2 Birkhead Reviews

Amanda
This is one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. It lived up to the photographs not all places do It was spacious, very comfortable and well equipped. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to friends and family.
Claire
This was our second visit to No 2 Birkhead in as many months. Firstly, the apartment is incredibly spacious and comfortable. The photos do not do it justice really, and although we were staying there as a couple, it would be a great property to share with someone. The absolute highlight though, is the location. There are stunning views from virtually every window. Its a 510 minute walk from a lovely tearoom small shop and a great pub, and about a 10 minute drive from both Windermere and Ambleside. We will definitely be back again, I cant wait for our next trip!
Wonderful and spacious accommodation with a spectacular pastoral view. We were travelling as six adults and enjoyed our stay here immensely. Would not hesitate to recommend if you are looking for a place on the southern Lake District that is close to, but not in, the more commercial centres.
Property was ideally situated in a lovely village. The apartment was fantastic very clean and had everything that you needed. Rooms were spacious and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
Jeanette
Property was lovely. Very clean, very well equipped and beautiful views from the lounge and kitchen windows. My only criticism would be too many cushions in the bedrooms not needed Would definitely return when we need a large apartment for the family. Thank you
