Liked:-Right in the heart of Bowness and close to everything local.-Reasonably sized apartment given the location.-Furnished with the essentials and comfortable enough.Disliked:-Poor heating in March. Everything is on a timer/schedule and didn’t warm up when needed.-Parking is communal and really needs to be made clear on the listing. It was a lottery throughout the 7-day stay.-WiFi was completely unusable, as was the broadband. It’s not a secret that mobile service can be patchy in the Lakes, so having reliable broadband and WiFi is not an unreasonable expectation.-Electric shower frequently tripped.We wouldn’t rush to return.
