“We loved staying in the house - it really was like a home from home.”

It was so well equipped and the location was perfect. Having a private parking space was fantastic, as well as a permit to park on the road, as the road got full at the weekends. The beds were so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

“We had an utterly delightful time staying at Charnwood.”

Situated a very short walk from the office of Sykes Cottages. They phoned us up on day 2 to check everything was in order which was a nice touch. Some hadays suggested the car parking space at the rear was problematic with narrow space and being blocked in. We have a very large vehicle, had no issues at all. Nice accommodation spread over three floors. Well appointed and clean. Thank you :)

“A pleasant little cottage ideally situated in the town with decent parking both front and rear”
Mr Owen May 2019

“Perfect location and superb weather all week.”

The cottage is ideally situated in the centre of Windermere, but a quiet location, with ample parking and an excellent location for exploring the countryside around. A great holiday.
Mr Benson November 2018

“The house was perfect, location great.”
Mr Ware October 2018

“It would be difficult to exceed the very high expectations that Sykes set.”

The house was very comfortable and conveniently situated with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants nearby and more options within moderate walking distance. It was well located for exploring Windermere and its surroundings, whether on foot or by car. I would like to add that the staff of the subsidiary company, Lake Cottage Holidays were excellent - very friendly, helpful and solicitous to ensure we had the best holiday. Thank you.

“Everything looked exactly like it did in the photos!”

The cottage was clean, neat and tidy and there was all the kitchen equipment you would use at home. Towels weren't listed as being there but they were included along with tea towels, oven gloves and wash up sponges. We had a great holiday food shopping was easy; a couple of minutes around the corner a coop, a sainsbury slightly further; with a Brookes near the railway station; bus station and Lakeland shop. We walked from the cottage to Bowness where the piers are for the lake. Got the bus to Ambleside from the station (open top so great views) and came back by boat (red cruise one way), we got the bus back up from Bowness to Windermere. It was all included in our Bus and Boat Central Lakes ticket (£12.50 for an adult). What a great day out! Wish I'd got up earlier so I could do the full open top bus ride!! If you like houses and gardens Levens Hall was great the topiary was amazing.
