Elterwater Apartment Reviews

Kieron
Great apartment, great location. I would say the property photos dont do it justice. Highly recommend
Sharon
Lovely well equipped property, in a very good location close to town - had the essentials for us in parking right outside (my Mum canĂ¢??t walk far) and comfortable beds! The hill to town was not long but very step so be aware, took us 10 mins to walk but elderly people may struggle. We were already planning to drive and drop off my elderly parents in town so made no difference to us.
Paula
Ideal quiet location, close to the lakeside attractions and many restaurants and pubs. Apartment is very clean and spacious with seating area at the rear. Yes, the road leading to the apartment is steep and some may struggle, but we had a wheelchair user in our group so we decided to walk further up Lake Road and along Biskey Howe Rd and right into Craig Walk, this brought us to the rear of the property.
Emma
this is the second time i have stayed at the property, lovely place
Aveluy
Amazing location. Only a 5 minute walk to the waterfront, with choice of two grocery stores close by. Very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation. Well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms. The showers were excellent in both bedrooms. Very quiet.
Andrew
Well equipped apartment in excellent location
Dot
A very clean and tidy property.
Zilpha
We found the apartment very comfortable and warm, and in the main well equipped. Good value and in a central area close to the town centr. It was very quiet.
Julia
Spacious apartment in a good location
Ann
Comfortable and well appointed. We had no guest information which may have just been an oversight. Would have appreciated dishcloth, foil, cling film etc in kitchen. However, after saying that, we had a lovely holiday and would stay again.
James
Very spacious and well equipped apartment with great access to Bowness and Windermere
Paul
Very spacious and warm comfortable property in a quiet area. Many nice period features, high ceilings and bay window. Well equipped modern style kitchen. Beds very comfortable. Good bathrooms. Very close to shops (Tesco express not far and a Booths at Windemere station). A few minutes walk to Pier side area. Good local bus service. Note the short distance from the bottom of Helm Rd. to the property entrance is very steep. Good parking area to front. Very satisfied with our stay (April 2024).
Stan
Nicely situated in town. Very well equipped. Enjoyed a nice break.
Gillian
Position of the apartment is ideal . It is large and spacious.
