Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers have not reported any issues with cleanliness, and one specifically mentions that the accommodation was spotless. This suggests that the property maintains high standards of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being within walking distance of Ulverston and its amenities, and for serving as a convenient base to explore the Lake District. One review implies that the property is not in the thick of the southern Lakes, which may slightly limit the score.
Guests have lauded the comfort of the property, mentioning comfortable beds and sofas, and a spacious environment. The secure patio for pets also adds to the comfort level experienced by visitors.
The facilities are described as fabulous and equipped to a high standard. One review suggests a desire for more crockery, which indicates a minor area for improvement, but overall, the facilities and maintenance are evidently exceptional.
While the reviews are positive and mention friendly staff and a welcoming environment, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category based on the available information.

Simon
A great location for driving into the Lakes. The grounds were perfect for sitting out and enjoying the scenery, as well as having our own seating area outside. Booths, M&S and Aldi just down the road to for essentials. This was a luxury apartment, from the quality of the furnishings to the towels and bed linen provided. The twin bedroom can be set up as a King if you request in advance. You will not be disappointed staying here!

We were there when the Dickensian festival was on which was fantastic although very busy. The apartment was ideally placed as we could walk to the village in minutes without the hassle of having to park. Well worth a visit.
