    “Great position with Bowness, easy access to Lakes, shops, restaurants etc.”

    If you have mobility issues then this apartment is not for you. Steps to front door and then more stairs to property. Walking back from town is also up a steep hill. Inside the apartment is an adequate comfortable sized lounge with dining table. Kitchen is absolutely tiny and def only made for 1. Even opening oven door is an issue whilst standing in the kitchen. Lack of any sizeable worktop to prepare or serve food. No freezer space not even small top compartment. Big issue when staying for 7 ...

    If you have mobility issues then this apartment is not for you. Steps to front door and then more stairs to property. Walking back from town is also up a steep hill. Inside the apartment is an adequate comfortable sized lounge with dining table. Kitchen is absolutely tiny and def only made for 1. Even opening oven door is an issue whilst standing in the kitchen. Lack of any sizeable worktop to prepare or serve food. No freezer space not even small top compartment. Big issue when staying for 7 nights. Fridge temperature did not get as cold as it should be, even when we turned it up. Complete apartment could do with a deep clean, I had to clean the draining board tray before use and could do with much bigger bin. No recycling facilities. Oven racks were dirty and had only fresh foil put in them. The bedroom again adequate size, the mattress was below the bed frame which made it painful when turning over, sitting on bed or getting out. New mattress required. Enough drawer space except very hard to open and some would not open at all. The wall behind the cupboard and the rest of the wall under the window even thought had been painted black were damp and covered in mould. The wall paper was peeling off due to the damp. Again steps in bathroom were a little small so had to walk up sideways. Ensuite was adequate, sink very small but good powerful shower. Plenty of hot water and instant heating when required. Parking permit was very welcome and a huge bonus. Wifi was good,
