Kempton

The property was of a high standard of comfort and cleanliness and we had a very happy week there and would definitely visit again.

The accommodation was spacious and very clean.

We did have some problems with the hot water and the heating but owners were very quick to respond themselves and sent a plumber. Because of the the inconvenience we received some compensation without even asking. Very commendable and much appreciated. Would have liked some thicker towels - the ones provided are very thin. Sink in the second bedroom needs a light over it as difficult to see. There is no longer a Juliet balcony in the lounge

The owners are very attentive and any queries are dealt with straight away, nothing was too much.

The property was very clean and the welcome pack was a lovely touch.

The cottage was in a great location but the bedrooms were very cold and damp.

The shower in one room leaked all over the floor. Dishwasher and t towels smelt horrible, we had to wash them and put the dishwasher on an empty load to clean. Very disappointed with our stay

Convenient location.

Clean and comfortable. One of the bedrooms is rather small and compact. Beds comfy. Price reasonable. Excellent communication giving details of our holiday beforehand.

Lovely holiday home in a perfect position for both Windermere and Bowness as both in easy walking distance.

Everything was catered for and we were made to feel welcome by the owner who was on call if we needed anything. Comfortable, clean and warm. We definitely would love to return. Ideally situated for restaurants, bars and shops and only a 10 minute walk to Bowness pier.

The property was exactly as described.

It was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were fabulous and very accommodating. The location of the property was great, and there was parking for 3 cars, which was a bonus. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

We had a great stay here, clean comfortable property in a good location

A great property in a great location.

Easy to walk into Bowness and well placed to drive to any other location in the lakes. The property itself was clean and spacious while the kitchen had everything you would need to cook. Absolutely no complaints and will happily recommend this place to friends and family.

We had a lovely week at Kempton.

The property was very well presented with everything that we needed. Also an excellent location. Georgie the owner gave excellent information on the house beforehand and communication from her was first class all week. Many thanks for a great week

We couldn’t fault our stay at Kempton.

The accommodation and location were fantastic. It had everything you needed, although we did eat out most days there was everything you would need to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location is absolutely perfect for walking down to Bowness and up to Windermere . We found we didn’t need to use the car as much as everything is on your doorstep. So many bars and restaurants, all of which are dog friendly which is a must for us. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ve already booked the Kempton for next year. Would highly recommend the Kempton. Furnished beautifully, very clean and tidy. Oh and a welcome gift which was much appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay and looking forward to next year

Location good, the house was superb and added to our visit to Bowness

We were dissatisfied at finding soiled sheets on our beds.

The beds had been remade with dirty ones. We had to contact the owner for clean bedlinen. She gave us a refund of £40 for inconvenience but to be Frank with that was not what I call a goodwill gesture but an insult. The kitchen is very very tired. There was not sufficient cleaning products that I would expect to clean any spillages. Towels were marked or had bleach discolouring on them.

Kempton is a lovely house within a short walk of lake windermere and all the shops and restaurants in Bowness.

The accommodation was easy to find following great communication from the owners, clean and tidy, well equipped for a family and has a lake view, what more could you ask?

Had a Great holiday.

went with our daughter.son inlaw.and granddaughter. beautiful house great location.had a slight problem with wifi contacted owner sorted immediately. what more can you ask everything there you could want, even toys for my 9 month old granddaughter.highly recommend for anybody wanting a relaxing stay everything on your doorstep thank you.

Amazing holiday place Spacious beautiful Home from home Ideal location

Overall an excellent stay.

Nice clean rooms. Good bathroom facilities with all rooms ensuite. Kitchen with all the essentials. And the bonus for kids a TV which you can air- play onto. Good variety of Restaurants less than 10 mins walk away( one across the road). Good access to the bus and less than 15 mins walk to the main centre of Bowness ( and the Beatrix Potter Museum) and a mile from Windermere town centre. Pretty good access to roads to get to all parts of the lakes. We really enjoyed our stay, and would thoroughly recommend it.

The property location could not be better, only a couple minutes walk from the centre of Bowness.

