"I was disappointed by this service considering we plaid close to £500 for 2 nights."
I feel ripped off.
The directions on how to find that actual flat was a nightmare, parking is awful. The actaul flat entrance is on the main street, there is no mention of this on the booking or ad for the flat.
We had no hot water for the first night and we supplied with half a roll of toilet paper for 3 people for 4 nights

"Jean Paul of Orion services accessed our entry to this flat after 3 hours!"
!!!!We were unable to open the "BOX" to get key!!!! Then we were unable to start the electric cooker hobs because WE do not know that this is induction cooker and requires specific weighted "Pans" to start the cooking facility!!!!Why were we not advised of this.Again Jean Paul of Orion helped us!!!! Again we were unexpecting the flat was on 3rd floor.We are retirees!!!! This holiday flat was overalll,because of above instances, a complete disaster!!! We will never use Sykes again because we were not advised of any of above.In fairness Sykes staff ,who worked bank holiday weekend were terrific but we spent 15 pounds worth of phone calls!!!!

"The flat is very small - OK for the two of us but I think describing it as suitable for four id being optimistic."
It can sleep four but you have to move the sofa to get two people at the table and it would be virally impossible to seat 4 at it.
The fan oven didn't work (just blew cold air) but the management company were responsive. I don't know if they managed to fix it quickly as we left after one night.
Not impressed by Sykes Cottages generally - when the Covid lockdown scuppered the stay we had booked in April we were only given the option to rebook for a future date rather than cancel and receive either our money back or credit for a future booking. Having to rebook for an arbitrary date (and pay extra!) meant that we were stuck with going this October which was not ideal and the reason we just stayed one night. Hence we wasted a lot of money and won't be using Sykes again.

"Eve's Attic is in a great location in the centre of Bowness."
. Very clean and cosy apartment with car parking at the rear. Even if you have no car or want to leave it at home it's 5 minute bus ride from Windermere train station. We used the local buses every day(free for us older folk). We had a great few days.

They had good collection of books/CDs and games as well. The only drawback was the absence of wifi.
Customer care were easy to get through and available when we needed them.

"The property was reasonably priced and suited our family needs almost perfectly."
However, the electric shower is a hazard. It went from scorching hot to cold so unusable. Instead, we had to share the water in the bath, which for a family of four, was not ideal.

"Enjoyable short stay in this cosy apartment in what is our favourite part of the country."
Everything that you need is close at hand, with plenty of choices to eat out and many visitors attractions just a short trip away. Having been used to a memory foam bed, we found the bed slightly uncomfortable ( maybe just our preference ) - but that was probably the only slight negative side of things ..... don't let that put you off though if you are thinking of choosing this on your visit to Windermere.

"The directions to the flat were the worse I have ever come across."
We spent at least 30 minutes driving around and walking around trying to find the flat entrance. Nowhere does it say that the building is 25 Quarry Rigg. Renters are told that access to the flat is by the side of a tattoo shop. There is no tattoo shop. On arrival, it was apparent that the apartment had been very superficially cleaned. I have photo evidence of the bombay mix and empty drugs packet lying on the floor of the second bedroom. There was a thin film of dust over the dining table. Compared with other self-catering accommodation that we have stayed in, it was very unwelcoming.

"The location of the apartment was ideal being near plenty of eating and drinking options plus the car parking was really useful."
The apartment itself was well equipped and comfortable but the directions for the stair access needs updating, probably next to the cash machine would be more accurate. However we were more than satisfied with the facilities.

"We were overall disappointed with Eve’s attic."
When we arrived it hadn’t been cleaned properly so we had to call the maintenance number to get them to come back. Also all dishes had to be re washed before eating and drinking ...not a good start to our holiday. We did expect it to be small and basic which was fine but it just wasn’t comfortable. The sofas were tiny, poor quality and uncomfortable ...they were so light when you sat on them you slid across the room. We have a child so we can’t stay out all evening so we wanted to relax in the living room which sadly we couldn’t really do. Finally I attempted to have a bath on 2 occasions but there wasn’t enough hot water and I ended up in a Luke warm bath.

"Location of the flat is excellent, right in the middle of Bowness."
The accomodation is clean and tidy with a great view of Windermere from the living area, our 12 year old daughter and her best friend loved their bedroom, which overlooked the shops. Highly recommended place to visit and a great base to get around the area, we would definitely go back, perfect for small families amd groups, everything is on your doorstep but also nice and quiet.
