Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has received mixed reviews. While some guests found the apartment to be clean and up to standard, others reported issues with floors, appliances, and the presence of pet odours. The management's response to cleanliness concerns appears to be inconsistent.
The location of the property is highly praised, with guests loving its central position in Keswick, easy access to the town, and the delightful views of the river and park. The convenience of having a parking space is also frequently mentioned.
Comfort has been generally well-received, with guests finding the property warm and well-appointed. However, there have been comments about uncomfortable settees and issues with a cold bedroom, which slightly detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities and maintenance have been noted as areas for improvement. Guests have reported broken appliances, issues with hot water, and a lack of cleaning supplies. Despite these issues, the modern kitchen and the quality of the appliances are appreciated when in good working order.
The property has shown thoughtfulness through welcome gifts such as cakes and prosecco, which guests have enjoyed. However, it is important to note that such gestures are complimentary and may not be a consistent offering for all stays.
