"Stayed for a week, apartment was exactly as what was to be expected!"
Very clean and had those extra touches to make it feel like a home from home! Grounds were beautiful and stunning views, my eldest loved the binoculars! Only thing I would say is that the radiators were set to a max of 19-20 degrees which we felt at times was a little on the cooler side especially with a 2 yr old and for the time of year! Would have been nice to have given it a blast then maintained at a lower temp!

"Having stayed at this property before, we booked again and it doesn’t disappoint, apart from a few issues which need looking at."
We did raise these issues with sykes, during our stay, which are things which need fixing or looking into: Loose Rubber surround on oven, Suspected loose seal on living room window due to flies filling the space between & a few flies found in carpet in bedroom(twin bed room), smelly fridge when opening it (not clean), a few utensils in drawer hadn’t been cleaned properly and stashed back in drawer, not sure if bed springs on other bed (double) had gone?? Issues raised to Sykes customer support - x2 calls ‘received’ from Sykes - no follow up, whilst staying at the property.
Good afternoon and thank you for your feedback. We were alarmed to hear that there were a few issues which you raised with Sykes, as we were not made aware of them. Although we generally stay ourselves at the property at least once a month, we rely on guest feedback to make us and Sykes/Lakelovers aware of any problems. Lakelovers have now visited the property and investigated the issues raised. The rubber surround on the oven is being replaced. The cleaner has been made aware of your comments regarding the fridge and drawer utensils. Regarding the flies - we understand that a number of Lakelovers properties are experiencing this issue just now which we understand is due to warm temperatures and not loose window seals. We could ask contractors to fumigate, but as this involves chemical agents which we prefer to avoid, as the problem appears to be relatively low level, and as we are assured it is a widespread natural phenomenon which should pass shortly, we would prefer to keep this under review. The cleaner will of course remove any flies found during cleaning. Regarding the bed - as I have confirmed, we stay at the property at least once a month and use both beds. On our last stay which was just before yours, there did not appear to be any problems and Lakelovers investigation did not find any broken springs but we will of course keep this under review. The mattresses are relatively new and were John Lewis top of the range when purchased. Thank you again for your feedback which helps us to keep standards high, although on this occasion Sykes communication was not what it should be - something which we have stressed to them must not happen again. I can see you have booked again to stay at the Mulberry and I am confident you will find it up to the standards which you have come to expect. Kind Regards Property Owner

"Beautiful views from lounge not only in the day time but the night sky was wonderful to see."
We are delighted that you enjoyed the views from the Mulberry - it was one of the features which first drew us to the property. We also enjoy the short walk to Orrest Head to catch spectacular sunsets over Bow Fell and Crinkle Crags at the head of the Langdale Valley. Property Owner

"Absolutely wonderful flat on the first floor."
Fully equipped with washer and dryer plus my favourite a lakeland dryer. Everything was perfect and spot on. My only suggestions which would be a nice touch would be a little welcome pack of milk and biscuits and tea, etc as it is lovely to have a brew before going shopping. It would also benefit the flat if you provided a shower squeegee for us to keep the bathrooms clean. About a mile away to the pub which was too far for us but we loved how quiet it was. Thank you we had an amazing week.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Mulberry. Thank you also for your constructive feedback which we always welcome. We are staying at the apartment this weekend and are bringing a shower squeegee with us to leave there. We have also been thinking about how best to provide a welcome pack for guests and hope to have this in place very soon. Property Owner

"Spacious apartment, quiet and good location being near enough to facilities but far enough away from hustle and bustle of area."
Very comfortable, lovely views and well equipped. Lovely building to have been restored.
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback - we look forward to being able to welcome you again to the Mulberry some time. Property Owner

"Great property and second stay here."
It really feels like a home from home with plenty of space and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well stocked and has modern appliances and the bathrooms are a high standard. The views are stunning and wonderfully quiet location with only a 5 minute drive to Windermere. My only suggestion would be a WiFi booster in the main bedroom as it can drop quite a lot, but overall a wonderful stay again
Thank you for your lovely feedback for the Mulberry We will install a WiFi booster in the main bedroom which I trust will improve this issue. Kind Regards Property Owner

