“I suffer with a lung disorder which means I cannot walk very far without getting out of breath, so I have to keep stopping to recover before I can carry on and walk a little further.”

...

I do not think the description described the issue with parklng in enough detail as there is no parking space allotted to the cottage. This means you have to park where you can, the parking disc covers area E there is no map to show which streets this covers. This meant some days I had to park 3 or 4 hundred yards away from the cottage and hoped I would not have a parking ticket when I returned to the car. For me this was a downside to our enjoyment of Bowness and the surrounding areas that we visited during our stay.

“We had a lovely time, thank you.”

Just one point, I think the fridge needs to be defrosted, it’s all ice at the back and wasn’t very cold at the door, just thought you would appreciate being made aware. Thanks again. Rob and family.

“Adequate: Pros: (1) Location, location, location: Bowness is delightful and the cottage situated perfectly.”

(2) Washing machine/drier: loved not taking home dirty clothes. (3) Comfy beds according to the kids - not so much with the double though. (4) Ease of parking: either free or using the supplied permit: we parked within 1 minutes walk every day. (5) Wi-Fi access, books and DVD collection. Cons: (1) The neighbours dogs waking us before 0700 on four mornings and before 0800 on the other two: I would have preferred to rely on an alarm clock. (2) Forget using the garden with unruly canines patrolling the border. (3) It was bit grubby (tile grouting in the bathroom, thick dust on radiators, cobwebs, etc) and could have done with a 'deep clean', and there was a slight smell of damp in the bathroom. (4) Needs a new shower: old and not fit for purpose.

“The only difficult we had was with parking.”

For some reason I thought there was an allocated space but I must have misread as there is not. There is a permit to park on certain streets if you can find a space. This was not too big of a problem in the end. The house itself is lovely and was perfect for our needs. We had a great holiday with the children and explored lots of fun activities in the lakes.

“Good service from Sykes.”

Cottage is fabulous. Home from home having everything you need during your stay. Close to all amenities in Bowness. I would definitely recommend.
Ms Britten April 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage.”

It was cosy and in a great location. Whilst the property wasn’t dirty I felt it could have been cleaner. The bedroom floor needed hoovering and we had to wash some items of crockery before they could be used. The walls of the property must be very thin as we could hear every word of our neighbour’s conversations!

We would like to thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback and are really pleased you enjoyed your stay! Please be assured that the above issues have been flagged up with our housekeeper and will be rectified for future bookings. Owner relations

“We had a really lovely time in a beautiful part of the country.”

The cottage was very welcoming and cosy. The lights were even on when we arrived and it was toasty warm too. A real home from home.
Mrs Dodd October 2018

“The cottage was lovely, felt homely rather than just a holiday let.”

The location was perfect and we would definitely book again.
Mr Miller September 2018

“We found the town of Bowness to be charming.”

Honeysuckle Cottage was beautifully appointed and comfortable. It exceeded our expectations for charm and convenience. Edward & Anne Miller. Columbus, Ohio, USA.

“Cosy central”

We started looking at houses in the countryside but thank heavens we decided on this one which is the middle of Bowness - everything within walking distance and a great location to visit other places either by ferry or by car. Honeysuckle Cottage is well equipped and nicely decorated giving a very homely feel, especially when the log burning stove was alight. We went in autumn so the garden didn’t get used but it would have been lovely on a summers evening. Might be a bit of a squash for six but for four it was lovely.

“Excellent location”

This is a cosy cottage perfectly situated for cafes, pubs and restaurants. Short walk down the hill to the lake, would definitely recommend hiring a boat...great fun! Really felt like a home from home.
