There was a photo on the bedroom wall which I wanted more info on as I share the same last name, would be interesting if a family members photo was on the wall where I stayed!

    We've stayed in Bowness once before not too far from 2 West End. From the get go it was amazing, central location, the apartment has everything you need! I saw some people criticise the decor in the bathroom, I thought it was quirky and added to the personality. There was a photo on the bedroom wall which I wanted more info on as I share the same last name, would be interesting if a family members photo was on the wall where I stayed! My only complaint and I understand in a 3 storey property it can be difficult was we had some connectivity issues with the WiFi, general doom scrolling was okay but streaming was a small problem. In no way would this impact our decision to come back. Communication with Elizabeth was easy through the Sykes app also!
