Contrary to reviews I had read we had no problem with the hot water /heating (new boiler been fitted).The bed was comfy slept well all week.There was a problem with the dishwasher we put it on on day 2 and all the power went out however the Parkdean staff were excellant and got the power back on (dont think its ideal plugging a dishwasher into sockets under the sink ).Apart from that we had a lovely stay and I would recommend it to family and friends the site has everything you need and its not far from Ambleside or Windermere. One more thing a non slip showermat was needed (I did buy one)

The property could do with some tlc - e.g broken runners, doors swinging back open once closed too.

Also there was what looked like the beginning of black mould over where the wash basket was kept.
