"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

"Cosy and homely property, very comfy and it was well equipped."
We would be happy to book this cottage again given it's great location.

"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 ..."
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

"Lovely cottage."
Central location close to restaurants, shops etc.
-
"Had a lovely stay our party was smaller than expected due to sickness - The house more than accommodated 3 of us and 1 dog."
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.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate you leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. Property Owner

"Ingleburrow was perfect for our family group."
Welcoming, clean and cosy. Plenty of space for shared meals. Settees really comfy and appreciated after a day out. Ingle Burrow so well placed we didn’t use our cars at all, relying instead on excellent bus service from Windermere. Thank you.
Really pleased you enjoyed your stay in Ingle Burrow. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay."
Great location. Good to have off street parking.
-
"The cottage was a very good size."
The advert really sold on the fact that there were real fires so a bit of wood left would have been good or info on using. Location good, cleanliness was good.
-
"Ingle Burrow is superbly presented and in an ideal location."
It is evident that the owner takes pride in the property and provides first class accommodation.
Thank you Neil. We're glad you enjoyed our cottage. There's always a project or two planned. Property Owner

"We had a very enjoyable stay at Ingle Burrow, everything we could possibly need ..."
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.
-
"Fantastic cottage in centre of village."
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

"We had a lovely stay at Ingle Burrow ."
A great place to relax and unwind at the end of a days walking or boating. The facilities were good and the accommodation was roomies than we expected.Having a tumble dryer was a great bonus after wet weather.There was a real home from home feel and we loved spotting the numerous rabbits hidden around the place.We would defenitely go back.
The rabbits enjoyed your company, we're pleased you enjoyed the cottage. Property Owner

"Very nice property, great having your own parking and the house felt large and comfy and well equipped."
There is space across the road for dog walking, and shops for all you need just three minutes walk.
We're pleased you enjoyed your time at Ingle Burrow. Property Owner

"Everything is really perfect."
. 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.
-
"Swap the king-sized bed from upstairs into the first bedroom?"
Lovely place to stay.
-
"A lovely, comfortable place to stay and close to shops and restaurants"
-
"Had a wonderful stay at ingle burrow."
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.

"Lovely cottage that we will definitely rebook - perfect for families with dogs"
-
"Really lovely cottage ."
Gorgeous lounge area and fire . Perfect for the weekend we were staying with Storm Arwen ! Had to go and get logs which was fine but would ha r been nice to have some provided for the first evening . Well stocked kitchen which was fab . Gorgeous bedrooms and ensuite facilities . My only bit of feedback would be the dining area could be a tad less clinical but that is just my opinion and did not take anythibv away from what a lovely cottage it was . Loved all the felt and homemade crafts - Thanks so much to the owners . Also I have left a grey white stuff sweatshirt , had this been found at all please ? Thanks Nicky

"The cleaning in some areas of the cottage wasn't up to the standard that I would expect however this didn't spoil our holiday and we would deffinately stay there again."
I would suggest providing more than one towel per person or advising that you may wish to bring your own towels. Ingle burrow cottage is a beautiful cottage and we had an amazing family,dog friendly holiday in the lakes, we will deffinately stay again in the future. Thankyou

"Had a lovely week at Ingle Burrow and would return in the future."
-
"Lovely cottage for a family, right in the heart of Windermere with easy access to everything and just a minutes walk to the bus stop that takes you all over the lakes."
Lovely comfortable cottage, pet friendly and child friendly too.
-
"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

Lovely cottage, Opposite a park in the centre of Windermere Choice of supermarkets in walking distance Restaurants also in walking distance Secure yard at the back although small dogs could possibly squeeze under the back gates Cottage very comfortable We have stayed here several times over the years Would highly recommend

"Just got back from such a lovely week away at the lakes,The cottage was everything we wanted it was lovely and clean with all mod cons,and just felt so warm and cosy, and no need looking for parking outside every time, as you just drive around the back of the cottage and pull onto the drive with gates."
-
"The cottage was the perfect location had everything we needed."
Just 1 thing that would make it perfect is a new mattress in the room with the iron bed, it dipped in the middle and just made the bed really uncomfortable.
-
"The house is beautiful in a great location and we will be re booking next year, they could have done with a feedback book as the kettle was broken (the switch on button wouldn’t stay on) and the Hoover was inadequate especially in a property that takes dogs the hoover bag was old and I wanted to hoover all through the house before we left but couldn’t."
-
"Fell in love with this house."
coal fire did spoil us on the cold days.very central. found lots of walks nearby for the dogs.very relaxing time.we will be back
-
"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.
-
"A lovely spacious town house 2minutes walk from centre of Windermere."
Very welcoming and lots of bunnies! Everything you need and more.Would definitely recommend and looking forward to returning another day. Loved it.
-
"Ingle Burrow cottage is perfect as a base for visiting the South Lakes."
The cottage has all the facilities you need, its extremely comfortable and is spotless clean - all the bedrooms being en-suite is a bonus. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will hopefully return in the future.
-
"It was a fabulous property had everything you could wish for."
The only thing that could be improved is a new mattress on the double bed on the first floor it was very lumpy and hard I had to put 2 duvets on top of it so that I could sleep.
Thank you for your feedback, the owner has responded by replacing the mattress with a Which recommended Eve Mattress. Property Owner

