The location is excellent and the views from the house are amazing!

The location of the house is excellent - just a short walk from all the shops and activity, but because it is high up, it was away from all of the noise. The view from the balcony and kitchen window is fantastic.

The kitchen tap vibrates like a hammer drill. The allocated car parking space is a bit tight for a larger vehicle or a van - better if you have a smaller car.

Another wonderful stay in this lovely property with its to-die-for balcony views

Location: just a couple of mins from central Ambleside, yet removed from the hustle and bustle; lovely balcony with beautiful views; well-equipped.

In rain, the roof leaks at the join between house and conservatory - same as last year.

Had a nice comfortable soothing stay at this place.

We went around in Spring. Rooms, Kitchens are very nice and well equipped. Toilets and Bathroom was very clean as well. Rooms were pretty warm, just requires a single heating. Instructions booklet has all relevant information for a comfortable stay. Location has amazing views, easy access to most of the top rated locations of the Lakes.

Living Room Sofa cover is already torn, it would be good if it is replaced.

Would definitely stay again

The location is amazing, 2 minutes from the centre. Balcony was ideal be it for the morning brew, enjoying the beautiful views or admiring the night skies. Comfortable rooms and nice bathroom, fair size kitchen for the size of the place.

Chess board with no pieces, bit of a tease ha ha.

Not suitable for elderly due to building work on nearby property

The cottage was clean and cosy with a gorgeous view and very well equipped

As we booked the property in September 2024, we were not informed of the building work going on from November 2024 which restricted access to the property. This resulted in having to carry our belongings from the car to the property then having to drive around to find a parking spot eventually finding one about 1/4 mile away. Had we known this in advance we would not have booked this property and opted for somewhere with 'on site' parking. As I am elderly and suffering from Peripheral Arterial Disease this was not ideal. We were also not informed of parking fees being refunded. It was not a pleasant experience as it was raining heavy and the walk to the property with our luggage was about 50 yards crossing a temporary wooden ramp which was slippery due to the rain and an outflow from the guttering. It was worse when the weather got really cold and the ramps became icy and more slippery. The property itself was quite pleasant. A message received on 23rd December implied a dishwasher was in the property, quote: "Please ensure all dishes are washed and put away. If possible put the dishwasher (where appropriate) on the night before and empty." Even dishwasher tablets were provided within the complimentary 'cleaning' pack. The 'summer' room leaked when raining so the floor was awash with rain water. I did inform the owner of the problem.

Lovely setting and amenities so I would return another time.

The position and view is exceptional for an in town property and made staying there extra enjoyable and part of the vacation. At the same time it is right in Ambleside and so very convenient for walking to all the local amenities. The purpose built apartment is clean, comfortable and well furnished to a high standard.

It is great to have a designated parking space, although as the parking is quite tight, a small to medium size car is essential - as advised. I did manage it with my Honda Civic.

Amazing location and views.

Brilliant location for the village, a short walk away. lovely views from the balcony.

Decoration was dated which was ok, given the price, but there was a hole in the duvet cover which really should be replaced. Parking was tricky - we had a small hire car thankfully.

Rainy but lovely view when the fog cleared

The view was lovely and access to the town via staircase was very convenient.

We could not quite figure out the heating system. Shower had good pressure.

Excellent base for exploring Lake District adventure.

Comfortable well equipped apartment, with lovely views. Well located near the centre of Ambleside, ideal for exploring the town and using its shops, restaurants etc. Also central for walking the famous Lake District fells.

7.0 / 10.0

Good

We had an enjoyable week at Todd Cragg View. The cottage is right in the heart of Ambleside but set up high above the High Street so not noisy. It's a steep climb up steps from the main road which provides an very quick short cut and worth the effort. There were 2 adults, 1 teenager and 1 child in our group and the cottage was of a decent size. The conservatory was particularly useful for boots, coats and backpacks. The clothes airer was helpful as anything damp could be hung up and it warmed up nicely in there to dry things off. The bedrooms were on the small side but fine and we all found the beds comfortable.

As with other reviewers, the property did have a strong smell of damp in the bedrooms which wasn't very nice. This is obviously a long term problem which will need to be resolved by the owners at some point. We had trouble getting the TV to work but Sykes Cottages quickly sent a maintenance chap round who sorted it out for us. Also as per other comments, the property is a little tired especially the kitchen, but ultimately you get what you pay for and all in all we felt it was value for money.

Superb

The location was great, the house was nice

Was asked to put rubbish, including recycling in red bag, but no red bag to be seen. Called Sykes, who manage the house, they said someone would bring one the next day, but we didn't receive it.

Worth it for the lovely views

The views are amazing. Having a balcony and a sun room which both look out over Todd Crag and Loughrigg was great. The kitchen has everything you need. Tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits was a nice touch. Handy to be provided with tea towels and washing up liquid too. The fold out table was a clever use of the space.

It is a relatively small living room area so not ideal if you want to all hang out and have your own space. The double bedroom smells ever so slightly damp, mitigated by opening the window. Some people might find the bathroom fan being on constantly annoying. The directions to the property could be clearer.

It's all about the view!

The view from the balcony was breathtaking! The apartment was ideally situated to be able to walk into Ambleside. There was everything you could need for an enjoyable stay.

The single beds were not very comfortable, but that could just be personal preference. The sofa protector was grubby, but we just covered it with a throw from the bedroom.

Great, two bedroom, ground floor flat, overlooking Ambleside.

We had a little trouble finding it - due to the storm our journey was disrupted and we arrived in the dark, in a hail storm, but the location is actually really convenient, pretty much on one floor (a few steps up to the bedrooms), and gives wonderful views over Ambleside and the fells, whilst being just a few minutes walk from the centre.

Hard to think of anything.

Great location for exploring the fells.

The apartment was in a great location for walking into the centre of Ambleside and for walking up the fells. It was cosy, warm, very clean and well equipped. The view from the lounge and balcony was spectacular, especially with all the Christmas lights.

The weather!!
