"Snowflake Cottage is the perfect holiday home for the Lakes Beautifully decorated and furnished."
with comfy beds and chairs, and a well equipped kitchen. Perfect to have a parking space as well as a visitors car pass, in case friends/ family visit. Location-wise is unbeatable, just a few metres walk to a train, bus, bars, restaurants and shops, as well as many walks in the South Lakes. We’ll definitely be back .. thank you so much
Thank you so much for reviewing Snowflake cottage; we are thrilled you found it provided everything you needed. We also love the location and totally agree you have so many choices on your doorstep. We’d love to welcome you back. Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

"Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage at such short notice."
This was due to an issue at another property we were staying at. Sykes did amazing at sorting us somewhere else so quickly. This cottage literally has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Spotless clean with lovely fluffy towels and plenty of space for everyone to relax in. The cottage is located in a prime spot so close to the local shops and restaurants in Windermere. The parking space at the back was an added bonus if you come by car. I don’t use my car here as we enjoy walking and using the local bus services, the bus stop is around the corner. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return in the future.
Great to hear we could accommodate you and you found Snowflake offered everything you needed. It is very cosy and a fantastic location. Agree the local bus service is excellent and takes away the hassle of parking in other villages. We’d love to see you return, best wishes, Sarah and Stuart. Property Owner

"Wow what can I say, this is such a lovely cottage."
A lot bigger on the inside from what it looks outside, we were a family of five and had plenty of room, it may be a little cramped in the lounge if there are six of you. Bedrooms lovely, only a minor point, it would be nice if both bedrooms could be king size beds as the double is small if you are over 6 foot. Location is perfect everything you need on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks so much for your lovely review - great to hear you found the cottage larger than anticipated. It is a little like a tardis!Thanks for your thoughts on bed - we will certainly take that on board when we’re making changes. We hope to see you again, Sarah and Stuart. Property Owner

"Lovely property in an ideal location close to all of Windermere's amenities."
Very clean and tidy, and really well-presented. Only issue we had was no access to BBC channels without logging into iPlayer on the smart TV in the lounge and login required to watch Channel 4 etc. via the TV apps, but that wasn't really detrimental to the property as a whole. Parking at the rear of the property was a real plus, given that Windermere town is often very busy and parking is at a premium. Have stayed in less appealing properties in and around Bowness and Windermere, and this one really stood out for all the right reasons. Spacious and roomy, with high ceilings and big bedrooms, and no less than 3 toilets over the 3 floors. Nothing bad to say about Snowflake Cottage at all. Worth the money and a great base for a family break in the Lake District.
Thanks very much for your lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed the cottage and found it bright and spacious. The parking space certainly proves a great advantage- especially during the holiday period when Windermere is even more popular. We’d love to welcome you back. All the best Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

"Had a wonderful stay at Snowflake cottage, there was everything that we needed in the cottage except an ironing board ."
Great location ,very clean ,would definitely book again
Hi Deirdre Thanks for taking time to review snowflake and we are delighted you had a wonderful stay. We will certainly look at the options of a small ironing board at the cottage, thanks for highlighting. We look forward to welcoming you back. All the best, Sarah Property Owner

"Wonderful house, its home from home couldn’t ask for more."
It was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s great having the parking space which is plenty big but can be tight manoeuvring into the lane between parked cars. Just a minute walk across the road to the co-op and to the Main Street lots of coffee shops and restaurants, lovely ice cream shop - no hills unlike Bowness which is a short drive, beautiful but full of tourists and bus trips of school kids. There is a little gravel area at the front of the house which was useful for my small dogs. Highly recommend and would definitely love to return.
Hi Karen Thanks so much for your review. We are thrilled to hear the cottage offered everything you wished for. Agree that Windermere totally hits the spot offering everything on your doorstep. We’d be delighted to welcome you back. All the best Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

"Great location however, in needs on lots of attention."
Property had everything we needed for a short stay with friends. Decoration is in need of a lot of tidying up. The house was overall fairly clean but lots of cobwebs around light fittings. Also smelt damp on arrival. Also missed having TVs in bedrooms.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you felt the cottage didn’t meet your standards. Snowflake cottage was fully redecorated less than one year ago and is regularly monitored for wear and tear. The damp smell has been explored and is no longer evident. We can only assume it was an unexplainable one-off on your arrival for which we apologise. We do hope this didn’t spoil your stay. Our best wishes Sarah and Stuart Property Owner

"Snowflake cottage is perfect for a stay in Windermere."
Such a lovely cottage! Furnished to a very nice standard so nice for relaxing. Perfect location for shops and restaurants and a great base for heading out sightseeing or walking. The car park space is a real bonus! Park up and forget about your car. Very clean and comfortable. I would visit again!!
We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage lovely. Totally agree, it’s a real bonus to have everything on the doorstep. We’d love to welcome you back. Property Owner

"Amazing cottage in a brilliant location We had a really enjoyable stay at Snowflake cottage."
We found it to be immaculate, extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished & decorated and really well equipped. It’s in an ideal location so close to the centre of Windermere, with a parking space at the back which is a huge benefit.

