“A really lovely apartment at a great price.”

The apartment was perfect for myself, my fiancée & our 7 month old daughter. I wouldn’t say you could get many more in it though. The location was absolutely fantastic right in the heart of Bowness.

The apartment was perfect for myself, my fiancée & our 7 month old daughter. I wouldn’t say you could get many more in it though. The location was absolutely fantastic right in the heart of Bowness. The only slight issue we had was the temperature in the apartment. It was really chilly and the place needs a couple more heaters as the radiators aren’t very good. Overall a lovely place and we would definitely return once it gets a little warmer!

“Olivia’s hideaway is in the perfect location to explore the Lake District and provided a cosy home base to cone back to.”

We loved how close the we were to the town centre and took advantage of the fantastic restaurant within walking distance. We happily return to this place again.

“Cosy and comfy”

Me and my boyfriend loved staying here! Very central to everywhere we wanted to go, even just nipping to the shop for snacks. A very comfy and cosy place to stay, was like it was our own little apartment and free wifi too! Bonus

“This was my first time booking through Sykes Cottages and it's safe to say I would certainly book through here again in the future.”

As for my specific apartment experience, the location couldn't have been better, it was in a fantastic area very close to local shops and restaurants. The facilities inside my apartment however were just okay. A review I saw about this apartment before I booked mentioned that a neighbour would have their television on loud until the early hours of the morning, this I thought wouldn't be an issue to me until I actually heard how loud it was to the point that I could work out what programme they were watching and on what channel. I could also hear every move the people in the apartment above made which unfortunately also included their toilet movements. This could be an issue if you're a light sleeper, thankfully, I am not. I also must comment on how mild the temperature was in the apartment, the electric fire and radiator heaters in the hall and bathroom really didn't suffice much but thankfully there was a portable electric heater stored in the bedroom cupboard which I managed to make use of although even that only gave out a steady flow of lukewarm heat. I would certainly recommend for the heating to be looked into here as during this time of year it doesn't quite meet the standards that you would expect, even if it would be to just replace the portable heater to something that gives off a little more warmth. As for the shower, it didn't give off much power but was manageable. There were also signs of damp coming through on the bathroom ceiling. Negatives aside, for the amount I paid for this four-night stay, and for my first experience booking through Sykes Cottages, I would say it was worth the money I paid. Upon arrival the digital key box was easy to use, the apartment was very clean and welcoming with very clear instructions in the manual including a little personalised map of the area which was very useful. This was my first time visiting the lake district and the apartment really is in a fantastic location with satisfactory amenities. The television even had access to Netflix (not already logged in to an account of course) which was a nice surprise, I certainly made use of that on an evening. Everything is on your doorstep within just a couple of minutes walk. The people in the area are very friendly and conversational, even when out on a walk you will find people saying hello or good morning/afternoon. I would certainly stay here again (during warmer months) for sure.

“Perfect Relaxing Stay”

Lovely relaxing break at Olivia's Hideaway. Location is excellent, right in the middle of Bowness. The apartment is quiet, comfortable with modern decor. Plenty of places serving breakfast nearby. Excellent value for money and will definitely stay again. Thanks

“We were not to happy to find big stains on the mattress protector, also beer bottles under the sofa.”

They really need to sort out the bed and sofa they were so uncomfortable and low to the ground ,also would be a good idea to write internet password down .one more thing warn people about the upstairs people because you will get no sleep when they have there tv on loud untill 4 in the morning

- Mrs Russell, September 2019

Thank you very much for your feedback, we are sorry to hear about the issues you have experience during your stay. Please be assured that each of these issues have been addressed and a new mattress is in place at the property. Sykes owner relations

“Perfect weekend away, highly recommend.”

Olivia’s Hideaway is the perfect setting for a couple’s weekend away. Stunning flat in stunning surroundings. The flat is situated in a great location, close to all shops, bars and restaurants. Very comfortable flat with everything you’d need and more! Would love to stay again.

“Perfect location for a perfect getaway in beautiful surroundings”

Recently returned from a lovely stay at Olivias hideaway. The flat itself was beautiful and is done to a really high spec. We were both really impressed when we arrived, the pictures really don’t do the flat justice.It was very clean and tidy with everything you could possibly need for a perfect little getaway. Location really sold it for us on this flat as you literally could not get any better as the shops, bars, restaurants and the lake were all within a 5 minute walk. Easy to find with parking on site which is a bonus as we know ourselves how hard parking can be in the lakes. Enjoyed it so much we have already booked to go again.

“Perfect weekend away”

We Have visited many hotels in bowness and all have not been walking distance into the town. This apartment was literally on the door step of bowness and is very easy to find if you are not from the area. The parking is a night mare anywhere in the lake district and this apartment came with a free parking space just outside where you will be staying. It was very clean on arrival and had everything we needed for the night , it was such a lovely area and the room was perfect! we will be booking again.
