Great location with view of lake Windermere from lounge and main bedroom. Property had everything we needed. Toaster lost its buttons on the 2nd day but John offered to get one sent over by Amazon straight away, we refused as out all weekend but the offer was greatly appreciated. Very good communication with host. Would definitely stay again.

Location was perfect. Apartment was spacious and comfortable. Perfect for a family gathering. Cleanliness was most significant issue. Dog feces was found under one of the beds. Dirty towels were tossed into the upper shelf of closet. Dirty floors in bathroom. Reached out to host who apologized. Kettle was broken. Host promised to replace on Saturday and it never came. Host offered discount next time we stayed. I expected some sort of discount on this stay.

Family Holiday
Perfect location and good parking area for 2 cars, 3 at a push. Excellent facilities and very spacious. Our only recommendations for improvement would be some fans in the cupboards as the rooms upstairs (particularly the front bedroom) get very hot during the day in the summer. The double bed without the en-suite on the top floor was broken, the slats were damaged and could do with replacing. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Excellent location
Excellent location, five minutes or less walk into central Bowness. Wonderful views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom. Perfect for our family of six adults and a three year old, though we used two of the rooms as single occupancy so could have easily accommodated another two adults / older children. The property was clean and all facilities / amenities were as expected. Great communication from the host from booking up to arrival. Overall great value for money. Would definitely recommend and we will keep this property in mind for future visits to the Lake District. Thanks!

Superb Location
From the first enquiry with John to leaving after our holiday there was no hassle, the property was exactly as described and the location superb. Having parking for more than 1 car was really useful, the location to the town was great making it easy to walk to bars, restaurants and shops. Would recommend for a very enjoyable stay in the Lakes.

Tired property & not suitable for 8 people orchildren/ elderly people.
This property needs immediate attention to lower ground floor, which has a smelly bedroom & mouldy shower room, also toilet doesn’t flush properly. So really this house only accommodates 6 people. The other rooms on 2 floors are ok but in desperate need of a face lift. Require more suitable cooker, as one in is far too big. The fridges are not too great either, some of cooking appliance need upgrading, although there is plenty of storage space. Balcony looks onto back alley area which is not very pleasant Master bedroom is very big with plenty of storage space, so generally good. Sadly had a dodgy socket, which blew my husbands phone charger. Fan in bathroom not working, also noticed water very, very hot throughout the house, which is more dangerous for children and the elderly. Fortunately there was only 3 of us staying here, had there been 6 as intended. We would have had a problem, as we needed 3double bedrooms and the twin room, as would no way have been able to use the lower ground floor. In all this is a very big house with great potential in need of an enormous upgrade In an ideal location. And we mainly enjoyed our stay, just wish it was in better conditions. I was doubtful in giving this review, as it seems very harsh, but feel I’m doing you a favour John, as think you may not be fully aware of the state of your home! Giving time and obviously money on the property, I think this holiday accommodation could be a good earner for you! Hope to come back when been upgraded, and would even pay more for it too! Regards, Mr & Mrs Alexander.

Unclean property
We arrived to find a very disappointing property. The actual location was good but the apartment definitely had no curb appeal. I spent 3 hours cleaning the property on the Saturday evening when we arrived. It was dirty there were cobwebs everywhere, and behind each bed the spiders were having a field day! You could not see out of the windows they were filthy. The microwave was disgusting, I could go on!! It was just unkept and definitely not worth the money. The owner did offer to send the cleaners back in, but I explained it was far cleaner after I had finished! It’s a shame it could be a fantastic property,we certainly will not be returning!! It would have been nice if the owner had offered some form of compensation certainly for the 3 hours cleaning I did! It certainly is not what we are use to!!

The property is in a great location and very clean and well equipped. The property décor could do with updating. I would suggest that the owner check the grill on the oven as it does not appear to be working very well. Overall we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.

Rainy August stay
Plus points: Brilliant location for all local amenities and transport to all surrounding towns/villages Large house, six of us in property, plenty of room On site parking (we had a VW van, so couldn't fit in garage, but this wasnt a problem as there is an allocated space outside the property) Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc Issue with one shower was sorted within two hours of reporting to owner, which was great Minus points/little things that could be changed to make a difference: Some things had not been cleaned on arrival - fridges, bases of toilets Some of the curtains were hanging off the hooks and were very old-fashioned and dirty Mattresses could do with being replaced on some beds as they had springs that 'boinged' and dug into you everytime you turned over! Sheet on bed in master suite was very old and bleach stained Property is on a busy main road into Bowness -on-Windermere, so at front of property you get a lot of traffic noise, which can be heard despite double glazing Bathroom tiles were mouldy - just a quick bleach would make all the difference Overall, a good place to stay with the family, very convenient but with a few relatively minor improvements, would be perfect. Oh and some sun would have been nice, but that's out of anyone's control!!

Perfectly placed for us. Comfortable, clean and had everything we could need. Would happily stay here again. The owner, John, very kindly phoned us, shortly after we left, to inform us that we had left our dog’s bed. It was a small gesture but gave us chance to call back and collect it before we left Bowness. Thanks for a pleasant stay John. 👍

The property wasn't the cleanest when we arrived. The bathroom fans didn't work. The travel cot for babies was really dirty and the area the house is in is really loud. The mattresses were very uncomfortable to sleep in and we ended up sleeping on an air mattress instead.
