  • Gavin

    It was very new, very modern equipments and decoration. Spacious rooms and fully functioning. Fantastic location to explore the Windermere town and access the entire Lake District! It was a shame that we had to leave this lovely apartment in just 4 days. Small problem with the fire alarms, it is a bit too “Sensitive”.

  • Paul

    Apartment is high quality and well equipped. Our only suggestion would be to improve the TV availability as there is no terrestrial access, where it seems a cheap cost cutting measure to avoid a licence at odds with the overall quality of the apartment

  • Barry

    Ideally situated for all amenities. We are planning on returning next year.
