“This was our 5th stay at Romney 12 and of all the rentals at Romney Grange this one suits us best.”

In 11 years little has changed apart from some new glazing including the patio doors. The lock for the patio doors had seized when we arrived but Heart of the Lakes acted quickly to get a specialist fitter out when maintenance could not repair the problem. There is also a new TV with an excellent choice of programmes including some streaming. One small negative was the condition of some of the non stick saucepans and pans which is obviously down to a lack of care by some guests. All in ...

All in all, another fine holiday and we've already booked our next visit.

“We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Romney 12 ...”

We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Romney 12 The property was very well equipped but the description and details on the website was sparse The description missed out on details like a hair dryer and iron -We were told by Sykes that these were not available so we ended up bringing them along unnecessarily Also that there was a smart TV on the property should be highlighted as this was not on the description

- Venkatraman, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Romney 12. We have updated the details to now include hairdryer and iron for guests to use (these items were removed due to covid requirements from some properties) also added the Smart TV. Thank you once again and we hope to see you again in the near future, regards Heart of the Lakes team Property Owner

“Romney 12 is a beautiful apartment, and we had a great week there.”

We arrived mid January, and understand the apartment had been empty for 1 to 2 weeks. Storage heaters provide most of the heating, but the apartment was freezing cold and the storage heaters did not provide any warmth until the following day. The small electric heaters did not provide enough heat to make a difference. Please note, this is not a complaint, merely wondering if someone would be able to arrange sufficient heating for guests on arrival in very cold weather.

“We have been visiting Romney Grange for many years and think that no.”

12 is one of the best. We love the layout of the apartment and the patio area is a real delight. Our only regret is that the bath was replaced by a shower. There's nothing like a good soak following a long walk. In previous years we have not used the kitchen very much, but because of the pandemic we bought most of our food with us. This is probably the experience of many recent visitors The kitchen is very well equipped and works very well. The only draw back is the fridge freezer. It has been well used and needs to be defrosted, but I appreciate that with the tight turnover of bookings this is difficult to do, but I hope the owners might consider replacing it when they have the opportunity. Apart from this detail the apartment meets all our needs and we will return.

“A return visit to Romney 12.”

Great property, great location. Wonderful, and comfortable, base from which to explore the area.

“Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting”

“The accommodation was excellent, well equipped and conveniently located.”

If the weather was poor, staying in was not a problem as the apartment was so comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need, and we ate in a few times as getting a table in a restaurant was well nigh impossible. a second set of keys would have been useful as we didn't always all go out and come back together. Better instructions for how to top up the hot water would be helpful.

“The apartment was as described on the website, very clean and comfortable as well as being very well equipped.”

We were concerned about how hot the water temperature was. It comes very quickly and can catch you unawares - a potential hazard for children and older visitors. Hopefully it can be adjusted for future guests. Otherwise, it was a thoroughly enjoyable week in our second visit to Romney Grange.

Romney 12 is the best self catering we have had. We will be returning soon.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
