Victoria Apartment, Derwent House

Clean, cozy, quiet

The place is nice and tidy, but perhaps a bit delicate when you come in dirty and wet after a hike in the mountains.

Very quiet village, excellent location for touring round the lakes. Good parking. Property was lovely. Well equipped and very comfortable.

Only negatives were the noise from upstairs (you hear every step) and there was no tea towel. But having read previous reviews I took ear plugs so managed to block out most of the noise.

Property was spotless, very modern, comfy beds and great location. Aimee was extremely helpful and a great host who responded very quickly.

En-suite in this apartment would have been perfect for a 4 adult stay.

The village is quiet and near to other main hubs of activity (Keswick, the different Lakes, etc). The surrounding area is absolutely stunning - every drive, every walk, every turn lead us through a landscape of humbling mountains, fresh rolling fields, and stunning tranquil lakes. Even going to the supermarket was scenic! The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with modern conveniences and helpful instructions for how to use the appliances. The host replied to contact promptly, politely and helpfully. Including fans in the bedrooms was a great choice and they were gratefully used since we had such glorious hot weather.

Unfortunately, through no fault of the hosts I understand, the WiFi dropped out on us on our very first morning and didn't work for the following 3 days. I did contact the host and she explained that she was working on the issue, but it seemed to be bigger than they anticipated. I believe she did her best to fix the issue, but it was a shame since I had some work to do on my laptop and wasn't able to, and it limited our ability to crash out with a movie in the evenings. The phone data coverage also was not strong (3) for me so this didn't offer an alternative option. Also, the sound proofing between ourselves (2nd floor) and the floor above meant we didn't hear them talking but we could very clearly hear people walking about. I would have appreciated an option for a summer duvet, but that was specific to the glorious heatwave we ended up having while we stayed up there!

very comfortable and well equipped, clean and met our needs.
