The apartment was beautiful, with lots of conveniences such as plentiful electrical sockets with USB ports, and a very effective top-of-the-range electric hob. We loved the fabulous TV room, and all the games in the grounds outside (table tennis, boules, etc.). A couple of small niggles: some food (butter) had been left behind by a previous occupant in one of the cupboards; the tops of the lower panels of the sash windows really need a clean; and it would be great to have some towel rails -- the small hooks in the bathrooms are too small to hang the beautiful large bath towels on.

It was comfortable and clean. Ten mins walk to the town where there are a good number of great pubs and restaurants. The games (indoor and outdoor) were great and the kids loved playing cricket, pool, golf etc. There was plenty to occupy ourselves with. Great walks nearby too. Highly recommend!

A great location for driving into the Lakes. The grounds were perfect for sitting out and enjoying the scenery, as well as having our own seating area outside. Booths, M&S and Aldi just down the road to for essentials. This was a luxury apartment, from the quality of the furnishings to the towels and bed linen provided. The twin bedroom can be set up as a King if you request in advance. You will not be disappointed staying here!
