Our second stay at this lovely apartment and had another great time. Was surprised to find a Robin hopping around the apartment on arrival though!! Not sure how it got in but we managed to get it out!! Did make us laugh! Not a complaint but the toaster is a bit temperamental, still managed to burn on the recommended settings so be careful. Very comfortable place with amazing views and everything you need. Hope to come again in the future.

What an excellent gem of a place to stay. The views from every window are stunning. We packed everything from tin openers to tea towels and didn't need them as everything was included, in fact we didn't want for anything.The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are homely and spacious. The added bonus of a garage, especially in the winter time, saved a lot of scraping the windscreen, plus making the car secure.What a fabulous week's holiday we had. In fact we took my Mother-in-Law, who had never been to the Lake District, and she is making plans to return!Thank you so much for a thoroughly wonderful time. We will return.
