Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Apple Loft Rooms from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Apple Loft Rooms' wonderful location right in the heart of Ambleside, making it easy to walk to restaurants, pubs, and shops. The views from the rooms are frequently mentioned, especially the iconic view of the bridge house with the fells in the background, often enjoyed from chairs placed by the wide windows. Many appreciate the modern and clean rooms, and the thoughtful touches like fresh milk and the delicious gingerbread from the Apple Pie bakery, where guests also receive a 10% discount, though a few guests have noted that the online images appear more flattering than the actual accommodations. The spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and convenient access to a drying room add to the positive experience, making it a great value for many.

fantastic central stay!

central location spacious room convenient kettle

The location was indeed perfect, right in the center. the room was spacious and beautifully styled. i appreciated the full-size kettle and large mugs. That's a nice touch for tea drinkers like me.

The noise from the main road was noticeable at times. The apartment was compact.
