Quiet location. Very comfortable.
Situated in a very quiet area but access is via some extremely narrow lanes, so not for the feint hearted, especially in the dark.
Well equipped and very comfortable, though there was a few minor items missing from the kitchen, including a teapot, potato masher and a pizza cutter. The large fridge freezer in the utility room was very useful and a surprise as not mentioned in the listing.
Nice modern bathrooms.
Lovely views from the windows and the enclosed garden out the back.
Only gripes were the initial smell in the ensuite, coming back up from the sceptic tank which seemed to dissapate once there was a regular water flow down the drains. Either that or we got used to it.
Also a few signs of damp which did affect one of our party. I suppose it's typical of a house of this age and build but still not very pleasant.
Overall a good base to explore from away from the crowds of Ambleside.
Would also recommend the Tavern bar at the Skelwith Bridge Hotel for great pub grub and local beer.
