The cake and wine was a really lovely gesture on arrival and the apartment, though quite compact, was decorated beautifully and was really cozy. For ease of access to the centre of Bowness on Windermere, you couldn't get better. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you.

Very clean and perfectly located. A 3 minute walk into the centre with lovely shopâs,pubs and restaurants. Lovely walks from the doorstep too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Park view. Just a couple of things but they are definitely not negativesâ¦.the door opens straight onto a light coloured carpet and it was quite difficult trying to keep off the carpet while drying the dog and trying to remove muddy boots without stepping on the carpet. We were worried about getting it dirty but I think we did ok! We also couldnât find any instructions regarding rubbish or the WiFi password but we figured it out in the end. Despite that, we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend âºï¸

There was a thoughtful welcome pack that included wine, brownies, tea and coffee which was a pleasant surprise. The property was very clean and well equipped with everything you might need including DVDâs and for those that might prefer to cook rather than eat out the kitchen has everything. However theres so many great places we ate out, we had no reason to cook. The shower room is very cold, there is a blow heater but didnt really do much (it was winter) and the mattress was very firm for us. But the bed itself was good quality. We decided not to bring our dog which was probably for the best as the space is adequate but not really big enough for a dog. We thoroughly recommend this flat for a week at The Lakes and would book again!
