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.

Location balcony shower all good

No welcome pack or letter, damp issue, sofa

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.

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.

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.

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.
