Is Wansfell Loft Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Lake Windermere sits nearby for waterside strolls. Multiple walking routes start from your door for shared outdoor adventures. The modern interior offers comfort after days exploring. Book shops and cafes surround the property for relaxed mornings together.

Pet Friendly

Wansfell Loft does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all bookings.

Wansfell Loft Reviews

Anneke

Thank you for a wonderful stay! The apartment was very clean, spacious, the owners had thought of everything... it felt like home from home. The beds were very comfy, the showers superb, the facilities perfect, overall a very relaxed break in beautiful surroundings. We didn't use the car once throughout our stay because there was so much to do, just a walk from the front door. We would definitely recommend to others. It might be helpful to take somes ear plugs as the traffic on a busy corner could disturb a light sleeper. We love Ambleside!

Jennifer

An excellent place to stay My sisters and I had a fabulous week We rate this ... An excellent place to stay My sisters and I had a fabulous week We rate this property very highly and would definitely recommend it

The location of the place was fantastic, although access to the parking spot wasn't ideal as it was right on the corner of a busy road with a bit of a blind bend. The actual parking spot was a little difficult to navigate out of as you had to reverse onto the aforementioned busy road. Whilst there were issues with parking, we couldn't fault the accommodation. It was clean, spacious and had all we needed for 4 adults and 1 baby. We loved our stay at the place and would recommend.

Lesley

The accommodation was excellent, clean and comfortable. The location suited our needs very well.

Lovely apartment. Spotlessly clean

Andrew

Wansfell Loft is an excellent place to stay. It's easy walking distance to everything you need in Ambleside which, is in the heart of The Lakes. The accommodation is spacious and fitted out to a high standard, with a very well equipped kitchen and has its own dedicated parking space. The instructions for obtaining access and keys etc are very easy to follow. I've stayed here two years running now and would not hesitate to book it again.

An exceptional property. Everything was quality. It had everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. Good location, fantastic views of wansfell from the living room.

Jillian

Lovely accommodation. Very comfortable and clean, had everything we needed. Good location. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is an amazing property. Exceeded expectations. We were a family of 5 adultswho comfortably fitted into the property without being on top of each other. We had reservations regarding parking 3 cars. The property comes with one space. The other 2 cars parked without charge within the road of the property. Location was perfect. Lots of shops, restaurants and pubs easily walkable. Fantastic bus service which enabled us to not use the cars. Great walks from property. Would definitely return. Thank you so much.

Spacious apartment. Very convenient location for town centre shops and restaurants. Good to have a parking space and it is only a short walk to the bus station with frequent reliable services to most places throughout the Lakes. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Flight of stairs to entrance, so not suitable for people with mobility problems.

Rebecca

3rd consecutive year staying at the property. It gives us the space we need and is in an excellent location which are the main reasons we have returned. However, the mattresses and bedding are disappointing. I understand mattresses are to taste, so this would not be a criticism on its own but the duvets are way too thick and heavy for the time of year and a fan should be provided in the bedrooms. If I hadnt had taken my own fan, sleeping would have been unbearable in the top double bedroom and you cant really open the window in case of rain overnight. We love the property but for the price, small touches would make all the difference. We visit Ambleside every year and have already discussed whether we will

Darrell

Brilliant. Very well organised.

Christina

Lovely property. Very clean. Great position in Ambleside but quiet too .

Andrew

This is a great property in an ideal location. Four of us stayed here for a week and there was plenty of room, plenty of hot water and a very well appointed kitchen. The apartment is decorated to a high standard and is in easy walking distance to anything in Ambleside. Parking is fine as long as you follow the instructions given so everyone can get in and out safely. Will stay here again on future trips.
