“We were very pleased with this property and it’s location as it was situated in the middle of Windermere 50yds from the Main Street of shops and restaurants .”

The provided parking was a real plus as parking in this area is limited .The relatively level walking to local facilities was a bonus as we had an elderly relative with us.The property itself had been refurbished to a high standard and included a fully equipped kitchen and was made really homely in its decor.Defiantly will visit again

Beautiful walks. Cottage excellent. Thank you

Mrs Maclean July 2020

“No16 was ideally located on a side street in Windermere.”

The main st was at the bottom of the road, but it was very quiet. A 20 minute walk down to Bowness-on-Windermere. Parking space fits a medium family size car. The house has good facilities, though just one shower. This didn’t cause us a problem though. Washing machine & tumble drier in an outhouse, just steps from the backdoor. Beds very comfortable, tv in all bedrooms and living room. Supplied with 2 keys which is handy when you’re with teenagers. Nice welcome pack of jams & fudge on our arrival. Owner super helpful.

- Mrs Maclean, July 2020
Mr Smyth March 2020

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.

- Mr Devine, February 2020
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.

- Miss Sheldon, January 2020
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.

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.

- Mrs Labouchardiere, October 2019

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.

- Mrs Smith, August 2019

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 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.

- XP-Traveler, July 2019
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.

- Mrs Ottley, June 2019
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 Pyrah, March 2019
Mrs Balcombe February 2019

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!!

Close to everything you need for a happy holiday. The owner was very helpful and even posted an item back to us that we left behind. It was very nice of her to leave us a welcome & birthday gift. We would certainly recommend this cottage and will return.

- Mrs Chadwick, January 2017
Mrs Watson December 2016

“We have had a really lovely New Year stay at No 16.”

It's location is perfect for access to shops, bars and restaurant. The house was easy to find, we managed to park both cars outside, then never used them again! Kitchen is very well equipped (brought our own champagne glasses) and we sat around in there on New Years Eve, eating, drinking and playing board games. Lots of hot water for baths etc and towels and toiletries provided. Excellent having 2 bathrooms for getting ready. Very comfy beds and plenty of storage, extra fridge freezer in basement. Mrs Davis very helpful with recommendations and advice beforehand and during our stay when we needed to contact her. We would love to come back !! Thank you !!

- Mrs Watson, December 2016
Mr Young November 2016

Mrs Gooden August 2016

“The house was fabulous, the location was perfect and we felt it was home from home.”

The beds were so comfortable and we loved the lounge. Just a couple of things we felt could of made this house perfect, the fridge didn't have a shelf in the door so nothing could stand up, like milk, wine etc. We had to use the basement fridge and going up and down those wooden stairs was a pain. Also there was no kitchen or toilet cleaner and no soap which we thought should be there for our convenience, so we had to go out and buy it all. There is only a little courtyard which did get the sun in the morning but we have two girls that love to be outside playing so we did miss a garden. Being so close to all the amenities helped so much and if it was sunny we just went out. These are just small things and overall we loved this house and would definitely come back and would highly recommend it. Thank you to the owner who was very lovely and helpful and left a lovely welcoming food package too.

- Mrs Gooden, August 2016
Mr Dennison August 2016

“Cottage overall was very well appointed with good facilities.”

A couple of small gripes in that the WiFi was pretty non-existent and worked for perhaps 5% of the time. I realise this is not necessarily the owners fault but booking a cottage that advertises this; it was something we expected to have some use of. Parking was also very difficult and I think it should be clear that the parking in front of the property is only really suitable for a small to medium car. My car was stuck out into the road. The extra parking permit is useful but was not what I expected to have to use. Several times throughout the week neighbours parked on double yellow lines opposite and therefore blocked us in. We had to try and find out who owned the different vehicles so we could get out of the drive. It's something we could have done without although again this is not the owners fault but it was frustrating. Property location is good though and right in the heart of Windermere.

- Mr Dennison, August 2016
Mrs Ferguson July 2016

“Number 16 is a lovely cottage in a nice location.”

The owners were friendly and helpful. A marvellous holiday was had by all.

The bathrooms were of an excellent standard and the décor and cleanliness was perfect.

- Ms Wright, January 2016
Mrs Osborne December 2015

“Number 16 is absolutely beautiful and very well-kept.”

My partner and I went away as a Christmas present to each other and we had the best time. We loved the fact that so many cafes and restaurants were on our door-step. I would certainly recommend this property.

- Mrs Osborne, December 2015
Mrs Denham December 2015

“The location of the property was absolutely perfect .”

