Snaptrip says
Upper Oaks is a well-located property in Windermere, appreciated for its proximity to local amenities and the Lake District's attractions. Guests have praised the modern interior and the property's potential as a comfortable base for exploring the area. However, there are concerns regarding cleanliness and maintenance that need addressing.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Several guests reported issues with cleanliness, including dust, unvacuumed carpets, and grime in crevices. These recurring comments suggest a need for more thorough cleaning and attention to detail.
The property's location is highly praised for its convenience, quietness, and accessibility to shops, restaurants, and local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Windermere and the Lake District.
Mixed feedback was given on comfort. While some guests found the beds comfortable, others reported issues with mattresses and bed frames, indicating that some of the sleeping arrangements may require improvement.
The property is generally seen as well-appointed, but several guests noted the absence of a dishwasher and issues with the TV and WiFi. Maintenance concerns, such as broken bathroom fixtures, were also mentioned.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately determined.

Negatives: Should have made us aware about the recent leak in the property. Property was not clean with a lot of underlying dirt/grime. Found hairs in bedding. TV did not work. Bathroom sink was broken.

Requested that dishes were washed before we leave, but no dishwashing liquid was provided. 2 toilet rolls for 6 people was a bit too little
