Historic Setting
The Rockefeller Apartments are housed in a former bank building, with original safes, vault doors, and bank-themed decor preserved throughout the property. Each apartment is named after banking terms like the 'Bank Manager' room, adding to the quirky experience. The building's history as a bank is visible in details such as the entrance hallway with old safe doors and the themed wall art.
Amenities & Rooms
Each apartment includes a kitchen with oven, hob, fridge, and bone china mugs, plus an iPad, work desk, and two large smart TVs with complimentary Netflix. Guests control mood lighting and electric blackout curtains via Google Hub or tablet. The apartments offer comfortable king-size beds, walk-in showers, and free use of a local gym and swimming pool through a partnership with a nearby leisure centre.

Guests can enjoy hiking, boating, and bus services from the doorstep to explore the Lake District.

The kitchen in each apartment is fully equipped for self-catering, with a Co-op supermarket directly opposite for groceries. Several cafes, restaurants, and pubs are within a 5-minute walk, including the famous Lake District eateries.
