"Excellent property, felt like being at home."
Very clean and tidy. Brilliant location. Hosts were lovely in contact before to check if we needed a travel cot for our son. Also left us a lovely welcome gift to celebrate our honeymoon. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! If you felt at home, as hosts we can't ask for anymore. We were a little nervous when we found out we were your chosen property for honeymoon so we're thrilled that you all had a great time!!! You're welcome back anytime and we wish you all the best in your lives together xx

"I will give the good feedback first."
The property is very clean, renovated very well and the host was very welcoming even letting us in early. It is also very close to the lake, less then a 10 minute walk.
The disappointing points is altho it stated there was a garden this is shared with the host family and is not fenced off, so wasn't able to leave the door open for air due to having my dog with me. There are no windows in the property so your only option is to leave the door open, which if you have your dog with you is not possible.
The other disappointing thing is you are woken very early hours to banging from upstairs, so not the romantic hiking trip we had planned.
The hot water runs out very quickly, resulting in an old fashioned strip wash out of the sink.
It was also very cold. The guide left in the flat stated you can adjust the temperature by turning the radiators, but no heating came on. Luckily there are extra blankets in the property.
I would definitely go back to the lakes but unfortunately would book a different property next time.
Many thanks for your feedback and recognising our high standards of cleanliness and renovation. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by any noise but this is not uncommon when booking a ground floor apartment. As courteous owners, we always ask our guests to let us know if they have any issues. If you had contacted us, we would have had the opportunity to explain that a water leak had tripped our mains electricity and therefore the boiler was not turned on to heat the water. We were unaware that this had happened and fixed the issue as soon as we noticed. We really want our guests to be able to enjoy the use of a garden and we are always looking at ways to improve the experience for our guests so you will be happy to hear that since your visit we have erected a picket fence and gate so all dogs will now be safe and enclosed. We chose to reflect the fact that the property has one window in the bedroom and a set of double doors in our 'Wonky Burrow' name. We're a characterful quirky property and we both understand and respect that not every property suits everybody. We wish you all the best for your future travels in the Lakes.

"Only suggestion is a fence outside patio doors so visitors can sit outside without feeling they are in the owners back yard/ garden."
Thank you for your feedback. It's our pleasure to share our garden with our guests.

"We had a lovely stay and the family was very friendly."
The place it self is very nice and big enough for 2 plus our pet dog but if your dog needs to be out side it is not an enclosed space. You do need to make sure your dog is on a lead at all times when you are sitting out in the yard as there are other dogs in this residential area. The shower could be better as the pressure wasn’t great so if you have long hair you will need to spend longer in there LOL
The family that owns this does live above and there was noise but on our last day they did say that some noise preventing flooring was going down so this issue may have been resolved.
Overall we had a lovely time and if these issues are addressed we would be more than happy to stay again in the future.
I would like thank the owners for the welcome treats for our dog and the bottle of wine for us it was a very nice gift and very thoughtful.
Thank you ☺️
Many thanks for your review Lisa; we are glad that you all had a lovely time! Apologies for any noise that you may have heard throughout your stay but you are correct, we have now laid rubber soundproofing and a 12 inch plywood subfloor. Wiith our carpet, wood flooring and underlay throughout on order, we are positive that should you stay with us again - you will hear very little if anything at all. We also really want our guests to be able to enjoy the use of a garden and we are always looking at ways to improve the experience for our guests, so you will be happy to hear that since your visit we have erected a picket fence and gate so all dogs will now be safe and enclosed. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

"Wonky Burrow was adorable, lovely finishing touches with branded glasses and coasters."
Really cosy and comfortable, the mattress on the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! It's a stones throw away from the town, so a great location. Has everything you need for a lovely break! We'll definitely book again.
Many thanks for your lovely review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and would be happy to book again. The comfort of our mattress ☁️ is certainly proving popular with our guests and is regularly being mentioned. Hope to see you again x

"Really nice apartment renovated to a lovely standard."
Great comfy bed and plenty of room for us 2 and our dog. Felt very clean and fresh. A short walk into Bowness. Easily found parking on the street. We were lucky to have glorious weather so could sit in the back yard too.
Owners were very nice and friendly and easy to contact if needed. As they live upstairs with their family we could hear quite a bit of movement.
Just a note that the kitchen only has the very basics so we didn’t have any oil, salt, pepper etc for cooking.
Thank you for your feedback Leanne, we're glad you enjoyed your stay. We are a self-catering holiday cottage so things like oil etc are not provided. We do hope you enjoyed the complimentary wine though.

"This was such a lovely place to stay."
We will definitely be staying there again. Vicki the owner answered any questions i asked. They left us some fizz and a card as a welcome present. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable stay. The standard of everything is excellent. We had excellent nights sleep in the super comfy king size bed. We will be recommending to friends and family. It is so close to everything in the heart of Bowness.