"Cottage appalling lighting ie bedside lamps and lamps in sitting room as dogs ..."
Cottage appalling lighting ie bedside lamps and lamps in sitting room as dogs are allowed to stay place felt grubby and far too much whimsy every where,obviously agency cleaned difficult parking at rear not up to the standard of other cottages I have rented from sykes
Thank you for the review. We are monitoring the cleaner for this property and also carrying out pre-arrival checks to ensure good cleanliness levels are maintained. Property Owner

"My only little niggle as a clean freak would be to pay attention to minor things such as when I was laid in the bath I could see the shower screen was a little grim and one of the mattress was stained which we noticed as we like to strip the beds and clean as we are leaving out that is something maybe not everyone would notice but I’m particular about cleaning."
-
"We had an electric outage at 10pm on the Saturday night and it was sorted within 15 minutes by on-call staff"
-
"Fabulous home from home with every thing you could want to make your stay as comfortable as possible."
Position A ,2 minutes from Windermere Centre. Would definitely recommended this lovely place and would love to stay again .
-
"A lovely property facilitates within the property first class from accommodation to salt and pepper ."
Location great. We travelled by train , bus stops,shops all within a short walk. Local taxis first class as was all eateries,local tour companies . A most enjoyable break with stunning scenery.
-
"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.

Ingle Burrow is a delightful picture-postcard cottage just a short stroll from the centre of Windermere at the heart of the Lake District. Tastefully decorated in a blend of the contemporary and the traditional, this charming terraced cottage is dog friendly and is the perfect base for a family holiday in the Lake District whatever the time of year. This Victorian cottage is built from the local stone and has accommodation across three floors.
Everything is finished to the highest standard creating a warm and cosy feel to this traditional home-from-home cottage.
The living room is bright and welcoming with squashy sofas around the open fire.
There's also a dining area with a wood burning stove, ideal for those chilly evenings when you're not eating outside, and a fully equipped dining kitchen.
There are two first-floor bedrooms, both with an en-suite shower room, one master double bedroom with an elegant metal bedstead, TV and a also a single bedroom.
On the second floor there's a zip and link super king size bed which can be converted to twin beds if required, with a pine washstand and some delightful views out across the open countryside.
Finally, there's the period-style family bathroom with a shower over the bathtub, pedestal sink and WC. The secure paved garden is a glorious sun trap, making it the ideal place for outdoor dining or simply to relax after a busy day sightseeing or walking in the Lakes - your dogs will love it too!
With all the amenities of Windermere on the doorstep, you can leave your cars in the two off road parking spaces provided. Ingle Burrow is in one of the most privileged locations in the Lake District, just a few minutes from the lively and vibrant villages of Windermere and Bowness on the shores of Lake Windermere.
From quirky independent shops to traditional inns and pubs, the cobbled streets play host to everything from tapas bars to local craft ales and Cartmel lamb at the Mason's Arms.
Children (and adults too!) will love Beatrix Potter World or exploring the islands of Swallows and Amazons country on a steamer cruise.
The Lakes Aquarium features sharks and reptiles, and the Lakeland Motor Museum has a superb collection of vintage and classic cars.
Don't miss a trip on the picturesque Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway or the mock-Gothic splendour of Wray Castle. There are good transport links from Windermere to the North Lakes, or take a drive over the magnificent Kirkstone pass to Derwentwater, Keswick, Grasmere and Ullswater for an exploration of Wordsworth country.
Everywhere you go there are world-class walks and cycling routes with outstanding views, and beautiful Morecambe Bay is within easy reach for a picnic on the beach. With its first-class accommodation, Ingle Burrow is an ideal base for a relaxing family or friends holiday any time of year, whether you want to cruise the Lakes on a glorious summer's day or enjoy Christmas in Lakeland.
