  • "Just returned from a fantastic week in Snowdrop Cottage."

    The property was immaculate, comfortable and well equipped with a lovely cosy homely feel.

  • "We are just back from a short stay at the lovely Snowdrop Cottage."

    Such a beautiful cottage, homely, comfortable, everything you could need for a perfect stay. We've stayed in many different cottages in Bowness, but Snowdrop Cottage was by far the best. We enjoyed the gas stove in the lounge area, especially in the chilly October evenings. All the furnishings were to a very high standard, and beautifully presented. The property was spotlessly clean. Parking was never a problem. With just a short walk in to Bowness to the many shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and of course to Lake Windermere all on the doorstep. We will definitely be staying at Snowdrop Cottage again.

    Really comfortable and relaxing stay.

  • "Snowdrop cottage is beautiful, homely and cosy with everything you could want."

    The welcome pack and fire pack were a joy and the cleanliness was exceptional. It is only a few minutes walk from the main street and we had no problem parking. The one thing I will mention was the awful smell in the kitchen on the first day. We soon realised it was the drainage from the bathroom as it came through the sink plughole when that tap was being run. I poured boiling water down which seemed to help a little. Please do not take this as a negative as it did nothing to spoil our stay. Also, we had no wi-fi at all on the last night....again, no one's fault. We would not hesitate to book again and would like to say "Thank you" for all the thought that has gone into making your visitors stays as warm and inviting as possible.

  • "Amazing cottage."

    Clean spacious, good furniture and appliances, comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen. Nice location, quiet & peaceful, easy walk to Bowness and Windermere, lovely walk to Brant Fell. Parking can be difficult, sometimes needed to park 1 street away. Sykes were very helpful and made the whole holiday more relaxing. Thank you.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Snowdrop cottage."

    The cottage was immaculate. It was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the shower over the bath had good pressure and there was plenty of hot water. The property was furnished to a high standard.

  • "This property was fantastic."

    It's location, cleanliness and the fact that it is so well equipped, made it an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District. We have stayed in a number of holiday properties over the years, in different localities but agreed that this is the best by far. We felt that a lot of care and attention has been taken in the furnishing and decor of the house, which really set it apart from others. We would not hesitate to recommend this holiday property and hope to stay again in the near future.

  • "Perfect holiday cottage."

    Beautifully appointed. Lovely bedrooms and the dressing room was my favourite room! A short walk into Bowness down the hill and Windermere in the other direction. We got parking outside on the road, which was great. All instructions were good and the 4 of us loved it all. Everything we needed was in the kitchen and the instruction booklet was useful on how to work the oven etc., and lots of leaflets with things to do in the area. A lovely big sitting room and dining table. Can’t fault it! Thanks for a wonderful week away!

  • "The cottage itself is within walking distance to both towns (Windemere and Bowness on Windemere)."

    The property is very clean and comfortable with all the essential things (washing machine, air-dryer, dishwasher). The only issue we had was parking. The cottage only comes with off-street parking which can be very difficult during peak holiday season. We were there over the long weekend on Easter holiday and have to go back early in order to find the parking space. Other than that, we give 10 out of 10 for the house.

  • "We had a thoroughly enjoyable week in Snowdrop Cottage over February half term."

    We also had fantastic weather. The cottage is perfectly situated within a 5 minute easy walk to Bowness. Bowness itself is beautiful and has so many lovely shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, you’re really spoilt for choice. We really enjoyed walking down to the Ferry Nab and walking up to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing point. The cottage itself is decorated beautifully and the beds were so comfortable. It was great for us, 2 adults and 2 small children (7 & 4). However the bathroom is tiny with no storage so I’m not sure how suitable it would be for children any older or for 2 couples. Also we found the sofa quite uncomfortable, the low backs and lack of foot stool or foot rest wasn’t to our comfort but that’s just personal preference. A couple of things that I felt were lacking compared to other cottages we’ve stayed in: champagne flutes, wine stop, foot stool, the knives were very very blunt, couldn’t even chop a tomato so this was annoying. The back gate was padlocked so to empty the bins we had to walk all the way round the back of the house and no recycling bins so had to take it all to Booths supermarket. My 4 year old also kept falling over on the tiles outside the property, they get very very slippery in the damp weather. Just needs a jet wash and some signage I think. On the whole a very nice stay but a few small amendments would make it fantastic.
