"Absolutely lovely cottage in a great location."
The cottage had everything we needed and more. What would be useful is if the TV worked in the snug room and also possibly a dishcloth or sponges for cleaning up. I know this isn't something you have to supply but we never thought to bring one away with us and other properties we have visited supply them. Would definitely return.

"Great location."
We had a lovely 7 night stay at brinkburn. Location was great, house was clean, comfy beds and a lot of space, very well equipped kitchen, the description does not say but the TV is a smart TV too, which is an added bonus for an evening in after a day of walks. It would have been even better if a couple of logs were provided for the log burner for when you arrive as well as a couple of dishwater tablets, you are unable to get into the property until 5pm which is quite late, would have been nice to have these but not a big issue. It does not have its own parking space which is fine for just 2 with a small car as you are likely to get a space on the road outside, however if it was a multi car trip you may have struggled as the road was always packed. The property is at the top of the hill in bowness on Windermere and was only a 10 minute walk to the front which was great, we could go out for meals in bowness with no need to drive. If it was just a one car holiday we would definitely book here again!
Thank you.

"Five star accommodation."
No expense spared by these owners to make sure guests have absolutely everything at their fingertips. Comfortable, clean and ideally located, being only a short walk from the shops and water’s edge. Anyone looking for the perfect base from which to explore the Lakes - look no further, you won’t be disappointed. Will book again at the earliest opportunity.

"Wow…. What can we say, we work so hard all year and this half term break we’ve just had the best stay for the week."
We can be a little fussy when looking for the perfect place but this home took our breath away.
The house was homely, very spacious, had everything needed, it was very airy and clean (I have awful allergies and I didn’t feel irritable once) and it accommodated our little family absolutely perfectly. Location was great and very central within windemere.
It was walking distance to beautiful pubs and restaurants.
Skye’s cottages were extremely attentive with answering questions.
We would certainly come back again.
We’ve made the best memories in a beautiful home and the cost of the property was a little added bonus ❤️ Thank-you

"The time to get into the property is too late this should be brought forward and the check out time should be an hour later!"
The property is could do with a good hover, also the back door needs a key to lock the door properly it didn’t seem very secure to us!

"Even better ifs--------Few minor things need fixing, towel hook in downstairs WC, extractor hood light, welcome pack folder broken, log burner glass was very dirty and needed a clean and a couple of the dining chairs were a bit "loose" and concerning."
On to the many positives.....The property itself was lovely, great size, bedrooms big enough and beds really comfortable, really spacious dining room and kitchen. Appliances and entertainment all good and shower upstairs was excellent and deserves a mention! Very difficult parking in street, often had to park elsewhere let alone get close to the property. A property that sleeps six is probably likely to be hosting 1 if not two vehicles. That is the only reason I would be unlikely to stay again, but would recommend in a heartbeat to any travelers with out a vehicle.

"A great week spent at Brinkburn."
Excellently positioned in Bowness and a great base for travels around the Lake District. The house itself was of a good standard with the right level of cleanliness. Having WiFi access was a godsend to keep the kids occupied on an evening after outdoor adventures. Main challenge was parking, couldn’t get parked in the street or any close so ended up getting a week pass for the nearby (5 min walk) car park. Be warned, if you have to go down this route look to download the App before you go to the Lakes, trying to do it in the car park as the ticket machine wasn’t working took a good 25 minutes!

"The place is central to Bowness and accessing all the surrounding tourist attractions."
House on the whole was comfortable but really does need a deep clean, the oven and toaster looked like it had not be cleaned for a while which was disappointing as we had been in lockdown for 3 months so was an ideal time to do it. We reported these immediately on arrival, baking trays had to be cleaned before using and the vacuum cleaner was full. It was good to have a washing machine which I don't think was in the information when booking. There is no garden furniture.

"Check into property changed from 3pm, 4pm then 5pm."
This was due to the COVID and extra cleaning which we didn’t mind. So to find the cottage not up to the extra 2 hours cleaning left us disappointed. Downstairs toilet inside door full of dust and spiders web on mirror. I emptied kitchen bin to find it not cleaned properly and a child’s shoe at the bottom of it. Property was bigger than expected, lovely log fire which we bought the logs etc from the Cooperative. Furnishing to a high standard and very comfortable. Oven not cleaned to a good standard. Bedrooms comfortable but need new pillows as this let’s is down. Bath and shower were amazing, lovely soft towels. Outside the back of the property we parked 2 cars. Also two properties shared the back, so all the rubbish was piled up on our side, and looked like it had been there for months. 2 defusers were in place shame both were empty. A few niggling things but overall had a lovely comfortable stay. Thank you

"The cottage was fantastic for everything we needed."
It was brilliantly located for a very shrot walk into Bowness and the shops. Everywhere was beautifully clean and the living areas were extremely spacious. In fact the cottage is bigger than it appears on the photos which made it easy for the adults to spread out and the children to play. The shower was excellent too. All in all I would highly recommend. I will add check-out is 10am, which was a little earlier than we were hoping but understandable during COVID. We would definitely come back!

"The property was a lovely welcoming home, much bigger than we expected and had excellent facilities (Inc."
dish washer, washing machine, baby high chair and even a coffee machine (which we didn't use as we brought our own but we could save space next time)), all the rooms were big and inviting.
It was lovely to have a snug as well as the living room as it meant we could watch videos while the others were watching their TV programs.
Bedrooms were very cosy and comfortable and bathroom spacious, linen and towels were of high quality and the downstairs toilet was handy aswel. The log fire was lovely so make sure you take logs with you or buy from the local co-op (the logs in the cottage are for display purposes but you could tell that some people had already taken a couple which is naughty)
The location was perfect, close enough to walk into Bowness within 5 minutes with everything on your doorstep and fantastic walks behind the property with a beautiful view over Windermere.
The property is extremely dog friendly and the rear entrance made it easy to take dogs for a walk especially with wet weather and muddy boots (there is also an external hose at the back of the property so you can rinse your welly boots).
We had a lovely stay and would definitely consider Brinkburn in future. Thank you for making it such a special holiday!
