Sorry in advance for this lengthy review Even though the apartment was grand with beautiful high ceilings and some fitted furniture it wasn't the luxury we were expecting. It was very disappointing in most areas of this place some brought up in previous reviews which still haven't been rectified. If I'd have seen these reviews before I had booked I wouldn't have come here.People need to be aware that this owner is not bothered about putting things right.Still no working radiator or extractor in the ensuite making it damp with grouting getting discoloured no working extractor in the bathroom. Plaster covering a switch in main bedroom probably put there by a concerned guest.No wardrobe space in spare room and limited space in main wardrobe because it is filled with squashed in spare duvets. Drawers had games and hairdryer in.Settee had a foul smell like urine coming from it even after a wipe down.The cleaning was not great, dust webs galore, corners at all the windows were filthy and clothes were left behind some radiators which I left (sorry) not my job, looked like they'd been there ages.Cupboards in the kitchen could be better organised, it only needs 6 of plates, cups and glasses to make room for food storage, there were too many.I could go on more but it's such a shame it could be magical. No excuses for what's wrong here.Thanks for reading. Hope it helps others

Mishmash is in a lovely setting with fantastic views - the apartment is well appointed.The only quibble was the lack of basic supplies- no salt ,pepper or oil and the welcome pack was just a tea bag and instant coffee.Overall it was a good stay

We have been to Arnside many times but this is our first time at Mishmash. The location is amazing with clear views over the viaduct. It is particularly lovely sitting on the patio watching the world go by. The apartment is perfectly adequate for two couples sharing. Couple of issues which have been mentioned in previous reviews.-The towel rail in the en-suite is not working, yet the towel rail in the bathroom seems to be on all the time.-There is no wardrobe/cupboard in bedroom 2. I don’t see why this can’t be addressed as there is plenty of room to have a wardrobe or a chest of drawers. It would make such a difference. -There isn’t a great deal of storage in the kitchen for food supplies etc.Overall though, we had a very pleasant week.
