Great location in the centre of Grasmere. It is the second time staying here and it’s well equipped with everything you need.

Location

Steps up to property, handrails need attention as loose paint goes into your hand.

The flat is situated in a great position in Grasmere, right in the centre and next to a playground too. The parking permit provided is very helpful. Overall it was pretty clean and the beds, sofas etc are all comfortable. The host responds really quickly to messages which we appreciated.

A big downside is the noise from the restaurant below. It is closed Sunday and Monday night, but on the Tuesday night it was very loud and kept the children awake. It was meant to close at 9pm but the music and noise continued until after 10pm. This makes it difficult to recommend to others with children or who want a quiet evening. Also it's important to note that the staircase up to the flat is incredibly steep metal stairs with a difficult rail for children to hold.

Location, space, layout of the apartment and facilities were good. The bathrooms, bedrooms, linen etc were clean. Oven was spotless. The huge bath was great for a soak after long walks. The car park permit was also great.

The kitchen cupboards, fridge needed a deep clean. The outside area was dirty. There were loads of cobwebs (that had been there for ages) around the front door. We sat outside on a few occasions but had to look at dirty eaves that had not been cleaned for months/years. The patio windows were also very dirty. The shower in the main bathroom didn’t get hot it was only warm. Several minor maintenance repairs were needed: Hook hanging off bathroom door, curtain hooks broken, picture/mirrors taken down and screws still left in the wall.
