• "A lovely comfortable flat."

  The small things made a difference to the holiday i.e the heater in the bathroom, a shower caddy for storing toiletries, the welcome pack, tea, salt and vinegar etc. Thank you we had an amazing week.

  Perfect ! The kind, helpful owners had left a lovely welcome tray as well - much appreciated! If only the weather had been half as good ! However, the flat was so comfortable and pleasant, it was lovely spending time indoors! Booking it again, hoping for better weather ….

• "The only fault we found was the bedroom space only one bedside table not two and one small wardrobe, the double bed was small,this mybe because of the room size it would only take that size bed ( 4' not 4'6") otherwise very clean with clean with all you needed for cooking etc."

• "Well kept and equipped compact studio apartment that is ideally located."

  Unfortunately we hadn’t seen comments on the bed size and reluctantly left after three days due to uncomfortable small double bed that is wedged up to a wardrobe in partition area of accommodation (appears to previously started life as the garage hence compact bedroom) in addition the quilt could do with going up a size. Very disappointed with owner as sent a pleasant message explaining we’d left on the Tuesday morning and this early departure would give them extra days to service apartment in preparation of new clients rather than short turnaround on the Saturday to date no response. This issue appears to be only negative recurring comment and either replacement sofa bed in lounge area or moving partition wall forward to allow larger bed would resolve this problem. It’s sad that our polite message explaining our decision didn’t deserve any response.

  Very clean and perfectly located. A 3 minute walk into the centre with lovely shop’s,pubs and restaurants. Lovely walks from the doorstep too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Park view. Just a couple of things but they are definitely not negatives….the door opens straight onto a light coloured carpet and it was quite difficult trying to keep off the carpet while drying the dog and trying to remove muddy boots without stepping on the carpet. We were worried about getting it dirty but I think we did ok! We also couldn’t find any instructions regarding rubbish or the WiFi password but we figured it out in the end. Despite that, we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend ☺️

• "The location was a perfect base for everything we needed “Bowness” has everything you could need and more all within a few minutes walking."

  There was a thoughtful welcome pack that included wine, brownies, tea and coffee which was a pleasant surprise. The property was very clean and well equipped with everything you might need including DVD’s and for those that might prefer to cook rather than eat out the kitchen has everything. However theres so many great places we ate out, we had no reason to cook. The shower room is very cold, there is a blow heater but didnt really do much (it was winter) and the mattress was very firm for us. But the bed itself was good quality. We decided not to bring our dog which was probably for the best as the space is adequate but not really big enough for a dog. We thoroughly recommend this flat for a week at The Lakes and would book again!

  The accommodation has never been disappointing, always very clean to a high standard. It is well equipped with cooking utensils etc. Bedding, towels supplied. It is an excellent apartment for a couple, (with dog), to holiday in. It is situated in quite a central position, easy access to shops and road system. I would be hard pressed to find better.

  Location spot on, Parking available and only a few minutes walk into town. The apartment it self, living room and kitchen was well equipped and spacious. Very clean accommodation with a complimentary welcome pack on arrival. The only little thing I have to mention, is the bedroom is a tad on the compact size, only a foot each side as space then leading into a decent sized very clean bathroom. The bedroom is an open partition off from living space. The bed was way too firm for our liking, so sleep was interrupted for us. Otherwise the overall stay was good and suited us and the dog. Would we stay again, yes, but for my sleep sanity I would bring my mattress topper as I couldn’t sleep as the bed was way too hard for our liking.

• "So this is definitely not a 1 bedroom apartment!"

