Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the property as spotless, tidy, and maintained to a high standard. Only one minor mention of a duvet mark was noted, but overall impressions are overwhelmingly positive.
The location is praised for its proximity to Windermere and Bowness, peaceful setting, and excellent views. Some guests found it slightly tricky to find or noted narrow roads, but most found it convenient for exploring the area.
Guests consistently mention the spaciousness, comfort, and homely feel of the property. A few minor issues were raised, such as a mattress that could be replaced and some difficulty with heating, but these did not detract significantly from overall comfort.
The apartment is described as well-equipped with modern kitchen amenities, washing machine, and good heating. Minor issues included a non-working DVD player and a desire for a smart TV, but facilities generally met or exceeded expectations.
Some guests noted the absence of a welcome pack or complimentary refreshments, which are not guaranteed. Information provided was detailed but could be clearer. The property offers practical amenities, but little in the way of extra thoughtful touches.

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.

Our second visit and we very much enjoyed our time in this superior, spacious accommodation. It is equipped to a high standard for every comfort and the location of the property is ideal for exploring the wonderful Lake District. The Lake and mountains view from the window is a delight. Thank you.

Cottages.com are not god at communicating important information regarding bookings. Trying to ring up and speak to somebody is difficult. I got an email from Cottages recently cancelling my booking but no explanation. Thanks to the caretaker I got to speak to the owner who clarified the situation and we got a mutual agreement. I have no complaints about the cottage which we have stayed in regularly for over 10 years and really enjoy our holidays there.
