Is Pure Grace Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Stock Ghyll Force waterfall offers an easy woodland walk. Ambleside town centre provides shops and cafes within strolling distance. The first floor location with balcony and designer furnishings makes this property less suitable for toddlers and young children.
For Couples
Pure Grace delivers a luxury romantic retreat with spectacular panoramic views across Lake Windermere from the balcony and living area. Two king-size bedrooms feature designer en-suite bathrooms. The Mark Wilkinson kitchen and stylish furnishings create an upscale atmosphere. Couples can walk to Windermere ferries and Ambleside restaurants within minutes.

Pet Friendly
Pure Grace does not accept pets. The property maintains a strict no pets policy for all guests. The exclusive development and designer furnishings require a pet-free environment. Guests travelling with dogs should look for alternative Lake District properties that welcome animals. The landscaped gardens and lakeside location would otherwise suit dog walking, but the building restrictions prevent pet stays at this apartment.

Beautiful apartment, very well furnished, very clean. Great location.
Fantastic location, well appointed and quiet accommodation with private parking. Definately recommend for a stay in and around the lakes. Nothing against the apartment but weirdly the previous occupiers used a separate waste bin which we became aware of, under the sink two days into our stay a wee note to the cleaners maybe?
Steven
The property is excellent and would not hesitate to recommend it or visit again. Directions and instruction are accurate and easy to follow. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped with quality beds, furniture and kitchen equipment. We had a great time during our visit.
Exceptionally high standard throughout. Beautiful views.
Pamela
Pure Grace is a lovely holiday home. It has everything we wished for. R Staying at Romney Grange always adds to the joy of staying in The Lakes. Thank you for your help with the TV.
We had booked Pure Grace originally for 7 nights but were available to leave home a day early & managed to secure the booking for an additional night on the Thursday. On arriving at the property we found a number of issues. There was a small flood in the kitchen that had been caused by the freezer being turned off. This & the mouldy trays were cleaned by ourselves. The property was warm but it was obvious that the apartment had been unoccupied for a period in February & we wanted to boost the heating. We found the radiators almost impossible to control & the one near the patio door didnt work at all. After settling in over the weekend we became very attached & comfortable at Pure Grace so we extended our stay by an additional 3 nights. Overall a very enjoyable & comfortable stay but could have been a better welcome by Lakelovers. Chris & Suzanne.
Jennifer
We came for New Year. Everything was lovely and we had absolutely everything we needed. Plenty of parking spaces for both our cars, very quite with absolutely gorgeous views. Very warm and comfortable. Would definitely visit again. Thank you Jennifer

