Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Macan to be clean and well-presented, with several positive remarks about its tidiness. However, a few reviews mentioned issues such as dog hairs, a grubby sofa, and a need for deeper cleaning in the kitchen, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views of Windermere and convenience for the ferry to Bowness. Guests appreciate the quiet setting and proximity to local walks, although some mention difficulties with parking due to ferry traffic. Overall, the location is considered excellent.
Guests describe the property as comfortable, with a cosy bed and well-set-out space. Some reviews suggest the need for additional seating and a non-slip mat in the bathroom for safety. The comfort of the property is generally well-regarded.
Facilities are generally appreciated, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and modern amenities. Some guests noted the need for more kitchen utensils and maintenance issues like a broken blind and worn can opener. Overall, the facilities meet guests' needs but could benefit from some updates.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the welcome hamper and other amenities provided, which guests frequently mention and appreciate. It should be noted that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Zoe
The property is in a great location with the back looking directly onto the lake. The ferry across the lake is perfectly located right outside the front. It was well equipped with everything we needed. There is work going on next to the building but that didnât cause too much noise. It made a great base after lots of walking. Wray castle is well worth a visit, as is Aira Force waterfalls. Weâve left a few walks in the folder for the next users but there are loads of walks in the area. Helvellyn also worth the effort! Only slight criticism for the property was no hand soap which I thought would be pretty standard. We bought some and have gifted it to the next visitors!

Lovely place but could have done with some extra seating ( weather wasnât very good ) and a shaving mirror over the sink would have been helpful
