  • "This was our second time staying at this property which is a real home form home."

    We intend to stay again and we recommend the accommodation. The accommodation is of a high standard. The bathroom is huge and the shower is excellent. The bed is large and has a very comfy mattress. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need. The lounge and dining area are perfect for two. The hall way is great, super spacious and coats and boots can be left there helping to keep the property clean and tidy. Also great for drying the Dog after his walk. Everything we needed for our little dog was provided and he loved the treats and toys. There is a very safe enclosed garden which was well used. The location of this property with a free parking space is perfect. You can be in Windermere or Bowness quickly after a short walk. There is also access to many frequent buses, the stop is just outside. We were disappointed with the welcome hamper this time. Last time it was lovely and in keeping with the price band of the property. This time we had some biscuits and nothing else! We have had better hampers in lower priced accommodation! This should be reconsidered as the welcome book describes and pictures a much better hamper. Lastly given the price bracket it would be good to have Kitchen Roll and tissues provided. The property is beginning to show a few signs of minor wear and tear but easily monitored and it being super clean is what matters. Overall a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it.

  • "We had a great stay at Lower Sheriff’s place."

    Very comfortable bed and stunning shower room. However we found the sofa to be rather uncomfortable and could do with being replaced for one more sumptuous. Also the noise from the upper flat was far more pronounced than expected and the washing machine was on several times a day and night, possibly it could be requiring to be levelled and placed on a more solid base as when on full ‘spin’ it was very prominent. A beautiful flat but maybe we were just unfortunate with the noise issues that week

  • "Two small points of feedback: (we hired both Lower & Upper) 1."

    really difficult to contact anyone to check things about the property - in our case to have two twin beds put together and to check if early check in was available. 2.Hot water for the shower kept running out - especially when you have 6 people needing to all shower twice daily.

  • "The holiday property is done out very nice with attractive furnishings although the table wobbled quite a bit due to the uneven floor."

    There was also very little crockery meaning the dishwasher went on more often than needed. Unfortunately the weather was particularly bad whilst we were there and the central heating controller was not working. This was reported twice to Lakelovers, who said themselves it was like winter, but nobody ever arrived meaning we were left uncomfortably cold with a lot of wet clothes lying around.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do take all comments on board, and they will followed up on. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

    The high standard of the property has been maintained. It remains very well equipped. A home from home. Thank you for the welcome pack. We enjoy the position of the property between Bowness and Windermere which means we can leave the car should we choose. The electric charging point is a good idea. We've had the lovely holiday in spite of the weather.

  • "Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location, 10 minute walk each way to both Windermere and Bowness."

    Very well equipped with everything you could need for a short break and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Only 2 very minor gripes; 1) The internet connection isn’t good, you will struggle to watch catch up TV without buffering. 2) The noise from the flat upstairs was very loud, the family staying there the same week sounded like they were trying to bounce house bricks on the floor. Lots of loud banging which was quite annoying. Overall though, we had an amazing stay here.

    Nice touch with basket of goodies. Unable to get EV to charge and gave up in the end as I had a hybrid otherwise it would of have become an issue. Found plenty of good places for eating out so no cooking. The Station at Oxenholme is still very good and went twice. Overall a very enjoyable week.

    We love how it feels cosy yet spacious and has everything we need for a lovely stay. Walking in to a welcome packages such as shower goodies and wine and chutneys are small but really appreciated gestures. To give this place some constructive feedback I would say the bed is a bit small and would be better to go a little larger and a must could be to invest in better sound insulation as unfortunately you can hear everything from upstairs
