“The property has been beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, to a very high standard.”
The kitchen has everything you could need, the living space is comfortable and vast and the bedrooms are all of a good size with stunning bathrooms. The added use of the games room and small section of outside space is a fantastic addition. The location itself is perfect - only a 10-15 min walk to both Bowness and Windermere - meaning you have a host of bars, restaurants, shops and activities on your doorstep. We couldn't have asked for more.
The first drawback was that the clean before our arrival left a lot to be desired. The upstairs bathroom didn't look like it had been cleaned thoroughly at all, with a dirty cloth left on the shower floor. The upstairs bins had not been emptied and were full of the previous visitor's rubbish. The living space was generally clean, but the washing machine was dirty inside and the place needed a "spring clean" to wash down wooden skirting boards etc. I would hope that this was a one-off.
However, the biggest issue we had was the heat. Whilst we appreciate that The Lake District is not known for 30 degree temperatures, there had been feedback in the guest book for the need for fans for the top two bedrooms which get VERY hot and two extremely small (4 inch) fans had been provided. This was simply not good enough. The property direction means you get sun on the front windows from about 11am and all day long and the heat became unbearable. In the end, we had to purchase our own more substantial fans - which was disappointing given how well appointed the house was for everything else.
All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to stay again and had a fabulous holiday. Our only proviso would be that we bring our own fans next time!
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear of the issues that you experienced with the cleanliness of the property. We will pass on your feedback to the cleaning team.
We take your comments regarding the fans, on board.
We hope that you would return again.
