Beautiful views all round. Lovely place despite serious wind and rain on first two days. Very comfortable.Owners are probably aware that there is a leak when there is extreme wind and rain causing a pool on kitchen low windowsill. Also we think the toilet in the double bedroom may be leaking.None of this dampened our stay, just want owners to know so they can deal with it.

Fantastic holiday accommodation just a short drive from the A66 and easy to get to Keswick. The apartment is spacious, very well furnished and has beautiful panoramic views from every window. It has the WHOW factor and we will certainly be back.

Our second stay at this lovely apartment and had another great time. Was surprised to find a Robin hopping around the apartment on arrival though!! Not sure how it got in but we managed to get it out!! Did make us laugh! Not a complaint but the toaster is a bit temperamental, still managed to burn on the recommended settings so be careful. Very comfortable place with amazing views and everything you need. Hope to come again in the future.
