“A beautiful cottage, and very well equipped.”

Perfect location for the shops, restaurants and pubs. We will definitely be returning.
Mr Devine February 2020

“Fantastic house for us to spend a few days away in a lovely part of the country.”

Our host Mrs Davis was fantastic with our requests and queries prior to our arrival. The house we stayed in was in a great location for all the local amenities in Windermere and local bus services to the other towns and areas.
Dr Crossley January 2020

“Loved the location of the property.”

The property was very clean and cosy, and the addition of the games room was fantastic. Could not have asked for a better property and will definitely be coming back.
Miss Sheldon January 2020

“The location of this property could not have been better - right in the centre of the gorgeous shops & restaurants in Windermere.”

The house was beautiful and finished to a high spec. It was clean, warm & a pleasure to stay in. Beds were super comfy & bed linen felt very luxurious. Plenty of towels provided, good Wi-Fi signal & the lovely addition of a welcome basket. Parking for our one car was easy, and the owner Rania was very helpful and responsive on text. I literally have nothing negative to say or suggestions to improve - it was a truly beautiful house.
Mrs Tomlinson December 2019

“Perfect location in Windermere, 30 seconds and you are on the Main Street with all the amenities at hand.”

Parking the car was a bit tight but a total bonus of not having to find somewhere to park. The accommodation had everything you require for a stay and a lovely touch of welcome pack.

Mrs Dowling-fox November 2019

“We had a fantastic time at the cottage.”

In terms of location it was ideal and on the doorstep of all the shops, restaurants and bars. The house itself was beautiful with everything you needed, this trip was with the girls but I will definitely be returning with my family.
Mrs Labouchardiere October 2019

“We had a great holiday at Number 16.”

The property was well maintained and very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for a great stay. We were staying for a walking holiday and we had no problem washing and drying wet clothes, and the shower and bath were very very welcome after a long day on the fells - very good bathrooms. The beds were comfortable with nice linen and the living room and kitchen were very comfortable for our group of 4. Windemere has plenty to offer in terms of shops and restaurants, and we also travelled just up the road to Ambleside for other great restaurants. We also used the health club passes for swimming and sauna. I'd recommend this property to anyone - a lovely home from home.
Miss Raggett September 2019

“Great house in perfect location near to everything”
Mrs Smith August 2019

“The location of this property was great.”

However we felt let down being one of the most expensive weeks of the year and it yet felt like ww were picking up the tail end of the summer usage. The equipment had been used and abused and we got the tail end. The dishwasher didn’t clean properly, could not read the dials on the cooker to tell what the temperature was, the shower leaked and we had blankets to sit on on the sofas which crumpled up and didn’t fit properly. I think for what was advertised as a luxury stay and for the price we paid it was a let down.

Thank you for your feedback though I am sorry to read some of your comments. We have checked the property and everything seems up to our extremely high standards as shown by our excellent feedback normally left on our property. The time of year is extremely busy as it is one of the most popular weekends of the year however, we do out utmost to maintain standards throughout the entire year. Sykes owner relations

“Great location and really well appointed accommodation- everything we needed and nothing we didn't”

“Great Location in Center of Windermere”

This is a fabulous cottage with plenty of room and car park at front of the house (plus additional parking on street with permit for 1 additional car). It is a hop and skip away from shops, restaurants, butcher, supermarket. Windermere train is within walking distance. The cottage is equipped for cooking and laundry. The owner is very responsive and helpful. It has 2 renovated and modern bathroom. Lots of closet and drawers for clothes if you are having a long stay. There are guest pass for nearby health club where there is a pool. We did not have time to go but is a nice plus. It is a nice 20-30mins walk to the lakes. Would recommend leaving your car at the cottage and just have a nice stroll to the lakes as it is difficult to find car park. This was a perfect location for us to explore different parts of the lake district as Windermere is quite centrally located.
Mrs Ottley June 2019

“Great cottage in a good location.”

Only thing that wasn’t accurate was it didn’t say the gym and pool were 2 miles away in a car.
Ms Fraser May 2019

“We had a lovely stay in No 16.”

Very clean, well equipped and a great location.
Mrs Stevens May 2019

“A lovely house to rent in Bowness, central position, no problem parking,spotless bedding in all bedrooms, a really lovely rental.”

We had plenty of space for 6 adults on our weekend break. The owner was very obliging and easily contacted, it was my birthday and the owner left me some flowers with a gift card which was really lovely. Would recommend to anyone if wanting a central rental in Bowness, close to shops and restaurants, if you like walking it was about a mile to the lake which was no problem for us. We used the free pass for the health club but its quite dated and could do with an update, jacuzzi not working, this did not spoil our weekend as the rental is great!!
Mrs Pyrah March 2019

“The cottage was in a great location within the town and close to the shops and restaurants.”

