Susan
On entry it was very warm and we had to turn down the radiator thermostat as we like our house at around 18 to 19 celcius. The whole house had a welcome feeling, the kitchen fairly well equipped , comfortable furniture and bed and hot water in the showers. I am disabled and cannot walk far, but I managed the stairs in the house without any problems. The shops (Co-op & Sainsbury's) are a minute walk for the rest of the family, it took me 3 minutes. The restaurants are the same distance. We had 3 meals out in Windermere. Cafe Italia , Tapas ( across the street from Cafe Italia) and Francine. All good but Francine was Spectacular and though a bit on the pricey side, the food is very good and would cost at least 15 percent more in the south. We would book again if we are back in the area.

The property was clean, fresh and possibly recently renovated. Central heating, hot water, bathroom, ensuite, and white goods all worked faultlessly. Location was excellent - 50 yards to the local Co-Op and the high street. Even a welcome box of shortbread biscuits which were devoured with a nice cuppa on arrival after our long journey from London! Thanks, Sarah.

Large private car parking space at the rear. Large well equipped kitchen with dining room. Two bathrooms with plenty of hot water. WiFi is fast and reliable always. Excellent communication from the owner about the property. We had a fantastic week there.
