“It would have helped if we had instructions on how to work kitchen appliances.”

The only instructions we had was for the hob.

“The bathroom is in need of refurbishment toilet hinges rusty.”

“List on the itenary that it has Irwin and Ironing board”

“Very nice stay at Steps Cottage and would definitely stay there again.”

Cleanliness could be improved particularly under furniture and was surprised at rather odd parking arrangements, car parking for Steps is against adjacent cottage and parking for adjacent cottage is next to Steps, rather odd. Apart from this everything else very satisfactory.

“We were impressed that a representative telephoned the morning after we arrived to check everything was okay.”

I mentioned that everything was great but I was very hot in bed as there was a heavy quilt on the bed and the weather was getting warmer. A representative went out that day and bought a lower tog quilt, which was delivered to the cottage, fantastic service. Very well organised information and arrangements prior to and during the holiday. As mentioned on previous reviews the bed is very comfy. The cottage is perfectly positioned for easy access to the lake and Windermere village, with a bus stop virtually outside to access most of the surrounding area and only a relatively short walk to the train/bus station for most places further afield. Driving and parking in the area is not fun and access by bus and train is perfect. Even the weather was amazing. If we get a chance to come back we would not hesitate to use Sykes or Steps Cottage. The only slight problem is the steps to the garden which are very narrow and awkward. Thank you for a great stay.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at Steps Cottage and hope to return in the future.”

“Me and my boyfriend loved the stay at Steps cottage.”

The property is based in a fantastic location for reaching both Bowness and Windermere on foot. It has one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in and the little stream outside the bedroom window is a lovely sound to wake up to in the mornings! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in and the property has a nice outside area and adequate parking. My only slight niggle and it might just be a personal one is the strange staircase down to what seems to be a 2nd bedroom which is locked shut. The staircase made me a little uneasy, perhaps it should be blocked off completely or the room available as part of the stay.

“Really enjoyed my two week stay with Sykes the cottage I stayed in was only a few minutes walk from both bowness and Windermere which is ideal.”

The cottage was clean and well presented the bed was one of the comfiest I've slept in and things like the washer dryer made life so easy while I was there would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in the lakes as you get extremely good value for money will be using these guys again

“This cottage was spotless, and comfortable with a really comfy bed.”

the only minor issue is the position of the cottage meant with the curtains open you are overlooked by other properties. you are a ten minute walk from the lake. excellent base for travelling around the local villages and lakes, with magnificent walks and views. we will definately be going back to lake windermere, and would stay here again.
