Is Ramblers Rest Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Ramblers Rest is not particularly suitable for children. The property is a one-bedroom apartment designed for two adults with no specific child facilities or equipment. The woodland setting and wildlife watching may interest older children. The on-site pool and leisure complex (closed November to March) could provide entertainment. The steep access road and outdoor steps present safety considerations for families with young children.
For Couples
Perfect for couples wanting a peaceful retreat. The one-bedroom apartment offers privacy in 18 acres of woodland with mountain views. The log burner effect fire creates atmosphere for cosy evenings. Patio doors from both bedroom and lounge open to a furnished patio for morning coffee. Walk directly from the door into Langdale Valley. Ambleside and Grasmere sit 4.4 miles away for romantic dinners and lakeside strolls.
Pet Friendly
Ramblers Rest does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no pets policy for all guests. The woodland setting and surrounding 18 acres would otherwise be ideal for dogs. Nearby Langdale Valley walks and trails from the door would suit active dogs perfectly. However, the owners do not permit any animals at this apartment. Pet owners should look for alternative accommodation in the area.

Ramblers Rest Reviews

The best thing about this cottage was peace and quiet and that view! Had a horrendous head cold all week so couldn't do much walking as planned but the settee was a good place to be with choice of books, CDs and TV. Surrounded by wildlife.

Excellent location very peaceful with beautiful views. Some areas of the pocket a little cluttered but other than that it was clean and comfortable.

Excellent location with a beautiful view from the property. Stayed very cool inside during a heatwave but could be cold if not so hot outside!. The apartment itself has a good space and a full kitchen. However, there is quite a lot of clutter and lots of unnecessary electronic devices such as multiple sky boxes, Alexas, wifis, entertainment systems etc. The apartment was clean enough but generally could do with a bit of updating and a clear out of the cupboards, under the bed etc. There is a friendly duck that visits for snacks! The estate has a small indoor pool and table tennis table which can be used. It is walking distance from lovely walks and Loughrigg Tarn which is perfect for a dip! The local pub is 5 mins walk and has good food and outdoor seating options.

This was our 3rd stay at Rambler's Rest, and it's a comfortable flat, with all that you could need. It was clean. The bed is comfortable. You'll need a car for restaurants in the evening, but it's handy for walks in Langdale and Ambleside. Recommended.

Lovely views without the leaves on the trees, but this property isnt up to scratch to be marketed as a holiday let. No bedlinen on arrival, and someone elses dirty laundry in the bath. This was resolved quickly, but it was a poor start to the trip. The property itself is very dated, which is fine, but where there is excessive wear, such as very tired bathroom cabinets, mouldy bedroom curtains, etc, the owner should be investing in upgrades. The owner might also want to reduce and update all the instructions that were written around the property. Generally clean, but in need of a deep clean and clear out. Many handles and shelves were sticky and had crumbs on them. The place generally felt like a dumping ground of old furniture, electronics, and someone elses household knickknacks. The bedroom was so small and cluttered that it was overly claustrophobic, so we ended up sleeping on camping mats on the living room floor. The property served a purpose it was warm and dry, but we left early, as it wasnt exactly a joy to be in the place, andwe would have rather been at home.

This accommodation is satisfactory but needs some serious updating and maintenance. Outdoor steps to rear of property are a collection of old bits of wood slippery when wet . The bedroom heater is hanging off the wall, bits of wire supposed to hold it on, but it falls off. Patio door in bedroom leaks through vent to the inside making floor wet. Dining room chair being used as bedside cabinet . Bathroom window has old bit of something covering it that cant be taken off. Wires and old equipment with bits of paper stuck on things for instructions, this happens all through the property , Information from 2011 in the details about property. For walkers no boot rack . Shame because the location is beautiful and with some updating this could be a fantastic little gem of a place. The site it is on is great.
Robert
Was a great apartment nice clean and well maintained would have got top marks ... Was a great apartment nice clean and well maintained would have got top marks all round but the access road was very steep and only single lane it caused my wife to panic if we had known would not have booked the site but all other things as usual with Sykes were great
Gareth
Our third visit to Ramblers Rest which has got to say something. Its in such a fabulous position, ideal for walks directly from the property. Just one slight negative, someone needs to have a word with the cleaners about really greasy oven trays and pans.
The apartment is in a beautiful location and is comfortable and wellequipped. We arrived to a spotless kitchen and bathroom and lovely fresh bedding and towels. However, I agree with previous guests who say that the apartment needs a declutter and a good deep clean. Overall a great place to stay and one we would probably book again
