“Lovely cottage in a lovely setting and brilliant location.”

- Mrs Hughes, September 2019
“We could not have been more pleased when we arrived at T'Whit T'Woo.”

It was immaculate and yet delightful with a homely feel. Very welcoming with 'arrival gifts' kindly provided by the owners as well as some basics such as milk etc. We would certainly recommend this cottage to any family or friends wishing to visit this area of the Lake District. Set in a lovely, peaceful location it suited us perfectly and our only regret is that we didn't have more time there.

- Mrs Hale, September 2019
“Our holiday in Windemere”

We had a brilliant stay in the cottage at Windemere. The cottage was beautifully furnished, clean and well-appointed, and situated just a short walk from a jetty, from which we were able to launch our kayak, the owners very kindly allowed us to use their pump to inflate our kayak. One of the nice finishing touches to our cottage was the bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival! There was lots of wildlife close to the area, including voles, many varieties of birds and deer in the adjacent fields. We had a fab stay here, and would recommend this cottage for families and couples alike.

- Mr Stevenson, June 2019
“This cottage proved to be the best equipped and most comfortable that we have ever had the pleasure to have stayed in.”

It is spotlessly clean and all furnishings and fittings are of the highest standard .A complete and utter credit to the owners and Sykes and we enjoyed the holiday so much that we have booked the cottage again for next year.

- Mr Dickinson, June 2019
“The cottage was exactly as promised, it was in a lovely position, with a view of the Lake and in a very convenient spot for visiting everywhere we wanted to go to.”

The milk, wine, coffee etc was a brilliant help not having to rush out to get things for a cup of tea! We didn't use the coffee maker or dishwasher but appreciated they were there for anyone who liked using them. The cottage itself was lovely and warm, the bed the most comfortable we have ever slept in. We enjoyed lying in bed and watching the many different species of birds coming continually to the bird feeder, many of which we had never seen before. The owner Roger was extremely helpful and leant a mobility scooter to my husband so he could make the nice walk from the car park to the Lake. We enjoyed many meals out including the Albert in Bowness, the Magic Wok in Windermere, the little Chippy in Windermere and Wilfs in Staveley. Would recommend to everyone and will definitely be returning.

- Mrs Cheek, April 2019
“We had a fantastic time at T'whit T'woo, its a great base for exploring Lake Windermere and everything is within easy reach.”

The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and was warm, clean and comfortable - there's a lovely view of the lake from the table and chairs outside The owners left plenty of guide books, board games and milk in the fridge along with a bottle of prosecco and chocolates for our arrival, which was much appreciated

- Mrs Neill, April 2019
“The cottage was immaculate, cosy, very well-equipped.”

Perfect for 2 people. Great location near the lake, very quiet with nature all around. At the same time close to all the amenities of Bowness and Ambleside. Ideally placed to do a variety of brilliant hikes in very picturesque areas. Cannot recommend highly enough.

- Ms Parker, March 2019
