• "Wheatlands cottage was superb."

  Lovely little bungalow 2 minutes from Windermere but I a quiet location with parking. The hosts were lovely and the bed so comfortable. We would definitely recommend and hope to return.

• "This would have been a straight 5* review."

  The location with private parking is excellent and the property is nicely laid out and equipped internally, with a log burner, ensuite to the bedroom and a separate bathroom with bath/shower and wc. However, we were somewhat disappointed by the quality of the bedding/pillows, the very soft mattress, the ensuite wc which had a flushing fault and the sticking wardrobe door. Overall cleanliness was to a good standard but the area around the log burner was quite dusty. These are all relatively minor and easily remedied issues but were enough to shave a star off the score.

  Tucked quietly away from the main road we had a wonderful stay. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and cosy. We hope to come again soon. Thank you to Annie for all her help and the delicious cake.

  Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you had a good week. Thank you too for leaving the cottage so beautifully, I so appreciate it! Property Owner

• "Lovely place and location."

  Would suggest swapping the curtains as we found the bedroom very bright at 6:00am but sitting room much darker.

• "We stayed at Wheatlands over Christmas."

  The cottage was tastefully decorated with some thoughtful touches - a card, crackers, sweets and Anne’s delicious lemon cake. The weather was wet and windy, but we were warm and cosy by the log fire. We walked straight from the cottage, through woodland down to the lake, up to Biskey Howe viewpoint and on to sections of the scenic Dales Way. A short drive away, the arts and crafts house, Blackwell, is a real gem. We had cosy meals in, as the cottage is very well equipped and Booths supermarket is just up the road. Thank you, Anne and David. Wheatlands Cottage has been perfect for our Christmas break.

  It is in a quiet location just off the centre of Windermere but not too far away from the centre where you can enjoy the shops and eateries of Windermere.

  Anne and David take pride in keeping the cottage at its best all year round. The cottage was lovely and clean, Nice and warm, Lovely soft towels and the bath is a bonus. Oh yes...Don't forget the homemade cake, We'd book again just for the cake! It is in a perfect location, About a 2 minute walk away from cafes, shops, bus stops etc and has its own private parking which is a big plus. Thanks so much again Anne and David.

• "This is a lovely comfortable cottage to spend your weeks holiday in."

  It is a real home from home. It has everything you need to make your stay relaxing. You are close to Windermere and all its amenities, and it’s just a short walk down to Bowness. We will definitely be booking a further stay.

• "This is our first stay at Wheatlands although we have stayed a number of times at the owner’s other cottage."

  Both cottages are spotlessly clean and fully equipped for a self catering stay. The mattress is of high quality and very comfortable. Wheatlands is very conveniently located close to the centre of Windermere village. There is no need to use the car as the buses are frequent and stop nearby. The cottage is situated in a quiet lane and it is easy to walk to the lake if you are energetic. There is a sunny patio and last but by no means least the owner provides a delicious homemade cake to welcome you.

  It is always a pleasure to welcome you back. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Wheatlands Cottage. Kind regards. Property Owner

• "A lovely cottage and so peaceful yet only a short walk away from town."

  Everything was so clean and the lemon cake very welcome to have with a cuppa after a day out. The owners have put a lot of thought into what people might want / need which was much appreciated. Coming out of the driveway is a bit of a challenge due to the narrow road / gateposts - certainly takes more than a three point turn. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage and hope to return in the future.

• "We have had a wonderful stay!"

  We were really pleased about the location of Wheatlands cottage. In the beautiful village Windermere, near by shops, restaurants and public transport, but with enough privacy and quietness. And at walk distance from the Lake and beautiful view points. We came from the Netherlands by train and travelled through the Lake District by bus. The bus stop near the cottage was perfect, with multiple busses stopping every hour! The cottage itself was really clean and all the facilities needed were there. The only thing we missed was an European power plug. Thanks a lot for the stay!

• "Lovely clean cottage with everything we needed."

  Excellent location being just a short walk from Windermere village so easy for eating out in the evening. Private parking which is a must and a good base from which to explore all over the Lake District. Perfect for the two of us, thank you!

• "We found the rooms very dark."

  We felt the outdoor patio was not attractive and light restricted by overhanging trees and the shed. The photo showing it in full sunshine is misleading as we sat out in the evening a couple of times but the patio claustrophobic with no attractive view. The location of the cottage is excellent being a hundred yards or so from the town centre and close to bus stops which we used a lot.

• "A lovely well equipped cottage with everything in it that one could need."

  We just found it rather dark inside,and having to use the lights on returning ,even on a sunny day. The website picture in my opinion have the i.impression of a sunny quite spacious secluded sitting area,but in reality was a small damp dark area because of the fo!iage with no shed shown taking up space. It would have been nice to relax outside in the evening sunshine. The furniture and fittings were tip top and could not be faulted. Well done,we rea!ly enjoyed the stay.btinternet Colin neve.

• "Wheatlands Cottage was very clean and everything that you could possibly need was provided."

  The cottage is very spacious and in a quiet location but minutes from Windermere village and a good location in general. Having private parking is also good as not all properties are able provide this and you can travel by car knowing you can park on your return. A nice cake was provided on our arrival and would certainly look to return next year.

• "Check In and Check Out time seem a bit unfair as you lose almost 2 days of your holiday."

  Would hesitate to book somewhere again where check in is at 4pm and check out at 9.30am, especially as we were travelling by train so had no where to store our luggage and had to catch an earlier train home instead.

  I'm sorry you felt the check in/out times were not long enough. If visitors mobile number is available to owners we always text when the cottage has been cleaned usually by 1 pm (depending how it is previously left). With extensive Covid cleaning by the owners without time pressures to clean more than one cottage it can take up to 4 hours to clean and prepare your cottage which I think gives our guests peace of mind. We did in fact extend the check out & suggested left luggage at the station nearby. Thanks for the good feedback in the visitors book. Property Owner

• "The communications were excellent since booking."

  The property is of excellent standard and lived upto the advertisement. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything at the property. I would rebook this property again and would highly recommend Sykes cottages. This cottage is a stone throw from Windemere centre and we were happy with the walk into Bowness however the bus runs back and forth all day so it is not an issue for less mobile. I was quite please to have my own bathroom in the cottage and let the other half use the en-suite; this is def a plus! Also the bike storage was ideal as is the parking. Perfect cottage for our break!
