    “One of the best holiday properties we have stayed at and we have stayed at many!”

    The furnishings feel luxurious. The bed is very comfortable and the dressing room is a real bonus for storing luggage etc. The flat is very quiet, although the flat above us was unoccupied during our stay so we benefited from having no noise from above. We found parking was available on the street outside the property most days. We only had to park on the adjacent street on one occasion and it’s literally around the corner so don’t let the lack of dedicated parking put you off. There were ...

    The furnishings feel luxurious. The bed is very comfortable and the dressing room is a real bonus for storing luggage etc. The flat is very quiet, although the flat above us was unoccupied during our stay so we benefited from having no noise from above. We found parking was available on the street outside the property most days. We only had to park on the adjacent street on one occasion and it’s literally around the corner so don’t let the lack of dedicated parking put you off. There were one or two additional bits that would have been handy in the kitchen e.g. some extra plates and cups, but generally it was well equipped. There were no instructions on what do with the bin/recycling so we took our recycling home with us. A chap popped round to put the bin out on the Thursday afternoon which did give us a slight fright when he appeared in the garden, but it explains why there were no instructions for the bin! :) Overall, a really lovely property. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it to others.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback. We’ll add some information about the bins to the welcome back. Property Owner

The property

Settled at the heart of Windermere, a popular tourist destination in the Lake District lies the stunning, ground-floor apartment of The Sunflower. With an enclosed furnished courtyard, immaculate interiors, and a superb location close to nearby amenities and the eponymous Lake Windermere, this wonderful holiday property welcomes a couple seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape in the beautiful county of Cumbria. Park up roadside next to your new abode, and step inside to discover a collection of well-appointed living spaces. An open-plan living area comprising a fully-equipped kitchen invites you and your loved one to whip up a delicious, home-cooked dinner that you can savour at the breakfast bar. Alternatively, head outside with your meals and a glass of your favourite tipple to enjoy the ultimate alfresco experience as the sun shines overhead. In the evening, settle down for a film marathon in the sitting area, where you can kick back and relax on the plush blue sofa as the day rolls into night. When sleep finally calls, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you settle down for a well-earned rest in the sumptuous king-size bedroom. If you can tear yourself from your peaceful new lodgings, head out on foot to discover what your local area has to offer. A brief stroll will bring you to Heathwaite’s convenience store, where you can stock up on essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be had at the Brookside Inn. In town, you’ll find a range of things to do and see, whether that’s snapping shots of The Baddeley Clock Tower, enjoying exhibits at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or coasting along the crisp waters of Lake Windermere with the Windermere Jetty Museum. Further afield, head by car along the Lake to Ambleside, a lakeside setting housing the noteworthy attractions the Ambleside Roman Fort, the outstanding Stagshaw Gardens, as well as the breathtaking Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Whatever you get up to during your next stay in Cumbria, do it from the base of The Sunflower.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
