“This is an amazing place to stay for a few days.”

Accommodation is very comfortable, and really is as beautiful as it looks in the photos!!! Location is great too, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants etc, also the lake, lake cruises etc. Kitchen seemed very well equipped, although we mostly ate out so didn't make much use of it. Only 2 small things - there were no kitchen scissors which seemed odd. And there is no TV in the bedroom despite it being listed. I think this was mentioned in other reviews. But other than these - ...

“Stunning apartment.”

Outstanding location. Very last minute booking for us and everything went so smoothly. 100% will be returning. The weather was atrocious over the bank holiday weekend so spent more time inside than we usually would.Skylark more than made up for the constant downpours outside. It has been mentioned before but the lack of a freezer or even a freezer compartment was a bit of an issue.

“Stayed here for 4 nights and it was lovely.”

Great location, accessible to many other villages. The space was huge and more than comfortable for two. Lovely decor in the living and bedroom which made the stay so cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Will definitely return.

“The only thing I could say was that it would have been nice to have a freezer especially in the summer months.”

“Great accommodation in a good location for access to shops cafes etc.”

on site parking was provided but manoeuvring into the space was tight if your vehicle is large For the owners information the kick board below the sink etc. kept falling down twice onto my foot I would certainly go back as everything else was excellent

“Arrived yesterday and we are delighted with our apartment.”

It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Couple of issues I need to mention though. Your website page and guest information book for Skylark mention a TV in the bedroom and a Bose speaker in the living room (there is a Bose remote control!) neither of which are present, it's not a problem but I think your website and the guest information book need updated.

“Beautiful apartment with quality fittings and fixtures and is a credit to the owners.”

This is the third time in the last 9 months that we have stayed here and will stay again. However, the housekeeping on this occasion has slipped. I dropped my ring under the bed and found an empty juice bottle some previous guests had thrown underneath it. When I went to put some clothes in the bedroom drawer someone had left a leg waxing kit that hadn't been removed by housekeeping. Also it was obvious that it hadn't been vacuumed on the carpeted areas very well. I reiterate this is a beautiful apartment that we plan to return to but please get the housekeeping back to a good standard. I don't want the negative feedback of this review published as to put off other people booking it but want to be honest so as to hopefully rectify.

“Thank you for such an exceptional stay.”

Only issue was the amount of dust on the fake plants and the tap for the bath was wobblier than jelly no matter how careful we were with it. Other than these minor inconveniences, the stay was perfect. The bed was incredible and the tv in the living room had everything you needed. Kitchen was clean and easy to use. Fully reccomend this holiday apartment!

- Shannon, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay. We will ask our Housekeeping Teams to ensure that our high standards continue to be met. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Shaun June 2023

“We were really impressed by everything - location, layout, fittings, cleanliness.”

Just needed some scissors in the kitchen drawer. Also, we couldn't find the switch for the lamps above the kitchen table! (Not a problem for our visit in late June, but might be frustrating later in the year). Other than these small quibbles, the apartment couldn't really be improved upon. Highly recommended.

Edwina May 2023

“Beautiful property, definitely luxury feel has everything you need for a great stay.”

Apartment ideally located in Bowness, plenty of fabulous resturants & pubs to visit all within 5 minutes walk and easy access to the rest of the Lakes. We look forward to visiting again.

“A small freezer would have been very useful to have in the kitchen.”

Also some cleaning equipment (brush/shovel) to help sweep up after removing mucky boots/shoes.

Jan March 2023

“We love this apartment so much, we stayed in December last year and had already booked for this stay in March and again for July.”

It is conveniently located for shops bars and restaurants but also with almost direct access onto the fells. We never use the car when we stay here and go walking every day. Another plus is you can park right at the door. All of the furnishings are stylish & good quality. The bathroom is spacious, modern and very well fitted out as is the kitchen, the only downside is there isn't a freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge. I only need it for ice for the G&T's

- Jan, March 2023

Dear Jan, Thank you for your wonderful comments. I am delighted to hear you love the apartment and booked to come back! We take on board your comments for an icebox for those all important G&Ts and will consider it when the fridge needs replacing. Look forward to welcoming you soon. Property Owner

“Our second visit to Skylark,perfectly placed for all amenities in Bowness-on-Windermere.”

Fantastic facilities at the apartment,already booked for Christmas next year,looking forward to return.

