Location and Facilities
Apartment located in lovely location and pleasant pool facilities on site, site nice and quiet too. Apartment ok but quite dated and in need of redecoration, new curtains etc. Cleaning was ok but kitchen cupboards and lounge could have been cleaner behind TV by patio doors was filthy as was the skirtings in kitchen. There were so many pots etc in the kitchen cupboards there was no where to put any food and a couple smelt a bit off. We also had an issue with the heating which wasn't available when we arrived and we did need it as the property was cold and we were travelling with elderly parents. As it was storage heaters we couldn't control them apart from the lounge so ended up putting fan heater on in bathroom and leaving door open which wasn't ideal. The storage heaters then kicked in after 36 hours but weren't very controllable. Weather wasn't too bad for our stay so we were able to get out and about and the apartment was in a good location.

Great place to stay
This was a very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a great location. The owners communicated in a helpful and friendly way. With a little redecoration and upgrade of the shower it would be 5 stars.

Super stay again
Lovely clean, cosy property in an excellent location. Site was quieter than on previous visits which allowed us to get time in the small pool. Accommodation had everything needed (except a pan suitable for making pancakes!); dishwasher and small washing machine a bonus. Communication with the owners smooth and cordial. Check-in easy. Beware of the steps up to the front door - they can be slippery in wet weather.

Great flat & location
The flat is in the perfect location for exploring the area. Very easy check in and the in-door pool was perfect for the kids. Perfect size for our family with two kids under 2. The local walk up hill has great views.

A cosy flat in a great location
This flat is well situated for walking, with no need for a car to get to great walks. The host left very good instructions, the flat is warm and clean and has everything you need for enjoying a rest after a long walk! It has good views of trees, with some mountain peeping through. It is peaceful and quiet.

Amazing Lakes Experience
Great location to experience the Lake District. Walks from the front door or only a short drive away providing views and immersion into all the Lakes has to offer. A lovely location to stay in that was quiet, well appointed and perfect for what we needed. Could stroll to a pub for dinner (good choices and quality), were removed from the towns so got the getaway needed however it was easy to get to all services and locations needed for activities, food, supplies etc. Feel lucky we got to use this space to enjoy this beautiful part of the world. Thank you

Lovely stay in the Lakes
We had a great stay! Very cosy apartment,like being in a tree house with a very pretty outlook. Well stocked kitchen which was much appreciated, comfy beds too. Good space for our family of 4. Fab location, 5 mins to Ambleside and similar to Grasmere. Great walks close by. Kids toys and books were appreciated. We loved our time here and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic quiet Lakeland stay
Brilliant little property right in the heart of the Lakes, just off the A593 at Skelwith Bridge so very well located as a base to explore. On a quiet little estate of lodges and apartments, there's even a swimming pool (although we didn't use it, good to know it's there!) Very clean property and comfortable beds. Alas the weather didn't permit us to use the balcony but I'm sure it's fantastic when it's dryer, it has a great view overlooking a little pond. Sue and Paul were very proactive and informative with their information, and check in and check out were very smooth indeed! The only thing that I will say is that the parking spot can be a little tight depending on how well the cars in the neighbouring spots park so be aware if you have a large car

Wonderful property, but pool was non functional over weekend
The pool was non functional over the weekend. The swimming pool was one of the biggest reasons why we booked this property as that would have kept a 4 year old engaged. The property manager had communicated a couple of days ago that the pool was non functional but will be repaired over the weekend (which didn't happen). We could have rescheduled our visit to another weekend. We paid full price for the property but didn't get full facilities. Overall property was good and the stay was a reasonably pleasant stay. Value for money was not great, without a functional pool.

Short Break in the Lakes.
Although the property is well equipped, we encountered a few issues. Bed was comfortable but Bedding needs updating. Oven needs cleaning inside and oven trays need replacing. Had to cover with foil to be used . Pizza slicer rusty as well as the dish rack/drainer. Could not use the toaster for breakfast as not clean inside.
