    “An otherwise warm and cosy stay in a homely apartment was spoiled by a wasp infestation.”

    On arrival we were met by a dozen or so wasps on the lounge area carpet, curtains and windows. We removed them all, but next day we had several more back in the same area, plus in the small hall between the third bedroom and the shower room. We stayed for four nights and had a couple of new wasps every day. We tried blocking up all the holes around cable outlets etc, but they still managed to get in. I understand its difficult to manage wild insects, but the previous tenants had also experienced ...

We stayed for four nights and had a couple of new wasps every day. We tried blocking up all the holes around cable outlets etc, but they still managed to get in. I understand its difficult to manage wild insects, but the previous tenants had also experienced a problem with the wasps and had mentioned them in the guest book, so we were very disappointed that they hadn’t been dealt with before we arrived. It spoiled what could have been a very relaxing stay. The beds and sofas were excellent and the view is lovely.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
