"Thank you for a great stay at Parnam."
The apartment was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was well situated in a quiet location, within short walking distance to the centre of Bowness and about 20 mins to Windermere which made it ideal for reaching the ferry, pubs and amenities. A great base to explore the southern lakes.
Thanks Primrose . I’m very glad and grateful for the positive observations.

"This should be the standard for Sykes Cottages."
Perfect in every way. Best by a distance we have rented. Sadly we will not return to the Lakes. Been coming for thirty years,now time to move on.
Little points other visitors made. Curtains are fine in the bedroom. No welcome pack. Also key safe is a little bit fiddly. W D 40?
Thanks again.

"No welcome pack as previously mentioned on reviews."
Out of date coffee by 2 years. Key pad not numbered which makes it awkward to find the right one as there is 3 key pads to choose from.
As the owner of Parnam I’m grateful for the feedback .I am able to identify the key pad and will do that on my next visit .The Welcome Pack again needs to be brought to Sykes’ attention which I will do ,again .

"Parnam is a lovely apartment in a great location, close to the heart of Bowness."
It has a very nice modern kitchen and bathroom. The off street parking is also a bonus in such a busy town. There are a couple of small issues which could be addresed. Firstly, the curtains in the bedroom and living room need sorted, as they don't meet properly. Secondly a previous review mentioned there was no welcome pack, and this was supposed to have been sorted: well, all we got was a couple of tea bags and a coffee sachet that was two years out of date. Neither of these things affected our enjoyment of our holiday, and we would definitely return to Parnam in the future.
I’m really grateful to see and be able to act on your feedback.
As you’ve noticed the first two stages of refurbishment have been the brand new bathroom,followed by a virtual completely new range of kitchen appliances.
Soft furnishings are planned for the Autumn and Winter God willing.
I am grateful you’ve brought it to our attention.
I’m in contact with the management company again regarding the Welcome Pack.

"Very good accommodation in a fantastic position and added bonus of a parking space, in a quiet development near to bus stops, boats and walks."
Could be absolutely fantastic with a few little adjustments:
1. First Sykes in ages where there has been no welcome pack of any sort, not even a small milk for a cup of tea after the journey.
2. Basic provisions, we were left with half an inch of washing up liquid, watered down hand wash, no extra bin bags, no bottle opener.
3. We like to give the place a good clean so it's as we found it when leaving but no dusters or surface polish found.
Having said that we would be more than happy to stay again, hopefully the advice will be taken as constructive feedback! Thank you.
Thank you for bringing all your observations to our attention.
Immediate update .
Sykes responded by apologising for the misunderstanding that had occurred between the team looking after the apartment and the office staff , regarding the Welcome Pack .I am assured this has been corrected and a tea /coffee /milk will be available on arrival.

"This is the second Christmas we've spent at Parnam, and our feedback is the same on the fridge."
....there's a full sized freezer so why have a fridge also with an icebox??!! We really struggled on fridge space even on shopping for just 3 or 4 days worth of food. Also, it was iced up quite heavily at back so partially froze several items. Cleanliness wise - couldn't fault. Newly fitted bathroom is great. A foot stool to go with chair would be lovely (*we seem to recall there was one last year??) as I suffer from arthritis in my ankles - would have been nice to put feet up, literally, after walking!
We will be choosing a different property in the area next year, simply because we want something ground level - those stairs are a killer when loading and unloading!
Overall, a good property, good pricing, great location for walking into Bowness - we enjoyed our stay.
Grateful for the positive feedback on the bathroom improvements.It’s the beginning of the refurbishment.I’m sorry about the footstool.I forgot to return it to the rooms once the carpets had been cleaned.
As you might guess the white goods and appliances in the kitchen are being upgraded this year(you are right about the fridge,but that’s how the specifications were at the time it was installed).
Rightly or wrongly we tackled the bathroom first as it was tired.Grateful thanks for the custom.Good luck and best wishes.
As of March 2023 new white goods now in situ ; fridge , oven ,microwave , hob and washing machine.

"Excellent property in great location and exactly as described in the listing."
Very clean and well equipped.
We did have one small issue with the toilet flush handle. I called into the office in Windermere and the very pleasant staff said that this would be sorted. They offered to get it repaired straight away, and I said that they could do it at there connivence as it was not affecting our stay. I am sure this will be now rectified before next tenants arrive.
All in all a great week in the lakes and we look forward to returning again and would not hesitate booking this accommodation again.
.Thanks for being patient and I am pleased the office staff , as ever , you found to be helpful.It’s one of the main reasons we chose Sykes.Their customer service is second to none.

Relatively minor issues which could be improved are that the bed quilt is heavy and hot, and nobody in the block could work out how to turn on the stairwell lights so a torch was needed after dark.
As the feedback is important , we’ve now got a suitable 4.5 tog summer duvet.The lighting is also an issue which is being remedied.I apologise for the lack of light and grateful you found the torch.
