Guests say
Guests have had a delightful stay at Badgers Rake 12 Squirrels Nest, praising its excellent location with stunning views, cleanliness, and well-equipped nature. The property offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, though access to the garden may be challenging for some. The thoughtful touches by the owners enhance the experience, ensuring a memorable visit to Ambleside.
The property is consistently described as clean. One mention of an uncleaned window suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness is highly regarded.
The location is praised for its fabulous views and proximity to town, despite the steep climb to the property. This climb might be a minor inconvenience for some guests.
The property is considered comfortable and cosy, with guests feeling at home. The living room view adds to the comfort, making it a favourite for many.
Facilities are well-received with everything guests could need, including sharp knives and ample instructions. However, the mention of inaccessible garden access for pets indicates a need for some maintenance.
While guests appreciate the practical needs addressed by the owners, there is no mention of gifts, and therefore it cannot be confirmed if thoughtful gestures such as gifts are consistently provided.

lovely big clean apartment with amazing views from the full size windows and balcony. Very comfortable with all the facilities you could need. lovely modern kitchen and bathroom. We were there for New Year and it was particularly cold so it did take a while for the electric radiators to heat the space. it would be lovely in the Summer when you could sit on the balcony and enjoy the views. Just to be aware it is quite a steep climb up a hill from the main road to get to the apartment and it is then up 3 flights of stairs if you have any mobility issues. we were not given the code for the outside door before we arrived, only the code for the apartment lock box, so if we had not arrived at the same time as other guests we would not have been able to get in.

Excellent apartment in a quite location but still close town. The view from the living room is fabulous and makes the stairs worth the effort! It was clean and had everything we needed.
