8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Overall I was pleased with Leatheswater as a holiday let, but there are a number of simple additions which would change this from a 'good' let into a 'great' let.Positive Points:1/ Adjoined to the Hotel, so any issue easily resolved by contact with Hotel Manager, who was an excellent host. Recommend their breakfasts.2/ Great views of the Lake from the Let, and a good position for walks along the Lake and surrounding Fells.3/ Comfortable bed and modern shower room adjoined to bedroom.Negative Points:1/ Poor satellite TV (max. 15 stations only) and poor WIFI2/ Just enough crockery for two. Which means you cannot fill the dishwasher every time you use it. No tablets for dishwasher.3/ A plastic sink drainer and bowl would have been useful.4/ No breadboardIt is pity that with just a little thought and additional attention to detail, this could become a 'great' place to return to.

Comfortable first-floor flat, well-equipped and with a great view of the lake!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2020
Lovely positioned apartment with a view of Thirlmere.
Apartment was cosy and warm, but with sufficient space for just two of us.
The only downside was that we forgot to take dishwasher tablets and we couldn’t see any provided.
We would certainly use this apartment again.

We booked this property partly because it had a bath which is a treat after a long walk. However there was no bath and the photos of the bedroom and bathroom were not of Leatheswater as it is now. It was more like living in a hotel as we could hear our neighbours coming and going and doors banging.
Having said that we had everything we needed for a short stay and the location was beautiful, perfect for us.
