"Stunning property."
Beautifully clean and well equipped with quality furnishings in a fantastic location. We loved it and will definitely return. Just a note to the agents...the postcode provided in the email is incorrect so it took a little finding in the dark!!

"The settee had a horrible smell ."
The tap in the kitchen was very loose. I do feel the bushes out side the veranda could do with a good pruning as it spoiled the view of the lake.And that was one of the reasons we booked this cottage.

"Gorgeous property, in a great location."
Would have booked again if Sykes hadn't increased the cost by 50%!!! I accept companies need to recoup losses due to Covid but 50% increase is taking advantage of the situation. Have booked to go elsewhere with another company!!

"Yikes Sykes!"
We came last year and loved it so much we booked there and then for the same week this year. We were hoping to do the same and come again next year! Same time! Same place! However, last year we paid £450. This year was £650 which we thought was a steep increase but we accepted it. Next year is £950! Greedy Sykes! Sadly, we’ll go elsewhere!

"A well presented cottage in a lovely setting."
Unfortunately for us, the ferry was out of service for most of our stay and while we understand that this is not the responsibility of the owner, we had intended to use it as foot passengers to access Bowness, so this left us feeling a little isolated. However, the thing that might prevent us from booking this property again would be the significant increase in rental fees for next year, which we feel do not represent good value for a maximum of two adults. Otherwise we would certainly recommend the property.

"My wife and I had a lovely time."
The cottage and it’s location were first class. To have that view of the lake from our balcony every morning was great. To that extent we decided to book again for next year. On contacting yourselves, we were told that the price had almost doubled, which unfortunately put us off.

"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.

"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.

"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.
