Waterfall Reviews

Very well equipped and very comfortable just needed a bit more cleaning corners and under beds but really enjoyable stay
We had a lovely time, the apartment was lovely and had everything you would need, location was great. The only negative is the lack of outdoor space, as the weather was nice it would have been good to sit outdoors on the evenings this would be the only reason we would not return to this particular accommodation.
A really lovely apartment, comfortable, well furnished and in a great position away from the busyness of the main streets. We return to this apartment regularly as it is so good.
Andrew
Waterfall was really comfortable and roomy. The facilities were firstclass and the location ideal.
Loved the location, close enough to Ambleside to enjoy all the town has to offer. Could hear a Stock Gyll which was lovely as well as see it from the little garden. Facilities at the apartment were great, loved the maps and local information. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need to be able to prepare meals. Beds comfortable. Just a lovely stay!
Bonnie

We Would recommend staying here, it is only a short walk into town and parking was a bonus. we would stay here again, thank you
Kathryn
Fabulous apartment. Photos dont really do it justice. Very comfortable and well equipped, we cooked every evening and had everything we needed. Located just up the hill from the town. Parking for two cars was great. Excellent base to explore.
Lovely place to stay and great location. Will definitely come back
