"It’s a lovely Cottage."
I’ve stayed here three times over the years and appreciate the extra homey touches the Owners provide. It is a bit annoying though that someone who works close shows up several times during the week with her “Beamer” and takes parking space in front of these Cottages. But that’s her rudeness. Not the Owners

"We had a fantastic holiday in the lakes staying at Charlotte’s Cottage."
The cottage was perfectly adequate for a small size family in a great location close to everything we needed. Great standards and facilities in the cottage, and the cleanliness was immaculate.
Many thanks
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and all that the property and area have to offer.

"Enjoyed our stay and the cottage fulfilled our needs."
Cottage was clean.
Excellent location in the centre of Windermere and near the train station/ bus stop for easy access to Bowness/ Ambleside. Can walk to Bowness also.
Limited parking on the street with permit as it's central, but permit allows you to park on other streets within the zone.

"Only problem was the parking."
Not enough spaces in the street for all the cottages so lucky to get and keep a space for the duration of the holiday.
If anyone had a disability it would make things hard for them if they could not park right outside. This should be made clear on the site so people know that although there is parking outside with a permit it doesn't mean they will secure a space. Other than that lovely cottage close to amenities, very clean and comfortable. Also the basement bedroom is not suitable for sleeping in as very cold and could feel the damp cold in the air and on the duvet even on a red hot summer day so couldn't sleep anyone down there for the full week so if you were thinking you had 3 bedrooms for your guests you only really have use of the 2 upstairs bedrooms.

"Property was clean and in a very good location, but far too many personal knick knacks and photos of the owners /and their family everywhere."
The sofa has seen better days / not very comfortable and the mattress on the king size bed was very hard indeed which meant we ached and had reduced hours of sleep. Also missing any sort of welcoming touch - most other places we have stayed have left a bottle of wine or at least a pint of milk and tea / coffee but there was nothing here.

"A lovely cottage in the heart of Windermere."
Very comfortable and clean. Only slight issue was parking (even with permit provided) but that was expected with it being a popular area. Would be very happy to return

"My friend and I booked to stay here and although the cottage was comfortable and in an exceptionally good location there were a few niggles."
The main one was actually getting into the cottage in the first instance. I’m in my mid 60’s and have stayed in many locations but this front door had us stumped. After a phone call to Sykes and some fiddling around we managed to get in. By this time both ourselves and our cases were soaking wet. We decided on a cup of tea before we went to Booths for supplies. We were both disappointed and a little surprised that there was no hospitality tray. No milk, tea, coffee, bread. There were two old looking teabags in a tin and some dried up coffee.
The next challenge came trying to get out of the cottage. Difficult when there is no handle on the inside. We worked it out eventually but our first night was spent worrying about access/exiting. All of this could have been alleviated if we’d been given instructions.
As I said the cottage is in a great location and ideal for the bars and restaurants. We didn’t need the fire which was fortunate as no wood was supplied.
Plenty of hot water and comfy beds.
As this property is a holiday let I’d take out all the family photos as that was a bit weird.
I’d recommend a stay here but take my comments into consideration.
Thankyou for your comments.
The cottage is our 2nd home and that is why the family photos are up. Property Owner

"Very cosy and comfortable."
Great location in Windermere, not far to walk from the train/bus station, restaurants and cafe's on the doorstep, yet it was a very quiet location. Kitchen fully equipped, fast wifi, helpful staff (who showed us the trick to opening the front door {pull door towards you and turn the key to the left at the same time} and who quickly organised for the shower to be fixed when we requested it be looked at). A few easy walks around the area (e.g. Orrest Head, and down to the lake). Buses available to other areas of the Lake District were also close by. My friends and I really enjoyed out stay.
Had some trouble paying online via Booking.com which made me panic a bit, but found the phone number given for the Sykes Cottages and they sorted it straight away. I would advise to book through Sykes Cottages site instead!

"The cottage is beautiful, and ideally located in the center ideal for pubs and great food."
A few things would make it even better. A better welcome pack, more information, a hairdryer would be great, more than 1 toile roll. Recommendations for food & drink would be helpful. We would defiantly come back x

"Perfect cottage for our break in the Lake District."
Centrally located in Windemere with amenities just a few steps away.
Our only issue was struggling to park close to the cottage over the bank holiday. It was just very busy.