. Kempton overall was comfortable. It does what it says on the tin as they say.. The one downpoint for us is that it is in need of an overall /refurb etc. It feels tired, and in places looks tired. We found mould on the back of the curtains in the dining room, that was worrying as we had a guest with severe asthma. Overall yes we enjoyed the break and Kempton served its purpose but unfortunately I dont think some of our friends will look at booking the property again..

Lovely cosy property, comfy beds, great location!

We had a wonderful week all 6 of us with the dog.

We had a fantastic stay at Kempton.

Very comfortable and spacious for 5 people and a dog! Kempton had everything we needed, great communal spaces, spotlessly clean and an amazing location to Bowness & Windermere with a very short walk to the lake front! Huge bonus of large living area with gorgeous dining room. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends! We've stayed in many places in Bowness throughout the years and this property was by far the best! Thank you so much Georgie for making us feel so welcome!

Friendly owners,made you feel welcome and able to contact them if there were any problems.

Well equipped accommodation all rooms have en suite bathrooms which gives you privacy even when staying with family. Plenty of nice little touches to make the accommodation feel homely cds,dvds and local information a plenty. Quick and efficient at returning housekeeping bond at the end of our holiday, thank you. Would stay again at this accommodation.

Excellent comms with the owner.

Nice little touches on arrival such as biscuits and wine. Perfect location just a short walk into town and very easy to find and park. A real gem.

An enjoyable week in a spacious and comfortable cottage.

The cottage was very comfortable and we had a great time.

We also used the beresfords restaurant and we're made very welcome when we told them where we were staying.

We all enjoyed our week at Kempton, a very comfortable, clean and well equipped house.

We would recommend and would stay there again if we visit the area again. We did have a problem but it was solved immediately by a phone call with Georgie, fantastic service! The house is very convenient for Bowness, just a short walk for the shops and places to eat which was great as parking during a bank holiday weekend could be difficult. Lots of lovely places to visit in the area, Ambleside, Wray Castle, Tarn Hows and lots more.

The property was very clean and well maintained.

It was like home from home and would recommend stay there

This is a beautiful cosy little home in a great location right in the middle of Windermere and Bowness.

It has all of the facilities you could possibly need. We were a party of 4 adults and 1 dog, the location was great for walking him as well as going out for food/drinks/exploring etc. The homeowners were absolutely brilliant too, ensuring we had everything we needed and our security deposit was returned straight away on returning from holiday. We will definitely be visiting again.

Had a lovely weekend at the Kempton.

Location superb , facilities great , would definitely return out of season as excellent value for money end of Feb .

Lovely house with parking and spotlessly clean.

Nice and warm during the stormy weather and great having all rooms with en-suite facilities. Some decor dated but if you don't mind this it's a good holiday house with a view of the Langdale hills across Lake Windermere. Very comfy sofas! Owners have excellent communication if you ask them a question and a package of treats including wine was a lovely welcome for us. Great location for heading south to the aquarium, the local cinema was good and just a few minutes walk down the road, and not far to drive to Ambleside, Grasmere, Elterwater etc.

A really lovely stay in a really lovely property.

Very clean and comfortable and close to everything you could need. 5 stars from the Mrs and I. We will be back for sure.

Ideal property for three couples,very well equipped, very centrally located but with excellent private parking for three cars.

Owners very attentive and brought an issue reported by the previous guests to our attention and corrected it immediately. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Nice welcome gift from hosts.

Very central for Bowness. Lovely bathroom. Every need catered for.

One of the nicest houses we have stayed in.

It was clean and well equipt. Central to widermere and bowness. We will definately becoming back

The accommodation was perfect.

Plenty of space and close to local amenities.

The Kempton accommodation was ideally situated to explore the beautiful surrounding areas.

It was really like home from home very comfortable inside and the outside area was a real bonus for my family and dogs. We have just returned from a fabulous break.

Brilliant communication by host.

Accommodation perfectly stocked and equipped. Lovely welcome pack. Definitely recommend

Fabulous house, great location .

