• "No positive response from owners regarding broken bed frames in two bedrooms."

  They promised a maintenance visit on the afternoon we arrived, and on further occasions, but despite claiming a visit was made, nothing was repaired and I doubt a visit even took place. Other issues included shabby throws on the two sofas, and the front entrance path and rear patio were filthy. Much better places to stay in the Lakes. Sykes tried to help, but the owners did not appear to have any interest in putting things right.

  One bed was reported as having a slat problem. The bed in question was examined at 13.30hrs on 14th August, when the property was unoccupied. The trundle design of the bed ensures, compact slats and no safety issue was reported. There are alternative throws for the sofas in the blanket box, for guests. We are always interested the comfort of guests and important matters are attended to promptly. Property Owner

• "In general the cottage was very nice but cleanliness could be improved but the one thing I would suggest is to improve the broadband as the only was way to watch tv was to steam on the smart tv but it played for a few secs then would stop and this went on constantly."

  For my mum to watch a 45 min show took 1h 50 mins

• "Excellent cottage, very well placed for Windermere cafes particularly Cafe Italia and The Mission Cafe (Queen's Park)."

  Bus stop at the end of the road which meant we could travel to major places by public transport - no need for a car. All places we visited were dog friendly and there are two parks very close to the cottage for walks. The cottage provided a dog bowl and blankets. Only thing to improve - better lighting suitable for reading in living and bedrooms. Thanks for a great stay.

• "We booked the cottage based on the description and photos."

  It’s a nice cottage with decent layout etc. We were disappointed to find some ares in need of a decent clean; the fridge wasn’t over clean, the same could be said for the cutlery drawers. Also, the window sill in the lounge was a bit dusty. The thing we found most disappointing was the covers on the settees; we can only think they had been put there in case dogs decided to jump up (ours don’t). The covers had obviously been used by dogs in the past as they were quite grubby and we had to remove them before sitting on the settees (which were quite uncomfortable anyway). Notwithstanding the above, we had an enjoyable stay in a lovely part of the country.

  Thank you for taking the trouble to bring this to my attention. I am sure you are aware that you can report serious matters to the office, and they will be attended to during your stay. I have informed the caretaker who will look into the matter. I am glad you enjoyed your holiday in the South Lakes. Property Owner

• "Our family of 4 and the dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ingle Burrow."

  Lovely decorated with beautiful features, we felt at home. We had all we needed and the cottage was very clean. It was so handy for the buses and lovely walks on the doorstep. Just around the corner to the shops and restaurants of Windermere. With Bowness also within easy reach on foot where we enjoyed a couple of lovely pub meals. The parking at the back of the cottage was ideal. We really didn't want to leave!! Would recommend and hope to return someday.

  Thank you for your feedback. We're really pleased you had a good stay and felt at home. Welcome back. Best wishes Ingle Burrow Team Property Owner

• "The perfect stay for our family of 4 and 1 dog."

  A cosy but larger than expected cottage.A beautifully decorated home with well stocked cupboards, comfy beds and fantastic bathrooms.A central location near shops and restaurants but a quiet retreat after a busy day. We enjoyed a circular ramble around nearby Grassmere with various lengths of walks. Go prepared with food and drinks. Plenty of restaurants and pubs to choose from and all meals were generous. The lake boat trip a must with several to choose from. This was a very relaxing break and we would love to return one day. Thank you

  So glad you had a lovely lakes break and the rabbits made you welcome in Ingle Burrow Property Owner

  The location was excellent with the park across the road The lounge was really comfy and cosy but a better tv and more channels would be good The cleanliness was disappointing to say the least we spent our 1st hour on arrival cleaning the fridge the microwave the bath in the loft room and dusting the tv and the speaker in the dinning room The gardens need real attention there full of weeds and not nice for sitting in the slate crazy paving needs re-laying in places as it is dangerous it moves when walked on causing a trip hazard The beds were really comfy in the double and single rooms but the king size bed not so Overall we still really enjoyed our stay in the lakes this is our 14th year and we hope for many more to come

  Very central location, very friendly locals, all you need at the end of the road. Having a car space was a bonus. My daughter stayed at the cottage some days to study for her A levels she felt comfortable there the large dining table became her desk. Beds are comfy and modern shower rooms meant we could all get ready at the same time.