  It is a studio apartment with a 3 foot wide Small Double Bed! Myself and my husband have used Sykes cottages previously and never been disappointed but unfortunately on this occasion we were. First the issue with the tiny bed.im only small ( size 10) my husband is not fat and average height build etc but we Really struggled with the tiny bed which only just it in the area partitioned off which was in my mind not a bedroom as only a partition wall which didn’t actually go to the ceiling and no door so you were basically sleeping in the lounge/ kitchen! We unfortunately had to take turns sleeping on the sofa so at least one of us got some sleep and thankfully the sofa is a decent size but definitely not meant to be slept on but we had no option. When we arrived I realised this is actually a converted garage ,which is fine but the dimensions are very tight and it’s rather gloomy ( depressing but we wanted to make the most of our holiday and payed double what we have in previous cottages ( pre Covid) so couldn’t afford not to try make it work. I entered the apartment and saw they had only left us 1 hand towel n 1 bath towel each ( which only just fit round my body and looked more like a hand towel next to my husband) so decided to call the owners to request a couple of bath sheets as 7 days with those would be another Issue! That was sorted immediately by the owner thankfully. Just a couple of other small things which niggled me was they hadn’t provided any wash liquid,no tea or coffee ,only 1 half used loo roll.The other cottages we have stayed at have always left a small amount of tea n coffee and a little food welcome pack like cookies ,cheap bottle of wine n dog biscuits etc so we we shocked that the apartment was so basic. There are some small things which we think could improve your stay like this and things like the tea n coffee cups were so tiny as were the drinking glasses,they didn’t have a cheese grater but loads of pans and other cooking utensils I didn’t think were useful in a holiday apartment. This apartment was in a good location and we would return to Bowness but would definitely Not return to this Studio apartment which should only be let out to single guests in the future,ideally with a small welcome pack with the basic provisions as we payed approximately £850 to stay in a garage n sleep on a sofa!!

• "This was a nice, modern, spotlessly clean flat, in the heart of Bowness, with easy access to the town, the lake and beyond."

  There were many positives, such as the excellent kitchen facilities, modern bathroom, the good size lounge area, the garden area and the fact that the flat was very warm. I am, therefore, reluctant to mention any negatives. However, it is important to be truthful when giving feedback. The bedroom area was very small and claustrophobic, with no room for a dressing table and without an accessible electrical socket, making it very difficult for hair drying etc. On a personal note, it was a problem for me, as I have a medical condition which means I have to plug in a machine at night while I sleep. I had to run an extension lead from the living room, which could have been a trip hazard in the middle of the night. The bed was hard and uncomfortable for me, although my partner found it ok, and I do realise a soft or hard mattress is very much a personal choice. Because the flat is built in a converted garage, it was dark with not much natural light coming through, and there was a lot of traffic noise because of the proximity to the main road. As mentioned earlier, there were many very good things about the flat, and the owners left us some mince pies and chocolate biscuits, along with tea/coffee etc., which was a nice touch, and made us feel welcome. The flat is very centrally located, and the fact that it is dog friendly is a big positive too.

• "Overall Park View was great."

  It was an ideal location, decorated and finished to a high spec, had most things we needed there and deliciously warm in a cold wet November. That’s the bit to focus on. There are downsides. The design of the bed area is so wrong in many ways. It’s left the area too small and just not enough space for 2. And without extra bedding provided 1 of us couldn’t take up residence on the sofa to give more space. But what’s done is done. The owners aren’t going to move walls now. My advice to the owner would be if you could change the bed from solid divan to one with legs that would be a game changer as bags & cases could at least be stored there and not in the lounge. And more plug sockets in the bedroom area either side of the bed. More hooks would be hugely appreciated again to get things from being dumped around the lounge chairs or the floor. And a clothes airer is really needed. Every day we were coming back wet and we’re told there was a tumble dryer. But we didn’t want to put our hiking gear in there in case it damaged it. A clothes airer would have meant we could have put wet clothes in the shower to at least drip dry before moving near the fire to fully dry. Plus also we did do washing with the washer dryer and it took 3+ hours to wash & get dry and a couple of items of clothes shrunk in the process. What a terrible waste to the environment of all that electricity when clothes could have been drying in the toasty warm studio on an airer. But it was a great base and it was warm. We were lucky with some of the holiday makers above in that they were quite quiet, but others were not and we could hear everything. So when they had a cough keeping them awake all night - we got kept awake all night. So for future guests I’d suggest taking some extra bedding in case one of you needs to go on the sofa due to the space limitations of the bedding area & take some ear plugs to drown out the noise from holiday makers above. If you do that you’ll have the best stay here and I’d recommend on that basis.

The bathroom was fine with a good size shower unit with lots of hot water. The small garden was great for my small dog. The owners even left us a box of chocolates. For us this was a great flat which we would book again and the weather was great all week. 5 stars from us.

• "Location of this well equipped studio is second to none."

  5 minutes walk from the centre of Bowness and all it's amenities. We found the accommodation very comfortable, clean and a joy to return to after a day out walking, it really is an ideal base for the Lakes. Look forward to returning in the future as this was a most enjoyable break.

• "The garden is densely overshadowed by mature trees but is a valuable private enclosed space for the dog."

  Would greatly benefit from some lopping off branches.
