Guest Reviews

• Claire (10/5): Great. - Location Steps up to property, handrails need attention as loose paint goes into your hand.
• Christian (9/5): Great place - perfect location. We loved it. -
• Brendon (10/5): Excellent -
• Aine (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): -
• Lucy1234 (7/5): Central location but not ideal for young families - The flat is situated in a great position in Grasmere, right in the centre and next to a playground too. The parking permit provided is very helpful. Overall it was pretty clean and the beds, sofas etc are all comfortable. The host responds really quickly to messages which we appreciated. A big downside is the noise from the restaurant below. It is closed Sunday and Monday night, but on the Tuesday night it was very loud and kept the children awake. It was meant to close at 9pm but the music and noise continued until after 10pm. This makes it difficult to recommend to others with children or who want a quiet evening. Also it's important to note that the staircase up to the flat is incredibly steep metal stairs with a difficult rail for children to hold.
• LLOYD (9/5): - Great located smart apartment. Metal steps up to apartment
• Joanne (10/5): Great apartment, very well maintained and I would definitely stay here again - Property was in an excellent location and well maintained. Very private and secure
• Yongling (10/5): Good -
• Kelly (10/5): -
• Tricia (10/5): -
• Allison (9/5): Beautiful setting and great location, would return. - The property was in a great location, lovely furnishings and comfortable. Some moldiness and damp on windows and walls.
• Jane (10/5): - Delightful and comfortable holiday apartment. Tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. Great having two bathrooms ( both showers worked well when in use at the same time)! Lovely extras: tea, coffee, salt and pepper, oil, dishwasher tabs, loo roll and toiletries. Thank you for another enjoyable stay in beautiful Grasmere. Yes, there are metal steps leading up to the apartment but they are outlined in the description and are safe with handrails and good lighting. We had a little radio music drift up from the restaurant below but it was short lived and didnt inconvenience us in any way. Bonus to have one parking permit. Lovely private outdoor sitting area which must be great in the Summer. Many thanks Nothing!
• Martin (8/5): Peaceful and enjoyable stay. - Excellent location, cosy and comfortable place to stay. Well equipped kitchen with easy to use appliances. Overall it is a modern, clean, well equipped apartment. Outer gate swollen due to weather, made it difficult to open and close. No terrestrial tv. Mould on window blind in bathroom.
• jane (9/5): - We liked the location. Apartment quiet and parking not a problem. Warm and homely. Very clean. Steps to the apartment steep.
• Simon (8/5): -
• Alan (9/5): Great apartment in a beautiful village. - Very comfortable apartment with everything we needed. Clean and tidy with modern furnishings and lots of space. Was a little hard to find as there is no sign on the main street - for reference, it is above the pharmacy and Lewis's Bistro near the CO-OP.
• Les (6/5): We loved staying in Grasmere. The apartment location was The apartment however needs a good c - Location, space, layout of the apartment and facilities were good. The bathrooms, bedrooms, linen etc were clean. Oven was spotless. The huge bath was great for a soak after long walks. The car park permit was also great. The kitchen cupboards, fridge needed a deep clean. The outside area was dirty. There were loads of cobwebs (that had been there for ages) around the front door. We sat outside on a few occasions but had to look at dirty eaves that had not been cleaned for months/years. The patio windows were also very dirty. The shower in the main bathroom didn’t get hot it was only warm. Several minor maintenance repairs were needed: Hook hanging off bathroom door, curtain hooks broken, picture/mirrors taken down and screws still left in the wall.
• Vanessa (9/5): -
• Louise (9/5): Lovely comfortable apartment in a great setting. Would stay again. - Excellent location, lovely apartment with great views. V comfortable and good size for a family of four. Great customer service. Very minor issues rectified immediately including additional kitchen items.
• David (10/5): -
• alison (8/5): - Location and roof terrace Would have been nice to have salt and pepper.
