"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. Property Owner

"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. David and Audrey
So grateful you’ve expressed that you like Parnam.It really helps to know where we are at any given time.Your observations feel ,of course , positive.I am also grateful for them , as it helps us to know what needs attention. Best Wishes and Thanks Jane and Victor Property Owner

"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Out of date coffee by 2 years.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 . Property Owner

"Great location."

I spotted your booking earlier on today for 2024 …Grateful thanks for the lovely feedback on the recent visit and for the affirmation of your intentions for next year .It’s heartening to know you enjoyed the apartment and its facilities… Property Owner

"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this was supposed to have been sorted: well, all we got was a couple of tea bags and a coffee sachet that was two years out of date.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.

"Apartment in great condition with modern well equipped kitchen, bathroom and comfortable lounge."
It’s location is within 10 mins walking to the centre passing numerous pubs, bars, restaurants and takeouts not forgetting the waters front. It’s ideally situated for exploring the greater areas. Private parking off the street. Really enjoyed our stay at Parnham and would stay there again.
Grateful for the positive feedback on the apartment .The team who look after the apartment are very conscientious.I’ll pass your observations on . Once again thanks for your feedback and for staying at Parnam Property Owner

"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. Property Owner

"Great place to stay in the Lake's, very comfortable, we've already booked Parnam for next year, Thank you."
Really appreciate this feedback..much heartened by it .I don’t think it’s the fact so much that you’re coming again (although I am grateful) , but the fact that your enthusiasm shines through .Best wishes Property Owner

"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. As for the toilet handle , I am sorry . There’s a complete renovation of the bathroom happening at the beginning of October and hopefully you’ll be able to see the improvements. Thank you for the kind feedback,I am grateful. Property Owner

"Lovely well equipped apartment perfectly located for amenities of both Windermere and Bowness and easy access to surrounding countryside."
Would definitely recommend a stay.
Thank you for the kind feedback. Property Owner
-
"Really nice apartment, in a good position, near lake and shops."
Bus stop at the end of the road. The only fault that we found was not enough cutlery and crockery to enable us to use the dishwasher. Really good to have parking in the Lake District.
-
"A really nice apartment which has everything one might want and is well equipped, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated."
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. Property Owner

"Excellent accommodation."
Great Location. Would definitely return
Grateful thanks for the feedback Property Owner

"A spotlessly clean and modern apartment, comfortable bed and furishings, very well-equipped kitchen and the jacuzzi was very relaxing."
Little touches like a small torch by the bed good supply of crockery and utensils all added to our stay. Small niggles. As an elderly dinosaur I couldn't get much out of the smart TV, and the stairwell lights never worked. That apart, we really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend.
Grateful thanks for this feedback Property Owner

"The location of the property can't be better for anyone who wants to explore and enjoy a holiday of Lake District."
It's easy to go by foot, car or bus. The facilities are very family-friendly to make us feel at home. The bed was comfortable and all devices are very easy to use. It's between two lovely villages: Windermere and Bowness, hence shopping/eating in a restaurant are both convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Parnam!
Thank you the kind and complementary feedback Property Owner
-
"This has now become one of our best holidays ever!"
The location is completely ideal with so much to explore by foot!!! We climbed the Brant Fell on our door step, walked to Hilltop, Hawkshead and Wray Castle, and climbed Orrest Head to follow the steps of A.W. All of these were with stunning, scenic nature around us. The facilities in the flat are convenient, comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed out time and felt at home. THANK YOU!

"Our second stay at this apartment."

"It was so good to come back home and stay."
Its close to our family home in Sunnybank Road. We came to celebrate my Father's 89th Birthday having not been home in the past two years we were so excited driving up. The lakes will always be my favorite place. The lakes and mountains call for me :) Thank you so much for producing such a beautiful, clean, and comfy place for us to stay and enjoy seeing our family. We will definitely be back soon!

"Comfortable, pleasant flat."
Useful to be close to town, shops, cinema etc as weather was wet almost all week. Had to buy some mugs, only 3 small mugs provided, otherwise equipment OK. No basic supplies - have welcome packs been banned. Will need to pack salt, pepper and vinegar plus washing up liquid etc next time I go away.
We would like to thank you very much for your feedback and bringing these matters to our attention. Property Owner
