    This apartment is fabulous. I stayed here for one night to celebrate my 21st birthday and couldn’t recommend it more. A stunning property that has been designed so beautifully and in a perfect location within Windermere Village. The extras were such a lovely surprise, underfloor heating as well as smart technology with the lighting and speaker system, really make the experience very special. We will definitely be coming back!
