Little Hart Crag

5 Customer Reviews

• "I enjoyed my stay at Little Hart Crag, which is in a great location within easy reach of the lake and Ambleside itself."

  The apartment is a good size, clean and had all the amenities you need. I didn't experience any major issues while staying there but there are two things I would comment on. As another reviewer mentioned, there is a damp smell in the bedroom which is not very pleasant. Another thing to note is when it rains (as it often does in Cumbria) the road immediately outside the flat floods and passing traffic (the property is right in the road) sprays water on the front door and windows, which is both loud and problematic when returning and leaving. Not sure if anything can be done about that, but guests should be mindful of this during the rainy season. Other than those two things, the apartment was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone needed a well-located stay in Ambleside for hiking in the hills.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide us some feedback. The owner will be able to see your comment and so can assess the issues. It is unfortunate about the road but as suggested, there is not much that can be done. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and all that the area has to offer.

• "I have already complained to Sykes regarding this property and will be following this up if I do not hear back from them in the next few days."

  In brief: The property has a damp, nasty odour permeating throughout, including the furniture. The property was dirty. There was a chopping board in the kitchen with thick blue mould on both sides. The carpet was dirty. Although the property is advertised as being on a main road, it should be also advised that the road is heavily used 24/7. If you are a light sleeper, do not book this cottage. Overall this is not a pleasant cottage to stay at. Sykes' 4 star rating could not be further from the truth. We use Sykes two or three times a year, but this booking has not met their standards at all.

  Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you experienced during your stay. We understand that our Housekeeping Team have attended the property to resolve. Due to the proximity of the road from the property, noise disturbance is to be expected. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "We could have done with it being advertised as a ground floor but with sme steps."

  we could have used the instruction manual for the cooker struggled to work it, we would have like a safety mat in the shower and a glass jug for the microwave

• "The apartment was incredibly loud, day and night due to the neighbouring road."

  The bedroom light wasn't working, to which I had to call maintenance twice about - to only then find out they knew about the faulty lighting ahead of me moving in, thanks for the heads up! You cant open the curtains to let the light in, as the bedroom is directly onto the pavement along the road, nobody wants to see me dry myself after a shower. The shower, was AMAZING once you're in - if you are on the bigger side of people, you may struggle to squeeze through the gap to get in. I'm not a fat person, nor am I skinny - but it was a close call fitting through the shower door. There was a washing machine in the apartment which was great, however no clothes horse to hang your clothes - odd. The information on the apartment WIFI is handwritten on the windowsill, although barely legible (Use a computer!!!) The sofa wasn't comfortable, as you can guess via the pictures. After a long beautiful hike across the lakes, come back to that. There was food still left in the cupboards, I assume from previous tenants. I've stayed in other Sykes managed apartments and have been greeted by a wonderful gift basket (Lowe-mcconnell), such a wonderful touch - really makes the trip - worth a thought?!

• "We really enjoyed our stay!"

  The location was perfect, close enough to the centre to walk yet not too close that it was too busy. We were able to access the mountains easily from the apartment by car and had lots to do in Ambleside. Our only constructive criticism would be that we found that the apartment could have been a little better equipped with extra cooking utensils and maybe extra towels etc. Staying for a weekend would have been ideal but as we stayed for a week we could have done with an extra few things! Otherwise highly recommended, thanks for having us.

  Thank you-we will make the appropriate changes Property Owner