  We had a very enjoyable stay at Ingle Burrow, everything we could possibly need was there (maybe a couple of logs for the fire would have been nice), the house is full of character and plenty of space, we loved all the Rabbits… Ingel Burrow is in a brilliant position for the shops and buses and the main town…we may well be back again and hopefully next time it won’t rain so much

• "We would consider renting this property again."

  It was more spacious than others we have rented in Windermere, having the separate dining room, The super king size bed in the upper bedroom was great to have, although the towels could do with replacing. There were ample glasses, dishes, utensils etc in the kitchen. The sofas in the lounge could be more comfortable. Location great for close access to restaurants, shops and the park across the road for the dog.

  Everything you could need plus more. Luckily we had daughter with us who could explain intracies of smart tv. Only one minor niggle. - could you please provide outdoor broom or shovel for clearing fallings from apple tree as wasps found them very tasty.

  I'm glad you enjoyed Ingle Burrow. That's kind of you to offer to clear the apples, the birds peck them and they fall prematurely. Property Owner

  . Wifi signal is good, hot water is always available, kitchen equipments are pretty much sufficient, bed is cosy, spacious parking Only 2 minor points in terms of area for improvement :) Better clarification regarding check out - we don't know how to deal with the bed linens. Second point is that one of the windows on the top floor can't be shut.

  The location for the property couldn’t be better. Quite a couple of dog hairs in the dining room but to be expected with a dog friendly property. Messaged the owner about bulbs needing replaced half way through stay and she sent somebody out the next day. Thank you so much! Note to owner: one of the knobs on the oven has a sharp bit of metal coming away which I cut myself on twice so might need fixing.

• "We all enjoyed our week in Ingle Brook Cottage."

  The cottage is located a few minutes walk from the town centre with its wide selection of unique independent shops and restaurants. To explore the surrounding area was easy with many walks from the doorstep and journeys by car and bus on the main routes. It is a well-equipped cottage with many little extras that are not often available in other cottages, especially in the kitchen with a wide selection of utensils and crockery. Parking on the property is available for 2 cars. Easier to reverse onto drive by driving up the back lane from the shops end. Dogs were also made welcome with blankets and dishes available.

• "The house is perfectly located for Windermere."

  It’s large whilst being very cosy and had everything we needed for our family stay. For the price i would like to see better entertainment facilities. All of the dvds were scratched and unwatchable so when travelling with kids and stuck in on an evening it would have been nice to have something to watch. Also would have been nice for some fuel (wood / coal) for the fire.

  Thank you for your feedback and enjoyed the location and your stay..I am currently in the cottage and have tried 50% of the childrens DVDs including Peter Rabbit filmed in Windermere and all the ones I tried worked very well and did not appear to be scratched. Moreover there is an extensive toy cupboard for all ages.You are more than welcome to take your own DVDs and this is explained in the Preparing for your holiday which was sent to you. Property Owner

• "A great cottage,all the facilities required in the cottage were there at at hand."

  Within easy reach of major high street shops and numerous places to eat. There were also enough pubs to visit, some of which are pet friendly. The cottage is one and a half miles from lake Windermere where there are some good shops and cafes. A few hundred yards up the road is a fantastic park for exercising your dogs and other dog owners are very friendly. The only downside was one of the sofas was a bit uncomfortable maybe due to me being a short person. I would recommend this cottage as a place to hire.

• "The house is perfectly situated within strolling distance of Windermere’s amenities, with a park for the dogs directly opposite."

  The instruction booklet was written in such a way that it made you feel comfortable from the off, especially with your Fur babies, rather than a list of rules and do’s and dont’s. Parking at the back is a big tight, especially if you have 2 larger cars and you have to be quick to secure a free space on the road out the front. If we were to re visit the lakes, we would definitely consider Ingle Burrow again.
