“Mixed really in that somethings were great like location and bathroom and cleanliness. But for a family room, which mean”
+Location Cleanliness
−Very noisy because the windows do not shut properly so all the noise from cars and people came straight through. The windows really don’t seal shut so the noise is almost unbearable. We had kids with us and they hardly got any sleep. I know it’s only a guest house but as there is on site I thought there woukd be an ironing board and iron. Normally if there isn’t one in the room, there is atleast one to share between those staying. Some of the things like plastic plates and cutlery. Bathroom was very clean, infact I would say it was by done distance the best facility. Could not fault anything at all in bathroom. I also have to give credit to the cleaners and general cleanliness was top draw.

“Lovely accommodation great for a walking weekend good value for money”
+Comfy bed warm shower well situated in Ambleside.
−Code for the door was tricky to use was okay once we had the key. Not sure if the key pad was low on charge, lighting in the room was quite dim.

+I absolutely loved the room. I am definitely booking this accommodation when I return to lake District for sure. It was cozy, clean and I felt safe with the technology used in terms of passcode instead of keys.
−I wouldn't say it's something I didn't like but rather an observation. There wasn't many plugs I needed few in order to charge my electric items. The lighting could be a bit brighter to give a fresh feeling.
