The shower was broken so it spoilt our trip they did try to fix it but ... The shower was broken so it spoilt our trip they did try to fix it but couldnt so had to wash in sink which wasnt very nice we left a day early sad as we did have things booked for Mothers Day

Beautiful property spotlessly clean. Perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at Bluebell Hill! The property is immaculate and in a fantastic location, we will definitely be returning! Thank you!

The flat was very clean and equipped with everything needed, its rare to have such a well equipped kitchen and the whole place was very well presented. The bed was not good, its a small double4ft and is far too small for a comfortable stay, its should state that its a small double in the ad, this would have influenced our decision to stay. The shower is broken and its a pain to shower and continually adjust it simultaneously. There really is no reason it should be broken, its been flagged in the guest book several times for some time and needs to be addressed. Fridge is far too small, not everyone eats out all the time and there was enough space for only essentials. We took food with us which wasted as we couldnt store it.

Bernadette

We have stayed here before and like it very much. It is small but very well equipped and wonderfully central. We very much would like to return as many times as we could as soon as we can!!

Clean and comfy flat, it had everything that we needed. Will return.

A lovely little apartment right in the heart of Bowness! The location is perfect, a few steps down and you are opposite the John Peel Inn and next to Beatrix Potter, and a parking space is great to have! We stayed a week and as the weather was dreadful for 3 days we spent a little more time in the apartment than we had hoped! Considering that, if we stayed again it would be for a shorter time or we would book larger accommodation. Its a great apartment, nicely decorated and good use of space

Paiton

Me & my boyfriend absolutely loved our stay here for our 1 year anniversary getaway. The place was absolutely spotless when we arrived & we had everything we needed already on the apartment for us. The location of the apartment was perfect & exactly the kind of place we wanted to be. Only downsides were parking in the car park at the top of a very steep hill & having to then walk up down it, to & from the apartment & my car. I have a physical disability & was struggling with this so ended up parking at the bottom of the hill outside our apartment with my blue badge up, hoping not to be in anyones spot. All seemed fine & no one mentioned anything about me being there. The shower head pressure was also very soft & it was a bit more difficult washing shampoo out of my hair etc compared to being anywhere else, but I adapted to it & got used to it for the week. Everything has been amazing during our stay & we highly recommend couples staying here. The bed was also super comfy! Thank you to the host for such a pleasant stay

Claire

What an absolute treat staying in this lovely home from home apartment. Spotlessly clean and tidy with a very cosy welcoming feel. The beds are extremely comfy with fresh crisp bedding, it had everything we needed and the location is ideal. Just perfect highly recommend we would definitely return.

Beautiful apartment well presented, immaculate and well equipped with everything we needed. Perfect location right in the heart of BownessOnWindermere we had a lovely week thank you

A beautiful place to stay and so in the middle of everything

Gillian

A well furnished apartment in a very good location It was very clean and tidy. No communication was given near our date of arrival so I had to search back to my original boking to find information on where to park and key codes etc if you book do not delete that email! The apartment is nice but is smaller than it looks on photos. It was fine for us family of 4 for a few days but think 4 adults would find it too snug possibly. We also had no hot water during our stay. I didn't have time to ring them to let them know as I wanted to enjoy my holiday and not have to spend time sorting this out. A number to text might be handy to have rather than the landline of a caretaker. The bathroom is ok but no toiletries provided. Hand soap would have been nice it's not something I tend to take on holiday. The shower unit is also quite small and the shower is poor with not good water pressure. I would stay again but for the price could probably get somewhere a bit bigger.

Amanda

Great location, comfortable and very clean. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay, the location was perfect for us with a small child, the very short walk into Bowness made it easy to see all the sights and get to cafes and restaurants even in the rain! The apartment is not the biggest and there is no view from the balcony but it is very cosy true to photos, the cleanliness could not be faulted and has all the amenities you need for a weekend break, the parking space so close to Bowness is also a bonus. Overall we would highly recommend this property.

The property listing states there is a fridge however this is not true, the property has a small drinks cooler tucked away in a cupboard which causes it to overheat and produce a vile smell. On arrival I had to ask someone from maintenance to come and check the fridge as the smell was that bad, he ended up removing the cupboard door to stop the fridge from getting so hot. The fridge needs to be replaced with a proper fridge that is fit for purpose. The property could of done with a good clean which was disappointing as on a recent review the owner says the property has been deep cleaned, yet we found the work tops and floors to be dirty and also there was blood on the bed sheets. If bed sheets are blood stained BIN THEM, don't wash them and hope no one will notice. I was also a little disappointed after a 2 hour drive to arrive and there be no toilet roll supplied at all. The location is good, literally 2 minutes walk into Bowness, and the apartment itself is quite nice so if the above issues were addressed I would stay here again.

Fab location little balcony lovely. Generally clean & tidy. The fridge isn't a fridge it is inadequate especially as the listing is for 4 people. You would really struggle. For the love of God. The actual cupboard would take a larder fridge put one in. The fridge stank. I did ring and tell the letting agent. Cleaned it out with bleach. Marginally better. Grease on tiles in kitchen under toaster lots of crumbs. Debris under sofa. Beds comfy linen good quality & spotless. Bathroom compact but clean and with a cracking shower. Apart from the fridge would use again. Nobody wants warm champagne do they?

Stephen

Overall a good holiday apartment, with everything we needed. Very comfortable with easy access to restaurants and bars and a 5 minute walk to lake Windermere. Unfortunately the apartment doesnt have a allocation parking space and the car park at the top can be very busy . The fridge in the kitchen is very small , apart from that we enjoyed our stay and would book again . The bonus is the balcony very nice .

Daniel

Really nice little apartment near Bowness Lake

The property was beautiful maintained and decorated. The location was perfect for myself, in walking distance so many facilities and restaurants. In Bowness On Windermere. Important for me who was travelling by myself, was feeling safe in property , and I did feel very safe and comfortable in the apartment. Its not a major issue but would like large bath shower towels . Other than that excellent place and service .