"A fantastic apartment with a modern feel."
Breathtaking views from large windows spanning the entire lounge and kitchen area giving such an open space feel. Modern bathrooms with high quality fittings. A well kept property with all the essentials provided. Even though this is a dog friendly property (which we like as we do have a dog) you wouldn’t know. No smell, everything exceptionally clean and tidy. Location is a short drive away (5min) from Windermere although you could walk in about 15/20mins. Very well recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed staying at the Mulberry as much as we do! We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime. Property Owner

"Our second visit to Mullberry, fantastic property and a great location."
Christmas was very special here. Wonderful and cosy. Can’t wait to return.
Thank you for your kind review of the Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall and we are delighted that you had a great Christmas here. We look forward to welcoming you again sometime soon. Property Owner

"The property in general was great."
Very clean with all the bells and whistles. Agree with some of the reviews to make it an excellent experience: 1. Mattresses are on the soft side, although they seem new. 2. It would have been nice to be greeted with a minimal basket of goodies: fruit/cookies/milk 3. Climbing into and out the bath was a problem for guests with a back problem. A safety handrail would help in general to avoid slippage and fall. Otherwise, would love to come back again !

"Fantastic apartment with great views."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again soon.
-
"Lovely apartment and a very comfortable stay."
-
"What a fabulous property!"
Well equipped and tastefully decorated with relaxing views through the amazing lounge window. Ideally situated for exploring the Lakes and great to have Windermere within walking distance. Only improvement we would suggest is to the instructions on finding the property which are difficult to follow when arriving after dark; the property is 2 miles after Ings village, not just over 1 mile, and there are lots of dips and climbs!
Thank you for your very positive feedback for the Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall and we will re-visit our arrival instructions to try to make it easier for guests to find us in the dark. Property Owner

"The Mulberry was very well presented as always."
This was our tenth stay in this property and, despite the efforts of the British weather, was just as good as the first.
Thank you so much again for your lovely feedback - you are always welcome - and we hope that the weather is more kind to you the next time! Property Owner
-
"Lovely flat."
Great views, even when raining! Great facilities. Particularly liked the flat's drying room, entrance lobby, kitchen layout and dog guard that was provided. Very thoughtful. Everything worked well. We had a lovely week in beautiful surroundings... Our dog (border terrier) loved it too.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We have a border terrier too and she also loves to stay and walk in the Lakes! We hope to be able to welcome you again sometime. Property Owner

"The apartment and setting was absolutely gorgeous, we will definitely be visiting again, 11/10 this is by far one of the best holiday apartments we’ve been too."
Thank you for your lovely feedback and we would love to have the opportunity to welcome you back again some time in the future. Property Owner

"Beautiful property and great value for money ."
The only downside is the WiFi was awful and would not connect properly
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay. We will ask our Maintenance Team to take a look at the WIFI. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Note from owner 11/9/23. Thank you for alerting us to this and we hope it did not impact your stay too much. BT Openreach have attended today and have resolved this issue. Property Owner

"A beautiful property in a quiet location, clean with a well stocked kitchen with everything you need."
Plenty of space and home comforts with amazing views. Location 5 minute drive to Windermere centre. The boot room/cloak room was useful for wet boots coats and heated airer in own cupboard a nice touch.
Thank you - we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Mulberry and we hope to be able to welcome you again sometime. Alison & Matthew Property Owner

"We have had the most amazing time at Mulberry, second year running we have stayed at Applethwaite Hall and I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else."
Perfect location for exploring the lakes, the grounds and surrounding areas are beautiful. Mulberry is like a home from home, comfortable and clean with everything you need. We were particularly impressed with how comfortable the beds were. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Mulberry.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are delighted that you enjoy the Mulberry so much that you have returned. We love it too! We look forward to being able to welcome you again sometime in the future. Property Owner

"This was the ninth time that we have stayed at the Mulberry."
The appartment was, again, prepared to the usual high standard and presented in perfect order, as always. The Mulberry is our 'go to' place in The Lakes and is the appartment that all others are compared with and despite the best efforts of the British weather we had another great stay. We will be back again VERY soon!
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday, We look forward to welcoming you back for the 10th time! Property Owner

