Beds are so comfy, rooms are large and spacious. Views from living room windows are beautiful. We had such an amazing week here and looking forward to returning next year â¤ï¸

Itâs centrally located but also very quiet and only minutes from Derwent Water. The apartment is well kitted out, and incredibly comfortable for our family. We would love to return.

This time the apartment was just the same as last, beautifully clean and comfortable. Looking out over the hills with our evening cup of tea is magical to us. Only 5 minutes to the town centre and all amenities including both Fitz and Hope Parks. Plenty to do at Hope Park and beautiful gardens. Didn't see much of Angela this year that is because it wasn't necessary everything was perfect. Our favourite place to spend our holiday. Would love to go again but our age and health means we don't look to far ahead.
