Wonderful accommodation, overlooking the gorgeous scenery of Lake Windermere. The apartment had everything and more than you needed. The location is second to none. I would heartedly recommend and will return myself, without hesitation.
We enjoyed staying in the apartment and it has a stunning view over the lake. Overall we had a great stay but there were teething troubles including finding and switching on the WiFi, hooking up the telly and making it actually work, switching on the heating and warming the apartment. On the plus side, once warm it was very comfortable...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here (3 nights in Nov 2019). The apartment was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Also the situation right on the edge of the lake with beautiful views across to the mountains beyond was just fantastic. If we are in the area, we will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

Advised by office to park second car in car park 0.6m away, which we did, costing £30 for the week. Then discovered their was a free visitors space attached to the flat! Not best pleased.

We had to leave early due to illness in family back home, but I would rate the flat a full five star
We had to leave early due to illness in family back home, but I would rate the flat a full five stars.
Overlooks the lake, and also about 100 yards from boat trip quay. Only drawback we found was no local shops. Nearest in walking distance is Ambleside, but very little there. Best place is Windermere aboout 3 miles in the opposite direction (5 minutes by car). Everything you need is there. Car parking right outside flat door. A word of warning. When you arrive DON'T look for Mereview, as you won't find it - there is NO SIGN. The flat complex is called LAKE VIEW, or LAKE SIDE, or something similar (above the door). We spent half an hour in the rain looking for it and asking locals - none of whom had heard of it.

On the whole a really lovely location and of course the view makes it special.
The negatives were not a major problem but if I had the bedroom window open at night there is a generator noise and also the smell of cooking early in the morning from the YHA. Also the towels are brittle and could do with replacing and my pillow smelled of a previous guest. But the positives fully outweighed the negatives. I found the place comfortable and well equipped, with lots of bathrooms too. A great base for our holiday.

Fantastic break.
Fantastic break. Only reason I dropped amenities to a 9 is there isn't a grocery store nearby.

A beautiful place, well equiped.
A beautiful place, well equiped. The owners have thought of everything. The views are stunning to say the least. Loved that there is a washing machine and dryer in the cellar. The only slightly negative comment is that the bed felt cramped due to the built in bedside tables.. but l think thats quite a personal thing for me. Otherwise it is a stunning comfortable and well placed holiday home. The kitchen is fantastic!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mere View in May 2019.
We absolutely loved our stay at Mere View in May 2019. The location is unbelievable with truly stunning views over Lake Windermere.
Although we were blessed with fantastic weather I think the views would be just as beautiful and spectacular at any time of the year!
The flat itself is cosy, comfortable and welcoming - it so well equipped - it even has a telescope, sketching pads and water colour pencils ! We would thoroughly recommend this beautiful holiday apartment and definitely intend to return !!
You just get the feeling that the owners have not scrimped or spared when equipping and making their lovely holiday home so homely and inviting . You feel that they really care that you to have a fabulous time in their gorgeous holiday home and we certainly did !
Thank you so much - we have recommended Mere View to our family and friends who are looking to book a holiday here too !

It was our second time at mere View, we booked a week this time instead of the four days we'd booked previously, because it was such a comfortable and quiet place to stay with the best views across the lake, unfortunately we had to leave after four days as my husband had an accident and broke his leg. We would definitely stay at Meres View again, it was like home from home.

Whilst the property offers a parking space the parking is extremely tight.
Whilst the property offers a parking space the parking is extremely tight. When we arrived a car had parked a third of the way over the space we were to be in and also another car on the double yellow lines opposite, thank fully the space at the end of the parking area was free - we would not have been able to park if there had been a vehicle there. There is a public car park very close by - obviously this would have to be paid for - but unless you have a small/medium car the parking space is an issue.
