  The location of house is perfect everything on your doorstep! The house layout is great, the shower was invigorating after long days walking. The house has every comfort you need and more! We had the best week of weather and I can say hand on heart that this was one of the Best holiday experiences we have had!

• "We recently spent a week at the property and loved it."

  We found the description was accurate and enjoyed the fact that it was in the town. Had everything we expected and our daughter enjoyed playing with some of the games that were available. The beds were very comfortable, although we did find the duvets much too heavy for summer! We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. As for a few points and suggestions, We found the front door slightly tricky to unlock. Also, because of the age of the property and the uneven floors, an extra door stop would be handy, particularly for the dining room door. There was no hand soap in the kitchen or bathroom so although we came prepared for most things, we did have to buy hand wash for both sinks. The parking at the front of the house was a little frustrating due to being used by a lot of blue badge holders who sometimes blocked access to the small parking space. Overall though, a wonderful cottage and great location.

• "A beautiful property, clean and cozy, and right on the doorstep to Windermere town centre."

  A comfortable, bright and well decorated space with extremely good beds/mattresses, great wifi and smart tv. An excellent, convenient spot for those who rise very early and come home to relax after a long day out exploring the Lakes. We found no issues with the house, apart from not being able to fill the bath with hot water as it ran tepid throughout. All other taps and shower were perfect. Bear in mind that 'practical' provisions are very, very sparse - we had to purchase our own kitchen foil, I don't think there was a radio or a hairdryer. The attic bedroom is lovely, although bear in mind there are two solid low set beams running just above the beds. If you are looking for a quiet cottage I would give this some thought as delivery vans, taxi's and visitors fill up the road only a few feet from the door through much of the week, and our stay was only in the low season. This can create a lot of noise and impact throughout the morning and afternoon. We booked it because we thought there would be a back bedroom, but it is on the side facing a very busy square and resident's car park with a lot of revving under the window as cars try to exit a narrow space. If you love the sound of hustle and bustle and don't mind some road noise this is a very lovely house which is very peaceful in the evening and through the night!

  Thank you for your feedback. I have had a look at the property listing and found that the descriptions are accurate. We always recommend that guests enquire to the suitability of the property prior to booking. We are glad that you enjoyed the property, it's amenities and proximity to the town centre.

• "The postmasters house was perfect accommodation."

  The layout of the house was excellent and the furnishings were all heavy oak (which made our stay so much more comfortable as we weren't worried about our toddler pulling furniture on himself while he cruised about). The beds were so comfortable and my wee girl just loved the attic bedroom, she is still talking about it! We had car trouble during our stay and Sykes cottages were extremely accommodating arranging an extra night's stay. It's just a lovely house in an ideal location. It might be my favourite holiday accommodation ever.

• "Overall a really nice comfortable property, very close to the centre without being noisy."

  Parking for a mid sized SUV was difficult in the space at the property and we were nearly blocked in once, and it would have been good to know where Zone A was. Just a few niggling things - there was a strong smell of damp downstairs so we had to keep the windows open, there were very few consumables - no additional bin bags, no soaps, three dishwasher tablets with no rinse aid and sadly no welcome hamper which we have had in other Sykes properties.

  Thank you for your feedback. We take all comments on board. As the property is self catering, a welcome pack is not always provided. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "We loved our stay at The Postmasters House."

  It was exactly as described and was a home from home. So quiet even though it was a just a min walk from Windermere Main Street. Our two little ones loved their stay too! We will definitely be back.

  The kitchen trash had not been emptied on arrival which was noted but not a big deal. Wonderful and quiet location. We appreciated the parking very much.

• "What an amazing gem The Postmasters house has been for our first family break for a couple of years."

  It’s in such a perfect location - being able to step out of the front door into the hustle and bustle of Windermere or take a drive to drink in all the breathtaking views to be had! We will definitely be returning - hopefully when the weather decides to be kinder x

  Lovely house pity it hadn’t been cleaned before we arrived shower head black with mold plus all the floors full of bust plus bin collection didn’t turn up

  We can confirm that the property was cleaned prior to your arrival, had you been disatisfied with the standards of cleanliness we would have been more than happy to rectify this for you had it been raised upon your arrival. Bins are collected on a Thursday. Property Owner