• AdamF38 (8/5): - Nice spacious flat with 2 good size bedrooms and 2 big bathrooms in an excellent position in Grasmere. The flat is well equipped with a large kitchen. The large terrace is a big plus. A small supermarket is just next to the flat. A free parking permit is provided too. Noise from the restaurant under the flat can be clearly heard in the flat. This wasn't particularly problematic for us, though, as it closes around 10pm and was only open 2 days during our stay, and we were mainly out during the day. Access to the flat is up a metal staircase which may be difficult for those with mobility issues.
• Ignatius (10/5): Grasmere magic! - The property had everything you needed away from home, all delivered in the most beautiful setting! We often visit Grasmere and will definitely be back, location couldn’t be better! The 2 bathrooms came in very handy, including all the environmentally friendly body care and other cleaning products. Also, dishwasher and washer/dryer was s boon! Nothing
• Adriana (9/5): Friendly hosts and a well-located flat,perfect for a bank holiday weekend getaway - "The location of the property was excellent, and the place itself was cozy and very clean. The second double bedroom was a bit smaller than expected, but it was adequate for the duration of our stay
• Barbara (8/5): Very enjoyable stay and we would comeback - Location, space & two bathrooms and outdoor space. Noise from the restaurant below. Smart TV didn’t enable us to cast to our apps.
• Alan (8/5): Great location and good apartment - Excellent location. Lovely roof terrace which was a suntrap! Restaurant/ kitchen underneath the apartment was quite noisy after it had closed. Phoned down and asked them to be quieter and they did respond immediately
• Leanne (9/5): Superb - Spacious well decorated rooms, well equipped and great location.
• Hillary (8/5): Very good - The apartment is spacious and the terrace was a delight as the weather was so good when we were there. Who would have thought we’d be eating breakfast on the terrace in May. We had some problems and Laik were very understanding (see below) We had a few very minor problems with cleaning (e.g. coffee pot not emptied) but our main problem was the noise from the restaurant below in the evenings. We listened to clear renditions of Happy Birthday on three evenings and the music from the kitchen was so loud you could recognise the song. When the music stopped you could clearly hear talking - up to midnight on some occasions. Laik were very understanding but said they had never had any complaints before and directed me to the small print that does mention in passing that the apartment is above a restaurant. Laik did give us a £50 refund as a goodwill gesture ( we paid £1,590 for 7 nights) which was kind but the description of the property needs to make it clear that there is the possibility of noise from the business below.
• Sarah (10/5): Great located and spacious apartment - Great location and nice private terrace outside
• Belinda (9/5): Comfortable well furnished apartment in center of Grasmere. - Location was excellent. Everything we could need was provided. Bedrooms were comfortably furnished, and bathrooms were spacious and modern. Parking permit was provided for nearby parking lot. There is a flight of steep outdoor steps to access apartment. It was fine for us, but some people may not like that.
• Ashley (9/5): Lovely stay in one of the best apartments we have ever used. - Lovely quiet apartment with great views. The property was clean with good quality contents. The bathrooms in particular were outstanding. Grasmere is gorgeous and would return to both the village and apartment. The television often had no signal which was a little frustrating. Would advise the owner invests in a new vacuum cleaner.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Location.! Amenities
• Robinson (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was really nice and location is perfect for walking with multiple choices. The parking. Yes it was tight but manageable. The whole bin situation needs explaining up front. I moved my car and paid for parking, but it is unclear when you can bring car back. Which meant we started our holiday tied to moving the car. It was only a minor issue but an explanation up front would have made life easier.
• Paul (10/5): Lovely apartment with all the necessities for self catering! - Lovely decor and very clean, has everything you could possibly need for self catering! Loved our stay, great location and no noise from the below businesses either. N/A
• Sandra (9/5): Very enjoyable and comfortable few days stay. - Good sized bedrooms and large bathrooms. Very comfortable sitting area, nice well equipped kitchen and we enjoyed the outdoor space. Grasmere was a very central location for visiting other towns in the area. Outside stairs were quite steep and wouldn't suit everyone. TV had us pretty confused. Only 1 small supermarket in Grasmere. However it was literally below the flat so very close at hand. Parking access a bit tight.
