"We enjoyed our stay in the Lake District."
T'whit T'woo is a lovely bungalow with a fantastic view of Lake Windermere, which impressed us every time we drove down the hill towards our parking space! The location is perfect for visiting all of the attractions and places we wanted to experience: steam trains, cruise boats and surrounding towns and scenery all impressed us. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

"Excellent communications between the owner & us before and throughout the short stay we had."
Lovely & quiet location with a small view of Windermere. You can walk down to the Lake from the property, on a private footpath. It is ideally located for access onto the major tourist routes.
Thank you for your review and comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at T'whit T'woo."
The bungalow is well situated and has practically everything you need. We did struggle to find space in the kitchen cupboards for food though and ended up storing stuff on the worktops. The walk to the jetty and the jetty itself is lovely with amazing views of Lake Windermere. Hardly any beach area though which was disappointing as we would've liked to walk along a bit. The bedrooms both had a whiff of damp, especially the smaller room. We ensured windows were opened while we were in. It was cold while we were there so used the heating at times which soon warmed up the bungalow. Perfectly placed to reach so many places such as Bowness, Windermere Town, Ambleside etc.
Thanks for your feedback. We did have a little wheelie trolley in the kitchen that could be used for food storage but l got rid of it because l was concerned that it was a trip hazard. Yes it is a small property. I think the back of the property does need ventilation as it is a bungalow and faces the embankment. We try to leave the window open a little to let air flow. Lake access is definitely at a premium these days. l enjoy open water swimming and knowing the lake well there is no long walk possible at the waters edge. Millerground and the public jetty further down Rayrigg road offer a bit more but can be busy. Thanks again for your thoughtful review. Property Owner

"Had a lovely stay in a well appointed cottage T'whit T'woo."
Cosy with all mod cons and great water pressure (better than my own house). Chose this one down to location and having a car parking space, as well as being central for our preferred locations. Only recommendations, we would have is to have a welcome pint of milk rather than the Proseco, but other than that both my wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely, plus we had 4 full days of sunshine!
Thank you for your feedback, we now supply milk sachets for your cup of coffee or tea on arrival. Property Owner

"We have stayed at this property many times and new property owners have carried on with high standards ."
Every thing was as we expected and very clean. Weather turned out very good and did not need protective gear. A great place to celebrate my 80th birthday and hope to be back for many more.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your birthday celebrations. Property Owner

"MICE!!!"
! The owner stuck to a £300 refund which didn’t cover the 3 nights we vacated the property. Due to this we paid for a whole spent chasing mice, packing our cases and looking for alternative accommodation. Sykes referred us to the owner to resolve. The owner advised he didn’t want to be out of pocket but we were left as such having to pay more than £300 more for last minute alternative accommodation!!!!. This is aside from all of the other issues raised with Sykes no hot water to the bathroom sink, which the owner notified us about on route!!! I couldn’t use the shower due to surgery and being in a leg caste!!! building works outside to the right of the front door and an undisclosed steep incline to property, not in any of the photos, caused real difficulty for me on crutches in a caste. Yes it’s lovely, just hope you don’t have mice or any other issues!!
Thank you for your feedback. We have caught the mouse and undertaken a deep clean . The problem is now resolved. The water heater is replaced and there is hot water in the bathroom. Next door have fully completed their ground works. We were not made aware of your leg in a cast in advance of your visit however we recently had a guest to stay who suffers from multiple sclerosis and is wheel chair bound. She accessed the property using the level path in front of the row of cottages with no issues The slope can be avoided if required. Property Owner
