Hillside is a nice apartment, great location. It is clean and had everything we needed. However, we did have problems getting into the property, the code for the key safe was incorrect. Tried to contact the owner, eventually had to call cottages.com. They could tell us the code had been changed! The owner took an hour to return our call. Not sure who was to blame for this error, but it was not a good start.The other problem we had was the heating is pre set, but didn't come on at all on our last day, so we were cold. Tried several times to over ride it and get some heat but that was impossible. Fortunately, it was our last day.Overall, we enjoyed our week in this apartment, but would not return. There are so many similar apartments in Quarry Rigg we have stayed in, and had no complaints!

The apartment was perfect for me and my daughter to enjoy a 4 night stay in the Lake District. Although our plans to enjoy some walking every day were thwarted by storm Amy, we still found plenty to see and enjoy. The apartment was perfectly situated in the centre of town where there was a great selection of restaurants and cafes for eating out. There was also the added bonus of secure parking. The apartment itself was beautifully clean and very well appointed, and had everything we needed for our stay.

Parking was challenging. Although there was some space behind the accommodation, it was available on a first-come, first-served basis.
