“I don't feel the photos do the property justice as we found it much more spacious than expected.”

Great location and lovely property. Only 2 issues; the back door wouldn't open so we had to trek around to the bins daily. And there just weren't enough cooking utensils or equipment. Apart from this we loved it! Always able to park and very comfortable inside.

“Great location and still easy to park”

“The position of the property was excellant with parking spaces on the street and overall we settled into "our" new home quickly.”

If I may highlight a few details which I thought would have improved our stay slightly: Only the window in the front master bedroom opened, non of the others did and it was very warm during our stay. The rear patio needed a good sweep which I would have been happy to do but there was no brush. Weeds in the front garden which I did remove eventully as they annoyed us all. The kitchen needed more utensils. All this said I would book this property again.

“Lovely spatious house which was clean and cosy.”

Overall this was great for 5 of us. The location was perfect, short walk into Bowness-on-Windermere which had a wide variety of restaurants and shops, as well as being on the lake which was nice to sit by. There were a few quirks with the house which could be improved- a more powerful and hotter shower which is what’s needed after a day of walking. The some lights weren’t working in the basement room. Small touches like a house manual and information about the area would have been really helpful, and always make the stay feel more personal. Overall very happy here though!

“Overall the house was reasonably clean but the first impression as we approached the front door was trepidatious as the path was overgrown with weeds and was dirty.”

The front garden is sadly neglected. It would have been nice to use the back yard but it was really dirty and full of weeds and there was not a sweeping brush. A washing line would have been useful too. The bedrooms were okay but the bed in the back room was so uncomfortable it was impossible to get a good nights sleep. The mattress needs to be changed. The downstairs bedroom felt cold and damp. We found a slug crawling up the wall!

“1. Drying machine not working 2.”

No socket for shaver 3. Water pressure at the Bath room seems not enough which makes it difficult to adjust the water temperature and hence wastes a longer period of time for shower. 4. No hand-washing soap

“Cottage was spacious, in good condition and clean.”

The location is great for visiting places and walking to the shops and cafes of a Bowness or Windermere. There were however a few things that were a little disappointing: We requested a cot and high chair, but these were not provided - luckily we had brought our own anyway. We have stayed in many self catering cottages over the years and this kitchen was the worst equipped by some margin. There were no sharp knives for preparing food. No potato masher. No cafetière. No tea or coffee. No salt or pepper. Although there are three bathrooms listed, the shower is basically useless in one of them, the bath is tiny in another, leaving just the ensure of any functional use. Overall I would consider staying there again the future (taking our own kitchen equipment), but I think there are better cottages available. Sykes themselves were responsive and helpful.

“The house itself is wonderful with a great location it's just lacking cleanliness, glasses Sorry, skirting boards filthy, we couldn't get the dishwasher to work, couldn't find instructions anywhere.”

Also lacking small touches like maybe some hand wash in the bathrooms and blankets as when we arrived the house was absolutely freezing and took all night to get warm. Other things like a mirror for the ladies to get ready and perhaps a hair dryer. Most places we've rented have one but luckily the hardware shop in town had one. Also last point tv in polish which we couldn't seem to change.
