Holiday Reviews from the Owners’ site

"Apartment is excellent. Very well and thoughtfully equipped. Very relaxing aspect. Could watch the river for ages. Pity about weather... balcony would have been great!"

"A lovely region with a lot of walks to do and a tasteful apartment with a magnificent view. Merci pour le qualité de l'accueil."

"A wonderful apartment. Very calming by the river. Had a lovely week. Very lovely town to explore as is all the majestic countryside of the Lakes. Thank you. Hope to come back."

"Wonderful week, in every way – the balcony wins Gold Award! All so comfortable, even weather perfect. Warm welcome was nice. The apartment was perfect for us; central location, closeness to bus station (we buzzed about in the open-tops all over the place!), but above all the easy, informal comfort of the beautifully furnished apartment. The balcony made our visit feel as if we were abroad, in the sunshine, watching the river below! The friendly helpfulness shown by Paul and Doreen was much appreciated. Hope to be back!"

"Beautiful apartment with lovely views. Weather mixed but found plenty to do. Great zoo in Dalton-in-Furness worth visiting (50 min drive)."

"Very comfortable, stylish accommodation in a rural country town."

"Town, weather, Cumbria, apartment (and location) perfect. Long may it last!"

"Have enjoyed this weekend more than a week in Turkey. Thanks Iceland! Thoroughly enjoyed it"
