  • "A perfect home from home, a perfect location."

    Perfect home in a perfect location. Gorgeous views, opposite the bus stop, few mins walk into Bowness, Felt safe being a solo female traveller. Spacious, warm, clean, everything you need (except no facility for frozen food, not a problem) The bed was so comfy, honestly wanted to bring it home! Small issue of bathroom light going and maintenance were on it straightaway. Can't wait to return! Big thank you to the owners.

    Perfect for 2 and had everything we needed. Great location. Just perfect for the week we had.

  • "Compact and comfortable."

    Lovely airy front room - I just loved sitting in the bay window watching the world go by and the rain fall (quite a lot!) Kitchen a tad small but usable.

  • "Lovely well equipped and clean little flat."

    Great central location if you’re looking to be close to all the bars, restaurants and shops etc that Bowness has to offer. It’s just a 5 or 10 minute walk down to the lake and there’s a bus stop just over the road if you’re heading to Windermere, Ambleside or Grasmere. The cinema is also just over the road. We didn’t use the parking permit as we found an on street parking space a few streets up which was just as close as the short stay car park. WiFi worked well too. Only complaint was the 9am check out time on departure which is earlier than most of the other places we stay and meant an early rise on our last day. Would definitely be happy to return though.

  • "A little maintenance is needed and a better clean of the bathroom."

    The bathroom sink taps drip constantly. There were hairs on the wall above the bath and much dust and muck under the sink. How anyone could miss that I have no idea! The shower was brilliant.

  • "This was a perfect base for a couples break."

    The flat was lovely and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Location was fantastic, close to lots of nice restaurants and within easy reach of beautiful walking spots. Our only small bits of feedback are that there was only one wine glass, and the en suite bathroom door was very difficult to close. Would definitely recommend this property!

  • "This property is in a prime location and although a little cramped in the bedroom and bathroom and quite noisy from the flat above when trying to sleep, it made a great base for a short stay and was amazing value for money, exceeding our expectations."

    The parking permit was a bonus and we had a great stay - thank you!

  • "Clean property."

    Well placed in Bowness for shopping and even getting to the lake. Cinema almost directly across the road. Compact apartment as can be expected due to it being in the town. Property might be more of a challenge for older ones or any with infirmities due to the number of steps to enter the property. And once inside to reach the flat door. The bed being against the wall on one side made getting in and out an exercise of itself if the bed is shared. The mattress being sunken into a wooden frame a little unexpected if use to mattress coming to the end of bed. Having said this the front room was spacious and quite comfortable. Flat was warm. Good to have a full length bath and no problem with getting hot water. Although there is a permit that allows you to park almost across the road, it is not a long stay car park which is about half a mile away. Ironically though if you check the web for 'streets that you can park for free near you', you will be surprised how close they are!

    Hi David ,I hope you enjoyed you stay at nutkins ,Thank you for your feedback, For the future guests I would like to clear up the issue of parking on quarry mount car park that is opposite to the apartment,The permit is a 24 hour permit , It can be used at the other carparks listed on the back of the permit also (Council confirmed today 2/06/23) Property Owner

  • "Very warm and cosy apartment - a perfect location in the centre of Windermere ."

    Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as steps outside the property and stairs inside to apartment . Kitchen and bathroom were small but adequate - mattress on bed was very comfortable and sofa bed in lounge also very comfortable for relaxing in the evening but not suitable if made up to a double bed . The decor was modern and clean but squeaky floors a bit of a problem especially from the flat above especially at weekend . But overall a lovely little place to stay and hope to return. Good communication from the letting company regarding keys and location .

    The boiler was not working when we arrived, so no heating or hot water. Two phone calls later and we were told an engineer would be coming out to look it that evening. As we were going out for a meal we left the key in the safebox and when we got back the problem was sorted, very good work especially on a Friday evening. Would recommend the apartment as a great place to stay.

  • "Fantastic location in Bowness, close to the lake, shops and lot of lovely pubs and restaurants."

    Apartment itself was as expected, cosy and comfortable, lovely bed, good facilities and nice view from the front. I would think it may be a bit cramped for four adults though, two adults absolutely fine and one or two children. It was great to have the parking permit included which you can use in quite a few car parks in the area and the office to collect it is just around the corner. Only slight complaint was that the heating was a bit of a pain, seemed like the only options were freezing cold or boiling hot, no thermostat to be seen and the hot water coming out the taps was scalding, not very safe for little ones. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay, thank you.

  • "This accommodation has an excellent position in Bowness."

    It is nice and close to walks, the lake and shops and restaurants. We have had a lovely week. Nutkins is good for 2 people and is a comfortable apartment. We did have a bit of an issue with the heating though as this only seems to be off or very hot. No temperature regulator. We would use Sykes again.

  • "We initially had trouble finding the cottage, as the sat nav just took us to the general area."

    We could have done with better description of the whereabouts of the cottage from the Sykes office. We walked around looking for the place for over an hour and had to make 3 calls back to the office (one went to head office, where the girl had no local knowledge, one was unanswered and on the third we were given a description of how to get to the apartment). Simple directions like - it’s above the Mere gallery, go up the alley between that and the sports shop and it’s directly on the left -would have saved a lot of trouble as it wasn’t apparent from the main road where the apartment was. Once we eventually got in, we were very happy with the apartment. It was a good size and very comfortable with all the home comforts. All the local amenities were within a short walk away. We will definitely stay here again.

  • "The location of Nutkins was really good - right in the centre of Bowness-on-windermere near restaurants, cafes and shops."

    This did however mean more traffic noise and we had restaurant workers making noise in the early mornings when they got home from work (from 1-3am which was really quite annoying). The apartment itself wasn’t as clean as I would expect...hair on bed and couch etc. The floor boards creeked throughout this entire apartment. Another annoyance was that the windows at the front did not open, so it was quite hot in the afternoons and there was no fan provided. It would have been nice if little things were provided such as hand soap and dishwashing liquid - we did not think to bring those things and it was a pain to have to go out and buy them. Overall we had a pleasant stay, but it definitely could have been better.
