    “I thought that the property required decoration throughout as walls/doors looked dirty.”

    The floors were dirty and it took four buckets of water to clean it, on arrival. There was black mould on several window frames. The downstairs bedroom smelt of damp. There were mould spores on the corner and back wall , right hand side of the bed, which I had to wipe. There needs to be a slabbed area under and around the hot tub as it was extremely muddy/Slippy when removing and putting the top on and off. As much the ducks and the sheep are a delight to see it is not good that they can come ...

    The floors were dirty and it took four buckets of water to clean it, on arrival. There was black mould on several window frames. The downstairs bedroom smelt of damp. There were mould spores on the corner and back wall , right hand side of the bed, which I had to wipe. There needs to be a slabbed area under and around the hot tub as it was extremely muddy/Slippy when removing and putting the top on and off. As much the ducks and the sheep are a delight to see it is not good that they can come onto the lounging area around the hot tub as I had to wash the slabs on several occasion due to excrement which is not hygienic. I feel that saying walking into windermere on bowness is walkable is not fully correct as the roads without footpaths can be dangerous, especially if staying with children or older relatives and people would need a degree of fitness to master the uphill walk when coming back.Overall as a family we enjoyed our stay as the setting was beautiful and having the hot tub was a fabulous asset. Due to its vicinity however we would not return or recommend.