"Absolutely lovely place to stay."
Everything we needed, and loved the welcome pack, thank you. Never been to the Lakes before, will certainly be back and would not hesitate in recommending the cottage to my friends.

"What an amazing week staying at Snowflake Cottage."
Beautiful decor, plenty of space, perfect base for being outdoors and everything had been thought about to make the stay as close to being at home as possible (with added lakes and mountains nearby!) Added bonus of parking and being dog friendly. In fact, it was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in as a family. Thank you.
We are so delighted you enjoyed your stay at Snowflake cottage and very pleased that you found it offered everything you wished for. We’d love to welcome you back. Property Owner

"Stay was lovely."
Loud neighbours and on busy road. Could not check 8n until 4pm but 3pm stated in confirmation.
Hi Paul Thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry to hear about the noise which was most unusual. The house on one side is also a holiday let, we will mention it to the agents. Best wishes Sarah Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Snowflake cottage, so nice being close to Windermere village centre with cafes, bars and shops."
The cottage was lovely and comfortable with all we needed. When we had a problem with the property Sykes were very helpful and prompt in sorting it out as were the owners. The only thing on the website that wasn't clear is the parking. There is an off road parking space at the property as well as a permit to park on the road at the front, so room for two cars.
Hi Janine Thanks so much for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found both the cottage and location as you would have hoped. Thanks also for your feedback regarding parking, we have now updated the website to clarify the parking situation. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

"Great cottage, well placed for hills, restaurants and bars, only a short distance to lake at Bowness on Windermere."
Over the last few years we have been to many cottages and this is probably the best one we have been to, clean and well furnished. Coupe of minor areas for improvement, leaky tap in kitchen sink and small leak from sink in first bathroom bathroom. Would benefit from a gate in back garden to make it fully enclosed, otherwise perfect.
Hi Stephen Thanks so much for taking the time to review, it’s fantastic to hear it’s one of the best cottages you have visited. Sorry to hear about the leaking taps which we will get sorted. A gate has now been fitted, sorry it wasn’t in place during your stay due to a delay with installers. The area is now secure. We hope to welcome you back at some point in the future. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a great central location."
No complaints about the cottage only suggestion would be a gate in the back garden so those guests with dogs can let them out securely. Other than that fabulous great to have a parking space and will definitely return to this cottage.
Hi Sarah Thanks so much for your review, we are delighted you enjoyed the cottage and location. I’m pleased to advise a gate has now been fitted which had been our intention, however unfortunately there was a slight delay in fitting gate due to the installers. Apologies it wasn’t in place for your stay. Property Owner

"Not sure photographs on website do justice to this very cute holiday cottage."
We stayed with our friends, another couple, and all agreed place great. Feel cottage would accommodate young and old along with families or couples enjoying a break away together. It’s a very traditional cottage with beautiful stonework popular in the lake district. Great on-suite bedroom on the 3rd level offering a ‘break-out’ space if you like some downtime or perfect for teenagers. Had a fabulous holiday which won’t be our last as we will return with our grandchildren.

"What a great time we had during our first trip to the lakes."
Everything was spot-on, comfortable beds, cosy lounge, great dining room. Windermere is a fab place and cottage a 2 minute walk into town offering lots of bars and restaurants. Bowness is a 15-minute walk away, providing even more choice. Will re-book this cottage, hopefully returning in the summer when everywhere will be even more beautiful.

"Great stay, great cottage and great location."
We did lots of walks during our stay, arriving home tired at the end of the day to a very comfortable cottage with a brilliant, large bath. Loved the local bars and restaurants for a few enjoyable evenings out.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Snowflake Cottage which absolutely met our expectations."
The location couldn’t have been better, and the cottage was very cosy and tastefully decorated. Loved the décor throughout along with the prosecco awaiting our arrival. We had everything we could have asked for in a perfect spot and will definitely return
