of the best and nicest places we have stayed.
Thought this was an accessible apartment but had steps to the front door & quite a small shower for someone with mobility needs to move around in safely. However, this could have been an error in searching & overlooked by us. Lovely apartment, suited us well & the view from the front room windowwell indescribable! Very comfortable, had everything that we neededthought the sofa was ok, could do with a broomdustpan & brush but other than that brilliant!
Thomas
Very comfortable accommodation and perfect situation overlooking lake. Roof light in main bedroom not working. Teapot had no lid. No bedside lamp in spare bedroom. Shower not easy to work and retain heat. Otherwise we were happy with our stay and will return.
Absolutely lovely property, very nicely furnished, comfortable bed, good quality towels and bedding. The most amazing views from the front windows, lovely place to sit with a coffee and look at the lake. We did forget an item of our belongings, which they sent to us.
Recommend this beautiful apartment which is in a perfect location and base for the lakes. The view from the apartment is so picturesque. Will definitely return. The property would benefit from a more comfortable sofa in the lounge area, maybe a corner shape sofa, especially after all the walking and exploring in the lakes, comfort is a necessity. Apart from that, fabulous!!
Unable to connect to WiFi Shower control was stiff to operate and couldn't ... Unable to connect to WiFi Shower control was stiff to operate and couldn't control water pressure Apart from these couple of issues the apartment was fantastic
Stunning location couldnt fault anything about it from start to finish. Will return. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Exactly what we wanted.
