“Accommodation is in a good location and having parking is a bonus!”

We were on the top floor and the views and sunsets were amazing! Good central base for exploring the Lake District.

“Great location top floor apartment.”

Small but comfortable apart from the sofa bed which was not good. Be aware that the lane to the apartment is very very narrow with low hanging trees which hit our roof mounted bikes every time we went out.

“Great location, comfortable and good facilities with really helpful owners.”

Only thing is the access to the car parking, it is very tight even for an average sized car. On leaving the car park there is a carry tight right turn which I negotiated several times successfully but I did damage my car on one instance. There was a sharp edged stone/rock sticking out of the wall on one of my exits which hadn’t been there previously as I had done the same turn before. I heard a crunch and immediately stopped my car. I look looked at the bumper and this rock was stuck in it!! So my car was basically connected to the wall. I had to reverse and the rock edge broke off and released my car. Cracked and scuffed bumper with a hole in it! I took pictures to prove that the rock was way out of the wall so it had either slipped I outwards or had been moved by someone or something. Not great for an Audi A5 which is not even 2 months old

The lake District is full of narrow lanes and Craig Walk is one of them. The directions clearly describe the lane and a normal sized car can easily negotiate the car park. We offer a permit for a nearby street for guests. The on-site parking and quiet location more than make up for this. We are sorry for any damage done to a vehicle Sykes owner relations

“We travelled light as it was mentioned in the property that there is a washing machine but was dissapointed to find none.”

Feel cheated as that was one of the main criteria when choosing our accomodation in Cumbria. No reply from the property about this at the beginning of our stay. We had to wash manually some thinner clothes and hung to dry. Had to don used clothes for our 2 nights stay. The bathroom floor does not have proper drainage so water pooled on the floor especially the sink area. Not confortable and very cold to our feet. The sofa bed was not comfortable when opened as you can feel the hard springs so had to sleep on it unopened. Not comfortable 2 nights as body length is longer than the length of the sofa.

Thank you for your feedback. The key code system on the front door is what the system is. The owner has arranged the code sequence to be the easiest it can be and once you enter this a few times, it is easy to remember. The washing machine is located in the external shed which is stated on our website and you need to ask the owner for the key location. There is also a launderette local about 2 miles away from the property if you require larger loads or drying facilities. The water had drained down into the below apartment as it is not a wet room. If there is water on the floor then this will need to be dried up by guests. There is a glass panel on the bath which needs to be closed when using to prevent water spillages. We have received no previous bed complaints about the sofa bed and mattresses are often down to personal preference. Sykes owner relations

“As others have already mentioned the location is great and on overall I enjoyed my stay.”

I didn't mind the decor being "outdated", as that's up to personal taste and I felt it gave the place a charming feel. What I would say is that the sofa could do with a good vacuuming as it was full of bits, I tried to do it myself, but the vacuum cleaner left on the stairs had poor suction. Also it would be helpful if there was an extra extension lead in the bedroom, to compensate for the lack of sockets.

“Facilities were clean but tired.”

Sofa bed was highly uncomfortable and WiFi not reliable. Location was excellent for Bowness centre, owner quick to respond to parking and WiFi query’s.

The sofa bed is not suitable for stays longer than a couple of nights and some adults may find it uncomfortable. The wifi is free and unlimited and usually gives good coverage. Sykes owner relations

A group of four comfortable Lake District holiday apartments, set in an elevated position, in a superb location, at the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere. Just five minutes’ walk from shores of Lake Windermere and two minutes from the town centre, the greatest charm of these apartments has to be their superb location. Set in a former traditional Lakeland house with distant views of the Langdale Fells, these lovingly-furnished and tastefully-decorated properties provide cosy accommodation for couples, families and friends, away from the main hustle and bustle of Bowness, but close enough to amble down into the town.

All also have their own bathroom, great for long soaks after days walking or cycling in beautiful surroundings.
