  • Alan

    It is beautifully furnished, in a fabulous position and so very peaceful. The only two minor things were the lack of terrestrial tv, and no caffetiere. Would definitely stay again.

  • Lyndsey

    Right in the centre of Windermere with off road parking and really quiet as it’s off the main high street. The apartment is stylish, cosy and comfortable. We have stayed here 4 times now and will definitely be back again. You can catch a bus easily to visit Ambleside or Grassmere and Bowness is a lovely 20 minute stroll away. The perfect place for a stylish and relaxing break.

  • 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”.
