About this apartment rental
This apartment is the converted servant's quarters of a gentleman's residence in the heart of one of Lakeland's prettiest villages, and just along the lane from L'Enclume - one of the very few UK restaurants with three Michelin stars. It offers a chance to forget the car, or use as a base to discover all the Lake District has to offer - Lake Windermere is a 15min drive away. The flat is not overlooked, and the main bedroom overlooks Cavendish St, just along from the famous arch, yet offering peace and quiet as we're at the top of the house, and above street noise. You can sit on the windowseat and just watch the world go by! Our living room has fab views, over to the smallest National Hunt racecourse in Britain.
Eat at the dining table inside, and observe the world around you as you gaze over the rooftops, and down onto our courtyard. This stone walled yard is for your exclusive use, and has a garden sofa and chairs for al fresco dining, a bench seat, and there are cushions and more chairs in our stone store - again for your exclusive use. So if you fancy soaking up the sunshine after a day's walking; a read with a glass of wine, then this is the perfect spot. The en suite master bedroom with kingsize bed looks out towards the Priory. Just off the village square, and adjoining the famous arch, the apartment is seconds away from great pubs, just along the lane from the UK's top restaurant, three Michelin starred L'Enclume, and an array of village shops. You can BBQ in the courtyard - the property's enclosed English Garden patio is your's alone to enjoy. Yards away is the racecourse and footpaths over the Fell are just beyond. The apartment retains bags of character, with beamed ceilings (and walls and floors!),. It's beautifully kept, and has had new kitchen, bathrooms, and refurbed bedrooms all in the last four years. Bed1 had new handbuilt furniture made and installed during summer '20. There's unlimited WiFi; flat screen TVs, with all catch up services on living room smart TV, and Alexa in there too! Integral DVD player in Bed1, and an Echo dot. Outside in the yard, as mentioned, is our store house to accommodate your bikes/outdoor paraphernalia. Well behaved dogs welcome by arrangement.
Parking restrictions have been introduced in the village. Alison can give you further details. There is a large race course car park (chargeable) about a thirty second walk away. And we have a parking permit we can loan during your stay, by arrangement
Other bits we'd like you to know: We've had lovely feedback about our place, and lots of repeat bookings. It's kept in beautiful condition. Some of our guests have come for lots of long weekends, others have had the place for six weeks at a time - we're really flexible on what we offer.
We do ask for a returnable, good housekeeping bond, depending on season, but usually £150, payable on key release, via bank transfer.
It's warmed by smart electric heaters. There's also a log stove effect fire in the living room, and heaters and towel rads in the bathrooms.
Full instructions on how to work everything, and where to find things, will be waiting for you. Alexa in the lounge; and Echo Dot and DVDs for Bed1; board games, cards, books, guide books and OSmaps are all left for your perusal.
And you'll find extra touches throughout the flat, to make your time at our place go smoothly and leave you wanting to come back again - hopefully !

Fabulous place , great town , parking could be a pain , but we were lucky, we found a space each time we came back to the apartment … nothing should be made clear at the time of booking , if you want two bedrooms making up , if there is only two of you , (it’s an extra 20 to have the second bedroom making up ) only my thoughts but if you good a two bedroom apartment , that’s what you should get , also if there’s only two of you you don’t get bathroom towels !!! Just saying !!! Never had this before in any of the properties I’ve rented before ….. in saying all this , the apartment is lovely , beds lovely and comfy , and the owner was delightful , kept in touch the whole time

This apartment hits you as soon as you walk through the door,very well modernised and clean/fresh and well looked after.It could not be in a better position in this beautiful little village that is steeped in history.Everything that you would need is in the apartment and then their is all the wonderful countryside on your doorstep, four really good pubs to spend the evening in and some interesting shops too,the racecourse is a five minute walk away which can just be seen across the rooftops from the lounge window.highly recommended.
