Michael November 2021

“Excellent apartment in a great location for exploring the Lakes”

- Michael, November 2021
Michael October 2021

“The apartment requires the instructions for the operation of the bathroom fan and heating to be made more readily available and easy to understand.”

Most other systems operation are self explanatory. The entry door to the apartment block could be confusing to individuals who are not adaptable or understanding. A net curtain at the front bedroom would be beneficial for privacy. Hope this helps, but as you can see we were very happy with the accommodation

- Michael, October 2021
Ruth September 2021

“Well presented and equipped property.”

Good venue from which to explore the southern Lakes.

- Ruth, September 2021
Pui Sze July 2021

“Had a great stay and the owners were very helpful.”

However, if you are sensitive to noise during sleeptime, earplugs would be recommended.

- Pui Sze, July 2021
Jay July 2021

“Very well kept apartment.”

Negatives? The email detailing how to enter was not really accurate. "PLEASE NOTE...... That due to the Government plan for easing covid-19 restrictions. The communal door is now not in use. There are two private entrances to Leven Reach situated at the front and rear of the property." The communal door is actually in use and needed to be used as we are only given that key. Also the fob only works while pulling the door first. The combination of the meant it took a while to gain access but once in , wow , such a nice apartment. Everything was clean and new . We would definitely come back for any South Lakes trip we do .

- Jay, July 2021
Stuart May 2021

“The apartment was clean, tidy and well thought out.”

Loved the little touch of fresh flowers, fresh milk, tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival and the luxury local toiletries throughout the apartment. Ideal location and importantly a parking space. Would definitely recommend it.

- Heather, October 2020
Colin October 2020

“Lovely flat in a good location for South Lakes, we would stay again.”

- Colin, October 2020
Karen October 2020

“The apartment is superb - can't wait to return.”

The quality of everything is top notch. Only downside was that the local restaurant and bar (part of the hotel as you approach the apartment) was only open to residents because of Covid so everything was a car journey away. However, that would not stop us returning - the place was immaculate. There was even a nice table and chairs outside so you could sit with your drink and listen/watch the river go by - perfect.
