Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning how clean and well-maintained the space is.
The location is highly regarded for its easy access to Windermere and local amenities, with guests appreciating the proximity to tourist attractions and the quiet, safe area.
The apartment is generally found to be comfortable, with comfortable beds and sofas mentioned. However, some guests noted noise issues which affected their sleep quality.
Facilities are well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space for dining and entertaining. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as the need for a wardrobe in the second bedroom and better lighting over a mirror.
While guests mentioned a welcome pack and treats upon arrival, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard practice for every guest.

The mediaeval village of Flookburgh, located on the borders of the great Lake District and close to the shores of Morecambe Bay, makes an excellent base from which to explore this fascinating and stunning region. It is believed that the name of the settlement is derived from the locally obtained fluke fish. Flookburgh, which is now home to cockle and shrimp fishermen, was formerly a well-liked resting place for travellers coming from Lancaster across the dunes. The community has two pubs, a grocery store, a pharmacy, a post office, and two eating establishments. A short walk from the settlement is lovely countryside, including Humphrey Head, views of the bay with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. The Cumbrian Coastal Way also passes close by. Historic Cartmel, with its lovely Priory, well-liked racetrack, antique and gift stores, bars, and restaurants, including the Michelin Star-rated L'Enclume, is reachable in a few minutes by car or on a nice off-road stroll. The lovely Holker Hall mansion and gardens are just over a mile away, and just six miles to the north in Bigland you can go horseback riding. You can also visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which has a variety of hotels, eateries, shops, a pedestrian promenade, ornamental gardens, and golf courses.

It was spoiled slightly by heavy footed guests above us. Still, it was a great break. Clean and well equipped, with some nice touches. Just two things spring to mind, that there was no wardrobe for the second bedroom. And in the en suite, it needed a light directly over the mirror, for shaving. But overall it was very good. Mike

Very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were games and books and lots of local information for walks and attractions. This place is a great base to explore the southern part of the Lake District by car, on foot, by bus or you can take the local steam train (just 10 mins walk front door) up to Lakeside (southern tip of Lake Windermere) and either take a boat from there or take a walk in the surrounding area. The accommodation was in a safe, quiet area, next to the river with private parking and outside space to sit and eat.
