“The holiday property is done out very nice with attractive furnishings although the table wobbled quite a bit due to the uneven floor.”

There was also very little crockery meaning the dishwasher went on more often than needed. Unfortunately the weather was particularly bad whilst we were there and the central heating controller was not working. This was reported twice to Lakelovers, who said themselves it was like winter, but nobody ever arrived meaning we were left uncomfortably cold with a lot of wet clothes lying around.

“This was our third visit.”

The high standard of the property has been maintained. It remains very well equipped. A home from home. Thank you for the welcome pack. We enjoy the position of the property between Bowness and Windermere which means we can leave the car should we choose. The electric charging point is a good idea. We've had the lovely holiday in spite of the weather.

“First time staying in the apartment and would definitely return again, location was excellent for Bowness & Windermere.”

Clean and comfortable, lovely welcome pack for us and our little dog. Had a lovely relaxing stay

“Lovely apartment facilities are good and clean.”

Excellent position for what we wanted access to both Windermere and Bowness.

Victoria May 2024

“Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location, 10 minute walk each way to both Windermere and Bowness.”

Very well equipped with everything you could need for a short break and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Only 2 very minor gripes; 1) The internet connection isn’t good, you will struggle to watch catch up TV without buffering. 2) The noise from the flat upstairs was very loud, the family staying there the same week sounded like they were trying to bounce house bricks on the floor. Lots of loud banging which was quite annoying. Overall though, we had an amazing stay here.

Graham May 2024

“A well set up apartment and located centrally.”

Nice touch with basket of goodies. Unable to get EV to charge and gave up in the end as I had a hybrid otherwise it would of have become an issue. Found plenty of good places for eating out so no cooking. The Station at Oxenholme is still very good and went twice. Overall a very enjoyable week.

“Lovely apartment, beautifully maintained.”

Well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Good housekeeping. Excellent location. Had a wonderful week. Most importantly....dog friendly. Thank you.

Susan February 2024

“This is a lovely property with high spec fixtures & fittings at an exceptionally reasonable price.”

We would highly recommend its central location if you’re wishing to visit various locations throughout The Lakes. There is also a convenient bus stop outside the property if you’re wishing to explore further a field without the need of your car. We’ve had a fantastic week!

Debbie June 2023

“All very positive.”

The accommodation was fantastic, very clean, modern and very comfortable. Home from home. I could not find any fault at all. I didn’t want to leave when our break came to an end. We cooked in the lovely kitchen most nights. I would definitely stay again.

- Debbie, June 2023
Lynne May 2023

“Wonderful stay at this gorgeous property.”

Ideally located for Windermere & Bowness with lots of walks nearby. Was ideal for a couple with a dog, we had a great week. Would definitely recommend this property & we are currently looking to rent the whole property for a family get away.

- Lynne, May 2023
Ann May 2023

“Loved the property and location.”

Would highly recommend and would book again. Only small change would be, a seat at front of property and slabbed patio at rear instead of astroturf. Astroturf not ideal with dogs! That would make the property perfect. We 100% loved our stay x

- Ann, May 2023

Daren November 2022

“Excellent property, ideal for a couple and a dog.”

In a good location,ideal walking distance to Bowness or Windermere. I would say this is probably one of the best and cleanest dog property’s we’ve stayed in. The only criticism I would have is, you can hear every footstep from upstairs, however this wouldn’t stop us booking it again.

“Throw on bed was not very clean,otherwise no issues”

Philip August 2022

“Fabulous high spec, dog friendly apartment.”

..you don't get that very often! Pristine, comfortable and well appointed. Super comfortable, king size bed with crisp white bed linen and plenty of towels. Central location for restaurants and shops and not too far away from the mountains where we like to be. I would most definitely stay here again and would also look into renting the whole property for an extended family break.

- Philip, August 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Would recommend it for a larger family stay as lower and upper can be booked together for up to 8 people Property Owner
Caroline July 2022

“This is our second stay at lower sheriff.”

We love how it feels cosy yet spacious and has everything we need for a lovely stay. Walking in to a welcome packages such as shower goodies and wine and chutneys are small but really appreciated gestures. To give this place some constructive feedback I would say the bed is a bit small and would be better to go a little larger and a must could be to invest in better sound insulation as unfortunately you can hear everything from upstairs

- Caroline, July 2022
Steve June 2022

“Beautifully high specification apartment with everything a couple and dog would need.”

The location was great for exploring the Lakes, parking was easy and the entire property was extremely comfortable. We loved the comfortable bed, the fluffy towels, the heated floor in the bathroom, in fact we could find nothing wrong with it at all. Definitely recommend and maybe return to one day, thank you.

- Steve, June 2022
N May 2022

“The radiator in the en-suite is on all the time which is wasteful and unnecessary.”

I could not work out how to turn it off. Challenges getting in to the property on arrival (the cleaner had put the catch down on the Yale lock on Lower door) were handled very poorly by the agents.

Beautiful apartment in a great situation The parking is a bonus It would have been useful if the description mentioned the 2 steps down to the bedroom and step up to the bathroom

Excellent property really comfortably everything you need to hand and a lovely touch with the welcome basket the only thing that let it down slightly was when the guests upstairs can back you could them moving around but still 10 / 10 would highly recommend

- Chris, April 2022
Wendy April 2022

“This apartment is in a great location and has everything you need for a lovely stay in the lakes.”

Julie January 2022

“Fantastic ground floor dog friendly luxury apartment, a home from home, the owners have the apartment well equipped, fantastic easy to use shower, and the addition of the log burner to cosy up to, which is great after a long walk, our Cockapoo Spencer loved it!”

We will be back for another visit

A brilliant refurbishment. I could not find any negatives and that’s very rare.

Yvonne November 2021

“Absolutely loved my stay at Lower Sheriffs place, it was the perfect luxury break for me and my lovely labrador.”

The location is perfect and loved getting back from a long walk, putting the log burner on and cosying up with the dog and a nice book. Can’t wait to hook up again!

- Yvonne, November 2021
Gaynor November 2021

“We spent a week here and we couldn’t find a single fault.”

First class accommodation in pristine condition. Fabulous welcome pack not only for us but also for our dog. Bed incredibly comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and parking is safe and secure. The location is ideal as you are equidistant between Windermere and Bowness so a comfortable walk to both. Excellent restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Overall excellent accommodation in prime location. We’d return in a heartbeat x

- Gaynor, November 2021
Diane October 2021

“This is a beautiful apartment, well appointed, well furnished and comfortable.”

The kitchen is very well equipped. A lot of thought appears to have been given to the decor. We loved it. Its situation was perfect for us within walking distance of Windermere and Bowness. The parking space was a bonus. We will certainly book again.

- Diane, October 2021
Ruth October 2021

“The attention to detail in this lovely apartment was outstanding.”

The owners thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible, including nice little touches like a welcome hamper, which even included some treats for the dog. Beautifully decorated, great tech facilities, lovely back garden area, perfect parking and location a few minutes walk to both Windermere and bowness and a short drive to Ambleside. Loads of lovely walks nearby….what more could you want!

Helen July 2021

“A beautifully renovated place to stay, in a fantastic location sat right between Windermere and Bowness.”

Just a 10 minute easy walk in either direction to all the coffee shops, pubs and some great local restaurants.

- Helen, July 2021
Cheryl June 2021

“Found the apartment was in a great location near Bowness and Windermere.”

The apartment itself has been well thought out and all the facilities are top notch, this made our stay so relaxing. A lovely touch was the welcome basket for ourselves and one for the dog which went down really well. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
