dish washer, washing machine, baby high chair and even a coffee machine (which we didn't use as we brought our own but we could save space next time)), all the rooms were big and inviting. It was lovely to have a snug as well as the living room as it meant we could watch videos while the others were watching their TV programs. Bedrooms were very cosy and comfortable and bathroom spacious, linen and towels were of high quality and the downstairs toilet was handy aswel. The log fire was lovely so make sure you take logs with you or buy from the local co-op (the logs in the cottage are for display purposes but you could tell that some people had already taken a couple which is naughty) The location was perfect, close enough to walk into Bowness within 5 minutes with everything on your doorstep and fantastic walks behind the property with a beautiful view over Windermere. The property is extremely dog friendly and the rear entrance made it easy to take dogs for a walk especially with wet weather and muddy boots (there is also an external hose at the back of the property so you can rinse your welly boots). We had a lovely stay and would definitely consider Brinkburn in future. Thank you for making it such a special holiday!

“Excellent”

Everything you need in a holiday rental Location is excellent for local adventures or to own up The Gateway of The stunning Lakes Cleanliness is of a high standard. No smell of pets even though this is a pet friendly rental. Can’t fault this property Tips:/ Purchase your logs for the burner prior to arrival, The house can be chilly when you arrive but once the burner is on and the heating has had time to be on it’s very cosy The house logs are for decorative purposes only

“Lovely cottage , very roomy and clean, short walk from town , will be back xx”

- Mr Delaney, November 2019
“Sadly the property had not been cleaned upstairs after speaking to Jackie at Sykes a cleaner was round within the hour and was all sorted followed up with a further call to make sure I was satisfied.”

The following morning I received a call from Sykes making sure me and my guests had everything we needed. I thought Sykes were very sufficient in dealing with the matter and a courtesy call made us cared for.

“Hidden gem in Bowness”

Fantastic modern property with plenty of space to relax with friends and family. Perfect location for links to Bowness/Windermere/Ambleside and minutes away from being in the countryside! We were very impressed with amenities available at the cottage. The Wood burner, huge kitchen and dining area, two downstairs rooms to relax and large bedrooms were some of the highlights. Everything we needed was provided and the decoration/feel of the property far exceeded our expectations. For a large, modern property in a perfect location i wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brinkburn!
