A bit disappointed but the location is great

Location was great

Ventilation isn’t great. Couldn’t open the windows so cooking was not really possible as the fire alarm kept going off. There was a stench coming from the pipes in the sink that left a very unpleasant smell throughout the apartment. Had to buy room sprays & diffusers Arrived and there was no linen nor toilet paper

Perfect stay, would definitely like to come back again

Location and the legacy

The shower in bathroom, a sliding door can improve the standing shower experience

A perfect base for a trip away to the lakes!

We had a fantastic New Year’s Eve stay at The Governance Apartments with friends. The apartment was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect break. The location is ideal - close to everything but still peaceful. The property team were incredibly helpful and friendly from start to finish, which really made the stay even better. We had such a great time that we’ll definitely be returning next year. Highly recommend!

There were no mirrors in the rooms and the bed in the second bedroom was extremely creaky/wobbly - but this didn't detract from our stay!

Fantastic stay. Perfect location, quiet and convenient. The staff were friendly and the room was very clean. Would happi

We enjoyed our stay so much. Great room, great service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended

Everything was great, but I wanted to mention few of the door knobs. It’s positioned quite close to the door jamb, which makes it easy for your hand to get caught when closing the door

Fabulous property in the heart of the city.

The location, size and decor of the apartment were very good. Parking is a bonus. You are in the city centre but still exclusively away from the noise and the hustle.

A hair dryer and a coffee table were missing. The heating could be better.

This was a great base for a weekend away, everything you could need and perfect location

The apartment was great, well equipped and in a brilliant location, onsite parking was a massive bonus during half term when it was busy. We met the hosts in the morning who were only to happy to share some local knowledge with us, we will definitely use this property again couldn't fault it.

Absolutely nothing!!!

9.0 / 10.0

Spacious, luxurious, super location and a great price

The apartment was huge, clean, beautifully decorated, fantastic location (a 7 minute drive from Brockehole Visitors Centre and the lake.) Huge TV in every room. The layout was really well thought out. Our 9 year old loved having her own bathroom and loved the hidden toilet inside the kitchen cupboard.. I guess it was like Narnia to her 😂. And for the great price we paid it was so much better than staying in a smaller hotel room that we would normally book. We all really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again in the future with this company.

They could do with fixing a bit of the flooring where the pink bathroom entrance and the hallway meet. There is a little lip/point where the tiles and flooring meet it’s just a bit sharp. We just put a towel/mat over it and it didn’t ruin our stay at all and would return.

Pretty average, although a week of poor weather didn’t help much.

Location very good, close to village shops, etc. Comfy bed. Quiet.

No TV access for first 2-3 days. Bathroom too small, not enough towel rails, shelves. Crazy sensor light system around the mirror.

Codes for doors sent ahead of time. Property manager available for calls / WhatsApp and very responsive.

Great apartment, very well located

Great apartment, clean and tidy with all facilities available for a comfortable stay.

Minor attention needed - Needs attention to the toilet flush that seems to be very noisy even when not in use. Kitchen cooking units are bit worn, need replacement. All very minor aspects. Overall a great and well managed place to relax.

It was short , I need to go back , but lovely

Decorated very nicely, my favourite I visited for decoration. Love the building. Great management

A small hiccup, fixed as fast as possible, Chris was fantastic, appreciating his fast action and kindness . I absolutely would return here

Very disappointed

Basement bedrooms felt cold and damp No mention that bedrooms were at basement level when booking Lack of instructions for heating & TV. Broken door and window handles No water supply at all on second night

Excellent location, nice apartment, but could be improved.

Very large apartment. Excellent quiet location. Very well decorated, in keeping with the history of the building. Good communication before hand.

On the whole, we had a great 4 nights, but there were a few things we felt needed addressing - We appreciate that it's an old building, but there was only 1 of the sash windows that opened in the living area. The only way to open this( as it was very hot) was to climb on the kitchen units! There was no blind on this large kitchen window. It needed a plug near a mirror, so I could see when drying my hair. There was nowhere to plug the fan in the bedroom, again because of lack of plugs. The bedside lamp didn't work. There was a smell in the bathroom in the sink, and the water in the shower didn't drain away. There was a lot of dust in the bathroom and bedroom( appreciate the dark colour showed it up), under bed, in the drawers, and found someone's socks next to the drawers. Would have liked a long mirror. This does sound a lot, but if all these small issues were addressed( noticed a couple of them were pointed out previously), this apartment would be exceptional.

Ditch the focus on style over substance and respond to guests reviews

Fabulous location nestled in the village and beautiful old house. Great free parking space. Stylish decor and comfortable beds. Loved the stained glass window in the bathroom and automatic lighting.

No microwave or freezer section in fridge. No wine glasses. No dressing mirror other than in bathroom. Bathroom impractical as no ventilation and the door handle is lethal. As was the lifted section of flooring in the hall! Hate the political theme - noone wants to look at huge Trump poster or be anywhere near Thatcher memorabilia!

7.0 / 10.0

Great, but lacking a few essentials

The apartment is beautifully decorated, had comfortable beds and plenty of space, in a great location.

There wasn't good ventilation in the bathrooms which made the bedrooms feel a bit damp. As the kitchen did not have a dishwasher there was a lack of kitchen cleaning items, dishcloths, kitchen roll, extra tea-towels, anti-bac spray would have been useful, there was no oven glove and was missing other utensils you would expect - pizza cutter, mixing bowl, scissors etc. As this is a luxury apartment a coffee machine would be a nice addition, as opposed to half a jar of coffee granules well as better quality towels.

Great place, ideal for most groups 🙂

Great location, plenty of little cafes, shops and pubs within a few minutes walk!

Not something we hated but we’d definitely recommend taking a fan if you’re there for a summer stay as it got very hot, if you’re scared of spiders it might not be your cup of tea as there we saw quite a few and a lot of cobwebs. If you stay in the 3 bed Lords and you’re more than around 5ft 6 you need to mind your head that’s just due to the sloped ceilings and beams. Lords also isn’t ideal if you perhaps have mobility issues due to the number of steps around the place and narrow hallway, not a reflection on the company at all it’s just the building.

Go for it! It’s a great choice!

Location was great! The building is one of those old manor type buildings but apartments are modern and very well furnished. Host Eric was available all the time via phone. We really liked the apartment and the location (walking distance 5 mins to city centre)

Honestly everything was really nice! It’s an old building so there is no lift but it’s understandable. I would really like if the host could also add wine glasses and some salt/pepper in the kitchen. Rest was great!

Beautiful apartment in a gorgeous old building near Windermere center

The apartment is in a beautiful, old renovated building. You do have to climb three flights of stairs. The inside is spotless and very minimalist. The proper safety equipment is visible. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the shower was delightful. It is located very close to the main drag in Windermere. The hosts do a great job communicating. The heat was individualized for each room and there were TVs in each room along with an Alexa in the living area. Watch your head as there are low ceilings and beams! I would highly recommend this apartment.

If you plan to eat there, the kitchen is decently equipped, but there’s no microwave, spices or paper towels and no kitchen table. Not a big deal for us. Otherwise everything was perfect.
