“We had a lovely week staying at Easter in the Windermere Suite.”
Second time in this building, first in this apartment and it didn’t disappoint! The apartment is comfortable, clean and very well appointed. Lovely big kitchen for family meals and a cosy living room with beautiful views across to the lake and Ambleside/Wansfell. The grounds are great, even with storm damage causing some tree felling-this made for fun clambering for small children! Lovely to see the tennis court area being repaired too, although weather not as great for playing as last year. Hikes and running from the door, first class viewing of the Loughrigg Fell Race. Lovely situation for being close to Ambleside but quiet and out of the way of the crowds. We hiked locally over Loughrigg, Lingwood Fell, Coniston and the Elterwater round. Got kayaking on Windermere when the weather wasn’t good for high hiking. Runs round Rydal/Grasmere and to Hawkshead and back. Fab cake at Troutbeck Post Office. We even visited the new Pure Lakes workshop! If we had to give ideas for improvement for the apartment, maybe a solution for hanging wet waterproofs as there’s not much space in the hall cupboard. What about a coat stand on the landing outside? We also found there weren’t enough small water glasses and we also managed to crack one taking it out of the cupboard (sorry!), so we bought another set of four. The underfloor heating in the main bathroom was fabulous-it didn’t work in the twin en-suite however-could this be looked into perhaps? Lastly-arriving to see a deer casually eating grass right under the bedroom window was amazing! Thanks for a lovely week, we’ll be back again.