"For a week it needs two loo rolls per bathroom."
There was no coffee, tea or sugar either. Not deal breaker items but we own holidays let’s and so I guess we look for these things. Great apartment though - contact us if you ever consider selling
-
"Mulberry was a lovely apartment, well appointed overall in a great location for exploring the Lakes and getting provisions for our stay in Windermere, especially from Booths, the excellent local supermarket."
The only reason we’ve reduced the feedback score was due to the quality of the mattresses in both beds. They were very lumpy and you feel the contents of them when sleeping. Also the mattress protectors were grey and soiled (marked). Other than this we had a lovely stay at Mulberry, Applethwaite Hall and would consider rebooking in the future.
Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that the beds were not to your liking. They are John Lewis premium quality, as we wanted them to be comfortable for our guests and also for ourselves, on our frequent visits to the apartment. I am surprised that the mattress protectors were unsatisfactory, as they have been laundered within the last month, but we have asked the housekeeper to visit in order to inspect and address any issues. Kind Regards, The Owners. Property Owner

"Beds way too soft my husband and I both have bad backs from our stay."
Daughters didn’t sleep great either. Lovely apartment but because of the beds won’t be staying again.
Hello there. Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome. This was a surprise to us as you are the first guest since we started letting the Mulberry who has commented that the beds are too soft. Beds are a very subjective and important issue, because of which we took great care over the selection of the mattresses, eventually picking them from the John Lewis premium range with a medium firmness. However, I am sorry that in this case they did not prove to your liking. Property Owner

"Another great stay in this fantastic apartment."
Our 8th stay since 2018 and it’s still just as good as the first time! Peaceful, well situated, equipped to the highest standard with everything that you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. Very well prepared by the Lakelovers team as always. Thank you for allowing us to share your perfect holiday home again! I am sure that we will be back again very soon!

"One of the best properties we have stayed in for the price we paid we come to the lakes 3 times a year the location was great just a short walk to Windermere and the views from the property were beautiful couldn’t get up without been drawn to the windows to look at the beautiful view."
The apartment was a very high standard all modern fixtures and fittings. We will definitely be booking again we had a fantastic holiday thank you.
-
"This was our first stay at this apartment and we had an amazing stay at The Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall."
The location was great, very peaceful with great scenery surrounding the hall. The apartment was lovely, comfortable beds, easy to use appliances and really started to feel like a home away from home. Thank you for allowing us to use one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in and we will hopefully be returning for another stay very soon.
-
"Our 7th visit to The Mulberry and every time we go we find different things to do."
The Appartment is just superb, well equiped and perfectly presented as always. It is so nice to go to a holiday rental, where you know where everything is, and be unpacked and relaxed with 15 miutes even after a 5 hour drive. So quiet, restful, but close enough to Windermere so that you don't need to use the car every day. Brilliant appartment and many thanks to the owners for allowing us to share their wonderful holiday home. Just looking at booking the next trip!

"Loved the property - exactly as advertised."
Lakelovers were quick to respond to any queries and it was a very easy and enjoyable experience all round. Would definitely book through you again. Thank you!
-
"Lovely property, one of the comfiest we have ever stayed in, definitely the best equipped!"
Everything you could want is there - a crate and mat for your dog, drier for your clothes and a really well equipped kitchen (i recon you could cook Sunday dinner or bake a cake if you felt inclined, personally i would head to Booths supermarket and cheat and buy some of their delicious produce instead!). Sofa and beds are comfy, Netflix is on the TV and the view from the window is beautiful. Apartment was bigger than we expected and felt really spacious. Setting is great to walk from and it isn’t far into Windermere, you can walk there via Orest head if you want to make it a scenic walk. We have booked again for a few months time!
-
"This is a lovely, well equipped & furnished apartment in a beautiful setting."
Close enough to walk in to Windermere - but quiet enough to feel exclusive. We can’t recommend it enough. Owner Matthew was very helpful when Storm Alwen blew trees across the drive & during a subsequent power cut.
-
"This was the sixth time that we have stayed at The Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall."
The property was prepared to the usual extremely high standard and ready on time as usual. Perfect apartment for a relaxing stay in The Lskrd
-
"An amazing property, great layout, great info and maintained to a high standard."
We stayed two weeks and would have stayed a lot longer if we didn’t have to go back to work. Definitely stay there again!
-
"Superb quality apartment in great location, very peaceful and rural feel but on the doorstep of the town for all the shops, cafes, restaurants etc."
A great base from which to access the lakes and many great walks which provide spectacular scenery.
-
"What a treasure tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Windermere."
So many fab walks right from the door. And the apartment what can we say.. it's a bit like Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way!

