Lovely spacious clean apartment with a fabulous view of Windermere and the fells. A 10 - 15 minute walk into the centre of Windermere. Only real issue is no outside space but as we were there for four nights and the weather wasn't the best not a huge miss this time.

A pleasant apartment with a lovely view of the lake from the lounge window. It is situated in a quiet area on the edge of town, which is easily reached on foot, if a walk is fancied! We had trouble opening the windows in the lounge and during the high temperatures last week some air was needed. There is an obvious musty smell emanating from the settee at times, which isn't nice. Otherwise an ok place to stay.
