• "A beautiful property in a very tranquil and relaxing location."

  Very well equipped kitchen with high quality fittings, utensils and cutlery. Furnishings and all fittings tasteful and of equally high quality. We particularly enjoyed having direct access to the lake and short walks to Newby Bridge and Lakeside. Welcome hamper also very much appreciated as was all the information provided for local attractions and the history of the property. Would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

  I'm very pleased that you enjoyed you stay at Lakeside View and that you found the facilities in the house and also in it's location at Landing How, Lakeside, to be of a high standard and met your expectations. It is certainly a unique and beautiful area. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to write such a kind review Property Owner

• "We have just spent a week with amazing weather at this beautiful, spotlessly clean, well maintained, and well equiped cottage."

  Lots of thoughtful extras provided along with a very generous 'welcome pack'. The setting is very peaceful with quality outdoor furniture to the front and rear of the property. We really enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders - at one time there were 8 varieties of birds including a woodpecker! Short walk to Lakeside for the steam train and lake ferries - great for relaxing days out with fantastic scenery. We enjoyed the walk to the village of Finsthwaite and also to the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge for lunch by the river. Many thanks to the owner Janet - we hope to return in the near future.

  I think Lakeside View must attract lovely people, visitors to The Lake District who appreciate the beauty and tranquility. It is a place to relax and unwind and you mention the simple pleasure of watching the birds feeding outside the window and walks from Lakeside into the countryside and surrounding fells. I feel humbled by your wonderful review and those of others during the summer who appreciate this wonderful corner of England. Thank you very very much! Property Owner

  Very clean and comfortable house. Everything you can think of. Heating worked instantly. . No faults to be found

  Thank you very much for your kind review which I appreciate and hopefully others will note when deciding which holiday home to choose in The Lake District. It is so important as an owner for me to ensure that the property is as good as it can be in order to create a wonderful and memorable holiday and to that end I try very hard to achieve this.

• "A very pleasant stay at Lakeside."

  The owner contacted me prior to arrival and offered advice and tips, which was very much appreciated. Spacious accommodation and generous welcome hamper. Only slight negative would be it's a bit remote, but we find it quite relaxing.

  I'm really pleased that you enjoyed your short break at Landing How and that you found it to be peaceful and relaxing. Hopefully you enjoyed access to Lake Windermere from the jetty at Landing How and enjoyed the short walks in both directions to The Windermere Cruiser Terminal, the steam railway station, The Windermere Aquarium and The Swan Hotel. Both hotels have bars, restaurants and spas which are available for the public to book. Property Owner

• "We had a great stay."

  They property is lovely and surroundings very pretty. There were only 2 things that I would have liked to improve our stay. More available plug sockets in the bedroom. I had to unplug the lamp to charge my phone. It wasn't an issue but would have been easier with additional sockets. Also some tongs in the kitchen to use when turning bacon or sausages under the grill. The only other thing that would have helped would have been a bit more detail on where to go when we got there and where to park. Took us a bit of time to find the 2 separate parking spaces. That wouldn't stop us from coming back though. It was lovely and relaxing and we really did enjoy our stay.

  Oh what a shame that the 100% satisfaction record has been broken at Landing How! I had 2 signs made, in red, with number 10 written in white, situated on both parking spaces and are currently in place. I will plug in an adaptor in the socket by the bed to take 2 plugs for future guests and I will buy some tonges for the grill today and put them in situ. Really sorry Lakeside View couldn’t reach your standards. Property Owner

• "We had such a wonderful week at Lakeside View and have never stayed in such a clean, comfortable, well-equipped holiday home."

  The grounds are so beautiful and tranquil, and we didn't see another soul on our walks through the woods or trips up and down to the lake with our kayak and paddleboard. Our grandchildren loved the freedom to play on and run around the extensive gardens, play in the lake, and watch the steam train pass by the bottom of the garden. The house is in a perfect location for exploring the south Lakes, and we will certainly be returning. The owners were very prompt and pleasant with their replies to the queries we had before our trip, and this added to our perfect review of Lakeside View. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would!

