Lovely apartment in the centre of the town and within a stones throw of shops and numerous restaurants and pubs. Comfy beds and everything needed for a self catering holiday.

We had problems opening the key safe on arrival and departure.
We had problems opening the key safe on arrival and departure.
On arrival I had to ring the emergency mobile for help and at 8.59pm I was so grateful someone answered my call. The phones go off at 9pm so it was a close one. I banged and pulled and eventually the key safe opened. Anyway, on our departure the same thing happened and it took me 10 minutes at trying before I could get it open to put the keys back in. I think someone needs to look at replacing this.
Apart from that, great little apartment in a good location. Would definitely stay here again.
Es ist ein ganz bezaubernder Ort, an dem es für jeden etwas gibt. Tolle Wandermöglichkeiten, Bootsfahrten, Minigolf, Kino. Einkaufen, ins Café oder Restaurant gehen, das ist alles direkt vor der Haustür. Die Unterkunft ist gut geschnitten, hat alles, was man braucht und man kann sogar den See sehen. Allerdings ist die Wohnung sehr hellhörig. Aber ansonsten können wir den Ort und die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.
Apartment was just big enough. Could have had less wardrobe in bedroom and perhaps a chair .
Great views. Bed was comfortable. Could have had an extra blanket for chilly nights!
There were no extra toilet rolls in bathroom!
I didn’t expect to strip the beds and put rubbish out before leaving.!!

Good Central location with food options close by. Flight of stairs access and unloading car a bit awkward with small child (but we were aware of this). Clean, comfortable, warm, and all required facilities. Easy walk down to the ferries so good base for exploring the lakes. Enjoyed our stay.

Overall very clean &tidy, some very good quality kitchen equipment, sadly lacking a washing machine.
Bathroom and bedrooms very small & cramped , shower attachment very poor, just trickles water which was extremely annoying.
It was advertised as a “luxury “ apartment and although location and cleanliness were of excellent standard, we do not feel it was luxury with regard to quality of sofas and
mattress.
We have stayed in many various holiday apartments, not labelled luxury which were more comfortable.
However, would definitely recommend this apartment for a holiday in Bowness due to its location and the modern clean feel.

High Brow is centrally located which is our main reason for booking and was ideal as a base for our holiday. Flat was spotless, kitchen was very modern but there is a lack of storage space for food other than the small fridge, this would not be very practical for a group planning to take their own food to eat in. Sofa is modern but we found it not very comfy apart from the chaise section which was good. The shower over the bath is outdated and fiddly to regulate the water temperature !
