Prospect House Reviews

All showers cold, even when used in the time frames given, stayed before and not had this problem
Deborah
We really enjoyed our week in Windermere, and found Prospect House to be stylish, comfortable and very spacious We were 8 adults It was also very conveniently located in the centre of town, only a few minutes walk from the train station, with great walks from the doorstep. We would definitely return. For the owner only saucepans and frying pans could do with being replaced as the nonstick is badly damaged. There is a little bit of mould on some bedroom windows should clean off if dealt with soon.
Jackie
Lovely stay, great location, easy parking, lovely house, great nights sleep in very comfortable beds, would recommend.
Excellently positioned home and we had a lovely time. Spacious apart from the kitchen which is in no way small in space, we just felt that the dining chairs, as comfy as they were, were perhaps too big to seat 8 round the table. Certainly not a big deal. Location was brill, very central and convenient and to be honest we had no issue with the two cars being parked in the public car park not too far away. Bedrooms all had their own bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable and rooms and decor felt luxurious. Windermere has everything you could need but worth noting it is a busy place and the street noise starts early for deliveries and the like around 6am. Just worth noting for those who are light sleepers. Overall we had an excellent stay and we loved the accommodation. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the lakes, stay somewhere central with all the amenities needed and was a very convenient location for walks and sightseeing which allows you to park up the car and forget about it again till you need to leave.
Nicola
Fantastic accommodation. Fully equipped, clean and spacious , location is excellent for public transport. A variety of shops and restaurants within close walking distance. Sadly all of the beautiful bathrooms and showers are serviced with lukewarm water. Despite a speedy response from Sykes engineer to try and rectify this, it was not possible. I really hope the owners can resolve this issue.
Excellent location and well appointed. Might be worth mentioning for future guests that there are no toilet facilities on living floor level. This could be problematic for elderly guests having to continually negotiate stairs. Otherwise, we thorough enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
Louise
4 ladies from Norway had a lovely stay, the house and all its facilities were exceptional, everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were, the lovely bathrooms, and even the nice big fluffy towels. to say that the property exceeded our expectations would be an understatement !! It might be an idea for the owners to leave a small welcome pack,, milk etc especially for visitors from overseas,, but this was not a problem.
Beautiful property and very Central. Loved we all had luxurious bedrooms with ensuites kitchen and dining area was very well equipped and comfortable. Sitting room was very comfortable and well decorated Found property very clean. We all enjoyed our stay and appreciated the parking passes
Shijia
The windows are seriously ageing, and there are potential safety hazards. When I unlocked the window of the restaurant, the window above fell directly. Out of instinctive reaction, I tried to pick it up with my hands, but it was too heavy to stop it. Fortunately, I only cut my finger, and they didn't have a fracture. Everything else is very good. We all like this house.
Ashley
The stay was great and the property was wellmaintained. Love the location which is convenient to everywhere. Although there is a restaurantbar just right across the street, noise level was acceptable and didn't affect our rest
Barbara
Lovely,wellequipped house in a great location. Ideal for a week away with all the family
Prospect House is in a great location and is tastefully decorated to a high standard. Kitchen well equipped, bedrooms and bathrooms good size and beds comfy, particularly liked underfloor heating in bathrooms! Easy to access property and get around, good bonus having car park passes. Would recommend and definitely come back. Only issue we had was we couldn't get heating to work in basement TV lounge, not much of a problem as we just used main living room instead.
Debbie
Lovely property in a fabulous location, plenty of room for the 6 off us. Lots of lovely places to visit close to public transport.
Heather
The property was perfect for our stay. It was well equipped and tastefully decorated . The bathrooms were fabulous and the rooms were great for eating and socialising together. The only things that could have been improved were the WIFI which was weak on occasion and to have eg a very large WOK that could hold enough food for the whole group.
Great house in a great location we all had lots of space and all had a bathroom! All the rooms were beautifully finished and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were warm, the heated floors were lovely in the morning. We would definitely recommend this house for a larger group there were 7 of us and it was just perfect.
Clayton
Was very happy with the property, it more than lived up to expectations. HOWEVER, we did not expect that after being told we could not have an early check in, to then find that on arrival at 4pm to have to empty a dishwasher that was still hot ! In the email I received for leaving the property it did stipulate to put dishwasher on the final night before leaving ? As a note for the owner, the bedding, mattresses and pillows were below par for the price point of the holiday and the duvets were not big enough for the beds.this needs addressing as does the fact that the WIFI is only accessible from the kitchen completely unacceptablethere were also no hooks to hang wet towels on in the bathrooms. For people wanting to eat in, they need more pans and kitchen utensils
My family, including a 3 and 0. 5 year old, stayed at Prospect House in September 2021 with some friends. Overall the house is finished to a very high standard and in a great central location, literally a 2 minute walk from bars, cafes and shops. Arrival and departure is a little tricky as there is no in site parking but you can park on the street next to the house. The Broad Street car park is an 8 minute pleasant walk assuming it's dry through the town. As other people have mentioned the door is a little sticky so do take care when locking it. The kitchen was pristine on arrival and is well equipped. There's even a waste disposal unit which is great when you have a weaning baby. Bedrooms are spacious and all have great bath shower rooms. The lounge is cosy, especially with the fire on. The TV is smart which again was good for keeping a 3 year old occupied while getting ready to leave the house. WiFi only works in the kitchen, the network isn't even visible in the lounge which confused us for a bit. Not mentioned in the description currently but there is a high chair and travel cot in the house. After a few days the house did seem to get quite dusty and our kids got allergy sniffles. Also, given the central location there is a degree of street noise at night. Fine for adults and our 3 year old didn't mind it but our 0.5 year old did get disturbed a few times. Aside from these small gripes we had a great stay and would highly recommend Prospect House for town based stay in The Lakes.
Rebecca
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Prospect House. Lakelovers provided and excellent service on the two occasions we called them. Upon arrival, we discovered that the waste disposal unit was blocked and, after a quick call, two guys arrived and sorted out the blockage. Just another call linked to a loose toilet seat and this was quickly repaired. The facilities were superb and we had everything we needed throughout the accommodation to make for a fantastic stay. The kitchen was very well equipped and served us well for the few times we cooked and the laundry room was a great addition for when those rain soaked clothes needed a quick blast in the dryer! Windermere was on hand with some great bars, places to eat, supermarkets and a fab butchers try the ribs and red hot growler pie! Bowerness was just a short walk away for more activities and we made a couple of trips further afield. Prospect House was a super base for all of our trips so much so that we only needed the car on one occasion otherwise it stayed in the car park! Wed definitely recommend Lakelovers and Prospect House!
Duncan
Very underequipt kitchen. General cleanliness not great. Wasnt made clear just how loud the noice from the road and pub opposite was. We left 3 days early as the house was just not enjoyable at all.
