Excellent well equipped property in a great location walking distance to the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway, local pub and Whitewater Hotel and Leisure Centre.Whilst it didn't affect us, the bedroom is very compact in size (a bit like being in a mobile home) so very tight access around the bed.

A small but well put together 1 bedroom flat located on the second floor over looking the river. Easy to check in (box code) located at parking space size ok for normal cars but a bit snug for my pick up. a short walk to the motor museum and to the Haverthwaite & Lakes steam train whilst other venues could be reached by the No 6 bus to Kendal, Grange over Sands and Windermere. The bedroom had a double bed which was very comfortable and neighbours quiet. Excellent holiday