As we went at Christmas time the village of Windermere was lit up to reflect the time of year. Spending time away at Christmas is very special and we were not disappointed. The property had absolutely everything we could have needed and more. It was like being at a home away from home. There were lovely individual touches to all the rooms.

- Mrs Denham, December 2015
Mrs Lane November 2015

“The location was great.”

Very central with lots of shops nearby and good access to main roads to visit other towns in the area. This property is comfortable and homely with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. The facilities were more than adequate with attention to detail in all rooms. We will definitely think seriously about staying at Number 16 again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to others.

- Mrs Lane, November 2015
Mr Blanco Martin October 2015

“We particularly liked the excellent location of Number 16.”

The cottage was very comfortable. We really enjoyed being able to use the gym and swimming pool facilities at the McDonald hotel in Bowness.

- Mr Blanco Martin, October 2015
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.

- Rhona B, September 2015
Mrs Garlick August 2015

“The house was lovely, and in an excellent location within walking distance to a nice range of restaurants, coffee bars and shops.”

RayL1892 May 2015

“A week in the Lake District”

Ideal location just 1/2 mile from lake and 1 mile from Windermere. The only minor irritant with the property was the number of signs posted all over the property about what we could (mainly couldn't do). We are adults and don't need reminding of what our responsibilities of renting a property entails.

- RayL1892, May 2015
Mrs Mansell March 2015

“The house felt homely and was perfectly located.”

It was clean, the guest hamper was a lovely touch and all in all, we had a smashing week. Thanks!

- Mrs Mansell, March 2015
Mr Goodyer October 2014

“The location of the cottage is excellent being so close to the village.”

The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything you need and having a dryer was very useful with the wet weather that we experienced. This was our second visit to Number 16 and would certainly recommend this holiday to anyone.

- Mr Goodyer, October 2014
Mrs Lee June 2014

“The house was wonderful.”

Girls loved games room. The whole house was excellent; location, well looked after and good space. The free use of the spa facilities was excellent and was a lovely bonus. Also, the owner was very friendly and was happy to call if needed in an emergency.

- Mrs Lee, June 2014
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 soooooo 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”

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.

“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!!!

“Modern and great location”

We arrived and found a welcome pack in the kitchen with tea, jam etc in the same very nice! We loved the decor and the modern feel and the location was excellent, right in the centre and near all shopd and restaurants, take aways etc, beds very comfy although could do with buying some pillow protectors! In the advert for the place it says parking for 2 cars on the front - you wouldnt in any way fit 2 we lukily only took 1 car and had trouble getting out sometimes because of the chef from over the road parking straight opposite making it very difficult to manouver. Not so sure I would go again just yet as I will wait until my youngest daughter whom has just gone into a bed is bigger as no stair gate on top landing which would scare me! All in all though I would go again probably in a few years lovely!

“highly recommend this lovely cottage in quiet close in centre of”

This certainly is a luxurious cottage and it's in a great location for the centre of town, with coffee shops and restaurants a stones throw away. The owner was very helpful too. The only draw back is that the lounge and 'the garden' are extremely small.

“The situation was good.”

We were left a bottle of wine and chocolates, friendly touches around the house, cannot fault it at all.

“A comfortable and relaxed venue”

Four long term friends who gather together annually from all parts of the country, chose this venue from the brochure and were not disappointed. We enjoyed a comfortable and relaxed venue, clean and well appointed though we did wonder how we might have managed if the full compliment of six were present. Our sole concern was the lack of contact with agent or owner when a power failure meant we then had to use our initiative, which worked for us, but could equally not have done so. The central position meant we could walk out to eat and park,driving to other locations around the area during the day to see the sights we wanted to access, particularly the splended art and crafts houses within easy reach.

“A fabulous holiday home in the centre of the Lake District with so much to do close by.”

The spa tickets were a great addition to the package. We didn't want to come home!

“Wonderful house in a great location”

Such a lovely house, great decor, lovely comfortable beds and furnishings, with everything you need. Location was excellent, so central yet very quiet.

Mrs Clements October 2010

“The location was excellent and the owner had very kindly left us some chocolates and a bottle of champagne as it was my 30th birthday which was really thoughtful.”

The bathrooms in the property were great and it was good to have the parking permit for an extra car which we did use. Ability to use the spa was also a real positive. There were lots of thoughtful touches such as toiletries in the bathrooms, DVD's that you could watch, and milk in the fridge when we arrived which were excellent.

“The overall decor and finish to the house was excellent.”

“Well located near amenities of Windermere yet in a pleasant and quiet side street.”

Old Lakeland stone cottage but refurbished to a good standard in a modern but appropriate style. Leisure club membership at the Old England hotel is big plus for the rainy days or at the end of a day walking.
