    “The flat was nice, we have stayed in various other flats in the development and this flat was missing some elements which could easily be resolved .”

    There is no mirror in either of the bedrooms so it was difficult to dry our hair and put on any makeup, we both sort out a full land mirror in each room would be a massive improvement.

Overall, we had a nice day in your apartment and I hope you take a comments in the spirit they intended, which is to improve the flat.

The property

In Bowness-on-Windermere, there is a lovely, second-floor apartment called High Rigg.

It's a great home base for a family of four as it boasts off-road parking and a great location close to the magnificent Lake Windermere. Come back to your home away from home after a long day of exploring, relax, and watch a film or two on the Smart TV.

Prepare a delicious, home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen for the entire family to enjoy around the dinner table, as you listen to each other's favourite parts of the day.

Relax with a bottle of wine in the evenings while staring out at the trees that line the Lake, visible from your very own balcony.

When sleep calls, put kids to bed in the twin room before you retire to the inviting double room for a well-deserved rest.

When you're ready the next day, head into Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can find numerous family-friendly activities, including the World of Beatrix Potter, which is only a short stroll from your accommodation; Wray Castle, a National Trust landmark; Brockhole on Windermere; and Treetop Lake District's Treetop Trek and Treetop Nets.

The Ship Inn and Porto Restaurant are two excellent dining options in the area if you're searching for something to eat or drink after a day of sightseeing.

You can head to Kendal by car, a market town that is an excellent spot for souvenir shopping.

Among the town's most well-liked tourist destinations are the educational spots of the Kendal Museum and the Lakeland Museum, with no trip to Kendal being complete without trying the town's world-famous Kendal Mint Cake!

A stop into Ambleside, a town situated just north along the Lake, is also highly recommended.

History buffs should visit the Ambleside Roman Fort, and after a day of touring the town, stop by Zeffirellis or Copper Pot for some delicious food and drink.

For an unforgettable stay in the Lake District, choose High Rigg Apartment.
