"Lovely place and great views"

"We had a relaxing stay in the apartment."
Very clean & bed comfortable.Good parking. Plenty to do in the surrounding area.. As there were only X2 of us there were enough glasses & mugs but if x4 staying there were only x4 glasses & 4 small mugs. WiFi was very weak & dropping off but did not affect our stay. Hall lights didn't appear to work and could not find a switch we just put a light on in another room. Good information folder in the apartment about places to visit & recommendations on eateries. Thank you.

"Howgills is a quality apartment, furnished and equipped to a very high standard."
It was very clean and had everything needed for a stay in this lovely part of the country. Communication with Katie was excellent and the welcome hamper contained some real treats. Some pleasant walks nearby as well as further afield where we saw red squirrels, an owl and even a king fisher. Would definitely recommend Howgills and thanks Katie for the care and attention.

"We had a lovely stay, however we manged to pick the hottest weekend of the year."
Unfortuantley the blinds and limited openings of the windows made for a furnace of a room and we had trouble sleeping because of this. We still had a great time x

"We were amazed at the accuracy of the listing details."
The photo's of the interior looked very good, but we did not expect the apartment to be even better than the photo's. Everything we needed was there. The owner was very attentive to assure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The apartment is very central to so many place of interest. Plenty of local places to eat out. A lovely area for walking. We had a very relaxing holiday and would definitely go again anytime.
