"The apartment was perfect, exceptionally clean, quality furniture, equipment, crockery and linen and delicious biscuits!"
Providing blankets for the balcony was lovely enabling us to sit out in the evening enjoying the river view but stay cosy. The only very minor point, is the description said a Nespresso coffee maker, which it is, however it doesn't seem to be a domestic one that you can buy pods for. We have a Nespresso at home and bought our favourite pods which didn't fit. However as there was also a cafetiere we used that towards the end of the week when we ran out.

"The property was excellent in every way from location to maintenance."
Suggest a few more crockery and cutlery items so as not to need to run the deshwasher so often. Good to see a property with new, firm, upholstered furniture. We had trouble getting into the dustbin and in fact didn't manage it - did we miss some instructions? Dropped one point on "facilities & maintenance" because of this.

"Brilliant holiday apartment."
It's clean and modern, yet homely enough for you to settle in quickly. It's got everything you could wish for. It's great for relaxing on the balcony watching the river go by, or as a spring board to the Lakes. I'd book again.

"Our 4th stay here and it was as perfect as ever!"
! We will be looking to book again for 2025 as soon as possible because we love it! This was our first time staying in summer- the only feedback we could think of was a fan in the bedroom would be a great addition for the summer months.

"Amazing property very well maintained modern and everything you need in the apartment to make for a wonderful stay."
Great welcome pack. The setting is outstanding. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Owners left lots of interesting information for things to do locally. They were very reassuring with contact numbers to use if assistance was required. Loved the personal welcoming card so many little touches.just helped to make it a special place to stay to relax and enjoy the Lake District.

"It was our third visit to this lovely first floor apartment overlooking the River Leven and trees."
We had 5 days sunshine. It is very well appointed, cosy and the owners Michaela & Gary maintain it to high standards, which is why we enjoy returning to stay. Little extras like milk, tea coffee, sugar, biscuits,cleaning products and the personalised welcome card. Also the gorgeous hand, shower gel and body lotion. The area is peaceful with lots of local walks straight from the door. It’s also ideal for exploring by bus, just a short walk away.

"This was a return visit to Leven View and we weren’t disappointed."
There was a lovely welcome gift waiting for us and as expected we found the apartment spotlessly clean and comfortable with every facility you could wish for. Ideally situated for exploring the Lake District, we had another lovely week and will be sure to return.

Apartment was very clean and comfortable . Thank you

"Upon arrival the apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and a well appointed kitchen with biscuits on arrival."
The immediate vicinity was quiet and peaceful, just sound of the river and pleasant view from front and rear of the property. The apartment was situated within easy walking distance of the bus stop, and the Stagecoach service gave us access to various parts of the district. We enjoyed the woodland walks full of bluebells, ferns & trees. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to go again.
-
"Fantastic modern clean apartment perfectly situated for exploring the south Lakes."
The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed and we really appreciated the welcome pack of tea and biscuits on arrival. Would highly recommend for a relaxing break in the Lake District.
-
"Lovely modern apartment which was very clean and comfortable."
Has two balconies. The rear one overlooks the river and gets the morning sunshine. Unfortunately the almost constant traffic noise took the edge off the enjoyment. Other than that very pleased. Took the steam train (only a short walk from the room) to lakeside and The boat along lake Windermere. Motor museum and aquarium close by. All in all an enjoyable week.
-
"Absolutely amazing stay, will definitely be going back to Levens view, fantastic!"

"We spent a fantastic week at Leven View."
The location was perfect for exploring the southern lakes and the outlook from the apartment was beautiful. The apartment was was immaculately clean, modern and beautifully appointed and everything was provided for a comfortable stay. The bed was extremely comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend.

"Great base for exploring the Lake District."
Property was warm and welcoming and with great facilities to use. Built in sympathy with the local environment and heritage; there was also a choice of two lovely balconies to access and sit outside if needed. It was lovely seeing the steam train pass each day on its way to Lake Windermere. We were blessed with good weather so this was a great base to use. The owner was also very kind and helpful when we needed advice about something. Would highly recommend this property to anybody.
-
"Had a great stay in a lovely property, really nice to be able to relax on balconies taking in the views, property spotless with everything you need for a relaxing holiday."
-
"Leven View is a great property to explore the Lake District."
The apartment was great - the tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival were a nice touch - would return when coming back to the Lake District - we didn’t need to contact the owners as everything was immaculate!!!!
-
"Excellent property - very clean with great facilities."
Really good linen and towels which distinguishes it as well. Kitchen well equipped if you want to cook. Well placed for the South Lakes. Nice touches with the card and biscuits as well. Happy to recommend and would be pleased to return.

"First time in the Lake District and absolutely loved it."
Apartment was so modern and clean. Everything we could have wished for and more. Fantastic location for exploring the lakes . I didn’t want to leave the lovely apartment. Felt so relaxed after our visit and would recommend highly. Will be booking in the future.
-
"Good base to explore the area."
Michaela and Gary left a lovely welcome pack in their immaculate apartment plus tea, coffee milk etc. which was very much appreciated. There is fast EV charging at Booths in nearby Ulverston.
-
"Accomodation was a bit smaller than we expected but a perfect base for doing things in this area."
There were two heat detectors in the livingroom/kitchen area and everyday they went off even though we had the extractor fan on & every window & balcony door open, regardless of whether we were making a slice of toast or a meal in the oven. I know legislation dictates where and how many detectors there are but they are extremely sensitive.
-
"Comments left for owner of ways in which the property experience could be improved, and hopefully they will action some of them."
None left for Sykes because if they are in the least bit negative then Sykes do not publish feedback, so therefor a waste of time.
-
"Leven View is a fantastic apartment for two people."
The owners make themselves available if you have any problems; e.g. where is the cutlery drawer :) The little gifts left for you on arrival are also very much appreciated. The apartment is ideally situated for exploring the Lake District, but also allows you to access local walks from your doorstep. Inside, it is immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. The two balconies are a bonus. The only negative is the road noise on the back balcony as it takes away the serene sound of the running river water. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend this place if you are a couple and need a good base for a holiday to the Lake District.
-
"Had the most amazing week in the Lake District."
This apartment is perfect for a couple who are exploring Cumbria/the lakes! The owners had thought of everything, and left some flowers and little bits to make our stay comfortable even from the moment of arrival
-
"This was a lovely place for a holiday the apartment is really lovely especially having the two balconies the lovely welcome of the special biscuits , flowers milk in the fridge and tea and coffee and the hand written card and the lovely toiletries were lovely touches it is a bonus having your parking space we hope to return again it was so quiet and really relaxing."
Thankyou Michaela & Gary.

"Leven View was well appointed & well looked after."
It was modern & comfortable & felt home from home. Nice touches like fresh flowers & a box of biccies was appreciated. Seating & bed was very comfortable & a large TV with amazon prime was welcomed. The owners had obviously chosen carefully on its decor & soft furnishings & maintained everything to a high standard. 2 verandas front & back we're nice & used the back (facing the river) more. There is some road noise but it didn't detract from the overall pleasantness. Leven View is one of the best self catering properties we've stayed in & wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you Gary & Michaela.

"We sent 5 days in the apartment in October and without doubt it exceeded our expectations."
Everything was new and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the sheets and towels were very high quality. The kitchen is very well equipped and the owners had left some milk in the fridge, tea bags and coffee pods for the Nespresso machine, and some lovely biscuits for us when we arrived.