  As the owner of Lakeside View and having read this incredible review I admit to feeling quite emotional and humble - thank you isn’t enough for such kind words! Sometimes its good to remember a world without complication and I hope the simple pleasures at Lakeside View, the lake, the beautiful grounds and the peaceful tranquility all help towards creating a wonderful holiday with precious time and memories to take home!

• "We had a fantastic holiday at Lakeside View!"

  The cottage was very comfortable/ well equipped and the setting was outstanding. Located in beautiful private grounds with easy access to the shores of Windermere, this really is the perfect place for a break on this stunning lake. Great communications with the owner before and during the visit and would definitely return!

  It is so very rewarding as an owner to have such wonderful feedback and for our holiday guests to take the time and trouble to write such kind and generous reviews for which I thank you very much. I think it inspires trust and confidence to future guests that their choice of Lakeside View is a good one for all the family Property Owner

• "We had a fantastic week staying at Lakeside View."

  What a beautiful setting! We used the private jetty most days to launch our kayak and SUP and paddle across to Fell Foot for an ice cream - amazing! We were very lucky with the weather and the sun was out most days. The house and surroundings were stunning and we enjoyed many local walks. Thank you for an amazing week!

  It is so exiting to hear of you enjoying the facility of the jetty from which to swim in Lake Windermere and to have brought your own kayak and blow-up paddle board which help to make your holiday so memorable - especially being able to paddle board across the Lake, just a short distance, for an ice cream. For other members of the family who didn't fancy getting wet there was the alternative method of crossing over the lake to Fell Foot Park (National Trust) by the ferry just a few minutes walk away - just in case they didn't want to miss out on the ice cream!!

• "Our stay at Lakeside View was truly outstanding from beginning to end."

  The attention to detail and the level of comfort exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the impeccable cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere of the cottage. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including a generous supply of plates and utensils. The lovely welcome pack was a delightful touch, making us feel right at home. The bathrooms were spotless and stocked with plenty of toilet rolls, ensuring we never had to worry about running out. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated, featuring very comfy beds that guaranteed a restful night's sleep. The extra duvets and cushions provided added comfort. The outside space was equally wonderful. We spent many hours in the front garden, where we could watch a variety of birds and squirrels while relaxing on the garden furniture. It was a serene and peaceful experience. The back garden, a large shared green space, was perfect for socializing with friends and provided a safe area for our young kids to play on their bikes for hours. The living room was cozy, and stocked with a great selection of board games and plenty of information about local activities and attractions. The location of Lakeside View is unbeatable. Windermere is literally on your doorstep, offering stunning views and easy access to numerous walking trails. We loved exploring the nearby paths and taking in the natural beauty of the area. In summary, Lakeside View is the perfect retreat, whether you’re looking to relax or explore. The combination of its fantastic amenities, ideal location, and exceptional comfort makes it a perfect choice. We can confidently say it’s the best cottage we’ve ever stayed in, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

  My goodness - how can I respond to such a wonderful review! I am so grateful that Lakeside View has met your expectations and can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write such a descriptive and positive review. To have enjoyed your holiday so much with your wife and children is all that I can ask for - it’s what memories with your family are made of! Janet Owner Property Owner

• "A very high quality letting, starting with the generous welcome pack and personalised note, Superbly equipped- cutlery, glasses, kitchenware, spices, etc."

  The furnishings were excellent and it was spotless. A great location, and lots of literature in the lounge to help us make the most of our short stay. We particularly enjoyed eating breakfast in the kitchen/dinner and our evening meal in the lounge/diner. It would have been a 10/10 but for ours ensuite having no door to separate the toilet from the bedroom area.

