• "We used the bottom oven once and it did not seem to reach temperature."

  We were using it to keep food warm as opposed to cooking so it wasn’t a big deal to us but thought we should make you aware.

  Hi - thanks so much for taking the time to give Snowflake a 5* rating which means a lot to us. Thanks also for advising on oven, we’ll certainly look into it. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

• "Hi we have been using lakelovers for a few years now and have never had any ..."

  Hi we have been using lakelovers for a few years now and have never had any problems till we visited snow flake cottage the location and cleanliness of cottage was spot on however we had problems with kitchen area cold tap was broken the shelf in fridge door was broken and fridge was iced up, the freezer did not work there was 2 broken plates in cuboard and several chipped glasses and there was only 5 forks this made our holiday very inconvenient for us but it did not spoil our holiday in Windermere cheers Ian

  Thank you for your review. Whilst extremely disappointed to hear of your concerns, we are somewhat confused. We have an excellent team in place who under no circumstances would allow guests to arrive with what’s been outlined (with the exception of the shelf in the fridge, which was trickier, and has since been fixed; prior to receiving review). If you did arrive to such concerns, a quick call to Lakelovers would have resolved them. Please rest assured we always have our guests interests at the forefront in of our holiday let and have done our utmost to make the cottage as comfortable as possible, which is supported by the vast majority of our reviews.

• "Lovely cottage in a great location."

  Nice to have a private parking space to the rear. Only negative was that the main bed was very low and a struggle to get out of after hiking the fells the day before, could be my age :)

  Hi Thanks so much for taking the time to review Snowflake. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the cottage and found the parking space as handy as we do. We hope you recovered from your hike and that’s an interesting point about the bed, thanks for pointing it out. Property Owner

  The location could not be better, and Snowflake offered everything we could have wished for. A tasteful, yet very cosy place, we instantly felt at home. Loved the additional bonus of a parking space and was spoilt for choice where to eat. We will be returning - Anne & Martin

• "We had a great weekend in this wonderful cottage, that has everything you could need and more!"

  It is very cosy and warm, with an electric fire in the living room. It is situated just a minutes walk from Windermere and all of its bars, restaurants and shops. It was great having a private car parking space at the back of the property, as the roads require a parking permit and are very busy. Overall a wonderful place to stay, definitely would recommend. Can’t wait to return!

• "In addition to the feedback provided to Lakelovers on our first day, the property is in need of a maintenance and deep clean visit, also given our booking was for winter and the forecast was for freezing weather it was disappointing to find the heating set almost constantly to 8 degrees C, it was 24 hours before the property reached a comfortable temperature."

  Thank you for your review. Firstly, we are very sorry to hear you felt the property wasn’t warm enough. An easy to use heat control (Hive) is provided in the lounge so guests can tailor to their needs . Our experience has always been that the heating is controllable and the property heats in a remarkably quick time. I’m sure during your call to Lakelovers to advise a small maintenance issue, they would also have been happy to advise further . We are also sorry to hear you felt the cleaning didn’t meet your standard, which will be explored. We hope you still enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "A beautifully presented house from which to enjoy Windermere and the surrounding area."

  The house had everything we needed for a short break between Christmas and New Year. Comfy beds and great to have a private parking space with direct access to the rear of the house. Appreciated the bottle left for us on arrival and we really hope to return. Steep stairs to the 2nd floor as mentioned in the listing. We couldn’t get the bottom oven to heat up but we managed with the hob, ‘top’ oven and microwave. We also enjoyed food from magic wok and the little chippy locally. Would recommend the pottery shop cafe too - spent a happy couple of hours painting items which are to be posted home.

  Hi We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Snowflake cottage; especially during such a special time of the year. Thank you so much for taking the time to review our property. It’s also great for some of the businesses in Windermere to get a mention as I’m sure they’d appreciate your support. We’d love to welcome you back. Property Owner

  with comfy beds and chairs, and a well equipped kitchen. Perfect to have a parking space as well as a visitors car pass, in case friends/ family visit. Location-wise is unbeatable, just a few metres walk to a train, bus, bars, restaurants and shops, as well as many walks in the South Lakes. We’ll definitely be back .. thank you so much

  Thank you so much for reviewing Snowflake cottage; we are thrilled you found it provided everything you needed. We also love the location and totally agree you have so many choices on your doorstep. We’d love to welcome you back. Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

• "Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage at such short notice."

  This was due to an issue at another property we were staying at. Sykes did amazing at sorting us somewhere else so quickly. This cottage literally has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Spotless clean with lovely fluffy towels and plenty of space for everyone to relax in. The cottage is located in a prime spot so close to the local shops and restaurants in Windermere. The parking space at the back was an added bonus if you come by car. I don’t use my car here as we enjoy walking and using the local bus services, the bus stop is around the corner. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

  Great to hear we could accommodate you and you found Snowflake offered everything you needed. It is very cosy and a fantastic location. Agree the local bus service is excellent and takes away the hassle of parking in other villages. We’d love to see you return, best wishes, Sarah and Stuart. Property Owner

• "Wow what can I say, this is such a lovely cottage."

