The property

Brinkburn is a quaint country cottage situated in the heart of the thriving town of Bowness-on-Windermere, resting alongside the beautiful Lake Windermere in Cumbria.

Boasting a stylish and well-presented interior with a spacious living room greeting you directly off the hallway.

Look forward to spending your evening curled up on the leather sofas and let the warming woodburning stove keep you warm during those chillier winter months.

Walk through to the dining area with plenty of seating to gather around and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, whilst catching up with the day's events.

The kitchen rests towards the rear of the cottage, with lovely white fitted units and sleek wooden worktops, housing a range of contemporary appliances so you can easily rustle up a meal for the whole family!

Retire to one of the three well-presented bedrooms, consisting of two doubles and bunk room, the ideal setup for a family looking to explore this wonderful region of Cumbria.

Each bedroom has been individually styled to provide a welcoming place to get some much needed sleep of an evening, with a family bathroom offering an elegant bath and shower over, so you can decide how best to prepare for your day.

Outside has a small patio area with lovely views across this historic town.

While you're in the area, there are a number of tourist attractions that are a muse-see during your stay.

The famous Lake Windermere is only a short walk away and provides opportunities for those interested in watersports, such as fishing and sailing.

Visit the National Trust property of Hill Top, which was the elusive Beatrix Potter's 17th century farmhouse, offering a look into how the famous writer once lived, filled with her very own furnishings and the historic stone walls and slate roof.

You are ideally positioned within the picturesque Lake District National Park for a plethora of countryside attractions, discover many trails and hillsides for some scenic walking and hiking.

Brinkburn is a delightful choice for a rural-based holiday to the heart of the Lake District National Park.

“Lovely house, great location.”

Minor issues with parking, no garden for the dog, and it would be nice to have had some basic condiments salt pepper olive oil, even a washing tablet

- Mr Fraser, June 2021
Mrs Clark April 2021

“Property was bigger and better than expected, Location Fantastic Would re book this property again, have stayed in other properties in this road, this is by for the best.”

Cleanliness could be increased shower screen water marked, door trims just need wiping down dust settled on trims quite thick. Glass in front door and back windows needed cleaning 5 min job done it myself, while waiting for family members to get ready.

- Mrs Clark, April 2021

Mrs Hatherell April 2021

“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.

- Mrs Hatherell, April 2021

Thank you very much for your feedback, we have also updated the description to relfect that the property has a washing machine.

Mrs Mcdevitt September 2020

“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

Mr Charlesworth September 2020

“The cottage was not ready for us at 4pm as the cleaners were still on site and didn’t finish until 4:20pm as they said they had been very busy that day, also there was lots of dust on some of the skirting boards and shelves,, the oven needs cleaning and was not very good for cooking.”

however we still had a lovely time

- Mr Charlesworth, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We are pleased that you had a lovely time despite the late check-in. We sincerely apologise for this. Please be assured that we have flagged the dust issue with the cleaners and that this has since been rectified. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Raja August 2020

“Really enjoyed this cottage .”

. lovely distance to town centre and even closer to Windermere too. Only wish was if the had an enclosed garden for the dog however I would still more likely book again.

- Mrs Raja, August 2020
Mrs Bottomley-davenport July 2020

“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!

- Mrs Bottomley-davenport, July 2020
Mrs Forsyth-taylor January 2020

“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!

“Sadly the property had not been cleaned upstairs after speaking to Jackie at Sykes a cleaner was round within the hour and was all sorted followed up with a further call to make sure I was satisfied.”

The following morning I received a call from Sykes making sure me and my guests had everything we needed. I thought Sykes were very sufficient in dealing with the matter and a courtesy call made us cared for.
