We were delighted to find it clean, comfortable and well located with just steps to the local Tesco, shops and restaurants. The king-sized bed was very comfortable. The sheets and towels were luxurious. The kitchen is well equipped, so was the bathroom, and there was good storage. We especially enjoyed the incredible views over the church, town and to the mountains from the oversized windows. Communication with the owner was easy. We had three great days of hiking and biking (rented from Ghyllside Cycles) in the lovely town of Ambleside. We would gladly stay there again. ##### Brigitte P.
