Snaptrip says
Cumbria Court in Windermere is highly praised for its prime location, comfort, and secure parking. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to local amenities and its suitability as a base for exploring the Lake District. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Cumbria Court clean and comfortable, with only a few mentioning areas where dust and maintenance affected the cleanliness. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The location is consistently lauded for being central, quiet, and convenient for exploring Windermere and the surrounding Lake District, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and transport links.
Guests find the apartment very comfortable, with several noting the property felt like a home away from home. Some concerns were raised about the size of the second bedroom and the comfort of the beds.
The property is well-equipped for most needs, though some guests mentioned missing items or maintenance issues like a non-matching TV remote, lack of an ironing board, and a locked dryer room. The secure parking is a notable plus, despite one incident of the space being occupied.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

It is in a great spot, easy for the bus station and close enough to shops and restaurants. We always leave the car and travel by bus everywhere, the car park at the rear of the property is a bonus. We will use this property until we can't manage the stairs anymore.

Comfortable and good location with parking. We were expected to accommodate the painters to paint the front door and if we werenât in they would use their master key. This in my mind is not acceptable. The notice for this was given in an email which being on holiday I donât check every day, so I could have come back in later in the day to find a stranger at the door and the door open. Uncharacteristically I checked my emails on Monday, therefore with the possibility of painters arriving had to forfeit lazy mornings as didnât want to be in nightwear when they turned up. Also had to accommodate the roofers. If maintenance is due on the property either inform me beforehand so I can choose whether to rent or donât let the property that week. Thoroughly unacceptable.
