Guests say
The Hollies in Windermere offers a well-equipped and modern apartment in a central location, ideal for exploring local shops and Lake Windermere. Guests appreciate the included amenities and the property's cleanliness, though some noted the bed and sofa could be more comfortable. The proximity to an Italian restaurant contributes to noise levels, which some guests found disruptive.
The property is generally described as clean and well-kept, with several guests noting its cleanliness. However, there are mentions of stained bedding and towels, and a stained mattress, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location is praised for being central and close to local amenities, making it brilliant for exploring the area. However, the noise from nearby establishments and the hustle and bustle of the town have been noted as drawbacks by some guests.
While the bed was found to be very comfortable by some, there are multiple complaints about the size of the bed and the comfort of the sofa, indicating that the comfort level could be enhanced.
Facilities are generally good, with guests satisfied with the amenities provided. However, there are comments about the lack of washing up liquid and the need to replace the sofa and mattress, suggesting that maintenance could be improved.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The apartment was nice and in a good location with everything on the doorstep. However wouldn't stay again due to the noise & loud music heard from the restaurant below till 11pm each night. And from 6.30am each day when they start setting up the tables and chairs dragging them across the floors. The bedding and towels had also seem better days. They were badly stained and didn't smell too clean.

A lovely apartment in a good central location; however, the noise from the Italian restaurant below was enough to put us off staying here again.
