“The duplex apartment was fabulous, very comfortable, spacious and much better equipped than Sykes’ description stated, eg oven gloves,tea towel, kitchen roll, detergent, tea, coffee, etc.”
With 4 of everything not really enough to be able to wait to fill dishwasher but that didn’t bother us, we wash up as we go.
Found the bed comfortable but small (standard double). The duvet was too small for the bed, we found a larger one in the cupboard and swapped it, possible just a housekeeping error.
The appartment. was very warm, clearly well insulated. We turned the rads down to 2.
It was clean but there were dusty areas eg radiators and in corners. Bathroom needs a bit of maintenance but still lovely.
Sykes’ information is out of date. Reception closed at 6pm, we almost missed it. The pool, sauna etc were shut at 6pm Tues -Thurs. Sykes had said 9pm, We’d have aimed to arrive 1 hr earlier had this information been supply.
There is a pay washing machine and dryer on site £2.50 for each.
Whitbarrow staff and holidaymakers were all very friendly, felt like a real home from home.
Other reviews complain about the parking, this is less than 5 mins walk away and Whitbarrow are happy foryou to park by reception to unload/load your car, so no problems experienced. Disabled parking is right next to reception. There are Charging Points there too.
Location was great as close off to A66 (and quiet!), we had good hill days out at Ullswater, Ennerdale and Honister Pass.
Thank you for your kind and helpful review.
