  Really nice place to stay.

  Right in the centre of everything from walking / driving distance. The apartment was clean and tidy upon arrival and instructions how to collect the keys from the apartment prior to arrival was very clear. The apartment has the basic things you need for your stay. To access the apartment you need to go up around 30 steps so if you have walking difficulty’s or mobility issues I would check this prior to booking. Salt , pepper , oil , hand soap , washing up liquid , cloths , tea towels and limited dishwasher tablets was also provided what we was unaware off. Also a welcome box with tea bags / coffee / biscuits / sugar / milk sticks was in the apartment kitchen , this was a unexpected nice touch. The allocated parking spot was available the whole time we arrived although upon check out there was a car blocking us in behind our car , but lucky we could get out from a tight squeeze down the other parking space next to it as there was not a car there. If there was we would have not been able to get out. The night before the same car was also blocking us in but by time we went out late afternoon it was gone so had no issue getting out. The only thing I would say and it has been mentioned on another review is maybe a welcome pack , as we was not sure where to put the rubbish and instructions on the Wi-Fi code and maybe how to use the hive and what to do with used towels / if we was required to strip the bedding etc. Overall though it was a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Windermere Crescent , brilliant for small family’s or a couple.

  The property's location was perfect for me and also dog friendly too.

  So peaceful (silence and no light poution), beautiful views, and not too far from a couple of pubs and the village of Hawkshead. The field adjoining the property was perfect to let my dog Minnie, have a safe run around. I stopped in the Coniston accommodation which was perfect for me, very clean and very comfortable. I had previously read reviews that highlighted that you could hear some noise from the flat above but i accepted that risk when I booked. My lived experience was that during the first 4 days (of my 6 day stay) I heard very little. My last 2 nights was slightly more challenging though. Dont get me wrong, I didn't feel like I had part of the Riverdance dance troop staying above me but the level of noise did increase. Im not sure what the owners can do, other than let the flat above be very aware that not wearing clogs would be more than appreciated by those downstairs. I would advise that if you are easily irritated by any noise from above, then the Coniston isnt for you. I will be going back for sure.

  I will give the good feedback first.

  The property is very clean, renovated very well and the host was very welcoming even letting us in early. It is also very close to the lake, less then a 10 minute walk. The disappointing points is altho it stated there was a garden this is shared with the host family and is not fenced off, so wasn't able to leave the door open for air due to having my dog with me. There are no windows in the property so your only option is to leave the door open, which if you have your dog with you is not possible. The other disappointing thing is you are woken very early hours to banging from upstairs, so not the romantic hiking trip we had planned. The hot water runs out very quickly, resulting in an old fashioned strip wash out of the sink. It was also very cold. The guide left in the flat stated you can adjust the temperature by turning the radiators, but no heating came on. Luckily there are extra blankets in the property. I would definitely go back to the lakes but unfortunately would book a different property next time.

  Stunning location.

  The accommodation is not luxurious but it is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The garden is great for dogs and children but although there have obviously been tubs for bedding plants in the past these were no longer in use. It did look a little lacking in TLC as a result. My husband has limited mobility and although Coniston is not specifically adapted for disabled people he was able to manoeuvre his walker around inside with no problem and use the shower with the suction grab handles that we brought with us. The only issues that we had were a) not enough toilet paper - there is an "allowance" of 2 rolls so if you think that you are going to use more then bring some with you! b) We had very heavy winter weight duvets, we asked if they had any summer ones but they did not but we were supplied with an extra sheet to use with the bedspread. If we continue to get such hot summers then this is maybe something the managers of the accommodation would like to consider. We will certainly return

  One star for a comfortable bed.

  En suite was good but no shelves for toiletries. Compliments end there. We found the place was not as clean as we would have expected. Various issues. We raised this with the owner who was in Italy. She went straight into a defensive mode saying to us that she knows our "type". We decided to contact Sykes to register the issues. Nothing happened over the weekend so we phoned Sykes for an update. At 6pm on the Monday Sykes phoned and told us to leave the premises immediately, quoting abusive and threatening behaviour to the owner even though we had never laid eyes on them. Sykes then realised this was a false allegation and phoned us to say we could stay. We said that this was unacceptable and would leave in the morning. As we left I took a video of the premises as to how we left it. Then as expected we were accused of wilful damage. Another allegation that was dropped by the owner. Our holiday was cut short and ruined all because we complained about some cleanliness issues.
