The suite was lovely very comfortable and well equipped. The location is stunning we greatly enjoyed the views, the peace and quite, and easy access to Ambleside. This is also a great, central location for enjoying the Lakes District. It would be nice to have use of the lift to save lugging bags up the two storeys.

We had a great stay at the Loughrigg Suite. The suite was well equipped and comfortable. The views from the property were fantastic.

We had a wonderful few days staying here. The apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious for two adults and a child. We spent a lot of time staring out at the amazing views! Lovely location to walk into Ambleside. Just wish we could have stayed a bit longer..!

Super apartment, well decorated and provisioned, great views, in a great location.

Lovely looking apartment in a beautiful building. Kitchen cupboard doors are grubby. Under Kitchen sink cupboard is messy and dirty. Pillows have seen better days, filling is flat. Main bedroom lots of cobwebs and a dirty tissue behind the bedside tables and mattress. Under the dressing table dirt in corners and hair. Upon stripping the bed as requested we We're horrified to see how badly the pillow protectors are brown stained with sweat, and the duvet. Stains on the mattress protector too. Other than this the property is a good size and cosy.

Overall the apartment was delightful, and just what we wanted for an autumn stay in this area. Very comfortable with very good facilities and good access to the town, while being in a pleasant estate. Some little things a few of the lightbulbs need replacing. A very annoying thing rental residents are not allowed access to the lift!

A beautiful loft apartment! Perfect situation for exploring the lakes and for popping in to Ambleside for dinner. Excellent!

It's a nice property but it was disappointing to have the scaffolding in front of the windows. During some windy nights the metal doors in the scaffolding would bang. We didn't think 10 off was sufficient for this. The communications I had with Lakelovers about this was very slow and poor. Also, I raised about the sky satellite tv not working. Someone came round and said it was probably the dish but then we never heard from Lakelovers about it again so had no satellite tv channels all week.

Very nice property would recommend to others and would stay there again. Great location only a short walk from the centre of Ambleside, plus in easy reach of several great walks, right on your doorstep. Access was easy, and all info needed was in the folder inside the flat. Stunning views too.

Nice clean apartment on the top floor of this property. Lots of steps and no access to the lift as you need a code for it!!! Would have been useful to take the luggage up and down on arrival and departure. Grounds to the house are stunning with amazing views and an easy downhill walk into Ambleside.

The Positives The apartment itself was really lovely, warm, well fitted out to a very high standard. We were extremely comfortable there. So all was excellent there. The Negatives Accessibility is a big issue which I feel your description fails to address clearly. Your description correctly states its a second floor apartment. But unless I missed something in the description that statement doesnt truly reflect the task needed to transport suitcases , shopping, drinks for the festive season etc up several flights of stairs about 50 steps in total. There may be an accessibility statement for this property, but if so I missed it. We are relatively fit and in our 70s but still found it quite a struggle. There is of course a lift, which is not mentioned in your description. But apparently the lift is for permanent residents of the building only and accessed by a key code which we were not provided with. Some redress for this situation was requested and would have been appreciated.

Not very impressed with having to carry a weeks worth of supplies up 4 sets of stairs as lift not working. Sky TV not working smoke alarm going of nearly every time my wife cooked.Fire alarm went of very early one morning 0515 and several other times during stay for no reason.

A little gem we were lucky to find, and will hopefully be back to. The suite was the perfect size for two adults and one 9 year old. The facilities and fittings are all good quality and we had no issues during our stay. The private grounds and drive up the zig zag road to the house all add to a feeling of being somewhere special. There are lots of walks from the house that mean you actually don't need to drive. Loughrigg Fell, Rydal Caves and Buckstone jump a waterfallpool you can swim in are all a small walk away. If it's free, then book it. But not the week we want to come next year!

Beautiful stay with my two children in your wonderful apartment. It was furnished to a high and comfortable standard with everything we needed. Have already recommended to friends and family.

This was our third stay in this lovely old building, each time in a different apartment. We love the location, with a 10 minute walk into Ambleside across the park. It is also brilliant having parking, so avoiding the need to park in Ambleside which can be a nightmare. The steep lane from and to the building will not be for everyone, but it is possible to drive down to the main gates and leave your car there for the ascent back up the long drive. There are lovely walks to Grassmere, Skelwith Bridge and on to Elterwater, Rydal and Loughrigg Fell from the lane outside the house and many more from other parts of Ambleside. The apartment was generally well equipped and very clean. A decent TV and streaming services, plus a little Bose bluetooth speaker were much apprciated. It was nice to be able to control the hot water and heating only used to warm up the towel rail as we had beautiful weather. A few tips for the owner 1 the seal under the glass shower screen over the bath is perished and water leaks onto the floor 2 we were surprised to find a plain sheet on the double bed rather than a fitted sheet, though the bed was very comfortable 3 we stayed in two other places on this holiday and both provided welcome packs with a few basics nice if you arrive late 4 a second bath mat would be helpful as there are two showers. But these are just minor niggles. It was a lovely apartment and the views were spectacular. We did not want to leave.