Lovely inside and had good room size for a family. Small improvements = I would have larger bathrobe towels , and the fireplace is old fashioned for the feel and luxury of the cottage.Really liked the idea of the extra parking spaces in town and the leisure facilities.The kitchen is surprisingly large for a cottage and well organised.Same as the bedrooms.The cellar games room is a good idea and a fun way for children to have some of their own time.We would certainly stay again and look at the idea of using Sykes cottages again.
Mrs Mason March 2019

Mrs Leech-boyd March 2019

Absolutely fell in love with no 16 it's had everything we needed so clean And cosy loved the little Xmas touches it all added to our stay we try an visit the lakes at least twice a year will definitely stay at this cottage again
Mrs Wilson September 2018

“Number 16 was all we expected and more, the house is spacious and extremely clean with all the amenities needed.”

The location was perfect with a very short walk to the local shops and 5mins on the bus to Bowness. The local bus service is excellent with routes going to all the other lakes and shops, which are great.
Mr Blackledge September 2018

“An excellent property in a perfect central location.”
Maak July 2018

“Very near to town”
Mr Doyle June 2018

“This holiday home is absolutely excellent and so much better than the website shows!”

Perfect location in the heart of the Windermere with all the shops and restaurants you could ask for. Fantastic takeaways locally too and home delivery from the supermarket, perfect to receive after a long drive! The home itself is really a beautiful home from home. Comfortable and clean with plenty of space and just beautifully decorated. We will be back!!
Rhona B September 2015

“Superb property and great value for money”

Loved this Cottage, (No16) When we arrived we had a complimentary gift of jams a lovely gesture we thought. It was like a tardis inside, the bathroom & shower room both had toilets which was a bonus for 6 of us staying there. had a parking permit for 1 car as only one space for a car wasn't too bad to get a space from Sunday had 5 roads to park but most where taken on the Saturday, the owner let us park at the back of the property. Mrs Davies was extremely helpful. We also had a pass to the spa hotel used the swimming pool there & you didn't need to take towels. Quite a few pubs, restaurants, shops & supermarkets close by but quite a walk to the lake parking was a nightmare by the lake. I would definitely recommend this Cottage to anyone.
Michele R April 2014

“Felt like home.”

We love this cottage. It is ideally situated to visit the Lake District area to its fullest. The convenience of being in Windermere makes it ideal for shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. This cottage is immaculate. It is like a tardis - there is so much room. The decor is modern and neutral which I like. The two bathrooms are beautiful as are the three bedrooms and the beds are sooo comfortable. It is a very quiet street - my only bugbear is that a car parked opposite our driveway on double yellow lines on numerous occasions which made it difficult to get in and out of our space without lots of effort ! We love 'The Prince of India' and 'The Little chippy'. We will definitely be back - don't hesitate in booking this cottage.

“Excellent base with comfy, well appointed rooms. Super bathrooms”

Very pleasing cottage for family holiday. Everyone enjoyed the quality of the cottage and its location. Beautiful bedrooms, lovely bathrooms. Peaceful in early morning and most of day. Garden tiny, but we enjoyed two barbeques.
A FlipKey verified reviewer August 2013

“Excellent”

Excellent location literally a stroll away from all the facilities you need but very quiet at the same time. The Cottage was decorated to a high standard and we were very pleased with kitchen bathroom facilities and bedrooms were comfortable. The only small suggestion we would make is to include a of folding chairs for use in the lounge as it was a little tight on sofa space for 6 people. We had a lovely break. thank you

“Lovely family break”

We visited No 16 with our daughter, her husband, baby and toddler who had travelled from Orkney. We had come from near Bath,so everyone was tired. We arrived to lovely welcome pack, a warm house and our host visited to make sure we had all the information we needed, which was very considerate. The house was great for our 2 year old grandson who was safe to run around downstairs. The town cente was seconds away, which was useful when we needed milk etc at the last minute but our house was nice and quiet. Even out of season there was loads to do and we would definitely stay there again.
Sarah April 2013

“Outstanding rental!”

Perfect home! Worth every penny. Centered in town. Walking distance to everything. Gym membership/pool was such a nice bonus. Beautiful, high quality rooms/bathrooms. Outstanding owner, who was lovely and responsive to questions. Couldn't recommend it enough!

“Amazing Christmas Break”

A truly memorable Christmas break in this superb cottage. Location - fantasic, walking distance to everything . The house itself is full of charm, decorated beautifully, and has everything you could possible need for a berak. We made christmas dinner here and had 6 of us round the table comfortably. We used the washing machine , DVD player, and bbq on boxing day and all to a high quality standard . Beds are soft and comfy, and a great shower! We used the facilities at the spa/gym which was included in the rental package and was a real nice touch to our wonderful stay! The swimming pool here looks on to the lakes and is def worth exploring . The owner could not have been more helpful to our requests, and was easily available at all times. I have recommended the accomodation to family and friends , and will def be back .

“Simply The Greatest Holiday Rental in the Lakes”

This house in the centre of Bowness,Windermere is amazing, superbly decorated and complete with all the utensils you would expect of a luxury holiday rental. Being in the centre parking is at a premium but we found the space at the front and then the parking permit for the surrounding streets perfect. The village is quaint and full of interesting and quality products. If you are going to the lakes look no further, book now!!!

“Excellent location”
