After a slightly shaky start (the info sheet we were sent had the incorrect address for the office where we needed to collect the apartment keys), we were pleasantly surprised by the location of the apartment - right in the middle of town and just a 2 minute walk from either a Co-Op or Tesco Express, so stocking up on supplies is never a problem. Lake Windermere is just a 5 minute walk away, and you can walk to the ferry crossing in about 20 minutes. The fact that there is a parking space/garage provided is an absolute godsend for such a busy tourist town. If you get tired of the touristy shops and fancy a bit of 'proper' retail therapy, Kendal is just 20 minutes away by car.
The apartment itself is bright, airy and surprisingly spacious. I was worried about feeling claustrophobic in a 3rd floor flat, but felt instantly at home. The apartment name is very apt as there is a lovely view over the tree tops towards the lake. While we were there we saw the Red Arrows fly down the lake - right out of the living room window! There are flats opposite, but you don't feel overlooked. We arrived on a Saturday and it was rather noisy that night due to the nearby proximity of a few busy pubs. Every other night we were there was, however, much quieter.
The living/dining room is very cosy, with large comfy sofa, TV, DVD player, stereo and (most importantly!) wi-fi. The kitchen (which gets the sun in the morning) is modern & functional with oven, microwave, hob, kettle & toaster, as well as all the cooking & dining equipment you'll need. The bedroom has a comfortable (if a little soft) bed, with a choice of duvets available (this was much appreciated as it was unseasonably warm during our early September stay). Iron, ironing board and hairdryer are also provided. The shower room is compact but well laid out, with a full-size shower cubicle and small sink. The separate toilet is, however, rather small, so I would imagine that anyone of a 'larger stature' might find it a bit of a squeeze.
The only real issue we had was that we did not realise that we had to turn the hot water on when we got there, so we returned from a 15-mile walk to no hot water for a shower!
Overall, we had a brilliant time and would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again. Clean, spacious and in an unbeatable location.
