Guests say
Guests generally enjoyed their stay at Pennine View, appreciating the helpful staff and the warm, comfortable apartment. The leisure facilities, including a pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi, were highlights, particularly after long walks. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but these did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
The apartment was described as very clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. However, there was a mention of a smelly bin, which suggests a slight deduction in the cleanliness score.
There is no specific information provided about the location in relation to attractions or convenience, hence a score cannot be accurately given.
The bed was noted to be really comfortable and the apartment warm, contributing to a good night's sleep. However, a small quilt and some wear and tear on furnishings suggest a slight reduction from a perfect comfort score.
The leisure facilities were highly praised, but issues such as a long-term out-of-action lift, parking arrangements, and a temporary pool closure due to a leak indicate some room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness from the reviews provided.

The apartment was lovely x just what we expected. The only downfall was that the pool was closed for 5 days due to a leak, x the reason that I book here was for the on-site pool for us x our grandson, so disappointed to say the least.

The lamp shade looked a bit battered. It would be good to have some more mugs of a larger size, and some chopping knives, the only knife was a bread knife. The metal rubbish in was also a bit battered and didnât open properly and smelt bad before we put any rubbish in it. The quilt seemed too small for the cover. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well. The flat was lovely and warm too. The pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi were lovely and it was so nice to use them after a long walk on the fells. We would go back as we had a nice time.