The house is situated between Windermere and Bowness and all the facilities they have to offer. A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival. Nice sunny bbq area to rear of the property. Great to have parking for three cars. Any problems we had were sorted out quickly.,

We had a very comfortable week in this well appointed house which was a few minutes walk to the local shops and the lake.

Many boat trips can be booked just up the road. The situation is very convenient with ample off road parking. Having 3 bedrooms all with ensuites was ideal for privacy and comfort. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. It was very quiet and we totally relaxed all week. The owner communicated with helpful check in details/Covid requirements so we had no worries. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely clean house to others.

Great location, very short walk to amenities and lake Windermere.

Good spacious living room and comfortable furniture, also separate dining area which was ideal as lockdown restrictions meant only outdoor eating for restaurants so had breakfast in (kitchen equipment and cutlery all good standard). Bedrooms all decent size and all with en-suite, 1 en-suite also had huge bath which was great to relax in. Good communication with owner for checking in & out etc. Would recommend and will likely stay again.

Feather cushions on settee - I am allergic to feathers so ill after 7 days.

Hardly any channels on TV - probably needs tuning. House itself OK but smaller kitchen than expected by photos.

Had a fantastic stay at Kempton Cottage.

Communication from start to finish was excellent. The property itself is in an very good location, close to amenities and the centre of Bowness. There is also a lovely view of the lake out of the lounge window. All 3 bedrooms have their own bathroom which comes in very handy when there are 5 of you trying to get ready at the same time. The property has everything that you need and more. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy. The beds are very comfy too. Cannot wait to book again for another trip. 100% can recommend x

Brilliant holiday home, especially for a family of 6 as we all had our own bathroom and plenty of room upstairs to spread out.

Excellent location as just a 5-10 min stroll to all the main attractions. The house has everything you need for a great trip, there was even tea and coffee and we really appreciated the little hamper of biscuits and wine and even some lovely doggy biscuits that went down a treat. Georgie was an excellent host, nothing seemed too much trouble. The kettle wasn’t working and she was there first thing in the morning with a new one! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!

Kempton is perfectly located for exploring both Bowness and the wider Lake District.

A home away from home, excellently equipped and spotlessly prepared and Georgie was always available at the eend of a phone if we needed anything. The "upside-down" layout is perfect for making the most of the location , even if the infamous Lake District weather did its best to try to obscure the view of the lake and surrounding areas. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

House was in a great location and provided us with a great base for exploring the surrounding area.

Had a lovely week.

Lovely house with everything supplied, We found two of the en-suite bathrooms a little cramped.

All in all a lovely house with all the facilities of Bowness within easy waking distance

The house was well-furnished, warm and comfortable as a base during the cold, wet conditions of 'Storm Dennis' in Feb 2020.

The owner provided excellent information prior to our stay and maintained effective communications. Cooking facilities are good and there are plenty of thoughtful touches throughout the house - including local information, maps, guidebooks and a selection of CDs, DVDs and board games. The en-suites for each bedroom made life easy. The house provides easy access to the village for shopping and eating out, and is a great location from which to explore the Lake District.

High standards, well equipped.

Comfortable, the 3ensuite bedrooms were ideal. Good location, only a short walk from shops etc. Good parking

Four of us stayed over Christmas 2019 four days.

It was the most relaxing and chilled four days of my life. We cooked Xmas and Boxing Day dinner in the well equipped kitchen. Plenty of utensils and pans etc. Very comfy lounge area and beds. Good communications with the host too. Cottage was decorated for Xmas with tree etc. Five mins walk from lake Windamere so ideal location. Definitely recommend.

Property is ideally situated between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere lots to do and great walks for dogs.

Property has nice views of the mountains and lake from lounge and kitchen, Lots of rooms and very comfortable beds all on suite. We had a great time

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful cottage.

