"Our stay was absolutely brilliant very clean and comfortable in the studio."
We were so relaxed staying there. Adrian & Elizabeth were wry friendly and on hand if we needed anything .
-
"The property was in a lovely setting and had everything we needed."
The host was very responsive and helpful when we contacted him both before and during our stay. I would recommend this as a relaxing place to stay.
-
"Very elegantly equipped and furnished tiny studio, but none the less it is small and the kitchen difficult to use without self injury!"
However excellent location for good walks, and not in crowded town!
-
"Very comfortable and well provisioned."
Good communication with hosts when needed. Being part of a larger house means plenty of heat and hot water pressure. A pleasant, tidy courtyard becomes an extension of the studio in good weather.
-
"We felt that the property was a just a bit too far to walk for something to eat at night."
-
"We absolutely enjoyed our stay and Elizabeth and Adrian have been perfect host!"
Thanks very much!
-
"The cottage is in a very quiet locatation just a short walk to Windermere or Bowness."
It is quite compact but perfectly adequate for two people. It has its own garden but you can also walk in the grounds which are lovely. Altogether an excellent base for our walking break.

"Having recently sold our touring caravan, we stumbled across the Sykes website."
After a short search we found The Studio near Windermere. The House, location looked very good. When we arrived it exceeded our expectations. Very good communications from the owners, who had thought of everything for our comfort. A beautiful house with stunning views, in a extremely quiet location. Really enjoyed ourselves, so much so we have already booked another Sykes cottage in Cornwall.

"Adequate accommodation for requirements although rather cluttered."
A slightly smaller table would have given a little more space.
-

-
"Excellent property and location."
Lovely walks on the doorstep and Bowness a pleasant half hour walk away - taxi back up a must for most people. The property is small and compact but has everything one could require. Owners very friendly and helpful without being obtrusive.
-
"This is a lovely studio with all that we needed."
The hosts were friendly and left us to our own devices. We had plenty of walks and used the maps left for us. Absolutely fantastic
-
"A really nice cosy cottage ,and loved that it was a little bit out of the centre."
Also lots of walks to do around the area, lots of information provided by the owners.
-
"Probably one of the most peaceful holiday let's I've ever experienced"
