To unwind you have complimentary use of the shared indoor swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna and gym and if you want to take a break from cooking, there is an on-site restaurant offering dine in or food to takeaway.

There is also a giant outdoor chess / draughts board, games room with table football, a pool table, cinema room (with popcorn machine), Playstation room, outdoor play area, 9-hole putting green and an 18-hole mini golf course. The apartment is within easy travelling distance of Ullswater, Keswick and Windermere and is a great base to explore the Lake District, especially if you’re looking for hotel amenities with the flexibility of self-catering.
