We had a very happy holiday at Long Mynd. There was plenty of room for 6 people and the kitchen cupboards were well equipped. From the pictures supplied we thought the property was near the parking area shown but in fact it was further along as was the numbered parking for flat 7. We would be happy to return to this property.

Really enjoyed our stay at Long Mynd. A comfortable spacious apartment with everything you may need. Easy location to walk into Ambleside or for walks in local area. I have only given 3 stars because of noise from floorboards in flat above particularly in main bedroom. Also feel cleaners need to thoroughly air apartment to eliminate cooking smells in kitchen. All praise to Cottage holidays for quick call out when issue with freezer door not shutting correctly.

Great let! Booked for 3rd year running and will be back again. Pillows need replacing Always worth stocking up on essentials before you arrive - we took toilet roll, bin bags, washing up liquid and dish washer tablets, however, cheap to buy there and still a great place to stay! Best place we have stayed with the dog and we have been coming to Ambleside for 40 years.
