Spacious and lovely location but sofas very uncomfortable. Some of the lights didnt work (does nobody check these?) and worst of all the heating is only on from 7am to 9.30 am and 7pm to 10pm.

Excellent accommodation with lovely views in a quiet peaceful location. The thoughtful provision of a powerful telescope in Broomriggs 3 allowed observation of the ospreys nest to the left across the lake through the open window.

Very good front room and fair sized kitchen, comfortable and roomy apart from the rear beds, which also suffer a bit from lack of storage space if you are avid walkers and cyclists as we are.

This is a lovely apartment and great value for money, I would recommend this place and definitely return should the opportunity arise. There are parts of the apartment which require some attention and the back double and single room don't appear to get much sunlight, this did not spoil our holiday. The apartment is big and the back double and singlRead moree room have their own hall way and bathroom which is bonus. Walking distance to Hawkshead and Tower Bank Pub/Beatrice Potter in other direction . Hide
