Interaction with guestsRegretfully I do not live nearby, so cannot meet and greet you. However, access is by using a key safe located next to the front door. Further details on this are provided once full payment is made. Our caretaker, Jayne, does lives in the village and can be contacted in the case of an emergency or other issue with the flat. I can also be contacted by phone and will do my best to sort any issues out.

Perfect stay
What a beautifully maintained spacious apartment in a great location! We originally booked for guests to stay for our wedding at the Inn on the Lake, Paul was so helpful in changing our booking when this was postponed to the next year. He was easily contactable throughout the process and gave all information needed for our stay. We stayed for one night before the guests arrived and were so impressed with how modern everything was, great views and even a little Christmas tree up which we thought was a nice touch! Kitchen had everything we’d need and a range of tv subscriptions like Netflix for an evening. Great base for our guests staying there to get ready on the day of our wedding and be only a few metres away from the hotel. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Better than was expecting
A beautiful venue, we knew that already but was impressed with how lovely flat 5 was. Plenty of room and needed for nothing more than we expected. Beds were soooooo comfy. Definitely will be returning!

Perfect for a wedding at the Inn on the Lake
PaWe originally booked Stoney Steps for a wedding back in Jun 2020, due to COVID-19, the wedding was postponed until Jul 2021, Paul kindly moved our booking at no extra cost. The apartment is modern and very well equipped inside, we were very grateful for the use of the travel cot & high chair. You are right in the centre of Glenridding, but away from the crowds in the grounds of the hotel. the 9.30am checkout was a bit of a shock after a 3 day wedding celebration, but overall a great place to stay and excellent communcation from the the owner throughout.

Thank you Guy for your positive and helpful review. Please do come again. A quick note about the 9.30am departure, It is to allow our caretaker time to thoroughly disinfect and clean the apartment ready for the next guests. We will be making it later once it is safe to do so. Best wishes Paul

Brilliant Stoney steps
Just returned from our 2nd visit to Stoney steps. Another fantastic holiday in this great well located flat, it is situated in the fantastic Helvelyn climbing area. The flat is well furnished and the beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is ideal for all those cooked meal after exploring Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick and plenty of swimming in Ullswater Lake for our 2 dogs. Plenty of places to eat locally. Many thanks again. We are well rested and will book again soon for z return trip. Carole

Super base for exploring the mountains around Helvellyn
Very comfortable, cosy and well equipped accomodation in Glenridding. We were there to do some mountain biking and the location suited us very well for easy access to the bridleways up the mountains. The Ramblers Bar in the hotel is about ten paces away for meals/drinks, though we mainly self catered as the kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals. As the weather was quite rainy we found the provided electric dryer most useful to get our kit dry for the next day. Would very much recommend Stoney Steps.

Amazing apartment in a great location
We had a great stay at stoney steps last weekend. This apartment has everything you could need for your stay. Excellent communication with Paul prior to our stay. Highly recommend and we can't wait to stay again next year for our sons wedding at the inn on the lake hotel. For anyone attending a wedding there, this apartment is perfect as it's directly opposite. 5 star apartment.

Glorious
A great location and clear arrival instructions mean first impressions are great. The apartment is in a small block at the back of the Inn on the Lake, opposite their temporary (?) marquee for outdoor dining. It is a sparkling clean, well maintained, 1st floor apartment with everything provided. Comfortable and high quality. A couple of hints: in the bathroom, the electric shower is pretty weak, but us that alongside the handheld from the bath provides a more powerful jet. Water does get everywhere so a squeegee would be handy. In the kitchen the inventory doesn’t match the stock - mostly more is provided but a couple of things weren’t there. We had no probs but if in doubt, make a note. We had an incredible stay, and if the owner can sort the weather for you to be as stunning as it was for us, you’ll truly benefit!

Thank you for your positive review. Electric showers can be an issue, but we thought we had solved it by having quite a high capacity one. The direct handheld shower is extremely powerful, as I said in the notes I sent you. I normally use it sitting down in the bath to keep the water in and prevent it taking off!!! Please do come again, Best wishes Paul

Beautiful break
This was a well needed break after working all of lockdown and was our first holiday to the Lake District. This apartment was situated in a beautiful area and had all of the luxuries you needed, exactly like a “home from home”. The instructions Paul sent were easy to follow and I could not be happier with the location and apartment itself. It was close to a variety of walks, varying in difficulty and the Ullswater steamers which can take you (& dog) to different areas around the lake. I am so pleased I found this place, myself, my partner and our Lakeland terrier loved it and we would book this apartment again. Thankyou!

About the neighborhood
Glenridding has glorious views towards Place Fell. The jetties line up perfectly with Silver Point and is one of the most photographed views in the Lake District. Glenridding boasts two major hotels, 'The Glenridding' and 'The Inn on the Lake', as well as a pub and several cafes. Food, drink, souvenirs and walking equipment are available in the local shops and there is an excellent Tourist Information Centre based in the village. The flat is situated in the grounds of 'The Inn on the Lake' Opposite to the Flat is The Ramblers Bar which sells fine food, wines and beer and which has a small games room and Sky TV. The hotel management may close this to the public from time to time to accommodate the many weddings they host.
Getting around
Glenridding has bus service, all year round to Penrith. In the summer, there are buses going over the Kirkstone Pass to Ambleside,Windemere and Bowness. Glenridding is also the main stop for the Ullswater Steamers which now ply the length of the lake all year round.
