About this property
This spectacular Windermere self-catering apartment, arranged over three levels, is something really special - sleek, sophisticated, stylish and central! Windermere Loft is presented in contemporary blends of black and white, wood and cream, but the romantic accommodation also retains traditional charm with cosy wood burning stove and distinctive vaulted ceilings. One or two couples will relax in comfort, with plenty of breathing space, living areas designed for socialising (including a furnished balcony) plus two superb luxury bathrooms. The central location of this property brings all the delights of Windermere village to your doorstep; this holiday couldn't be any more stylish, or any more easy!
Unload your luggage then park close by. Entrance hall leads up a flight of stairs to the first floor, and the gorgeous lounge with deep-cushioned sofas and woodburning stove. Glossy designer kitchen is well-equipped and features a modern central island for casual dining or early evening drinks. French doors lead to the small furnished balcony (a spiral staircase also leads from the balcony to the rear of the property). First floor: State-of-the-art wet room with power shower. Top floor: Two stunning king-size double bedrooms, both with feature vaulted ceilings, one with en-suite wet room and one with far-reaching Lake District fell views.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

However, quite a few niggles: Twin beds not super king as requested No reply to my two phone calls whether there was an iron/board No welcome/info book Lack of crockery - incomplete sets, dirty glass and dirty mug (also chipped) 1 deep cereal bowl not 4 Freezer compartment in Fridge needs defrosting and food left in there Slatted window in front bedroom - wind howling through/noisy and very draughty Poor state of plaster work below this window Broken blind Crack in window pane in back bedroom Toilet roll holder falls off in ensuite Water stain above shower No anti slip mat for shower/bath Small TV with dodgy remote in living room. This apartment could be 10/10 with a little TLC.

First time, two years ago, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The second time, it wasnât the same. The toilets were not clean - under the toilet seats and around the toilet were definitely not cleaned for a few days at least and we had to thoroughly clean it ourself before using. There was dust in pretty much most of the corners of the room and on top of furniture and cabinets. We were also provided 3 pieces of logs, for 3 nights of stay. There was no kindling left either. We bought more the next day and even left behind half a bag of fire wood of our own. We were provided with a welcome pack (bread, milk, etc) the first time we stayed and we expected that this time too but we didnât have that. The water pressure was really bad (no water at all) in the upstairs en suite when someoneâs using the kitchen or flush the toilet downstairs. The kitchen floors were sticky and some of the utensils were not washed properly. As much as we enjoyed the property the first time and wanted to return, we would not stay here again. The area and town surrounding is lovely though.
