The house was fab. The views from the rooms were amazing. The bathrooms were amazing. Loved the bath and the walk in shower. Would definitely stay again.
We had an amazing stay in Ambleside. The house was well equipped and clean. It was in easy walking distance to local shops but far enough away to be out the way of any crowds. The balcony gave fabulous views of the setting sun over Ambleside. A Wonderful stay
Lingmell is a fab property. Fab base for a stay in Ambleside. View is amazing. We holiday here most years and will continue to do so for many year's to come.
Excellent location with parking and walking distance to Ambleside.l Good comfortable beds and bathrooms. Lovely views from the balcony.
Had a really good week despite the weather not being brilliant.
This house is high on a hill so view from the balcony is second to non. A great viewing platform for the F35 jets too! Its high up position does mean steep walks up and down. The house is big and easily accommodated the 5 of us and we found everything we needed for a great week. The pool is 3 mins walk away and was a nice addition.
We have just had a great holiday in the lakes. The house was in a brilliant location just a couple of minutes into the centre but far enough away to be peaceful.There was everything we needed in the house and it was clean throughout. The pool next door is a huge plus and the view is absolutely stunning.If I had to make any criticism it would be that the blinds need some attention but it didn't impede our stay at all.Thank you for hosting us
Amazing location and a lovely place with everything you could need for a super holiday in the lakes. Right in the centre but above it all so away from the hustle and bustle and very peaceful. Amazing views over Ambleside and the fells. Added bonus of the pool and spa. Very helpful friendly host. Would definitely return here.
Excellent property yards from the centre of ambleside but tucked away enough to be in a quiet location. The house itself was spacious enough for us 5 and a dog. It felt like home from home which is always a big plus. Will recommend with 5* approval from us.
Wonderful clean spacious property, perfectly located, just 5 minutes from the town centre.
Fantastic views from the double length balcony that leads from both the lounge and master bedroom, overlooking Ambleside.
Garth, the owner, has put a lot of effort into making this a well provided for property. We will definitely be booking again
House was exactly as described. I rented the house for the patio and garden hoping for good weather . Unfortunately we got really bad weather but the views were still beautiful.
The house was very comfortable and very relaxing . Garth was very helpful and I would definitely rent again .
Ideal holiday house, location close to shops, eateries, swimming pool whilst still having easy access to the fells. The drive is extremely steep and although it advertises garage for two cars, it wouldn’t fit two large cars. Nice having the extra space up on the road. For a family of 6 we did rearrange the table in front of the window and push the settees to the walls. We preferred to play games at the table rather than watch tv on holiday but at least guests have the choice. The kitchen was well appointed and we made good use of the washing machine and tumble dryer after getting rather wet at times on the fells. The showers were great, powerful and warm. Our elderly dog had to visit vets and we can wholeheartedly recommend Oakhill vets in Ambleside. Thanks for letting us stay.
This is a beautiful property in a prime location overlooking Ambleside. The house has everything you could need and more. Warm, comfortable with amazing views from the large balcony overlooking Ambleside and beyond to the breathtaking views of the hills and countryside. Just a few minutes (steep) walk from Ambleside town centre and everything this bustling lakeland town has to offer, pubs, restaurants and shopping a plenty. Excellent comms from Garth made the booking in process very easy from start to finish and the use of the swimming pool and jacuzzi at the nearby Lakeland Centre was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to re-visiting it again soon. Thanks Garth👍
Just had a second great stay at this property which has all the facilities you need for a pleasant stay. The property has a balcony off the lounge and main bedroom which offers great views over Ambleside and across to the hills on the other side of the valley. The location offers quick access to the town centre via 74 steps down a nearby path or for those preferring a slope either down the road or along past the leisure centre and down a few steps and down a slope. Being on a slope the drive is quite steep and may not be suitable for some sports cars but there is a parking space at the top of the drive to cater for such occasions.
The owner, Garth, contacted us half way through the week just to check everything was okay which was a pleasant touch.
The owner allows a dog to stay which many do not which can be restrictive in accommodation choice so we are so pleased that we found this place.
This is our second stay at the property and we have already discussed about returning again in the future. We definitely recommend a stay at this property.
Great location with amazing views over Ambleside and the hills. The balcony is a bonus in good weather. The walk into Ambleside is steep but short so you have easy access to all the town has to offer and walks into the fells without needing to drive. Use of the (small) pool and jacuzzi at Lakelands was a bonus and quiet the week we were there.
House is well presented and furnished with plenty of storage, crockery/cutlery etc. The beginning of our week was very cold and even with the heating on we noticed the upstairs stayed warm but downstairs was noticeably colder. The bathrooms were lovely, especially the large monsoon shower in the en suite. Comfortable beds.
The leather sofas however were definitely end of life with absolutely no support left on the seats so were uncomfortable which was a shame.
The driveway is steep so we decided to keep the car on the parking space at the top of the drive next to the garage wall which worked well.
Amazing location, a few minutes walk from the shops and restaurants in Ambleside. 15 min walk to Lake Windermere and Ambleside pier. Lots of beautiful walks from the doorstep. We didn’t use the car for days! Clean and comfortable accommodation with great views. Would definitely recommend
This is our third trip to Lingmell and such a pleasure it is to stay in this perfectly located home. The stunning views comfortable feel and delightful features such as clean comfortable beds and delightful bathrooms.
We will certainly be back again to Lingmell and are planning the trip as I write this.
We have recenlt come back from a wonderful stay at Lingmell. The property is in a super location overloooking Ambleside. Fab balcony for when the weather is dry but the patio doors also allow the views to be appreciated in all weathers. We have stayed here on numerous occasions and hope to continue to do so for years to come. The host is always contactable and always checks that everything is ok with our stay.
