Lovely spacious apartment. Great sized kitchen, lounge and bedrooms. The location is really great in centre of town.The only thing not so keen is the layout of the bathrooms in the apartment. One is down on basement floor and the other near door and kitchen. Be nice near both bedrooms. The bottom bathroom had a leak. But, other than that this was a great apartment. We really enjoyed our stay thank you

This is a good property situated near the centre of Bowness and within a short walk of shops and lake. It has a roomy and generally well-equipped kitchen with lots of equipment, crockery, and even 2 fridges. The lounge is also roomy and comfortable. We thought the place to be very clean. Minor niggles, some of which are mentioned by other guests, include the very tight parking, noises from the room above, the lack of small cooking pans, and the underfloor heating in the downstairs bathroom which we couldn't find how to control. The lake is not visible from the interior of the property. Despite the minor shortcomings, I would recommend this property as a pleasant and good value stay.
