  We had a very relaxing time.

  The flat was very clean, beautifully decorated with lovely paintings and was very comfortable with every amenity provided for. The bed was large and extremely luxurious, so much so that we struggled getting out of it in the morning. The towels smelt lovely, please let us know what you use to wash them. The welcome gift pack together with the wine and the fresh flowers, especially the single rose on the bed were extra nice touches. Although we couldn’t park directly outside the property, there were safe parking areas free at the side of the road near the race course. Cartmel is a quaint village which you can walk around easily with a good small supermarket and other shops / coffee shops to buy refreshments and souvenirs. There are 4 pubs, one being directly across the road from Tower House however we didn’t experience any noise from there. We thoroughly recommend the Unsworth Brewery where you can have cocktails and craft ale and has an outside drinking space with heaters. There is also a restaurant, Oscars. We appreciate the building is grade 2 listed and sometimes there can faults with it which are hard to rectify. The shower flow was powerful however the drainage was slower to drain away and therefore had to keep turning the shower off mid way to let it drain. The basin hot tap shuddered and made a loud noise as if it had an air lock. However these minor details did not detract from the brilliant stay that we had at 1 Tower House. We would thoroughly recommend it and would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you for making our holiday special.

  We booked the apartment as we had a family wedding to attend in Grange in the evening of 26/06/21.

  Cleaner let us drop luggage off at 15.00 as travelled by train. When we entered at 16.45 we found the apartment was still not very clean. Mould in bathroom cabinet, black grime around shower cubicle and sink and dust and cobwebs throughout apartment. Bedding was not up to standard very crumpled and creased. The bunk bedroom had water coming through the ceiling and down the walls due to next door and there was scaffolding up and workmen constantly banging and making a noise. This was reported to Sykes as emergency call on 26/6/21 and case reference is COR-218057-CF. Owner did come and look at the leaking ceiling and walls as we put pans and bin to catch the water which carried on over 2 days. Owner did attempt to do a bit of a clean in bathroom and changed duvet. Owner left bottle of wine and biscuits as a gesture which was appreciated. The apartment could do with decorating and suspended ceiling removed .A new cleaner is also required. Once the problems had been tried to be dealt with we managed to remain in apartment for the full week but spent a very unrelaxed holiday. We also missed the wedding party due to the water coming through the ceiling as could not leave the apartment due to nobody coming to deal with the water until the following afternoon. Spent most of the night emptying pans and bin .

  This property is in a great location within easy walking distance of the racecourse and Priory and the town square with a vast selection of dog friendly pubs and restaurants, cafes and shops to suit every taste and budget.

  The interior of the property is tastefully decorated. The good sized living room and bedroom have a cozy, warm feeling to them and provide a home from home. We appreciated the many extra touches provided to add to the comfort of our stay. Thanks for the lovely bottle of wine and basic provisions to get us started. The owner answered our questions honestly when booking so we were prepared to deal with the fact that there was no garden or parking and the tiny shower room, off the galley kitchen. Slippers are needed but the shower worked well and the wide windowsill provided ample space to put bags containing our bathroom stuff which was easily reachable from the shower. Small bathrooms can be easier to negotiate and that proved to be the case here, albeit one at a time.These things did not detract from our stay, either for ourselves or our two Labradors who loved their holiday with regular walks around the racecourse , albeit sometimes in the early hours of the morning, (an extra evening walk after dinner solved that difficulty) and a choice of lovely dog friendly beaches and stately homes with extensive grounds to visit within easy reach. Overall this apartment provided excellent value for money and the residents parking permit provided for use during our stay proved invaluable.

  A great place in perfect location We took two children 2 and 6, they had Lego and train set at the apartment which was perfect!

  The apartment is in good condition, kitchen was a bit short of space not work top space as we cooked every day. I think for us the only issues were no washing machine. And the heating.. the thermostat is up very high within a sealed box so I don't think it gets a true reading, so it was cold throughout, heating only came on within the first night we were there, the rest of our week stay we were chillie. I turned every radiator on using the valve but the room temperature according to the thermostat was 21.5 but since it's high up it, Heat rises, so if your thermostat is very high up the wall it will give you an inflated reading and tell your boiler to cool the house down. About 5ft above the floor is the most common place to install your thermostat for an accurate average reading. Because it was a bit cold the towels wouldn't dry and we had to hand wash children clothes which took 3-4 days to dry. Thanks for allowing us to rent the apartment. God bless for all the future.

  Thank you Paula and Coert, your apartment is beautiful, and the lovely welcoming touch of the food and wine basket was much appreciated.

  The location and apartment are stunning and perfect for visiting the lakes and surrounding events, we had an excellent week, weather allowing of course. A couple of small things that would add greatly if possible to the experience, parking as you know can be difficult at popular times, if possible the temporary use of a local permit would be great, particularily for disabled clients, allowing parking closer to the property. If possible the addition of a clothes washer/drier would be a great addition if it can be fitted in, of great benefit especially in bad weather for walkers cyclists and others etc.. These are small additions that would be an attractive benefit enhancing visitor pleasure increasing the appeal of 1 Tower House facilities and add further to a very enjoyable visit. Thank you so much, 1 Tower House is now high on our favourite places list for the Lake District. Kind Regards Allan and Christine Gilchrist
