We had a fabulous week at Riverview Apartment and couldn’t really fault it’s facilities. It was an ideal base for exploring the southern Lake District, which was what we wanted to do. The apartment complex was quiet and easy to find. We would definitely consider re-booking if we ever wanted to visit the are again.

Lovely modern apartment

Overall great space and facilities. Bed was quite small and perhaps sugar and tea bags can be provided. Would stay again if going to the area in the future.
