Guests say
Grasmere is a well-regarded holiday rental in Ambleside, praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and quality linen, as well as the property's suitability for families and pets. The scenic surroundings and proximity to local attractions add to its charm. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Cleanliness
The property consistently receives compliments for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the tidy and well-maintained condition. However, a few guests mentioned minor issues such as bird droppings at the entrance, which slightly impacts the score.
Location
The location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for exploring the Lakes. Its proximity to a local pub and scenic walks contributes to a high rating, although its remoteness from shops and amenities is noted.
Comfort
Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with special mentions of the quality beds and bedding. Some reviews, however, point out that certain areas can feel cramped, and the fridge size is inadequate for larger groups, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
Facilities
While the property is equipped with essentials and praised for features like fast Wi-Fi and electric heating, several reviews cite issues with bathroom seals, lack of firewood, and absence of a dishwasher. These maintenance concerns affect the facilities score.
