Overall, great location but accommodation disappointing and overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Parking across the street just as described. Only waited a few minutes for a space. £8 a day not too bad. However, whilst we paid £24 for three days parking in a public car park, on the day of check-out we were requested to vacate the parking space by 11an. So ckearly thete is some on- site parking but not for all.

The Wall Street apartment, at the top of the building, up several flights stairs definitely a two-person apartment - not as big as suggested in online images. Headroom was restricted in several places, not least the toilet and the bathroom sink, banged head a couple of times.

Lighting may be energy efficient but it’s quite dim all round. Struggled to read a book n bed. Also, there are two neon lights in the hallway/bedroom that just randomly came on and off a few times in the night - very annoying.

Operating the shower was a fine art, to get the balance between freezing cold and scalding hot. Also, there are no power sockets anywhere near a mirror, so if likely to use a hairdryer - bring your own mirror

Great location, but not worth the price.
Pros:

Modern. Lovely decor. Bed was large and very comfortable. Modern kitchen. Fantastic location.

Cons:

Not enough sockets next to the bed nor any usb’s. Where you hang your clothes, they draped over the bedside table and light. Lighting was poor in the bedroom to do make-up. Bathroom shower drain smell was unpleasant. Large shower tray, but was cut down by a third due to the shower curtain. Water pressure wasn’t great. Lastly, if you’re a very large person you might struggle trying to sit on the toilet, it’s very tight.

Style over substance.
Pros:

Very comfy bed and sofa, Good location for the town and buses. Good parking although this is paid parking not provided by the accommodation.

Cons:

Need some basics like coat hooks for wet clothing, t towels, oven gloves, dishcloths and clothing storage. Its a little style over substance.

Very comfortable and authentic
Pros:

The bank managers office had some nice little touches to make it feel different to a standard apartment, having access to the local spa was also an additional benefit for a rainy day. The bed was very comfortable and the whole apartment was very clean.

That something special @
Pros:

From the initial message from the owners with a massive amount of information, to the front door, the inside aesthetics and the sheer size and amenities within the apparently. The place was better than staying in any hotel room or dated floral converted accommodation . The place just felt Special

Cons:

The place had 2 showers and both temperature controllers didn't work. One was too hot, one 2 cold. I informed the owners so they can get it fixed for the next people but I would have liked this to have been picked up before we arrived as one of the issues was very obvious .

Perfect location
Pros:

The apartment is in an excellent location in the center of Bowness. There are numerous cafes, restaurants and shops on the doorstep and Lake Windermere is a 5 minutes stroll. The apartment is very tastefully furnished with lovely big comfy beds and beautiful bathrooms.

Pros:

Good location, generally nice quiet apartment with well equipped kitchen. The beds were clean and comfortable. The theme and history of the place is interesting and made it a quirky place to stay

Cons:

The apartment seemed a bit tired. Bedrooms are quite dark, there are some things which need to be repaired or just maintained a bit better (I'll contact the host with the issues)

Gem of a find!
Pros:

Good refurbishment of an old bank with lots of nods to its past industry. Great location. I did sort private parking prior to my stay. So many luxury touches, particularly lighting. Cinema size tv. Easy entry.

Cons:

Could have had a bigger French press. That’s all.
