    Oak View Apartment was quite simply - amazing. Spacious and clean with everything we needed. The bed was soooo comfortable, which can be really hard to find in a holiday rental. The location couldn't have been more perfect, just around the corner from the lake and lots of lovely restaurants, bars and beer gardens literally steps away. Checking in and out was super easy and considering you're getting an entire apartment in a perfectly central location the value for money is excellent! The only thing people might need to be aware of when booking is there are quite a few stairs. Didnt bother us at all but worth knowing for anyone with accessibility issues. Overall we would highly recommend and will definitely be back if we get the chance!

    This is a great self-catering unit in the heart of the Bowness village looking over the Ash Street pedestrian mall. The first floor unit does have a two floor walk up from the lane behind it, but has a well equipped kitchen, lounge room, bedroom, large comfy bed, modern bathroom with plenty of hot water, good wifi, and easy self check-in using a keysafe at the entry door. There is no parking at the unit so, after dropping off the luggage, paid parking is available nearby at the Rayrigg Rd carpark for 10GBP/day or 22GBP for 3 days. We stayed 2 nights and could easily have stayed a full week.

    The only thing we didn't like was that we had to leave early as I had a fall at the lake (my fault completely).

    Position was really central, with a pub next door and and another across the road. Shops all very short walk away and the lake just down the street. Wonderful that on arrival there was tea and coffee milk and sugar. Level of cleanliness was excellent thank you 😊 will definitely stay again.

    Loved everything except “ no shower mat” - I have a balance condition, so it is a requirement for me.

    I was impressed by the brilliant instructions to locate the property inBowness ( I’m fairly local, visiting family). The apartment was as seen in the photographs and was perfect for a couple. The location was brilliant, right in the centre. The bed and pillows were probably one of the comfiest staycation beds I’ve ever slept in ( as good as my simba mattress at home). Very clean and well organised apartment. I’m we’ll definitely stay again. Worth every penny!

    The only thing is the toilet and shower is in the hallway as you enter the bedroom. It did not bother us but just a heads up if you are planning to book the place.

    I love that it is very close to the bowness pier where you can walk around and easily get into the ferry. A lot of shops and restaurants nearby as well.

    Parking is tricky but that was made clear to us, and can't be helped as the location is so central.

    Very clear and easy instructions to access the keys and property. The Health Club access was a great addition (sadly we didn't have time to try it on this stay) Provision of Tea, coffee and milk was a bonus too.

    We was provided a link for the self check in instructions, this was a big problem for us as the link would not open on our phone from the website. We had to get the link sent by SMS to read the instructions.

    The apartment was great and just what we needed with the little open plan kitchen and lounge. Nice and comfortable for our own small prepared breakfasts. Great location. Parking is best a little down the road, it is safe and quite cheap for 24 hours, we dropped our bags at the property and then went to park the car in the carpark.
