The location is perfect for short distance travels around the Lake District. Itâs also very quiet and secluded so our dog didnât hear one firework the whole week. The accommodation is simple clean and comfortable with all we needed for a perfect stay. Our only downside - the bed was a little soft for our liking. However, not enough to detract us from signing up for next year. :-)

But apart from that l was really happy with the facilities. The booking was really easy to arrange and l appreciated the contact emails l was sent as l am a solo traveller so that was helpful. I would certainly stay here again, itâs a perfect place to chill, relax and unwind.

It is in a great position. Good for Hawkshead and travelling around the area. Lots of walks and a lake on your doorstep. First time in Buttermere which is a lovely apartment for two people. Clean and cosy. Everything is catered for. The let down for us this time was that it stated there was a DVD player, but there was not. We brought some films to play of an evening but there was no player. Disappointing. But over all we had a great stay there. I am sure we will be returning in the future. Many Thanks for a great week.
