"The house didn’t disappoint and in some respects was even better than the pictures show especially the location."
In a very quiet and select private close only added to the enjoyment. House was spotlessly clean and well presented. Ample room for our party of 6 to both spend time together or chill when prefer with the garden room a firm favourite. The birds eye view of fast jets navigating up the lake and beyond was a real bonus! Only real ask would be if the hot tub could be raised slightly allowing better views of the lake whilst sitting in it but icing on the cake of course! Only gripe relates to Sykes and the astronomical price increases year on year!

"Wow wow wow Brantlea is the most beautiful stunning home - it is immaculate and every detail has been thought through with care."
The open plan living area is so good to allow everyone to feel they are together but not on top of one another.
The kitchen is huge and has everything you would need. Oven/Grill immaculate and fridge freezer huge - great for stocking up. Lounge has fab corner settee and 2 individual recliners chairs Bedrooms are all amazing- 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the upper living level - bathrooms huge, warm underfloor heating and towels lovely. Utility room handy and well equipped.
The views from the hot tub are fabulous towards the lake and the summer house next to the hot tub a great bonus. Garden although steep very well kept and dog safe. Simon has been a wonderful host, offered lots of advice of restaurants etc and responds so quickly. The only downside to Brantlea is having to leave it - we will definitely return - it’s worth every penny. Thank you Simon

lock box clearly visible. The house has a large open plan on the upper floor with private bedrooms on both floors. An extremely well equipped kitchen and utility room com0lete with washer and dishwasher caps. The hot tub is at the top of a steep garden which has a well kept and lighted pathway making it easily accessible. just next to the hot tub is a lovely summerhouse which will be great during the summer months. Overall this house exceeded our expectations and we will hopefully be back.

"We had an amazing family stay at Brantlea."
Anything we could’ve possibly needed had been thought of and was in the house. The safety gates for our baby was a life saver who had just started to crawl. The welcome box was amazing and a nice surprise, full of local produce and the dog treats made our four legged friends very happy. The house was clean, comfortable and warm. Amazing views from the kitchen and hot tub. It was a short walk to Bowness which had plenty of amenities, nice shops
and restaurants with the Cornish pasty shop being a much loved family favourite. We all agreed we would definitely stay again.
