Guests that stayed at this property said

The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests noting it as clean and well-maintained. However, there were isolated complaints about a dirty shower and outdoor furniture needing attention.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Windermere and Bowness, as well as the natural beauty and tranquillity of the setting. Guests are pleased with the easy access to local attractions.

Guests find the property to have a spacious and open living space with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. However, several guests reported the beds as being too hard, which affected their sleep quality.

The property offers a range of facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and powerful shower. Nonetheless, there are multiple reports of maintenance issues such as boiler problems, broken furniture, and lack of Wi-Fi, which impacted guests' experiences.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners towards the guests. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

    Contrary to reviews I had read we had no problem with the hot water /heating (new boiler been fitted).The bed was comfy slept well all week.There was a problem with the dishwasher we put it on on day 2 and all the power went out however the Parkdean staff were excellant and got the power back on (dont think its ideal plugging a dishwasher into sockets under the sink ).Apart from that we had a lovely stay and I would recommend it to family and friends the site has everything you need and its not far from Ambleside or Windermere. One more thing a non slip showermat was needed (I did buy one)

    The property could do with some tlc - e.g broken runners, doors swinging back open once closed too.

  • Steven

    Also there was what looked like the beginning of black mould over where the wash basket was kept.
