Central location in Ambleside is fantastic, the apartment could be amazing, however, its looking tired and in need of remedial decoration work, especially where there have been leaks seeping in and has glaringly stained the plasterpaint work in places causing it to flake off onto the beds etc. There was an awful wet dog smell in the lounge which meant we spent little time in there as it was very overpowering, especially when it got sunny and the room heated up. Bedrooms are very bright, with little blackout facility, which meant getting to sleep was difficult. The bed in main room was very creaky, probably just needs oiltightening, but again, this shouldnt need raising as it basic maintenance that, along with everything else, should be routine. Lack of bedroom furniture meant unpacking was difficult as there were no drawers.

Some blackout blinds and aircon would be great during the summer months

The blinds let light in and side windows of the dormer bedroom window had no coverage so had to hang towels. Bathroom mouldy, no hand soap. Parking very expensive. No coffee pot, e.g. cafetiere so had to buy instant coffee.

This place is in the most excelllent location and suited all of our needs perfectly. Would stay again

Surprisingly spacious for a flat with bigger rooms than most cottages we have stayed in. Its in a perfect central location overlooking the high street, with shops and walks from the doorstep. Warm, clean and cosy with good facilities. Good for couples or families with older children as there are steps up to the property and some inside the property. Great that dogs are also welcome with the park being a 5 minute walk away. Wed recommend blinds in the main bedroom or blackout in both and a paint refresh on 1 wall in the main bedroom as everything has been recently decorated.

We enjoyed our stay here. Very central. We would, however, have liked some information in the property in particular to the recycling of glassplastic. The only bin was in the kitchen for general waste. No outside bin. We left bottles bagged up as we couldn't find anywhere in Ambleside where we could take these.

Excellent place to stay, incredibly roomy! We were easily able to host 12 people in the living room, with space to spare. No tea etc. provided but the Coop being so close meant we could run down for the things we needed. Also not the easiest to find, would be great if it was more clearly marked. Would definitely stay here again!

Location and property is perfectly situated for a family of 4. Be careful with the shower as it dose go hot and cold alot , really suprised how quite the main street is at night as you can't hear the traffic. Really homely feeling about the property like a home away from home . Thankyou to the home owners. Would definitely love to come back again.

Apartment is comfortable however was a bit put off my what appears to be water damage in the kitchen, lounge and front bedroom. We had a power cut whilst there so noticed that the combi boiler needs a water top up as the water pressure is almost zero. Also had to bleed the radiators as they were not getting warm at the top

We enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to come again. The property is very well placed in Ambleside at the top of the high street. It's the second floor in a building that houses the Coop on the ground. It has a unique layout which gives it character. The property is slightly splitlevel having a small flight of stairs from the entrancekitchenbathroom level, up to the dining arealiving roombedroom level. The living room and bedrooms are extremely spacious. The living room has a large bay window which I enjoyed sitting in to watch the street life below. The kitchen feels modern, and the velux windows give it plenty of light. It has a small bar area for two to sit at. The kitchen facilities and utensils are plentiful. The bathroom also feels modern, there's a wash basin and bath and shower. Plenty of bath towels were provided. A small cloakroom area allows for coats and shoes. The tv has good reception and the wifi extends throughout the property. The property is very clean. We didn't hear any noise from the shop or it's morning deliveries there was some noise from road traffic but nothing untoward. Parking is plentiful, the permit covers the whole of the Millans Park street which is immediately to the rear and is a long street. The decor is good but a fresh coat of paint wouldn't go amiss in some places. The blinds in the spare room aren't affective at keeping out the morning sun. It wasn't immediately obvious which gated entrance led to the property as there was no signage except for 1 Redbanks next door. The shower feels average, although probably depends on what you have at home Overall we were pleased and happy we got value for money.

Unfortunately we were unable to use the living room as it smelled of wee like cat wee so was extremely unpleasant. This made relaxing together as a family in the evening more difficult and the wifi didn't reach the kitchen. The property would also benefit from being signposted outside, as I had to walk down a few drives of different names to discover where the property was. In the positive, they have made a good use of space and the location is great.

Stylish, comfortable, warm, central, quiet apartment in ambleside. Great art work, furnishings, facilities and decor, comfy bed. Easy access to shops, cafes and restaurants. Access to real walks direct from the door. Ability to watch the world go by from comfy window seat.

Spoke to Sykes I got one reply all weekend. We went for a weekend away and the oven did not work. Despite Sykes saying the manual was there to use. The manual was not even for the oven installed. Secondly, we bought food with us so we did not have to pay for meals out. We were unable to cook any of the food and when we emailed Sykes we were ignored.

Lovely property in a lovely town . Centrally situated to all you can need, we had to park on a car park only a minute away as a previous guest had taken the permit in error parking was refunded to be honest it was a lot easier as I dont think we would find a space anyway . Highly recommend

Fantastic apartment We had a great stay a very welcoming apartment. It was well equipped and very cosy. Although it rained at times and couldn't go out, the apartment had good WiFi and dvds which was a nice touch. Although other reviews said the double bed wasn't comfortable, I found it very comfortable! I would defunitely recommend!

