Guests say
The Old Carriage House in Clappersgate offers a quaint and quirky stay with modern twists. Its proximity to Ambleside and a private garden across the road are highlights. While some guests found the property spotless, others noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The road noise was a common concern, but many were pleased with the property's charm and location.
Cleanliness
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage spotless, while others reported it not being particularly clean, with cobwebs and dust in places. Some kitchen items required washing before use.
Location
The location is generally praised for its proximity to Ambleside and the private garden, despite being next to a busy road which some found noisy. The convenience for exploring Cumbria is a plus.
Comfort
Comfort received mixed feedback. Guests appreciated the cosy atmosphere but frequently mentioned an uncomfortable and noisy double bed. The road noise also impacted comfort for some.
Facilities
Facilities are adequate with modern fixtures, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as a dripping tap, ineffective dishwasher, and unreliable TV. The lack of clear instructions for appliances was also noted.

About this property
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.