We loved the apartment as it had character but was practical & comfortable. The views were amazing !

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this suite. Absolutely great views of the surrounding hills from our room and from the huge garden even seeing Lake Windermere through the trees. One morning there were a few sheep on our lawns! Entry instructions on our arrival were very clear a spare front door key to the suite would have been useful 'just in case'. A clean, well maintained property. The split level to the kitchen gave the suite added character. Well furnished with comfortable seating in the main room. The suite is on the top second floor of the large house only drawback was carrying our cases up all the stairs quite a task there is a small lift but it was key coded and we never knew the code nor did others in the building. A really steep drivewalk up to the property either via main driveway or a paved bridleway, although our car could be left at the gated drive entrance if the walking up was 'too much'. Central Ambleside is a 10 minute walk across a park and it is only a 30 minute walk to Waterhead Ambleside pier on Lake Windermere. Ambleside is a really good 'central' location in the Lake District quaint with lots of places to eat and drink. A highly recommended stay.

A beautiful apartment, this was not our first stay and wont be our last.

The apartment is gorgeous, as are the views and location. We had a wonderful time and felt very comfortable there. The rooms were clean and had most items we needed. However, it would have been beneficial to have a hairdryer in one of the rooms and maybe some tennis rackets and tennis balls for use. Also, we could not get the lift to work which meant carrying up our luggage was difficult, but this did not affect our enjoyment.

We have several complaints to make about Loughrigg Suite, which may help future visitors. In chronological order in the email that you send with arrival instructions, the ordering of information is extremely poor for this particular property. The key code for the flat and the assistance phone numbers are right at the top where guests will be looking. The details for the entry gates and the front door lock are way down BELOW the travel details where few will be looking as they arrive. The entry details should all be together. As you must be well aware the Velux window high in the living room ceiling leaks and has been for some time. I know that you warned us that work is going on though nothing happened this week and it is clearly difficult to find out where the leak is because the ceiling all around around the window is blistered and stained. This meant we lost use of a quarter of the living room we had to keep our belongings away from that area, leave a towel on the table and a bucket on the floor to avoid damage to the carpet and furniture. There are problems with the washing machine, again we assume longstanding as the door matching the other cupboards has been removed. The machine makes noises as if it is running a cycle but the drum did not rotate. In addition, the model installed is not the model for which instructions are provided so we had to waste time looking it up online to try to resolve the problem. We were left with an unwash load, the garments at the top were still dry but the bottom half were soaking wet and again we had to waste time moving them around the drying horse and oil radiator to get them dry not easy with unspun washing. The items on the upper shelves in the kitchen were out of my reach and there are no steps, so I had to climb on a stool not ideal. AND the lift which would have been very useful to bring our luggage up to the 2nd floor is out or order it clearly should be available as there is an apology stuck on the door. I think some recompense is required for these detriments to our stay here

We loved this apartment. Great views, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped kitchen. It was immaculately clean when we arrived. The single bedroom is tiny and probably best suited to a child we felt, and this might be made clearer in the descriptions. For a couple like us, however, it was the ideal storage room for the week. We loved being out of the fray of Ambleside but with everything a short walk away.

Had a fantastic 7 day stay. Will rebook with HOTL for later on in the year. Highly recommend. Thank you.

A fabulous apartment in a well positioned house close to Ambleside centre and with spectacular views. Very well furnished with very comfy bedpillows and relaxing sofastool. Well equipped kitchendining and with nicely chosen cups and glasses. Excellent bathroom with hot and powerful shower. Good parking area for our car. We would really like to return to this apartment in the coming years. Only issues we had and we overcome them 1. Leaking roof judging from the scaffolding this is work in progress, but water dripping onto table. 2. Greasy pan left in oven which we cleaned. 3. Plug leaked water in bath and we couldnt get the bath tap to run hotwarm water to fill bath.

Loughrigg Suite is a lovely apartment in a fabulous location with great views. Well appointed kitchen, comfortable lounge and very comfortable bed. We had a very enjoyable stay. We do however have some small points to note which reduced the overall rating 1. No light in the hallway. We had to use a flashlight feature on our mobile phone to see the keypad on the door. The owners should install a PIR light. We had the same problem when we reached our apartment door. 2. Light in the hall between lounge and the bedroom wasn't working and doorknob to the lounge kept coming off the door. 3. We were very disappointed that the property had no separate bin for recycling, the instructions told us to take recycling to Ambleside not acceptable. 4. There was a lift but it couldn't be used, a maintenance man told us they had removed access in case somebody got stuck. Lugging heavy backs and provisions up two floors when we arrived and left was a real effort.

The Hover did not work. We noticed this in our previous stay.

Nothing really

Apartment was excellent with great views and it was in ideal location.
