We booked this apartment at short notice attracted by its location (within easy walking distance of Grasmere yet in a peaceful spot outside the village and overlooking the water) and facilities. The open plan kitchen/living area is wonderful with loads of space, comfort, quality furniture and fittings. The views from the window are fabulous.
The 2 bathrooms are of similar quality and the hallway is spacious with hanging for coats and trays for boots.
The largest bedroom is very comfortable with plenty of space, a good bed, large wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside cabinets. As we were only a couple these were all the rooms we used and this is where we have reservations about the property being marketed for 6 people.
The twin bedded room is fine with just enough room for a single bedside cabinet between the 2 single beds (each tight up to a wall) - ideal for 2 children.
The second double bedroom however is only just large enough for the double bed leaving very little space on either side. On one side of the bed the wall juts out half way along the bed ready to stub the toes of any unwary person getting in or out of bed on that side. For a group of 5 I would say Langdale Crag is pretty perfect and I would be delighted to stay there again, but I wouldn't want to book it for 6.
The laundry facilities are in an outbuilding and are shared with other properties in the group. A lick of paint and a bit of a tidy and a clean would be good in there.
The gardens are also shared and we didn't see many people in them. They share the same beautiful views seen from the apartment. There are lovely walks from the gate at the top of the garden.
For fewer than 6 I doubt that Langdale Crag can be beaten - it is beautiful and clearly loved and cared for by the fortunate owners. The quality of the fixtures and equipment was much appreciated, as was the fact that cleaning equipment, towels, washing up equipment etc were all supplied. We were sorry to leave but left in response to the prompt arrival of the friendly and efficient cleaners.