  I’m really pleased that you have enjoyed your stay because I care very much and thank you for your kind review I always aim to create a holiday experience where our guests would wish to return and in addition to first class accommodation there is so much to do at Lakeside View and in the immediate area especially with children and perhaps grandparents. I hope you went for a swim and have enjoyed this warm weather! Property Owner

• "A fantastic property in a beautiful location."

  The electric gates open to beautifully maintained gardens the drive takes you down to 2 parking spaces for the accommodation. The rear courtyard was lovely to sit in the morning. A second seating area for the afternoon sun overlooks the lawned area. The kitchen is so well equipped both with equipment and consumables. The whole property is beautifully presented. There was a good selection of games and books. There was local information of places to visit. We were staying at the property to attend a wedding at Town Head estate (which was only a five minutes drive away) so have not truly explored the area but will definitely be looking to return as the location allows access through the grounds to the lake Windermere cruise boat and the steam railway meaning no need to take the car and struggle for parking when you can hop on the boat and travel up Lake Windermere. Great communication from both Sykes cottages and the owner. I highly recommend the property.

  Wow what amazing feedback thank you! As an owner. it makes my efforts to create the best holiday experience at Lakeside View that I am able to, both rewarding and worthwhile. I really do care about creating a happy and memorable holiday for our holiday guests in the hope they will return. I aim to achieve the high standards that I would personally expect when on holiday.

• "This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location at the base of lake Windemere."

  We were in lovely grounds with fine views and plenty of paths and close to many attractions. All of the rooms and equipment were of a high standard and very comfortable. We were with three teenage grandchildren and there was plenty of space. We had a fabulous time and we would love to return.

  Sometimes I have the privilege to meet our holiday guests and it was great to meet you both and your teenage grandchildren. There is so much to do and explore at Lakeside View and I think it covers all ages. I know you had a trip on The Lakes Cruiser in mind and it is so good that the terminal is just a few minutes walk away down the pathway. Dinner out too is easy with both The Swan and Lakeside Hotel within walking distance - no need to drive - or cook! You mentioned that two of your grandchildren hadn't been to The Lakes before and I am delighted to hear that you would all love to return. We look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

• "Lovely accommodation in excellent location."

  Great facilities, comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. Easy walk to the Swan Inn or Lakeside Hotel. National Trust park over the river very nice with kayak and SUP hire. Great views from nearby Gummer’s How. Overall highly recommend Lakeside View and this part of the Lake District.

  As an owner it is so rewarding to receive such a favourable review for which I thank you, it is appreciated. It also gives reassurance to those potential holiday guests when deciding which accommodation to choose. It sounds like you made the most of the lake access and the ferry across from Lakeside to Fell Foot Park. Hopefully at Lakeside you boarded the steam train to Haverthwaite or perhaps took the cruiser down the lake to Bowness and beyond. Lakeside View really is a gateway to The Lakes and I'm so pleased that you and your guests enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful week at Lakeside View."

  There's everything here for a comfortable stay: crisp, high-quality bedding, a well appointed kitchen, a lovely art-deco vibe to the decorations. There was a thoughtful welcome package waiting on arrival, and plenty of well-organised information to help us plan our stay. We came during particularly rainy weather, and on one of the wettest days, the large box of board games came in very handy as we chose to stay in. Best of all, however, is the location: there is so much to do within walking distance. Beautiful grounds, two pubs, the steam railway, the ferry across the lake, the aquarium, a little private woodland, and lots of walking trails (child-friendly) into the country side. There is also direct access to the lake's water sports, for the summer months. The owners are warm and responsive with questions, and made us feel very welcome. We loved our time there and look forward to returning.

  Many thanks for taking the time and effort to write such a wonderful review and for choosing your holiday at Lakeside View, Lakeside. Holidays and memories are so precious and, as owner of Lakeside View, I feel that I have a responsibility to provide the best holiday experience for our holiday guests as is possible, (weather excluded!) At Lakeside View you can enter another world - just for a few days - of relaxation, peace and tranquility where you can 'charge up the batteries' in these beautiful Lake District surroundings!
