Redbanks Apartment

Very well looked after and clean, larger than we expected. Very comfortable, and great to be in the very centre of Ambleside (yet access to the house from quiet back street). Lovely getting back here after a busy day out exploring. Free parking should have been available, but because previous guests had taken the permit with them we had to use the public car park. However, the owners reimbursed us the cost of this. Although the flat was very private, and we were not disturbed - the owners were readily on call.

Blinds on the bedroom windows didn't really stop early daylight getting in. Not a problem when wanting to get up early, but I can see could have become an inconvenience.

Location perfect. Apartment rooms much bigger then expected. Facilities faultless

Not a problem for us but you may want to consider non slip shower mats . The small lamp in the living room didn’t work (? Bulb gone). Everything else faultless:-)

spacious, clean and modern

as with many properties in this area, there was double glazing so we could hear the road noise a lot, particularly over the weekend. delivery vans for the co-op and spa did not come too early.

The property appears to focus too much on new technology. No written instructions available as all supposed to be sourced via “Alexa”. If you are not use to this it can be daunting and extremely frustrating.

The location was just right for us as we planned to go see the lakes and waterfalls.

The lighting in the guest bedroom and the lounge area was dull .

Really spacious, clean, very comfortable beds and sofas. Two good bathrooms. Flexibility to have x3 single beds in one room. Fantastic location. Support available by phone at any time.

Found some of the technology challenging! It would have been useful to have instructions for hob/oven, washing machine etc. Took us a while to work out tv and that it wasn’t terrestrial tv. Mostly it was heating that caused us issues. it was difficult to see how we could get radiators to come on particularly when we were cold and wet. we did get support by phone and it seemed possible for owners to override problem remotely but didn’t seem a consistent pattern! Disappointed that the open fire was not in operation due to chimney problems.
