“We found it difficult to locate.”

The view of the property was hidden by 3 other parked cars when we arrived - belonging to the upstairs flat. This made entering and leaving the property fairly difficult, let alone having to get out onto the busy main road. Luckily, these people left on the Sunday and we were able to turn around on the premises before heading out.

The view of the property was hidden by 3 other parked cars when we arrived - belonging to the upstairs flat. This made entering and leaving the property fairly difficult, let alone having to get out onto the busy main road. Luckily, these people left on the Sunday and we were able to turn around on the premises before heading out. We think it would be useful to give a picture of the property as seen from the road on the joining instructions plus mentioning that it is directly before a large road sign if coming from Windermere or, just behind if coming from Keswick. The latter would only show the back of the sign. Other than that, the dishwasher was broken. This was mended quite quickly but no note was left to say that it had been done so we continued to wash up by hand - until the last day! Maybe advise the tenants when a job has been completed? Other than that, we loved the flat. Home from home.

“This is a beautiful property, comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated with many artistic touches.”

Roadside location was a concern before booking but a previous reviewer indicated it was quiet inside which it truly was. Warm and cosy in the cooler October weather.

“Lovely property with bedroom, lounge and bathroom recently updated, but kitchen looking a bit shabby.”

The terrace needs a real tidy up and weeding. If we’d been in more with bad weather I’d have done some. Very very strong detergent smell lingering on all the bedding- we’ve booked to go again and will take our own! Excellent location for the buses. Main road location but very quiet inside. Front door extremely squeaky.
