Mr Beale
October 2020

“What a fantastic location, waking up to the views of water and forest was incredible, whilst laying in what I can only describe as the comfiest bed I've slept in - which was needed after hiking up mountains all day.”

...

The house was perfect, great kitchen which comes with washing machine and dishwasher for those lazy people, oven stove, microwave and everything else you could possibly need. Such a lovely touch to be welcomed with a basket of local goodies, jams, coffee and even beer and Gin which started off our weeks holiday perfectly - we just needed a butler to pour it all out for us. The ONLY criticism we had, was the sofa wasn't the comfiest, which we believe others have commented on, after trekking up Scafell or one of the other many local mountains, nothing better to come back and crash on a big comfy sofa with your partner, however the sofa didn't quite allow us to do this - but a small issue amongst many positives. I will also say that the description of the place didn't do it justice. Be warned though, the ferry is needed for you to get around, its £5 each way - so plan for this... couldn't have been happier with the place - would go back in a heart beat! Sykes were also fantastic, quick to answer any questions or ease us of any concerns (Lockdown / Covid)

“We had such an amazing stay at Lowe McConnell that we've booked for next year!”

We got married in the Lakes the day before our stay and this was the perfect relaxing stay we needed. The accommodation is stunning, contemporary and has the most amazing views. Everything you need is in the cottage even a welcome pack containing milk and condiments. The WiFi was reliable and there was a useful folder containing information about the appliances and leaflets about the surrounding area. The ferry across to Bowness is on the doorstep and runs every 20 mins and costs £1 per foot passenger and £5 per car. There is also little takeaway hut called The Hatch which does tasty flamed orange hot chocs! The cottage is situated within easy access by car to all locations throughout the Lake District. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone who is a keen walker and loves the heart of Lakes.

“Lovely location, with easy access to everywhere.”

Ideal being as close to the west shore ferry as you could possibly get, literally a stones throw. Lovely view from the balcony, and waking to see the lake and boats from the bedroom windows! We had a lovely stay, thank you.

Mr London September 2020

“The Location and Cottage was just lovely, amazing views of Lake Winderemere were stunning,lovely walks, Lovely villages to visit,nice shops and good selection of places to eat and drink.”

Good National Trust places to visit, 1 week is not enough to explore the outstanding beauty of the Lake District. We hope to visit again in the near future.

The hot water went off for 2 days which meant showering and washing up was a problem, I telephoned to report it and it was eventually back on

“We had a great time thanks.”

The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. Our only small suggestion would be to have more cutlery and crockery. We found we were constantly having to put the dishwasher on because there was only 2 per person of everything. As others have noted, a foot stool in the lounge would be very welcome - we improvised with the dressing table stool! Generally, with Sykes I would say you need to invest in more customer service operators. We have called 3 times in the last few weeks and each time were told there would be a wait of up to an hour. I don’t really think this is acceptable. We had to find other ways to resolve our queries.

“Very comfortable cottage.”

Amazing views from the lounge & bedroom. Great food at pub - 1 mile, Beatrix Potter’s house 1.5 miles - great walking area. We loved our holiday and hope to return.

“Beautiful high quality accommodation”

We stayed here over New Year. It is a beautiful property. Everything in it is of a really high quality. The bed was really comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was warm and cosy which was great to come back to after doing many of the walks right on your doorstep. Very relaxing to watch the moored boats floating outside the living room window or from the bedroom window. The bathroom was very stylish. We loved it here and would highly recommend it.

“This accommodation ticked all the boxes for us.”

It is a very stylish contemporary appartment. Everything in it is of a very high specification. It was really comfortable especially the bed. We stayed over New Year and it was lovely and cosy which was great to come back to after many of the lovely walks on the doorstep. The situation of the property is beautiful as it is right on Lake Windermere. We loved sitting in the living room or in bed watching the boats moored on the Lake drifting around. A real relaxing property.

“The property is really well equipped and the welcome pack of teas, ground coffee and locally made preserves, plus a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge, was an unexpected and welcome surprise.”

The views from the lounge and bedroom are beautifully restful and the property was very cosy, warm and comfortable.