Pure Grace love the name btw is a fabulous apartment in a fabulous location, the view couldn't be bettered and to be opposite Windermere and the jetties for the boats made it very special. The apartment is furnished and equipped to a very high and comfortable standard and it was super clean. however there were a few slightly negative things. 1. we could find no instructions for the microwave and could not figure it out. 2. we could find no instructions for the tv, apple tv asked for passwords so we were limited to BBC iplayer 3. there was a problem with the dishwasher, the middle sprayer had fallen off and we couldn't see how to attach it. 4. the plug in the hand basin in the ensuite shower room doesn't work. 5. the downlighters in the bedroom with the ensuite give off migraine inducing flashes when they have been on for a few minutes. I emailed Lakelovers with these comments during our stay but had no reply 6. some nicer mugs would be good. Worth noting for others that the welcome packs are very basic i.e. a few tea bags, coffee sachets, sugar sachets, UHT milk sachets and a few biscuits. Not really worth having, you will have to bring your own initial supplies. The purple folder says that some chocolates were left for our enjoyment, however there were no chocolates. Although very clean and comfortable, it all felt very impersonal and business like. There was a notice beside the lift warning that it could break down at any time due to power shortages, it advised us to use the stairs or put luggage or shopping in the lift and send it on its own. it advised that if we were in couples or groups that not all members should travel together then at least someone would know if we were stuck in the lift slightly alarming. however the apartment is only one floor up and it is easy to send luggage updown. although I have listed these 'negatives' they are by way of reporting and would not stop us renting Pure Grace again, we would also recommend it to others.
Steven
The property was faultless. The customer service from Lakelovers has been appalling. I have tried to call a number of times and no one picks up the phone, and I've emailed twice and not received a reply or acknowledgement.
Beautiful and tastefully decorated property with the most perfect views, loved being able to walk into town. Some small niggleson our first night we found glass in one of the beds which cut my sons foot very random but not serious Some of the cookware didnt work with the induction hob or the non stick elements past their best. Overall an exceptional and comfortable base for a special week away.
Lovely property. Very well furnished and decorated. Two great bathrooms and superb kitchen. Spotlessley clean. Good on site parking. Beautiful views over Windermere and fells beyond.
Roderick
We loved staying in Pure Grace, the views were amazing and the apartment just perfect. We just had to be very careful when we were using the shower in the ensuite, the water was very very slow to drain and flooded out of the cubicle on one occasion.
Our second stay at Pure Grace over Xmas. Good to see issues raised on our previous visit had been addressed, thank you for the Christmas Tree and champagne glasses. Beautiful apartment, a view to die for. Everything you need for a perfect self catering holidays. Couple of minor niggles, dead batteries in remote control, heating took a while to heat up and electric wall heater blew out cold air, operating instructions missing. Would definitely recommend this lovely apartment for a luxury break in the Lakes. Location so good we never moved our car for the whole week. Easy short walk in to Ambleside, longer walks from the apartment, bus stop outside and Windermere ferries across the road. Would certainly return.
Our third time here, and generally satisfied. Crumbs on floor and in one of the cupboards. Freezer needed defrosting. Other than that, OK, but we have been with several self catering companies in the past few years and all of them provide a welcome pack, which is a nice touch, even basics like milk, bread, teacoffee, butter. One company goes further with pasta, sauce, fruit, wine. The only thing left for us in Pure Grace were some sachets of coffee, several years seriously out of date. Like some other reviewers, I feel Lakelovers has in recent years, lost any semblance of being welcoming, or making an effort to show a bit of customer care.
Michael
I only gave 4 stars on 2 questions because the balcony doors proved too difficult to open despite hp given to us by your maintenance man. Otherwise we were very pleased.
The property is ideally situated and in general well appointed. but, despite previous complaints by previous renters over the last three years, the patio door remains broken and potentially dangerous. During our stay, we had no option other than to leave the door open and the property therefore open to the elements. Luckily the weather was benign. Then the issue with the dishwasher door, again the subject of previous complaints. The door slams open and is heavy, and at some point one of your renters will hurt themselves badly and break their leg. Again this has not been addressed. Finally, a welcome pack would have been appreciated, even if this had been limited to milk and bread. If these problems are not resolved we will ask Lakelovers or Hearts of the Lake to place us in one of the other apartments in the block
Stunning apartment, luxurious as promised, the view of the lake and the mountains beautiful. We were disappointed that there were no Xmas decorations considering wed booked a Chrismas break away, this is the first time ever weve had to take our own. The key pick up rather impersonal no directions given etc. No welcome pack or basic provisions again a first out of numerous cottages we have rented in the past. Housekeeping rather lax. Although clean and tidy little things had been missed or forgotten. The dishwasher door was broken this has been reported twice on previous reviews, the hinge was broken making it very dangerous. In addition the smell from the dishwasher was disgusting, the soap dispenser wasnt working. Cupboards untidy no attempt to group items to make things easier to find, some cooking items and table mats dirty. Knives useless, our Chrismas day turkey was hacked rather than carved. Instructions missing for key items. No instructions for heating, cooker instructions eventually found in kitchen. Reported lack of instructions for heating and someone turned up with portable heaters! We were too hot not too cold. The second bedroom was like a sauna it was set at 28 C we discovered on our final day when we managed to work out how to use the heating controls. Batteries had run out on remote control, no TV for our first night. Light bulbs in bedroom out. No basic toiletries in bathrooms. A minor but irritating point was no champagne glasses. Broken leg on sofa. There just seemed to be a lack of care, although luxurious something missing!!! Reflected in some way in that there was no Guest Book allowing you to leave personal comments, hence this rather lengthy review. Would we recommend it to others, yes with caveats. Would we return, yes, as we would be more prepared and that view is to die for!
A very comfortable apartment, in a great location. The property is well equipped and beautifully furnished. A bit of a pest having to go to Windermere to collect and drop off keys! Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever.
Stephen
Everything described about the property was spot on and we really enjoyed our stay, however cleanliness was an issue. There were cobwebs on the ceilings and dust on surfaces. For over 1,500 for a weeks stay the least I expect is basic cleanliness.
Excellent apartment furnished to a very high standard. Fantastic views over Lake Windermere and Waterhead. Great location for walks from the apartment and boat trips on Lake Windermere. 15 min walk into Ambleside for food, either restaurants or mini supermarkets. No 'local' food shop in Waterhead, but there isare restaurants opposite the apartment. Rental price took advantage of the shortage of staycation properties available, we could go on a one week 4 or 5 cruise from Southampton for the same price!! However, it suited our needs, this time The Summary details need adjusting as there is only one ensuite bathroom and one bedroom with a bathroom directly opposite the corridor. A couple of minor maintenance issues that did not affect the holiday. The shower and bath do drain very slowly and can cause the shower tray to overflow, despite the notice stating the waste falloff being the reason, they both need a good dose of Mr Muscle Shower Drain Gel much better than alternative brands available locally. We have a very similar ensuite with the same problem and Mr Muscle solved it.
Sharon
We really loved Pure Grace, the apartment was lovely especially the views of the lake at its closeness to everything, our only complaint is the fact that you have to stop at lake lovers offices to collect and drop off the keys, there is barely any parking at the office and it is in a busy Town, not a very convenient way to start and end your holiday.
Lesley
Fantastic location, the apartment was amazing , every possible thing you could ... Fantastic location, the apartment was amazing , every possible thing you could need, equipped and decorated to an extremely high standard could not recommend highly enough
Excellent apartment furnished to a very high standard. Very central for all amenities and the view from the front room and balcony are to die for .
2 things. The freezer door had been left ajar for some time and a large amount of ice had built up. Consequently, the freezer was unusable May I suggest that housekeeping and checking of the apartment prior to our arrival was inadequate ? Second small point. The folder containing the operating instruction for the various equipments had been buried in the back of the coffeetable drawers. It needs to be on display. Excellent stay nevertheless.
This is a great location to be in during summer, away from the largest of the crowds but at the centre of Waterhead for activities like rental boats and ferries. There is easy access to other towns using local transport and boats. The apartment is lovely, wellmaintained and comfortable. It has a beautiful view of Lake.
Loved the stunning apartment, beautifully decorated, immaculate and views were to die for. ...perfect location too....did not use car at all during our stay...traveled on boats or walked. Can't wait to go back...
