Great location and property
We stayed 3 nights and it was excellent! Located in the heart of the Ambleside downtown we were closed to restaurants/bars/shopping. The property was exactly how the pictures showed-lots of space, modern, and clean.

Perfect Stay!
The Sorting Office was perfect for two couples for 3 days exploring Ambleside.
The location is incredible and the apartment has everything you need.
Check in after 4pm was quite late, but the process was super easy.
If we didn't have a 24 hour journey to get there from Australia we'd be booking again asap!
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
