Levens is in a fantastic location for exploring the South Lakes. The 2 bedrooms are very compact. One of the bedrooms smelled damp so we slept in the other one. There were inadequate kitchen pans and utensils to enable us to home cook our meals. For example, no frying pan for breakfast. There was no welcome pack so don’t expect any tea bags, milk or bread. A part toilet roll was provided along with some washing up liquid, handwashing soap and 2 dishwasher tabs. The heating system worked well and kept us nice and warm and there was WiFi and Freeview TV.We had a fab stay. The local shop in Levens is well stocked and opens from 8am to 6pm daily (shorter hours on a Sunday). And, the Hare & Hounds Public house was amazing. We frequented it daily during our 4 day break. We ate in the Barn for my husband’s 65th Birthday and the food was amazing. We would happily stay in Levens again.

We had a lovely stay and it is so close to Kendel and Windermere so we could do lots of outdoor family activities. The apartment was lovely like home from home with a better view.

We were quite happy their.Some points of improvement-1) a teapot would be handy2) a few more hangers in the wardrobes are needed3) a small bedside table and lamp would be good in the back bedroom4) a couple of spare toilet rolls is always goodBut, honestly we had a good visit,no real problems at allThank you