Dear Stephen, Thank you for reviewing your recent stay, we are absolutely delighted you've chosen to re-book and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Jan December 2022

“Beautiful imaculately presented and well appointed property with quality fittings and furnishings.”

Some of which we have at home so definitely tonour taste. We have stayed in Pereguin before and that was really good too but Skylark just pips it for us. The only thing I missed was no freezer compartment on the fridge but can live with that the stay in such a nice apartment. We have already booked to come back for a week in March then again in July.

- Jan, December 2022

Dear Jan, Thank you for choosing to return to the Stonecliffe Apartments. I am delighted you find Skylark home-from-home and you've already chosen to rebook with us. Thank you for your lovely comments and look forward to welcoming you back again in March. Property Owner

Comfortable property ideally located for the shops and restaurants of bowness which are within walking distance Only gripes were some black mould in bathroom walls and the leak Into the kitchen from bath in apartment above, but the agents did respond Quickly to the water leak Would stay here again

- Gwen, October 2022

Dear Gwen, Thank you for reviewing your recent stay with us. We are pleased you found the location ideal for exploring Bowness. We can only apologise for the oversight in cleanliness and water leak on this occasion and can assure you these are isolated incidents. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
Robert October 2022

“Very spacious and well located property.”

Would agree with previous comments, need hand soap in bathroom and kitchen, very surprised not provided given the overall standard. There are only 4 mugs, everything else there is 8 or more of which means hand washing necessary.

- Robert, October 2022
Wayne September 2022

“Lovely property, some samll cleansing euros but didn't distract from the whole experience,little dust in light shade, grouting in shower marked Furnishings of good quality although sofa cushioning could do with being refilled.”

Ideal location Definitely works stay again, if the opportunity arose

This wonderful holiday home welcomes a couple looking for a refreshing, romantic getaway to the heart of the Lake District National Park, offering private parking, warm, pleasant living areas, and amazing access to nearby attractions and amenities. Step inside and make yourself at home in your new lodgings, where a well-equipped kitchen has everything you and your loved one will need to whip up a wonderful, home-cooked meal for two. Enjoy your feasts at the dining table before unwinding with a drink in hand within the living room where you can enjoy a movie on the sleek, wall-mounted TV - a truly lovely way to spend your evenings whilst you make plans for the rest of your stay. When sleep finally calls, be sure to treat yourselves to a rejuvenating bath before you and your partner retire to the plush king-size bedroom for a night of well-earned sleep. After you've savoured your morning tea, venture out to discover all that the town of Bowness-on-Windermere has to offer. A charming afternoon tea on the outdoor terrace at the Blackwell - the Arts & Crafts House might be more your style if you're looking to spend a leisurely afternoon taking in views of the lake, whilst The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is full of interactive exhibits that you and your partner are sure to love.

Further afield, a quick drive north along the lake will bring you to Ambleside, where the Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, the Stagshaw Gardens, and the Ambleside Roman Fort are all waiting to be explored.

The Stonecliffe Apartments

The Stonecliffe Apartments consists of an impeccable selection of four apartments resting in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria. This collection offers elegant interiors with a contemporary flair and lovely nods to the area throughout such as Herdwick wool throws and artwork, along with access to private parking and an array of the Lake District National Park's sights on their doorsteps. The building of Stonecliffe itself is a large, traditionally built residence which enjoys a prominent position in the heart of the Bowness-on-Windermere, making for an impressive getaway for couples and small families alike. Once a small fishing village, Bowness-on-Windermere grew in the 19th Century to welcome tourists and visitors mainly due its beautiful location on the shores of Lake Windermere. Today you can enjoy a cruise around the lake, or hire a rowing boat or kayak. The town itself has many things to do, including the World of Beatrix Potter, the Old Laundry Theatre, a small cinema and many individual shops, restaurants and bars. Across the water by Ferry to the tiny hamlet of Far Sawrey is Beatrix Potter's home, Hill Top and many lovely walks around the village of Hawkshead. Further up the Lake is the wonderful Wray Castle, now owned by the National Trust and a great family day out. All around you of course, are many walks and wanders into the fells, from idyllic strolls around Cockshott Point to moderate climbs up Claife Heights. Wherever you choose to go for your excursions, The Stonecliffe Apartments provide a sumptuous base for you to retire to each evening.
