Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment to be clean and well-maintained, though there was a notable complaint about cleanliness, including cobwebs and leftover possessions from previous occupants. This suggests room for improvement, but the majority of feedback is positive.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and easy access to local amenities and attractions. The proximity to the village and transport links like the train station is also appreciated.
Guests find the apartment comfortable, with special mentions of the quality bedding and homely atmosphere. However, some guests noted issues with noise from the upstairs apartment and suggested that the sofas could be more comfortable.
The apartment is described as well-equipped and guests are generally satisfied with the facilities provided. There are some grievances regarding Wi-Fi connectivity, a cracked windowpane, and a non-functional radio, indicating that some maintenance is required.
While some guests missed a welcome pack and suggested it would add to the experience, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The setting is beautiful and the apartment lived up to expectations. We had everything we needed including comfortable beds and a lovely view! As bird lovers we were pleased to watch the resident sparrowhawk patrol her territory, and we even picked up a kingfisher on our birdsong app (sadly didnât see it). Having planned to drive, we ended up taking the train at short notice and were pleasantly surprised by how much we were still able to do. The station is 10 minutes walk and the service was remarkably efficient. Supermarket and takeaway deliveries were easy to arrange which helped! A very pleasant week altogether, I would certainly recommend the area and the apartment.

The apartment was spectacular with stunning views across the northern Pennines. Everything we could need was provided for to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as ever. It is a great 'base' to explore near and far as well as being on the edge of Wetheral - a quintessentially English village with a wonderful little shop/post office and coffee shop. We can't wait to visit again - our week at Geltsdale flew by all too quickly.

These factors made our stay here easy, fuss free and like a home away from home - thank you! We canât wait to come backâ¦hopefully later in 2023.
