Lovely 1 Bedroom Apartment

We've had such a lovely stay in this Apartment. It's in a great location with parking too! We did lots of hill walking during the day and enjoyed lovely strolls down to the Lakeside in the evenings - 5 mins walk! Previous occupants have said noise was an issue but it wasn't for us and we enjoyed some lovely sunshine so we had the windows open most of the time! I dropped to 4* for cleanliness due to cottages.com contacting us on arrival day to say a bed sheet/duvet cover needed to be changed - however the sheet/duvet cover both had stains on them but you could tell they had been cleaned well so it wasn't an issue for us but something the mgmt should take on board as constructive criticism. Could do with a leaflet in the info pack re the cooker/hob too. Great Apartment, Great Location and Definitey Recommend it!!
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025

The Apartment was a very nice place to stay, its near to all the restaurants and in walking distance of the Lake Windermere. The only problems we found was the traffic noise as the bedroom was facing the main road and the Electric Shower didn't work properly as it was either too hot or too cold. The mirror in the bathroom was too high for us to see in. however, a very clean nice modern place to stay.

Lovely little flat,everything you need for a short break.Clean & tidy comfy bed,plenty of storage. Only downside was being above the restaurant - noisy most nights from staff leaving.Occasional loud passers by also after closing time! Otherwise perfect base for the Lakes.

The Hollies is a lower floor flat above the Quarry rig shopping area.

The Hollies is a lower floor flat above the Quarry rig shopping area. It's is clean with plenty of space for two people. It is centrally located within short walking distance of all that Bowness has to offer. The parking instructions and location of the flat is not clear and could be improved. Further to this the instructions state that the parking is not designated but 'in the quarry rig parking area itself'. However if you turn right on entering the car park and drive behind the flats at the far end there is a designated parking slot for this flat. The number is on a plack on the wall. There is some road noise during the night and the flat is above a restaurant which closes around 11pm. The only issue we had was the low water pressure which affects the shower. Other than that it's a nice flat and an exellent centre from which to explore the area.

Location excellent but being above a restaurant was very disruptive at night times.

Location excellent but being above a restaurant was very disruptive at night times. 16steps to the front door isn’t ground floor which is misleading.

This was a great little apartment close to local amenities with the bonus of a parking space.

This was a great little apartment close to local amenities with the bonus of a parking space. We were there for the great north swim/run and it was ideal for local buses to and from the event. Easy access by car to all north and western Lakeland fells. Would definitely consider booking again.

Couple of minor issues - bedroom faces due East with light curtains, so light sleepers like me will

Couple of minor issues - bedroom faces due East with light curtains, so light sleepers like me will be woken very early. However that means more time to enjoy the lakes. Water pressure in the shower is relatively low. Other than these points it is a great little flat a short walk from the lakeside. There is a restaurant below the flat, but heard very little noise from it. Highly recommend this flat.
