My husband and I, enjoyed our sevennight stay from 39 June 2026 at Todd Crag View, an idyllic base with an enviable view for hikes in the Lake District. We appreciated the facilities of the kitchen that enabled us to selfcater. However, we suggest the following improvements for future guests 1 provide specific instructions on how to open doors we had to reach out to a neighbour to show us the uncommon intricacy of turning the door handle and the key, 2 ensure that the cottage is thoroughly cleaned the bedroom with the queensize bed was slept on by previous guests and used towels were in the bathroom when we checked in, and 3 enable email communication rather than just phone calls between guests and the property agent were Malaysians and calling the agent would have been costly. A tip for guests making their way on foot besides walking up the steep 50plus steps next to The Lily Bar, one could opt to walk up a gentler path intersecting Cheapside lane where The Baabars is.

Todd Crag View was a nice little apartment and very handy , being walking distance from the centre of Ambleside. We had only one real issue when we some on our 2nd day to find we had no not water, but I phoned the contact number and Mrs. Goldie quickly arranged for someone to come out to check the boiler and by the time we returned in the afternoon they had called and fixed things. Excellent service !!. Probably needs a new sofa ,but that apart everything was fine comfy bed and great shower , plus kitchen had everything we needed. I would happily re book it staying in the area again.

The view is amazing! I could have sat out on the balcony all day were it not for occasional rain and all the other attractions of the Lake District. The only thing that could have been better was that the settee was not comfortable for everyone it has odd shaped cushions which can't be removed. But that was all. I would come again for that view.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Couple of negatives were the parking. Shouldn't be listed as having parking as we were only able to use the space once. As soon as any other cars were parked, you can't get in. We have a Peugeot 308, so not a big car. Managed to park 5 minutes away though. Also no, toilet paper or any form of washing up liquid or soap. Not big enough for four in the lounge as only a three seater sofa. Took turns sitting on the dining chairs. That aside, the location was very good and you can get to the centre of the village in 10 minutes. The view from the balcony is great and we sat out when we could Lovely little apartment, but will not be returning due to the parking situation, which is a shame as love Ambleside.

Highly recommend this place. Very clean and good facilities provided. It is in a very convenient place for local amenities with a great view. We stayed two weeks and would definitely return. The sun room was great not in the pictures for a place to sit in bad weather and for drying items. Parking is tight but manageable we have a Skoda Fabia estate. Sofa is comfortable enough, with a nice foot rest extension.

Nice flat, great location, lovely view, however balcony needs a deep clean, bird droppings and algae. Sofa needs replaced.

Stunning views. A very clean and comfortable property. We had a splendid week here. Just steps away from all the town centre has to offer. Yet there was a deer waiting at the bottom of the terraced gardens to greet us when we arrived. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay again.

Great little place. The kitchen was good but could do with the extractor fan being replaced so the smells of cooking are removed and also the smoke alarm doesnt get set off. We did have one small issue which was dealt with promptly, so all good. Thanks

Perfect location, just 2 mins walk to bus stop, and 3 mins walk to tesco. We travel by public transport, so convenient location is crucial to us. Lovely balcony and nice view! Finally, the host is very helpful!! Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I couldnt park in the allocated space, but it was all covered with notes on where to park if necessary. Thank you we would certainly return.

Had a lovely stay in Todd crag view, loved the little balcony with lovely views. The cottage was conveniently situated a few minutes walk to the restaurants and shops. I would definitely come stay again

This is the third time we have stayed at Todd Crag View. The flat is ideal for us, being well equipped and superbly situated in the heart of Ambleside with fantastic views.

Although instructed to place a parking permit in our car, there was no parking permit in the property. Other than this the property was very comfortable & in a superb location with amazing views to the fells

This is the second time we have stayed at Tod Crag View. The property is comfortable, a good size for our needs, and extremely well situated in the heart of Ambleside. Plus the view from the living room window is stunning. The only downside is the parking spot, which is very tricky to navigate, but I can appreciate there is no simple solution. We would happily stay there again.

Lovely apartment which is well cared for and nicely decorated with lovely views. Mostly very clean. Just 3 negative points. 1 the oven needed a good clean 2 a hot stand for pansoven tins would have been very useful 3 future guests need to be aware the parking is VERY tight. We only have a Ford Fiesta and it was a 2 man job for us to get the car into the parking spot. It is parallel parking between two cars with a wall either side. That all said we would definitely recommend!

The property was dusty in places. The parking should be reevaluated for modern car sizes and a warning that the parking spaces are small and there is no turning space requiring cars to be maneuvered into place however due to the size of the spaces you may be required to ask another resident to move to get you car out

Lovely comfortable apartment. A little small if you had 4 adults staying but suitable for 2 adults and 2 children. Brilliant location and stunning views from the balcony. New carpets had been fitted throughout the apartment and everything you needed in the kitchen. Would recommend and stay again in the future.. PARKING a little tight as a very narrow driveway alongside the buildings and only suitable for smallmed car but with a little compromise and talking to the other neighbours we managed to park our large car.

Lovely cottage with amazing views. The location was very central and good access into Ambleside town centre.

Furnishings ie sofa could do with updating or cleaning as was heavily marked.

We had a fantastic holiday in this lovely apartment which had everything we needed and was big enough for our family of 4. The views were simply stunning and we found lots to do in the area.

Although the view is stunning from Todd Crag we felt that the property was very basic and tired. The shower was lukewarm at best, not good after a day's walking. An outside light would be helpful, we arrived in pitch black! It would be also be helpful to provide toilet paper and hand soap in the bathroom.

