What guests are saying
Skyfall had the Wow factor when we opened the door to the apartment.
There was a lovely welcome pack for us including a bottle of Prosecco which was great. Very stylish and the sofas very comfortable. It had everything you needed in the kitchen area. The beds were the best I have ever slept in when going on holiday so comfy and very good quality. The skirting boards were a bit dusty with some cobwebs but overall the apartment was clean. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at Skyfall for a week with our dog, Hector, and had a lovely stay overall.
The apartment is very spacious, with generously sized rooms throughout, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen was particularly well-equipped and had everything we needed during our stay. We also appreciated the welcome gifts left for both Hector and us - a really thoughtful touch that set the tone for the holiday. The outside space was a nice bonus, especially during the fantastic weather we had, although it would have been even better if cushions had been provided for the rattan furniture. We also found the Duux fan to be a great addition during the heatwave, and the apartment’s windows allow for a good through-breeze, which helped keep things comfortable. The location worked very well for exploring the Lake District. There are pleasant grounds around the property which were handy for short walks with Hector and a quick stretch of the legs before heading out for the day. We found ourselves well positioned for driving to many of the area’s attractions, although we’d recommend setting off before 9am if possible, as traffic can become very busy from around 9:30am onwards. The Marina is only around a 10-minute walk away and is well worth a visit - we enjoyed it so much that we ate there more than once. The ferry is also within walking distance and provides access to some lovely walks and a café on the opposite side of the lake. One issue we encountered on arrival was that the hob was not working. After reporting it, maintenance attended promptly and quickly identified the cause - a trip switch hidden behind the drawers had been turned off. Once this was reset, everything worked perfectly, and the maintenance team's response was excellent. The property is clearly very well cared for and presented to a high standard. There are just a couple of small maintenance items that could benefit from attention, such as the carpet transition strip in the lounge and a small gap in the bathroom flooring, but these are minor points and addressing them would simply bring the apartment back to absolutely tip-top condition. A couple of practical points for future guests: the EV charger is not always available as it appears to be allocated to another property, and the parking space numbers could be made more visible. Our allocated spaces were occupied several times by visitors or residents from other units, which became a minor frustration during the week. Overall, Skyfall is a comfortable, spacious and well-located property that provided an excellent base for exploring the Lake District. The few minor issues we encountered were outweighed by the positives, and we would happily return.
This is our 4th time we have stayed at this property and it never disappoints.
Lovely grounds which are always impeccably kept and the actual property is the same .We would strongly recommend this property