  A lot bigger on the inside from what it looks outside, we were a family of five and had plenty of room, it may be a little cramped in the lounge if there are six of you. Bedrooms lovely, only a minor point, it would be nice if both bedrooms could be king size beds as the double is small if you are over 6 foot. Location is perfect everything you need on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend.

  Thanks so much for your lovely review - great to hear you found the cottage larger than anticipated. It is a little like a tardis!Thanks for your thoughts on bed - we will certainly take that on board when we’re making changes. We hope to see you again, Sarah and Stuart. Property Owner

• "Lovely property in an ideal location close to all of Windermere's amenities."

  Very clean and tidy, and really well-presented. Only issue we had was no access to BBC channels without logging into iPlayer on the smart TV in the lounge and login required to watch Channel 4 etc. via the TV apps, but that wasn't really detrimental to the property as a whole. Parking at the rear of the property was a real plus, given that Windermere town is often very busy and parking is at a premium. Have stayed in less appealing properties in and around Bowness and Windermere, and this one really stood out for all the right reasons. Spacious and roomy, with high ceilings and big bedrooms, and no less than 3 toilets over the 3 floors. Nothing bad to say about Snowflake Cottage at all. Worth the money and a great base for a family break in the Lake District.

  Thanks very much for your lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed the cottage and found it bright and spacious. The parking space certainly proves a great advantage- especially during the holiday period when Windermere is even more popular. We’d love to welcome you back. All the best Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

• "Wonderful house, its home from home couldn’t ask for more."

  It was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s great having the parking space which is plenty big but can be tight manoeuvring into the lane between parked cars. Just a minute walk across the road to the co-op and to the Main Street lots of coffee shops and restaurants, lovely ice cream shop - no hills unlike Bowness which is a short drive, beautiful but full of tourists and bus trips of school kids. There is a little gravel area at the front of the house which was useful for my small dogs. Highly recommend and would definitely love to return.

  Hi Karen Thanks so much for your review. We are thrilled to hear the cottage offered everything you wished for. Agree that Windermere totally hits the spot offering everything on your doorstep. We’d be delighted to welcome you back. All the best Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

• "Great location however, in needs on lots of attention."

  Property had everything we needed for a short stay with friends. Decoration is in need of a lot of tidying up. The house was overall fairly clean but lots of cobwebs around light fittings. Also smelt damp on arrival. Also missed having TVs in bedrooms.

  Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you felt the cottage didn’t meet your standards. Snowflake cottage was fully redecorated less than one year ago and is regularly monitored for wear and tear. The damp smell has been explored and is no longer evident. We can only assume it was an unexplainable one-off on your arrival for which we apologise. We do hope this didn’t spoil your stay. Our best wishes Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

  The cottage was lovely and comfortable with all we needed. When we had a problem with the property Sykes were very helpful and prompt in sorting it out as were the owners. The only thing on the website that wasn't clear is the parking. There is an off road parking space at the property as well as a permit to park on the road at the front, so room for two cars.

  Hi Janine Thanks so much for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found both the cottage and location as you would have hoped.

• "Great cottage, well placed for hills, restaurants and bars, only a short distance to lake at Bowness on Windermere."

  Over the last few years we have been to many cottages and this is probably the best one we have been to, clean and well furnished. Coupe of minor areas for improvement, leaky tap in kitchen sink and small leak from sink in first bathroom bathroom. Would benefit from a gate in back garden to make it fully enclosed, otherwise perfect.

  Hi Stephen Thanks so much for taking the time to review, it’s fantastic to hear it’s one of the best cottages you have visited. Sorry to hear about the leaking taps which we will get sorted. A gate has now been fitted, sorry it wasn’t in place during your stay due to a delay with installers. The area is now secure. We hope to welcome you back at some point in the future. Property Owner

• "Not sure photographs on website do justice to this very cute holiday cottage."

  We stayed with our friends, another couple, and all agreed place great. Feel cottage would accommodate young and old along with families or couples enjoying a break away together. It’s a very traditional cottage with beautiful stonework popular in the lake district. Great on-suite bedroom on the 3rd level offering a ‘break-out’ space if you like some downtime or perfect for teenagers. Had a fabulous holiday which won’t be our last as we will return with our grandchildren.

  Everything was spot-on, comfortable beds, cosy lounge, great dining room. Windermere is a fab place and cottage a 2 minute walk into town offering lots of bars and restaurants. Bowness is a 15-minute walk away, providing even more choice. Will re-book this cottage, hopefully returning in the summer when everywhere will be even more beautiful.
