The living room has a sunny aspect with large picture window where the ever changing scenery can be watched from the comfort of the sofa, whatever the weather. The kitchen offers everything you require should you want to cook and has a picture mirror reflecting the outside view into the kitchen area.

The Waterhead Pier to catch a boat on Lake Windermere is less than a mile away, with local parks providing a place to gather or rest or as a starting point for countless walks close by to the lakeside. Not often do you find a property with such quality facilities, a large communal garden with a designated BBQ area, spectacular scenery and off road parking so close to the centre of the village.

Excellent apartment in a quite location but still close town. The view from the living room is fabulous and makes the stairs worth the effort! It was clean and had everything we needed.

The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into the practical needs of guests. Eg sharp knives that actually cut, ample labels and instructions. A real feature is the fantastic view from the lounge window. With this in mind it is a shame the (outside of the) window had not been recently cleaned but no doubt it will be soon. I mention it here only because I have not been invited to make a report directly to the owners.
