This is a lovely well equipped apartment in a great location in the heart of the South Lakes, with wonderful walks straight from the door & well positioned for exploring further afield.

The appartment has everything you would need for an extended stay. It was so comfortable and well equipped. We adored the view from the lounge and main bedroom, overlooking the small tree-lined lake with ducks and birds in abundance. So peaceful and relaxing. We will be back!

Great location and large overall spaces. Some difficulties finding the property despite detailed instructions from property manager/owner. Would have preferred some initial supplies eg.tea bags and hand wash. Accoustics not great as noise from neighbours evident on one evening. Overall though value for money!

This property has everything you will need for your holiday. The area is so beautiful and the access to a shared pool is an added bonus. The hosts are helpful and responsive. The rooms are small and the bed is very comfortable. The duvet was perfect and warm. I agree with other reviews that the apartment is outdated and the shower could be improved (water pressure) but those items do impact the enjoyment of the space and the area. We visited from Ontario, Canada, so accessing the property by car was quite an adventure for us through winding, steep and narrow roads. I would say that was the biggest challenge for us. Overall, we were happy with our stay and wish we had a bit more time to explore everything the area had to offer.
