• "Our 2nd stay at Highmoor Cottage this year."

  Our favourite place to stay. Very cozy and clean and feels so private as elevated from road. Great that Bowness short walk away. The host has always been lovely.

  Location fantastic and meant we could walk into the main lakeside etc. Place itself had everything we needed and more than what some cottages gave us just little things but made a difference. Would stay again

• "Comfortable little 2-bedroom cottage in close proximity to Bowness pier and easy walk to shopping."

  Bedrooms were of a good size but not overly spacious. The second shower room was really small and not easy to use. The outdoor entertaining area was great for sitting out on a sunny day and enjoying an al fresco meal and a glass of wine. Great car parking space.

• "We absolutely loved staying at High Moor cottage."

  It was clean, comfortable and at a very great location. Whithin walking distance to pubs, restaurants, the lake & shops but still far out enough so it stays quiet. Loads of great dvds, books and board games to enjoy. We will definitely be back.

• "A lovely clean spacious cottage which is elevated from the road so feels very quiet and private."

  We had no issues with the shower room which some reviewers say is small. Loved being able to easily walk into Bowness. My young daughter accidentally broke an ornamental dish at the cottage - the host was very understanding. We'll be back.

• "This was our second year at the cottage."

  We were delighted that the cooker had been replaced, however there were a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed. 1. Ceiling above the bath needs attention were there was some water damage. 2. Overall decoration needs upgrading. 3. Living room carpets could do with cleaning or replacing. But none of this stopped us from having a wonderful time together on the Lakes.

  Hi Janet, Thank you so much for your valued feedback. Please accept my apologies for the maintenance issues you noted. Just to say the cottage was decorated throughout in January during the winter break. The bathroom damage unfortunately is a water ingress issue that we believe is from the chimney. We have struggled due to the weather to get it fixed, but have it booked in with a roofer for next month (weather permitting) for re leading and a new chimney cement top, so are hoping this will fix it. We have replaced the wood shed and damaged fence panel , and have a new bike storage shed , and new garden furniture on order , as it has been a hard year with so much rain and everything has weathered considerably this year. I'm really glad you still had a lovely time though and hope to see you again :) Property Owner

  The amenities in the cottage were great, having a washing machine and dishwasher was a huge bonus for a family of 4. The beds were extra comfy with luxurious bedding and we all enjoyed the selection of boxed games. We’ll definitely return for another holiday.

• "We stayed at Highmoor Cottage for a week and had a fantastic time."

  A perfect place to stay as a base for touring the lakes. It is a lovely traditional style cottage, with all the amenities you could need for a holiday. Very comfortable beds, large bath and 2 showers with great pressure. It is located a short walk from Bowness and the lake. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and access was easy from the key safe. Parking was ample right outside up a gravel driveway. We would not hesitate to stay again.

• "The cottage is in a lovely position and close to town of Bowness."

  The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. However there were a few items missing which would have improved our stay, eg only 1 oven glove, no bath mat or slip mat in shower room, only 1 loo roll, shortage of cutlery for 4 people, kitchen cooker very old and kitchen layout difficult for 2 people, only 2 outside cushions for bench, no folding garden chairs, greenery & foliage outside kitchen overgrown & inhibiting views. The DVD didn’t work, we phoned the owner who promised a new one the following day, which didn’t arrive. The wiring and plug system for TV/sockets etc is very inadequate and outdated. The information file needs updating re TV and recycling info. Considering the cost of this cottage, which is not cheap, I feel we did not get value for money on the above points. Ros Beckett

• "The cottage was lovely and clean and it is in a very convenient position."

  We had problems with the central heating, it kept turning off and we kept having to click the up arrow to get it to click on again. I think it would be a good idea to tackle some of the weeds growing around the house to make a more attractive area outside and along the drive. We missed the turning into the drive on our arrival as we were looking out for a blue craft shop sign which was mentioned as being opposite. It might be better to omit that instruction!

  Thank you so much for your feedback its very much appreciated. My appologies re the heating, this is on an app and it has'nt indiacted to us it had a problem but I will look into it immediately. Re the difficultlty finding us, these are the directions I personally send out to my guests prior to their stay with no mention of a blue sign: NB. When you are driving to the cottage; Travelling from Bowness-on-Windermere on the A592. Drive through Bowness passing the passenger ferry pier area, keeping the lake on your right. Continue on the main road around the bend and past the Burnside Hotel, then the Lingwood Lodge Hotel. At the top of the small hill your sat nav may direct you to turn left into Ferney Green Road, please ignore this instruction and continue on the main road (A592) for another few yards down the hill. If you look up, you will see High Moor Cottage immediately in front of you on the left in an elevated position above a grey slate wall. Access is directly from the main road (A592) via its own drive. There are red and black refuse bins at the bottom of the drive. If you pass Glebe Road on your right you have just missed us. Please call me on ...............if you have any problems finding the cottage or at any point during your stay if you have a problem. There used to be a blue sign for a craft shop but was removed years ago and replaced with a High Moor sign so I am presuming Sykes may still refer to it so I will get their information updated. My appologies about the weeds this is being addressed but due to ill heath my gardeners visit has been problermatic but should have been done sooner. Thank you. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed the cottage over the Christmas week, staying there with our son."

  The cottage is very conveniently located for easy walking into town for a meal or down to the lakeside for a stroll. The bedrooms were smaller than we had imagined them to be from the photos, but the beds were comfortable. Very thoughtful touches by the owner made this stay special such as a lovely bottle of wine a mince pies as a welcome pack. Everything you needed for the kitchen in the way of utensils, drying up and washing up clothes, lovely folded towels on the beds, logs left to light the log burner, rubbish sacks already placed in the bin. It was lovely to unpack on a cold winter night after a long drive and just settle in with all the essentials ready provided. The owner, Vicki, was very attentive and took the trouble to ensure we were arrived safely and had everything we needed. Very thoughtful. Would highly recommend this cottage as great base for a stay in the Lake District.

• "We expected a Sykes cottage to be clean and well-maintained and were not disappointed."

  The booking process and all subsequent communication was quick and easy (refreshing in this day and age). The cottage perfectly matched its description. It was cosy and extremely well equipped. It's location couldn't have been much better - it was a lovely 5 minute walk into town. It was adjacent to a busy road but up a steep drive, which led to experiencing no noise (unless the windows were left open at the front) and excellent views across to the fells - you could only see the road if you looked down out of certain windows so very much felt that you were in a rural location. We knew from the cost that it wasn't going to be "high end", which was reflected in things that didn't matter to us - a few imperfections with flooring, beading and the odd piece of furniture. Thank you to Sykes and the owners. We had a fabulous time.

  Road noise was not very intrusive, only heard a little from outside the cottage, two outdoor seating areas to take advantage of the sun, we were very fortunate to have lovely warm sunny weather. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Another plus is the short walk to the lake in Bowness & also frequency of the open topped buses, did not use our car all week.

  At the perimeter of the village which meant that we had peace and quiet but five minute walk to the heart of all the hustle and bustle. It also meant the car was on a driveway and we didn't have to go looking for a car space whenever we came back from sightseeing. The cottage itself was furbished for a home and not just as a holiday rental. Everything you needed was there and much more. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone else.
