. thank goodness the lift was working as I had just come out of hospital with a broken pelvis. We had a couple of suggestions, which we aired in the comments book... 1. The parking space was not wide enough, as we had a Transit van parked in number 12 for most of the week. 2. The central heating controls were not explained.. the bedrooms got very cold in the evening/night and the electric fire only worked on the 2kW setting (very noisy). 3. There were no blankets etc. that we could use at night, when it got really cold in the bedrooms. 4. On one of the beds, the fitted sheet was not deep enough, and kept coming off. Apart from those things, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again.

We love the location and all of the facilities within the apartment. There were a couple of maintenance issues i.e. the ball valve in the medium sized rooms toilet was broken and there were a couple of lightbulbs that needed replacing, but this did not distract from us having a wonderful time. We are already planning on returning in November for the Keswick Christmas Light switch on.

Beds we not made and there was a great load of dirty laundry through the apartment. Having called back into the office it was discovered that the cleaner had missed the clean. Due to not being able to check in until after 4pm and it being a Saturday it didnât leave the staff with many options. After call with head office I was offered unacceptable alternative accommodation. I was then promised a call on the next day to confirm the attendance of a cleaner. This call didnât happen and the apartment was not cleaned on day 2 (Sunday). After attending the office again on Monday I was assured that a cleaner would attend that day. This did happen but sadly it had already spoilt our experience.
