Guests say
Cloverley offers a spacious and cosy base in Windermere, with excellent views and a prime location close to the town centre and local walks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living area, as well as the convenient parking. While the property is dated and could benefit from some refurbishment and deeper cleaning, many found it good value for money. Some guests noted issues with the beds and shower, but overall, the property provides a pleasant stay for those seeking a practical and scenic holiday spot.
Several guests found the property clean on arrival, but others mentioned musty smells, dated decor, and areas needing a more thorough clean, such as crockery and carpets. The overall impression is mixed, with cleanliness being adequate but not outstanding.
The location is highly praised, with guests enjoying proximity to the centre, shops, marina, and local walks. The hill leading to the property is noted as steep but manageable for most, and the views are frequently highlighted as a major positive.
The living area is described as comfortable and cosy, but the beds, particularly the master mattress, are repeatedly mentioned as being too firm or uncomfortable. The property is also noted as cold by some guests, affecting overall comfort.
The kitchen is well-equipped and the living area spacious, but the property is dated and some maintenance issues are noted, especially with the shower door and lack of modern appliances like a dishwasher or washing machine. Instructions for appliances are generally clear.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

It is a lovely place with lots of potential, but it needs better cleaning and lots of TLC. Anyway, we loved the location and even though it was uphill, it was away from the noise and view was great.

We visited Cloverley with some hesitation after seeing so many poor reviews, however we had a lovely week. The flat is really spacious and the views in the winter across Lake Windermere were fantastic. Some areas of the flat are dated however these can be clearly seen by the photos on the website (kitchen and bedrooms predominately), so we were prepared for that. Additionally if it were modernised i'm sure the cost would go up a lot. At the moment it offers good value for money. The beds have very firm mattresses. This did not bother us at all and we all slept well. The shower appeared to have a temporary fix to stop the showerhead sliding down the rail however we all had fantastic hot and powerful showers. There were also no issues with the shower door. The flat was also clean upon arrival (and warm). We found the living room to be very cosy (yet spacious) and I spent a lot of time admiring the view to the lake.Location-wise it was fantastic. Parking for 2 cars was great. It is situated up a steep hill in the centre of Bowness. In my opinion anyone of normal fitness could manage this walk. It only took 5-10 minutes and comprised a steep section followed by a flatter section and then another steep section. Just up the road are some nice walks. The view from Brant Fell was amazing and you can leave the car at the flat.
