Pickle Pot Loft- 2 bedroom apartment in Hawkshead

Positive: The place had all the facilities required for a comfortable stay and the village of Hawkshead is very cute. We recommend the ghost tour run by the people at the Kittchen bar Negative: The TV in the lounge. It didn't work very well and kept losing sound

Exceptional property in fantastic location Positive: Very comfortable and great location . Very organised check in. Updates leading to the start of the stay were informative and helpful. Negative: All good

Disappointing Positive: It has been beautifully renovated and is in a great location. Negative: It was dirty. The area by the front door stank of dog poo when we arrived. So much so, that I had to go around to the Co-op and buy bottles of Zoflora to put down straight away, and again midweek. The stench was awful. The front door is filthy and doesn’t present a great appearance. The apartment itself could be lovely but it had barely been cleaned. Bedside tables had tea stains and sticky patches, the floors were gritty and dirty, and there was a layer of brown gunge and hair in the shower. The skirting boards were pretty dirty too. You would expect a degree of scuffing on the walls of a rental property but there were nasty marks and stains around the walls by the dining table which, like the shower, had to be cleaned to make the area acceptable for use. The rug in the sitting room is really grubby and marked, and the apartment smelt when we arrived. We managed to get a window open to air it out, but the overall experience on arrival was very poor. We made the most of of our time in the lakes but I don’t think I would be inclined to book through Laik again. You don’t expect a rental to be as clean and tended as your own home, but we rent apartments every year and this did not live up to its promise or its price.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Weather was good to us as well. Bonus! Positive: Location was good. Use of parking permit was very good. Negative: Toilet space was very tight.

Positive: the location was amazing as it was in the center of harwkshead but was not noisy at night or in the morning. apartment was clean with modern appliances and amazing local handwash