The property
Part of the prestigious Applethwaite Hall development, The Mulberry is a contemporary, luxurious retreat within striking distance of the Lakeland town of Windermere and her busier neighbour, Bowness yet far enough away to appreciate a peaceful, countryside location.
One of the exclusive apartments created within a stunning former Arts and Crafts country house, this spacious first floor apartment offers superb views across the grounds to the Langdale Pikes and beyond, in the very heart of the Lakes.
The owners are life-long lovers of the Lake District who regularly use the apartment and have created a stylish and comfortable space complimented by artwork and crafts by local artists.
Just a mile from the centre of Windermere, The Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall is not only well placed for enjoying a wealth of outdoor activities for all ages and abilities but provides the opportunity to sample the eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurant, coffee shops and galleries that the town offers. Accommodation in detail Sharing the rather grand entrance to the main building, The Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall can be found on the first floor and is all on one level and South West facing.
An inner hallway offers useful hanging space for walking gear and leads into the main entrance hall which opens into the stunning open plan living space complete with original stone mullioned windows providing a wonderful outlook over the mature grounds and to the fells in the distance.
This super social space, beautifully presented in neutral shades with accent colour, offers sumptuous corner seating, large wall mounted Smart TV with DVD player and Ruark digital radio and blue tooth connected speaker.
The room blends effortlessly through to the adjacent kitchen and dining area with all the facilities you'd expect from such a high quality conversion; Neff appliances of oven, hob, microwave fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/drier and yet more of those stunning, original window openings!
A generously proportioned walnut dining table is ideally positioned for social dining and fell views. Both bedrooms have been designed and styled with the emphasis on comfort and quality incorporating oak furniture, high quality bedding, natural wool fabrics and accessories, perfectly chosen original artwork and built in wardrobes.
Bedroom 1, a kingsize, benefits from the adjacent Villeroy and Boch house bathroom with shower over the bath, handbasin and wc.
Bedroom 2 is a spacious superking made up as a double (can be made up as a twin - please request at time of booking) with access to the en-suite Villeroy and Boch shower room with cubicle, handbasin and wc.
The owners are keen walkers, and have made maps and walking guides available for guest use.
For those occasional damp days, a Dry-Soon Airer has been thoughtfully provided for walking gear. There is a private, numbered car parking space for one car within the level parking area and further visitor's spaces are available.
For cyclists there is a secure, covered bike store.
Guests at The Mulberry at Applethwaite Hall are free to roam the Hall's beautiful lawns and woodland, home to a host of wildlife including a family of deer, squirrels and a variety of native birds.
Whether you're an experienced or novice walker, sailor or cyclist, there are plenty of outdoor opportunities right on the doorstep.
Orrest Head and Post Knott are within 20 minutes walk offering an amazing panoramic view across England’s largest Lake Windermere to Coniston, Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags and the Langdale Pikes.
Sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing are just some of the watersports available on Windermere and nearby Grizedale Forest offers trails for cyclists and mountain bikers of all abilities.
Location Applethwaite Hall is in an enviable location; easily reached by car (just 20 minutes from J36 of the M6) or by train and perfectly placed to explore Windermere village, Bowness, Lake Windermere and all the Lake District has to offer.
Windermere has an abundance of cafés, restaurants and traditional Lake District pubs to choose from with plenty of shops, including Booth’s supermarket, for stocking up the kitchen.
Several superb walks begin nearby, including the easy ascent of Orrest Head which promises a spectacular panorama from the top.
There are many National Trust and other historic properties and gardens near at hand including the 400 year old Townend Farmhouse, Holehird Gardens, Blackwell Arts and Crafts house and Allan Bank where the iconic red squirrels reliably put in an appearance!
Windermere is a perfect base for exploring the entirety of the Lake District.
The famously scenic stretch of the A591 leads to Ambleside, Rydal Water and historic Grasmere.
