“We did enjoy a our stay.”

The beds are comfortable, if a second duvet is used as a mattress topper (ie, removable mattress toppers might be considered, so your guests have an option to choose how hard they find the mattresses). It is quite noisy at night with people in the street. We missed any (laminated?) map or guides to the local attractions, which would have been useful.

“A lovely apartment with some excellent facilities ideally situated in the heart of Keswick with easy access to shops, grocery stores and eateries.”

I'd also commend the fact that, even though the apartment is above a bookshop, at no point was there any noise coming from below to disturb us. Obtaining the keys and arranging the car park pass was easy and access to the apartment from the high street was simple. Two very minor issues were that there was no facility for recycling (only a bin for general waste - the recycling facilities that were provided were clearly marked for use by the bookshop only) and, because there is no parking on site, we had to park briefly across the gates of the forecourt of the bookshop on double yellow lines to unpack and repack on arrival and departure.

“This apartment is in a great location, with 2 very handy parking permits.”

It was spotless, having been cleaned by a lovely lady called Lucy, who we met as we were leaving after our week’s stay. It was a lovely, comfortable apartment, and our week should have kept us happy. However, we were very disappointed at the apparent lack of washing machine, which was critical to our choosing this property. Apparently it was in a cupboard marked PRIVATE, which obviously we didn’t look in! What spoilt our holiday for all 5 of us was the way we were spoken to by both of the owners, when dealing with problems we had during our stay. None of the problems were our fault -eg half of the lights failing to work, a defunct toilet, (meaning friends had to come into our bedroom to reach our en-suite), but we weren’t dealt with in a friendly manner. To be polite, I would say this couple need to revise their people pleasing skills! We certainly won’t consider renting this property again, which is a shame, because it has so much to like about it.