A lot of thought has gone in to providing many things you need on arrival, such as tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, cooking oil, salt, pepper, washing up liquid, washing powder, bottle of wine, cleaning materials etc. There is everything you will need in the kitchen, everything easy to operate, the cottage very comfortable, fast WiFi and plenty of information available for sightseeing. The location is unbeatable, so close to the town with everything on your doorstep and in easy striking distance of the touristy places that are a must see. We were very lucky with the weather having really only lost one day to the weather, the rest of the week was mostly dry, plenty of sun and mild. The booking process and arrival process was easy, and the owner Georgeene contactable if required. Thank you once again, a fantastic week and we were sorry we had to leave.

We were disappointed with the view of the lake.

It appears the trees may have grown up and the view is not like the information supplied. It seemed to us it was meant for young families but as elderly visitors ( and this is not a complaint) we should have appreciated one or two little alterations such as a grab rail in the shower.

Excellent accommodation, extremely comfortable and all the facilities necessary to make the holiday enjoyable.

We had typical Lake District weather,wet and windy, but knew we had a warm and comfortable place to go back to in the evening

Kempton was a lovely house in the centre of Bowness close to everything we needed and wanted.

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Would definitely recommend it and if we were to return to Bowness would book it again. The beds were comfy and we slept well.

My family and I plus our Golden Retriever had a superb christmas at the Kemptons!

The house is fully equipped! Everything works well! Everything is within reach. The host is adorable and communicative! They left us a wine and a card plus a fully decorated house which was lovely! The organisation is excellent and professional from A to Z. The surroundings are amazing! We especially enjoyed a stroll around Windermere, Coniston, Buttermere etc! We are hoping to be back during summer!!

Cottage was easy reach to walk to town centre, it was very homely, owner left welcome milk and biscuits which was very welcome great holiday

Five of us visited for a long week end.

The standard of the house was excellent, extremely clean with everything you need to make your stay feel like home.Lovely view of the lake. Little extras which we didn't expect to have such as milk, ice cubes, a bottle of wine, tea, coffee and sugar were a nice touch. The owners were very accommodating, informing us that we could actually check in a little earlier than normal and also upon departure as our train was late in the afternoon allowed us to store our luggage at the house. The house is well located for easy access walking down into Bowness, plenty of local amenities only a few minutes walk away. Would totally recommend this property.

Great hosts, answered all our questions in a timely fashion and very helpful on the local area.

As soon as we saw the kitchen we felt at home as they provided a slow cooker to use. We usually have to buy one and leave it at the property. The large bathroom was spectacular as we're used to a small one at home. The owners left a bottle of wine and a welcome note. We were so impressed with the place and them, that we left them a bottle of wine and chocolates!

Lovely position for visiting around the area.

Very helpful owners . Would definitely go again

Great location.

good quality accommodation.good time had by all the party

Following our booking with Sykes, Georgeene from the cottage kept me updated several times on the run up to our holiday.

On arrival, entry to the cottage was easy. There was a box of chocolates, bottle of wine, litre of milk and a Christmas card waiting for us, which was much appreciated. There was a lovely Christmas tree and decorations to add to the Christmas spirit. Great location, minutes to the centre of Bowness, warm, comfortable, lots of information available for trips out etc, books, reading material, games, a bogey box, large TV on the wall, big fridge/freezer, well laid out functional kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and parking for 3 cars and wifi with a download speed of over 40 MB (wish I had that at home!). Of course, there is always room for improvement and some has been previously documented by other guests, but this hasn't affected how I rate this place. A lot of though has gone into this cottage so a big thank you, and yes, we would definitely return.

No, any problems we had the owner dealt with immediately.

Excellent service.

The property is in need of some updates.

The plumbing especially. Could really benefit from combi boiler as if shower in use couldn’t use kitchen water. Otherwise it was very nice. Location is perfect.

Booking through Sykes Cottages was quick and easy.

Nicki sorted my questions out quickly and made the booking very speedy. The cottage is clean, had everything you needed and in a fab location. A couple of minutes walk and you are into the main town. Plenty of things to do and places to eat.

Fabulous accommodation in a great location for an easy walk to the village and lake.

Helpful and responsive owners too.
