  Bow Peak is a good sized 2 bedroom 1st floor apartment with plenty of space for the four of us (2 adults, 2 children under 12).

  The kids loved the twin room and the double bedroom was a decent size with wardrobe space. The kitchen was excellent with everything we needed, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, oven, very clean and modern. The bathroom was again clean and modern with a lovely walk in shower, great after a long day of hiking. Lounge was a good size and had a dinner table which was perfect for meals and playing board games. The space in front of the garage was ok, but not quite comfortable enough for our car (Hyundai Santa Fe), we had to park it as close to the garage door to avoid jutting into the pavement too much. Location was excellent for us, walkable to Bowness and the boats, and to Windermere, and driveable to all the other things we did (Helvellyn, Coniston, Ullswater). Possibly the only (very small) down sides were there was no drawer space in the main bedroom, just hanging space; the rainfall shower head was a bit drippy but the other one was perfect; and the stairs up to the apartment may not be great for anyone with difficulties, definitely not suitable for wheelchair users. Otherwise this is a perfectly sized apartment for a family of 3 or 4 in a great location to explore the southern Lake District, and we had great weather which made it one of the best holidays we've ever had.

  This is a superb property, clean, warm and luxuriously comfortable.

  How anyone could think it needs a 'refurb' is quite beyond me! It is quiet and secluded, but near enough to the village of Wetherall to enjoy its facilities, including easy access to Carlisle and Newcastle via the railway station. It is only ten minutes from Tesco and Toby Carvery on the A69. Beautiful looking house, with a rather undistinguished history. Two slight niggles: there is ONE car space for the apartment, not two as stated on the website; I managed to park next to the wall, so it was not a major issue. Secondly, one picture shows table and chairs next to the pond, the implication is that you have access to that. You don't! It is not clear how 'out of sight' of the main house you have to be (how do you access the walks?) so I kept out of the way! Apart from these minor points, you will not be disappointed in this beautiful apartment. If there are people in the upstairs apartment next door, you will know about it, by the way. Not a problem for me, since they were out a lot of the time, but it could be a problem. Would I return? No, I never visit the same holiday location twice, as a general rule.

  We were very impressed by the property.

  It was clean and spacious for the 4 of us living there for a week. We loved the fact that it all looked brand new, the kitchen units and appliances looked new and the bathroom was a very pleasant surprise as it looked as though it had just been renovated. We only used our car once to drive to another area and took the boats to other areas around Windermere Lake. The garage was big enough for 2 cars, but if you have a wide car, it will be a tight squeeze at the sides. Our car was a Yaris Toyota and easily fitted on the front forecourt without spilling over into the pavement. Bowness on Windermere was about a 10 minute walk down a hill and all the shops were local. The area was buzzy and lively with plenty of restaurants and bars. We particularly liked Porto's in Bowness. All in all, we loved the area and the accommodation.

  What a wonderful week we had at Geltsdale Gardens.

  The perfect setting for peace, quiet & tranquility, which was just what one of us needed following a very difficult time. The ground floor setting, throughout, is ideal for anyone with mobility difficulties; even the front door & path are step free! Parking is right next to path too, which is also all level. Very well equipped apartment indeed; want for nothing. Beds are extremely comfortable; luxurious linen, towels & hand soaps/lotions. We had a small query, which the very accommodating owner was more than happy to instantly help us with - thank you. Geltsdale Gardens is a great place to relax & unwind or a base to explore the Lakes & over the border into Scotland. Highly recommend & certainly won’t hesitate to return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  We have a had a great stay at Stone Cross Mansion.

  We couldn’t fault any aspect of the accommodation - the building is impressive, the Myles suite was absolutely stunning, and the grounds really well maintained. It was spotlessly clean and we were provided with everything that we needed. What was really nice were the extras that were provided on arrival, such as bottles of water, milk, hot chocolate, biscuits, sweets - it was a lovely touch. The people that we spoke to from the mansion were all very friendly and helpful. The location was very good, with Lake Windermere and Coniston Water within easy driving distance, and Ulverston (with plenty of pubs and restaurants) a short stroll away. We would definitely recommend it, and intending to come back again in the future. Thanks for a great holiday.
