We thought there should have been window blinds in the lounge area. But overall it was a very comfortable and well situated property.

2nd time of using. Perfect location so close to Windermere but quiet. Inside clean, well presented and well equipped. If i had one comment to make, the outside is a little scruffy due to the lower apartment looking empty. If Raffley's had an outside area or balcony to relax / chill it would be perfect.

The appartment is absolutely lovely, was very clean and has everything you need. The bed was so comfortable, the appartment is very large but the lounge is so cozy with comfortable sofas, you can just relax and chill We really enjoyed our week and would highly recommend. We will definitely return.
