Excellent location. Views beautiful. Flat smaller than expected but a lot of thought has been put into making it work.

We had the opinion that the appartment was recently undergoing a renovation as plaster and wallpaper is missing in the kitchen and under the fireplace which is not shown on the internet photos. Reading through older comments guest already had this opinion last year so nothing has been done in the meantime.The bedroom is a bit outdated and only queen-size bed - being German and not being used to a single duvet didn't help with the small bed. The kitchen is new and very clean and very well equipped which was a great bonus. Also the bathroom is new but still needs smaller work done in different areas. The setting and the view is outstanding. It is quite a walk uphill back from town but manageable if you like hiking.It was our first time in the Lake District and we found Ambleside being the perfect town for nice restaurants, cute little shops and great pubs. All in all a very good holiday but due to the above mentioned reasons would stay somewhere else next time.
