This first-floor apartment is located in the grounds of a beautiful Georgian manor house in the small village of Spark Bridge, within walking distance of the local pub. Sitting on the southern edge of the Lake District National Park, the property is perfectly positioned for enjoying day trips to Coniston Water and Lake Windermere. On Coniston Water, beautifully restored Victorian steamers run up and down the lake, allowing visitors to take in the full grandeur of the surrounding landscape. For a more active view of the lake, the boating centre in the village of Coniston offers a wide range of watersports, including stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing.

This first-floor apartment is accessed via a shared entrance and two flights of stairs, and may therefore be unsuitable for guests with limited mobility. Once inside, guests are welcomed into a bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, beautifully furnished with contemporary décor. A charming window seat provides the perfect spot to take in the lovely views across the gardens, while two comfortable sofas offer a relaxing place to unwind in front of the Smart TV/DVD.

The dining area sits adjacent to the lounge, with the modern kitchen well equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The attractive bedroom enjoys views across the grounds and features a double bed with carefully chosen furnishings to create a comfortable and restful retreat. The apartment benefits from an en-suite shower room with shower and WC, together with a separate bathroom offering a shower over a half-size bath and WC.

Outside, the property enjoys a private patio area with garden furniture, whilst all of the apartments share access to the extensive landscaped gardens. There is off-road parking for two cars.

What a wonderful apartment with a stunning view. To come into the lounge of a morning and look out to the far distance as well as the grounds was fabulous. The apartment was totally as described in the pictures and wonderfully peaceful, you would not know you were in a building with 3 other apartments.

The apartment was accurately described and photographed in the listing. First impressions fully met expectations. Pre-arrival notes warn you not to rely on SatNav but mine took me straight to the front door. The bed is very comfortable, with good-quality bedding and a mattress protector. Surprisingly, the pillows had no protectors, which I would eRead morexpect in a holiday let. Parking is convenient and there are rapid EV chargers at Booths supermarket a few miles away. Wi-Fi is modest but perfectly adequate for streaming, although the signal is weak in the bedroom. There is a smart TV with Netflix and Amazon TV buttons (sign in with your account) , plus a compact Bose Bluetooth speaker which is excellent for music or Audible. The kitchen is well equipped. The coffee machine is Krups Nespresso machine so bring your own pods. A few basics were provided (kitchen roll, washing up liquid, 2x dishwasher tabs), although there was no hand soap or salt or pepper (which are often provided) and the coffee sachets were well past their best-before date (so as you would expect, bring your own coffee) There is a small fan. In very hot weather, bring your own larger fan, although being on the third floor overlooking the estuary, opening the large sash window gives a pleasant breeze. The washer-dryer worked particularly well. Everything generally appeared well maintained, although neither bathroom mirror light was working during my stay. Overall, I rated the apartment highly. The lack of pillow protectors is a small and easily remedied issue, and I would happily stay here again. Hide

This is a fabulous apartment, very clean, very comfortable & warm. Views of the gardens & estuary are lovely. Good views because of lots of stairs to second floor. Very accessible to places to visit good parking. Thankyou for a nice holiday & I welcomed the Prosecco after a long journey from Norfolk !

The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and warm, it's also in the most amazing spot. Lots of places to visit, plenty of walks and shops down the road if you want to eat at home. We love Summerhill but the bed is now an issue for us because it is just uncomfortable and we don't sleep.

The apartment is a lovely place to stay. Spacious with everything we needed for our week away. In a very peaceful location but close enough to lake Windermere and Coniston , both about a 30 minute drive away.

A really lovely appartment in a wonderful setting close to so many attractions. The appartment was comfortable and clean but we felt that the bedding probably needed replacing, and perhaps there should be more attention to detail in the cleaning particularly since this is the start of the season?
