Romney 14

We were delighted with Romney 14.

Everything perfect - delightful property and so convenient for boats and buses. Views from property beautiful.

The apartment was beautiful, clean, spacious and very comfortable.

Had a fantastic weeks sleep. The view from the bay window was breathtaking, never got tired of seeing it. Lovely walk into the hills and across the valley from the track at the side with a view out across windermere. The apartment was close to lots of amenities and an easy walk into Ambleside. It was great to be able to use the boats from Waterhead without having to worry about parking and charges. The green cruise to Wray Castle, Brockholes and back to Ambleside was really good, especially since you can get off the boat at each location and have a walk around. Would highly recommend Romney 14 and definitely wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

14 Romney Grange is, overall, a really comfortable and excellently located apartment.

Some earlier reviews mention items of updating or maintenance that could be undertaken This is probably true but set against the outstanding qualities of the apartment these are of minimal importance and did not detract one iota from our enjoyment. Were we to return to Ambleside we would certainly be delighted to secure 14 Romney as our base.

This was our second visit to Romney 14 with a 3 generation family (17 years to 88 years) and it won't be our last!

The property is in a fantastic location and we loved our time there. There was one issue with a shower tray not draining and this was dealt with promptly. There would be two suggestions I would make - our visit coincided with a heatwave and the apartment was unbearably hot, especially for my elderly mam. Having fans available for each room for summer visits I feel is essential to keep the spaces comfortable. For our mixed age group a second TV in one of the bedrooms would also have been most useful.

This was our first stay at this apartment, and we had a wonderful time.

The website photographs accurately reflect the property and, if anything, do not do it justice in terms of the space available. The main living and communal area is extremely spacious, while each bedroom is generously sized, well-equipped, and benefits from ample built-in storage for clothes and personal belongings. The bathroom facilities are excellent, and the powerful showers are perfect after a long day exploring the Lake District. The bay window provides a stunning panoramic view of the Langdale Pikes and the Ambleside launch point for Windermere cruises. The side balcony offers a lovely view of Loughrigg Fell, albeit slightly obscured by the trees. Nevertheless, it provides a useful outdoor space to get some fresh air, assess the day's weather, or simply enjoy the night sky. The property is only a short walk from the centre of Ambleside and includes an allocated parking space within the apartment complex, which is a real bonus. The welcoming bottle of Prosecco was very much appreciated, thank you. The Lakelovers office staff were also extremely friendly and kindly provided an extra set of keys, which helped greatly with the logistics of our stay. I would highly recommend this property, and we fully intend to return at some point in the not-too-distant future.

We have been coming to this property at least twice a year for the past few years and would highly recommend it,my only criticism,and this is not a complaint,is the balcony could do with a good clean up and a new patio set

We had a lovely festive break.

The flat was beautiful, the view amazing, very clean, great facilities. A great location to walk into Ambleside and of course to catch the boat. All wonderful!

We have been coming here twice a year for the last few years and are never disappointed, from the lovely furniture, amenities,and spectacular views and the bonus of parking we always look forward to our next visit,it's always clean and warm which makes you feel welcome and the prosecco is much appreciated,thank you Anne for letting us share it

This is our fourth stay at Romney 14.

This time my sister and brother-in-law joined us and we had another memorable stay. Although it rained a lot, this did not spoil our stay as the scenery from the apartment is breathtaking and we enjoyed sitting at the window seat and drinking it all in. The property is extremely comfortable. Plenty of seating and the most comfortable beds of any holiday home we have been in. The kitchen has plenty of crockery and utensils. Not an issue, but a few larger china mugs would be welcome, although we have already booked a fortnight for next year and intend bringing our own as we do like our tea and coffee. There was a patch on one of the bedroom ceilings which was dry so assume it was just waiting to be freshly painted when the property is empty. I mentioned this to Sykes and they said they would forward to the maintenance team. Can’t wait for our next visit to Romney 14 in the spring and hopefully have some better weather. Thank you also for the complimentary bottle of Prosecco.

Fantastic apartment, the icing on the cake was the view across Lake Windermere, our go to seating was sitting in the window seat watching the boats and people come n go.

The apartment was spacious n clean with a well equipped kitchen. Kitchen tap had a drip just made sure plug was not in. The shared bathroom was spotless just a little mold along tray which happens n am sure these will be rectified. We all said had the best sleep ever. We have booked Ambleside for the last 5 years and this has been our favourite property. We are hoping to return next year, if not sooner.

Fabulous view.

Also very clean and spacious apartment.

Lovely spacious home- comfy beds and great showers with plenty of hot water (when we found the switch to turn on).

Few areas could do with a more thorough clean - kitchen doors- handles should really be cleaned after every visit. 3 out if 4 bulbs in living area weren’t working, asked twice to be resolved with either replacement bulbs or decent lamp but not resolved and no feedback - meant it was too dark to sit and play games or complete jigsaw whilst sat on sofas. But with such a good location would definitely recommend the property. Appreciated the Prosecco but personally would have preferred to be provided with basics like washing up liquid and soap in bathrooms.

Our 3rd visit to Romney 14, and it’s just as it always is; warm, very spacious, comfortable and the sun just shines in all day, when it actually shines, it is the lakes after all.

Our top recommendation for this apartment, it really is that good.

We have stayed at Anne & Tim's Apartment on many occasions.

It has everything you need and is very comfortable. Best night's sleep ever,and we look forward to seeing you again in September...Thanks Ron & Sue Green.

Lovely stay.