An extremely comfortable flat with some impressive views, situated conveniently ... An extremely comfortable flat with some impressive views, situated conveniently in the centre of Ambleside for all local amenities

A very enjoyable week, but two sets of keys would have been ideal.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our break in Ambleside and would recommend the flat to anyone looking for accommodation close to the town centre. The walk up is a tad steep and may not be suitable for everyone. However the views are worth a bit of puffing and panting ! I wasn't so keen on the parking arrangements. Parallel parking aside, the lane is narrow and it takes time to manoeuvre especially when the car in front of you is really too big for the spot. The flat was spotless, except for the carpet, and had everything we needed. If it wasn't for the parking, I would definitely come back.

The apartment is good and in an excellent location. Although it is for up to four people it may be a bit cramped with 4 adults. Be aware that there is parking but only for a small car.

Great location with lovely view. Handy for walks, buses, shops. Apartment is comfortable but starting to look a little jaded.

Excellent location, quiet and relaxing

We loved the apartment and its situation. The views were lovely in all weathers and it was good to have a balcony and covered area to sit. The facilities in the apartment were excellent overall. It was lovely to sit at the table and take in the views whilst eating our meals. Parking space fine if one of the spaces in front or behind was vacant not enough room to manoeveur otherwise. We parked outside of the apartment one evening no problem.

The apartment is really well located, with a short flight of steps taking you directly onto Ambleside's main shopping street. Literally 2 mins to Tesco and 4 mins to Spar and Coop. It is comfortably equipped with lots of attention to detail. The bathroom is especially good large, with a powerful shower. There is a glassroofed 'lobby' with loads of space to hang wet coats or in our case to store muddy running shoes. I would reiterate what others have said about the parking. You have a space in the centre bay in a line of three. If flats 1 and 3 have both occupied their spaces, then you will only be able to get into parking space no. 2 if you are in a fairly small car we have a VW Golf. This is because you are restricted on the 'open' side by the wall of the apartment block, so you can only swing the front of the car out by a certain amount or you will scrape the wall. If either of the spaces 1 or 3 are empty, however, then you have no problem as you can drive straight in. So when the instructions say 'mediumsized car', take it seriously! There was no electric whiskmixer in the kitchen. Not a big deal but my kids wanted to bake. The recycling situation is not satisfactory. You basically throw all of your rubbish into a single bin located outside the front door. If you want to recycle then a note in the flat advises you to go to a public recycling centre in Ambleside. This may be the fault of the council rather than the flat owners, but surely there is provision for household recycling collection in Ambleside? All in all, a very well located and well equipped flat, with lovely views a bonus.

This apartment has a wonderful location with a brilliant view from the balcony but still just two minutes walk from the town. It was well equipped with comfortable beds and a very good bathroom and shower. We were accompanied by our 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend who were out and about a lot which helped with space. It is quite small for four people, but it was very warm during the week we were there, and we didn't feel particularly cramped. We were able to use the balcony for sitting out on as well as the living room which has a very comfortable sofa big enough for two. The dining table folds out to seat four comfortably for meals. There is also an additional sitting area in the front porch which traps the heat very effectively. The TV had plenty of on demand channels and WiFi was good. The parking space is a bit tricky and we were lucky that the space behind wasn't being used which left us a bit more wiggle room. In fact, we only moved the car once during the week as there is so much to do from Ambleside itself. We got a useful pack of easy to follow walks from tourist information, it's also only ten minutes walk to the pier and we got all day tickets for the boats, buses are frequent and we also enjoyed the cinema, cafes and restaurants in town. A great little base in a great little town. Highly recommended.

Amazing views from balcony. Great location. Front door lock very temperamental. Parking. Thankfully only 2 other cars there otherwise parking would have been very tricky.

It was very hot, the flat faces SW, so gets sun most of day. Living room is like an oven, could do with cooling fan in extreme conditions as we've had. Living room carpet looked like it needed deep cleaning. But that is only criticism, very pleased, great flat for two, good location, balcony was fab for good weather. Loved it.

Problem with car parking we had small car as advised but people in other cottages had large cars and made it impossible on a no of times for us to park. We loved location and views. Plenty of room for two but not 4 we managed with 3 could do with another comfortable chair sofa only big enough for 2.Cottage clean and well equipped. Loved the birds that visited verandah.

Perfect location ideal for a couple or a family with small children bedside table would have been nice and full length hanging space in main bedroom. Would stay there again

The property is in a great location close to the centre of Ambleside and with great views. It is very well appointed. The listing makes it clear that the car parking space is only suitable for a smaller car. We managed to use the space successfully because many of the other spaces were empty and we have a rear camera on our car. However without a camera and if others were using the car park it would have been extremely difficult as one would have to reverse some distance down a narrow space between a wall and other parked cars and then parallel park in the space provided. It is not simply a small parking space in which one can bay park. I think that should be made more clear on the listing so people know what to expect.

The perfect little home from home in our perfect location. Literally a stones throw from all the amenities of the lovely village of Ambleside, whilst also having that great get away feel by being completely silent at night. The apartment is situated on a road running parallel to one of the main streets into the village, with the benefit of being up the hill so the views are beautiful and easily appreciated as you sit and have breakfast either at the dining table or out on the balcony. The apartment couldn't have provided a more lovely place to stay for me and my husband, with an ideal kitchen for us to eat in on occasions, a great bathroom with massive shower and a very cosy bedroom. We didn't need the second bedroom but it is adiquate space for two children. The lounge has a smart tv which meant we could log in to our Netflix account as well as watch freeview. The lounge itself is very comfy for two people and I'm sure would fit young children as well. We really hope we can stay here again as it had everything we needed and is situated in a great location for all the lakes we wanted to explore.
