Great well equipped apartment. Great location. Ideal base for the lakes. Only downside was the bins hadn't been put out previously so we struggled. Great walk into Milnthorpe through the trees and then down to Great pub. Torches supplied.

We enjoyed our stay at Dunlin Haven. The apartment is very comfortable and the sunsets over the Cumbrian hills are spectacular. We were fortunate to have sunshine everyday and made full use of the patio area at the back which provide welcome shade in the evening. I have only given 4 stars for the comfort and equipment purely because we found the oven difficult to regulate as the numbers have faded on the control dial. We enjoyed a number of walks along the beach and in the woods at the back of the property.
