• "Very clean, comfy bed - annoying plastic under sheet,handy for Pier,shops,buses,and brilliant Hole int wall pub round the corner."

  Enjoyed week stay very much.

  Hello , Many thanks for highlighting the Mattress cover which was annoying you. Pleased this didn't spoil your stay. After your visit we have replaced all mattress covers. This old Sail Makers' cottage is tucked away behind the Windermere Boat Club yet all cafes / shops and other amenities are a short 5 minuet walk away. The Famous & very popular Hole 'int Wall pub is just around the corner with its cosy roaring fire and good food. ( Charles Dickens drank here ) Bowness is great for just wandering around , chilling and visiting Lake Windermere which is also a short walk from the cottage. Come back soon. Property Owner

A note about how to switch on the shower on the bathroom wall is needed plus slip mat for bath. Several channels on tv not available,bathroom door lock not working,dirty pan found in cupboard,gas stove ..when you try to switch on gas ignition keeps bleeping,small 2nd bedroom hiding mould in corner ,key box is in poor position difficult to access and inconvient when coming back in evening.

• "The property was as described."

  Very small compact but comfortable stay. Beds were good. The cottage had everything required although we did leave a comment that a slip mat would be helpful in the bath and that their description to collect the key was confusing. It mentioned going down an alley but maybe should have just said the key could be located at the rear of the property. Great location for us with all we needed and a lovely stay.

• "We had a fabulous stay here."

  We loved the location the most. It was so peaceful in the cottage, and yet a 2 min walk takes you into the heart of bowness. There were some lovely shops and restaurants in bowness and some great walks locally. We enjoyed walking up to Orrest Head and we had fun using the ferries to get around too. We did find the fridge inconvenient to use - its tucked away behind the kitchen table and chairs and the door hinges from the left making it difficult to access. We managed though and it meant we just ate out more!

• "A great location but front bedroom a little stuffy in the heat and very thick duvet which didn't help."

  A fan and thinner duvet in summer would be good and the mattress protector was very noisy as it is plastic and the constant rusting noise every time you turned over in bed was not great for a light sleeper like myself. These were the only complaints I had, otherwise the cottage was very clean and all the instructions were easy to follow, we had a lovely time in the Lake District.

• "Element in the grill needs replacing or fixing as it hangs down in the oven."

  Is it necessary to have the mattress protectors on the beds as these are really crinkles, uncomfortable and noisy. Otherwise a lovely little property in a really good location.

  Thank you for your feedback. The points raised are really helpful and we are now looking at the points raised since your visit. This is a very popular cottage and its history as an Old Sail Makers Cottage is ideally situated in the old part of Bowness near Windermere Lake. Leave your car and enjoy the various Cafes, Restaurants, Boating trips and Countryside walks. Property Owner

• "If you arrive in the winter , a torch will be needed for the key safe."

  Instructions for getting to the house are not explained very well . A couple of throws would be handy . Needs updating . Blind on bathroom door has a gap on the middle..bedroom curtains don't fit the windows properly, as there s a gap at the sides , letting in light in the summer nights. It's a very small open plan cottage.

  Thank you for your comments. This is very a popular cottage and is ideally centralised near Windermere Lake for relaxing and walking around Bowness on Windermere . For most guests the access instructions to the cottage are not an issue. Fortunately Sykes were on hand by telephone to assist you. This is an old Sail Makers cottage and although small It has its internal charm and it is regularly maintained. The decor in any establishment is a personal issue The interlined padded window curtains are 'Dress Curtains' and are not designed to close. They are a hanging decorative feature to compliment the accompanying wooden blinds featured on all the windows. The blind on the bathroom door aides privacy. The blind was damaged by previous guests & has since been replaced . All throws & scatter cushions in the bedrooms have been removed for hygiene purposes and as a result of the recent COVID pandemic.

• "I really like this lovely cottage."

  It works very well for my father and me. The listing said we needed to bring bin bags, toilet paper and paper towels and the unit had an adequate supply of these items. Parking, while not onsite is convenient. The unit had some wear and tear for example bent and broken pieces on the bathroom window covering. This was not an issue for me and I found the place small, comfortable, sufficiently stocked and extremely quiet. Our rest was very good and the location is exceptional. This is our third stay and we will likely book again in the future.

  Thank you for your kind responses.The broken blind on the Bathroom door that you noted , was damaged by the previous guest. This blind was replaced once we had been notified by housekeeping, after your stay.We do look forward to having you stay again. Alexandra Property Owner

• "Great location, very cosy cottage!"

  Quite dark in front room due to lack of natural light and shower pretty weak. Otherwise the stay was perfect!

  Many thanks for your response. This is an old Sail Makers Cottage - built in approximately 1889 and is situated centrally in Bowness, near to Lake Windermere. Properties like this were originally built for families to live and work in, and were well built made from the local Lakeland slate. The shower provides good hot water, but is affected sometimes by the water pressure which is regulated by the Water Company supplying all the properties in the locality. The cosiness of the cottage is regularly mentioned by guests, who love the quietness of the location too. The Location of the cottage is good, as it is very central to all the town attractions and all within walking distance. Delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Location, location, location!"

  This little cottage couldn’t be in a better location - 2 min walk to anywhere in Bowness on Windemere. However still nice and quiet at night - tucked away. Had everything we needed for a weeks visit to the Lakes. Only negative feedback is that the cottage could do with an uplift - ie removal of woodchip and paint. The single beds also need new mattresses - as very sunken. Otherwise great cottage!

• "Great location, very clean, very quiet, comfortable beds, would have been a bit more special if the fire was working but we understand from the message we got from yourselves and the central heating got the place warm quickly."

  The blind on the bathroom door could do with replacing as some of the slats are missing but otherwise could not fault this cottage. Would highly recommend and would very much stay again. Plus the parking permit was a bonus. Thanks for a lovely weekend break.

• "Lovely little place to stay."

  Cosy, with all the main resources supplied. Beds very comfortable and we slept like logs. Excellent quiet location, surrounded by lots of pubs, cafes and restaurants. All within under a minute walk. Three to five min walk to the main pier We agree with all the other positive reviews to date. Only one very slight downside is that the cottage had a faint smell of a smoker been in residence. Easily solved with a good airing, but it wasn’t the first impression we expected.

• "Instructions provided were easy to follow and generally the holiday booking process was made to be easy."

  Rearranging the holiday was simple, however I was not aware of the admin fee until right at the end when I phoned back to confirm I'd like to change the booking. This could have caused me some complications in this particular scenario if Sykes had not waived the fee. I also do not know what this is for.