Great facilities and space. Fabulous views to enjoy. Would definitely stay again. Just a couple of opportunities. The microwave timer / clock has an issue. Some repair work needed around the window seat. Extra box or bin for recycling items would be useful.

The flat was a little dusty a d under the cupboard in the bedroom had not been cleaned as our daughter found old ferry tickets.

Bigger cups would be better in the kitchen for hot drinks. The hot water ran out several times. The guide book said complimentary bottle of wine but no wine provided. Tea bags and small milk left would have been a nice compliment too! Lovley view from the property. A dust bin with a recycling section would be useful as no where to store recycling before carrying it all down to the outside bins.

Because of our first stay; we came back!

And again, glad we did. This time we brought my stepdaughter with us, we had a great time, with good weather, a touch cloudy, but very warm every day, lovely. Much walking in the beautiful hillsides and around the lakes, we hardly noticed the week fly by, as it always seems to. So many thanks, P+K.

Fabulous apartment with amazing views.

Very, very pleased with this apartment, spacious, comfortable and with great views of the marina area, which looked great at night with all the lights.

We Highly recommend this for any length of stay, memorable!

We really enjoyed the spacious accommodation with excellent facilities.

The apartment is immaculate with tasteful furnishings. The amazing view towards Windermere and the pier from the bay window is awesome making the window seat area very popular. It was lovely to have a 3 generational family holiday in such a beautiful apartment in a stunning location.We hope to return one day. Many thanks.

It was a pain with the dishwasher not working and only having a small area to place what had been washed.

It was a hard first half of the week not being able to shower. The first night was a horrible time with the water overflowing from the shower and into the hallway and sitting room. Two days later a man came and fixed it, but said that it would happen again because the pipe for draining the water was going upwards. The sink in the kitchen also got blocked and on the day we left it seemed to be close to being blocked again.

Superb apartment fitted with absolutely everything desired.

Wonderful views of life on the Lake from the living area and patio. Secure access and covered parking. Easy and good directions for key access.

We have just returned from an amazing stay at Romney 14.

The apartment is absolutely beautiful and very spacious and comfortable. Many happy memories made, thank you!

The whole apartment needs a deep clean and the damp / condensation around the windows requires urgent attention.

Extractor fan in the en-suite does not work causing the bathroom to be wet. The bases of the stools in the kitchen were filthy. The shower base to the en-suite needs resealing as it is dirty. A lovely spacious apartment with outstanding views but needs someone to have a close look at the issues raised.

Great stay yet again, re booked for March, looking forward to it.

..Thank's for a good holiday..

All perfect.

Will be back.

Wonderful views from the apartment, great place to stay to explore the local area and easy access to bus travel and lake cruises.

The property was amazing in all areas - location, space and facilities.

It was perfect and met all our requirements. Also, this was the first time we booked with Sykes and the entire booking to departure process was fantastic.

Good views and position.

The flat was clean, and the facilities and furnishings were good. The bed was too soft. The flat was noisy partially due to its position overlooking a busy road junction, added to by builders and garden maintenance. Providing just one set of keys for a three-bedroomed flat is simply absurd. This alone would mean we will not return.

Great location and fabulous view over the Lake.

2nd time at this apartment and would still return.

Very lovely apartment, beautifully presented, comfortable, with stunning views.

Only issue was some black mould around some of the windows. We had a wonderful week, it is a fantastic place to base your holiday in the Lakes. The staff at Sykes were very friendly and helpful too.

Lovely property in a perfect location.

We were able to abandon the car for the whole week and walk, used buses as the stop was conveniently outside the property. We also took the ferry to Bowness as again the pier was located right outside the property. Would highly recommend the property. The only negatives, which we did feedback to heart of the lakes was the fridge freezer was off when we arrived. We had arrived with chilled food and did have a grocery delivery which we had to manage. We also didn’t receive the welcome wine that was advertised.

Fantastic apartment.

..great views...everything you needed was in the apartment..we loved it that much we have booked it again in march..thankyou so much for our stay..and please also thank the owners Ron & Sue Green..

A lovely apartment with great views across Windemere.

It has large rooms, is well equipped and in a great location. It was a great base for the week.

This is our second visit to 14 Romney Grange.

The property is beautiful and has stunning views in all directions. Really enjoyed the two new bathrooms. Will definitely visit again.

The flat has superb views.

Sitting in the window seat, reading, and watching the light change over Windermere turned a rainy day into a holiday highlight. Lovely new bathrooms too.

An excellent apartment - very comfortable and well located with great views over the lake.

Conveniently the Bus stops at the bottom of the drive which makes transport easy and we didn’t use the car all week. Hope to stay again some time.

Fantastic base in a great location.

Allocated parking was huge essential and one of main reasons we chose Romney.

Lovely apartment - perfect for our much needed family holiday.

Brilliant location with beautiful views of lake Windermere from the bay window and balcony.

The apartment is a perfect position with a fantastic view of the lake.

Very big, ideal for 4 adults & 3 children. You don’t need to use a car if you prefer not to.

Romney 14 is a great apartment.

Very comfortable, really good location and excellent views. The window seat became a favourite spot to sit and still enjoy the Lakes if the weather was bad. Lots of great walks on the doorstep so we didn’t have to drive out somewhere every day. The open top bus (with a stop outside) was excellent value and the Tearooms at Troutbeck was a fab find.

Everything was just as we wanted for a holiday at this time.

One thing though you are still referring to me as Westy!! My name is West, please change your records.

We're very fussy about accommodation but I can easily say the apartment was a pleasure to stay in.

Location, views, all rooms really good and well equipped. No complaints.