High Ridge was a lovely place to stay in Ambleside. The property was light and airy, clean, and the living room window was a great place for people watching! My only suggestion to improve it would be to have WiFi available, but this is only a small thing.

Great location in the centre of Ambleside. Property was well equipped and very clean. Perfect for exploring the lakes!

They need new cleaners,,, bed absolutely horrendous no sleep . ..pots and pans need renewing could not cook with them

Fantastic location and lovely flat! Everything we needed for our stay.

The situation is amazingly central in Ambleside, but the apartment is not generally noisy, though the Coop below does trundle delivery trolleys up and down. Excellent facilities, though we found the fridge a bit small and the icebox got iced up very quickly and 2 coffee making filters rather than one would have been useful. Otherwise, excellent kitchen and cooking facilities and everywhere very clean. We would certainly use this again. Previous comments have included references to thin towels they were fine and not thin and to the single beds being flimsy, but they were fine too. Having a car parking permit was very useful. Thanks for a good stay. The owner was helpful when we rang for advice.

I think the problem with High Ridge is that at 5. 30 every morning the coop.has it's delivery of whatever, the noise is terrible and anybody staying in the double room at the back is woken up, as we were everyday. Apart from that brilliant, great facilities and a good position for everything, had a lovely holiday

Great modern apartment in an idea location. Only thing was the bed as my husband is 6ft 2 a double not quite big enough. It would accommodate a king size bed as the room is spacious and the living room has some paint flaking from the wall, just needs a lick of paint. Apart from that a lovely spacious apartment.

A nice modern apartment in the heart of Ambleside. Highly recommended.

A wellappointed and wellequipped flat. Good for local transport to access the fells. However there are some issues with the property that appear , from comments already posted , not to have been addressed outside lights not working, problem with door on kitchen cupboard, light bulbs in the bathroom that have not been replaced. We expected some noise due to the location in central Ambleside however were kept awake several nights until around 2.30 am by people in the street shouting and singing. Also intruder alarms from local businesses were activated several times during the nightearly morning. The property is advertised with one twinbedroom. There is a double bedroom also but no bedding is supplied for this.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our week at High Ridge, a very neat and wellappointed holiday flat, and hope to return there some time in the future. However, there are a few things which I should perhaps bring to your attention. Would you please forward this message to owner of High Ridge, Ambleside ref. 933760 In both of the single beds, several of the wooden slats across the bottom of the frame on which the mattress rests are completely missing. This naturally makes the beds rather less secure and comfortable than they should be. The remote control for the DVD player is missing. It is still possible to play DVDs, but without a remote it is not possible to access the extra features on them, such as episode selection, scene selection, subtitles, etc. A couple of other things are less important A light bulb in the bathroom needs replacing. As you already know, a hinge on one of the kitchen cupboards still needs to be replaced. And I should like to make a couple of suggestions, which could help to make High Ridge even better A nonslip rubber mat for the bath when the shower is being used. At the moment, the bath gets very slippery with soapy water from the shower. A shaver point by the mirror in the bathroom. But, as I have said, we enjoyed our stay, and hope to return. Regards. Roger Harris.

Fantastic spacious flat in the very heart of Ambleside. Parking was easy even though it was busy. Shops, restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance. The flat itself was brill. Fantastic kitchen. Huge lounge. Roomy bedrooms. Just perfect for our first visit to the lakes. 15 min walk to Windermere. In fact all the major lakes were within easy distance by car. All in all a fantastic week.

Location excellent and car parking permit essential and appreciated. Could have been a lot cleaner. Decoration was tired looking. Mattresses and cushions were worn out. One set of towels pp not adequate. Although Wifi was not listed I felt it should have been clear it was not available under the section no pets, no smoking etc.

High Ridge is a very good property in the centre of Ambleside. It is very well equipped and is in an ideal location. There are steps to get into the property and , as the flat is on two levels, a few steps inside which would make it difficult for anyone who has mobility issues .

Fabulous apartment, wonderful location, very enjoyable week spent walking the Fells of the Lake District. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the apartment for my wife's birthday really spacious warm and ... Really enjoyed the apartment for my wife's birthday really spacious warm and clean shops pubs cafes all on door step visited salutation hotel xmas party night wow Windermere xmas market made great start to xmas

There is no info about where to put the rubbish, what bin and what day to put it out. the light at the door needs fixing it only comes on when your at the bottom of the steps. forget the washing machine and fit a dish washer.

The photos of the appartement don't do it much justice in reality, it is bigger! It was also so spotlessly clean, I imagined we were the first people in it. And the location, oh... Ambleside is gorgeous, and the appartement spot in the middle of that gorgeousness.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the location in the heart of Ambleside was excellent, there were in fact two bedrooms not one as stated in description. Local ameneties could not have been closer with an abundance of pubs and restaurants within walking distance.
