"This is our 3rd visit to Oakes cottages and we have again had a lovely holiday."
The cottages are really clean, comfortable lots of space and set in beautiful woodland surroundings. Bowness is a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes drive away. The team are friendly and helpful, any enquiries or a general chat the staff team are happy to offer help and advice. The hot tub is perfect after a busy day visiting places in lakes, and the log burner kept us really warm in the evenings. I would definitely recommend staying here and hopefully we will be able to visit again soon.

"This is a lovely facility and well kitted out."
The welcome pack was a nice touch too. The only issue was the oven. It might need servicing as it didn’t function well and didn’t reach the temperature it was set to. Often we were cooking much longer than ordinarily needed.
It didn’t detract from our stay too much but was v frustrating.
We would stay again.
Thankyou

"We Had a fantastic stay."
The house was in a lovely location with walks direct from the door. Other activities were available nearby. We ordered several of the food boxes which were waiting for us on our arrival which were very good and soon disappeared!! We would love to return and highly recommend this cottage.

"All of us had an amazing time it was a home it didn’t feel like someone else’s cottage the comfort was amazing even the staff member who kept refilling the hot tub we got in before he removed the hose and he checked on us making sure the hot tub was okay and then even when the snow landed on the Monday he even wished us a safe journey the cottage has everything you could want, and from the information we were supplied they do cater for any needs that you put out there overall 5* place and only a 5 minute drive to Windermere great views from the windows!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Beech cottage to celebrate my wife’s 60th Birthday, our concerns about being large enough to accommodate a family of 10 were unfounded as there was more than enough space both inside and out to give everyone their own space whenever needed."
The location was fantastic, just far enough out of town for peace and quiet but great exercise for the walk up and down into Bowness enjoying the beautiful countryside on the way.
The beds were all so comfy and the bathrooms were all of a very good standard with brilliant showers .
We had a wide variety of wildlife at the cottage including Red Deer, which the children loved to see.
All in all a fabulous holiday and will definitely return in future .

"The cottage (Beech) was excellent, with a beautiful view."
I don't think the other cottages on the site had such a good view, however. The cottage was well equipped and they provided plenty of wood for the burner. There were 7 of us for the Easter break and we had plenty of room. The site felt pleasant and relaxing.

"We were extremely happy with the property in general however there were problems with the boiler which meant we had no hot water on the Saturday which meant 8 people either had to have a cold shower or none at all."
We did report it and the owner came round on the Saturday afternoon and sorted the pressure but as soon as we turned the shower on in the evening it went off again. Unfortunately by the time she could get round again it was too late as we had to be out for a restaurant reservation. This was really disappointing and inconvenient especially due to the amount of money we paid. We are looking for some kind of reimbursement for the inconvenience?

"An excellent location, beautiful views and lovely holiday home."
It would have been great if a few more kitchen items were there (foil, cling film, perhaps a little welcome pack of bread, milk, wine) as lots of rentals now offer this. It can be hard to guess what will and wont be provided. Now the weather is getting a bit chilly and because we had small children in our party, it woul have been preferable to be able to control the heating ourselves instead of call the owners. We had a fab time in the lakes and will definitely be back!
