Summer 2024
Posted Aug. 10, 2024 on HomeAwayA thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The view from the house was lovely and a very comfortable place to stay. We loved the pool and swam most days.

Home from Home With Great Views
Posted Jul. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayJust 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.

Stay in Lingmel, Ambleside
Posted Jun. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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

Great location and wonderful views
Posted May 5, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat 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.

Hi there Annette
Thanks for the positive review .
Just to clarify one or two points .Firstly there are 3 wallking routes into Ambleside from Lingmell all less than 75 metres .We usually take the route at the end of lower gale which is the gentlest .All three can be tackled easily by visitors with average fitness and mobility level who are expecting the odd hill or two as they are in the Lake District .
The pool is 10 metres in length .,and a reasonable size for a relaxing swim .
Guests often turn the downstairs radiators off as they prefer a cooler bedroom , however the system can be balanced by the next guests if they turn the radiators down upstairs Also guests can set the easy use Hive control to
Increase or decrease the heating and hot water as they wish .
Sorry to hear about the sofas ,we have found it difficult to replace them as many guests have pets and we wanted a suitable replacement We ordered a luxury Barker and Stonehouse 3 piece suite in jan which arrived when we were there the week after you left.
Best wishes
Garth

Fantastic holiday home
Posted Mar. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayAmazing 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 Break in Wonderful Ambleside
Posted Mar. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayThis 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👍

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

Great week in the lakes
Posted Aug. 14, 2023 on HomeAwayExcellent 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.
