“This was a very well equipped and comfortable cottage.”

Unfortunately not all the guests could attend due to a bereavement and Covid so three of us were lucky to enjoy the facilities instead of seven. It is close to Bowness but a shame it’s not really possible to walk there as there is no walkway/footpath, you really have to drive in. It’s a great base for exploring the southern end of the lakes. Only thing to say is the directions for getting to the cottage could have been more precise, doesn’t say which junction of the M6 and which A road to ...

“The property was perfect.”

The living space allowed us to be all together as a family and the view into the garden made us feel like we were in the lakes every moment of our trip! We loved it!

Kathleen May 2022

“Beautiful clean modern cottage which was ideal for a large family party.”

The setting amongst the trees was very relaxing and the hot tub was a great hit with all the family. Would definitely recommend.

Andrea March 2022

“We had an amazing family break at Cherry cottage!”

Everyone had their own space but we were all together under one roof. Beautiful views and wildlife. Ducks to feed in the morning which my granddaughter loved! The hot tub was a welcome treat after my husband had run in the Coniston 14 road race. I can’t speak highly enough of the location and facilities of the cottage - brilliant!

“Amazing stay, beautiful property.”

Would love to come back!

Chris February 2022

“This is our 4th time at The Oaks, we missed 2 years due to covid.”

It was amazing to be back. The cottages are in a beautiful location and so relaxing. We had a fantastic time as always. Can't wait to go back again next year.

- Chris, February 2022
Paula January 2022

“We stayed with a group of friends and our first impressions were wow.”

The cottage was beautifully decorated, the beds were super comfy and although it was January the cottage was lovely and warm. This was particularly important when we had been out for the day. The bathrooms were all modern and the kitchen was kitted out to such a high standard, it had everything you could ever need and enough pots and pans for our party of 10. The hot tub made the week for us, just to be able to have a nice soak at the end of the day. The cottage is in beautiful countryside but only 20 minute walk from the centre of Bowness or a £5 taxi ride. The Sykes staff were amazing, so helpful and it was nice to know that they were on site if needed. Would definitely go back.

- Paula, January 2022
Suzanne January 2022

“Absolutely loved the facilities, the cleanliness and location of the cottage, couldn’t of asked for anything more!”

The only factor that impacted our experience was leaving day when you have to be out the cottage at 10 am prior to departure We knew we had to strip the beds etc but to then find we had to sort through the bed linen and towels splitting it all into bags of bed sheets, pillow cases, duvet cover, bath towels, leisure towels is an excessive ask it we had to get up at 0730 to make sure we had our breakfast washed and cleaned all the dishes and put them back in the cupboards as per the request and cleaned through and sorted the linen. Not what you want to be doing on the last day!

Janet October 2021

“Everything was excellent and to a high standard and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cherry Cottage, despite the wet weather (even the property owners couldn't do anything about that !”

!) but we made the most of every minute. The hot tub was a real treat. The property owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and we would have no hesitation returning again.

- Janet, October 2021
Tiffany October 2021

“Had a brilliant time celebrating my husband’s 50th with 6 friends, cottage was gorgeous and had all the facilities we needed for cosy nights in cooking, playing board games or spending time in the hot tub chilling.”

5 minutes taxi ride to Bowness cost £5 between 8 of us so we could all enjoy a few drinks - highly recommend.

- Tiffany, October 2021
Jayne September 2021

“Spacious, comfortable house for our 3 generation family holiday.”

Lovely outdoor area with space for the little ones to let of steam and a great hot tub to relax in. Quiet spot but only 5 mins drive into Bowness.

- Jayne, September 2021
Lilibeth September 2021

“We love the cottage it’s perfect for our family, It is spacious, clean and you’ve got everything you need.”

Eunice September 2021

“We had waited 2 years for this holiday to come to fruition and it was well worth waiting for.”

Accommodation was spotless, beautiful location, magnificent views. Staff excelled themselves in friendleyness and helpfulness, above and beyond expectations. We enjoyed it so much we've booked again for next year.

- Eunice, September 2021
Howard August 2021

“Great location as the cottage is literally 5 mins drive from Bowness but nicely tucked away off the beaten track.”

Facilities in the cottage were all good, the cottage is large enough so that the ten people staying are not under each others feet. I would really recommend this cottage and even though there are other cottages around they don't interfere with each other.

- Howard, August 2021
Julie July 2021

“The cottage was in a good location and there was plenty of room for our family of 8.”

The people who looked after the property were very helpful and friendly. Was easy to walk into Bowness from the cottage, the location was perfect, quiet and peaceful.

- Julie, July 2021
Jessica June 2021

“Better than any of us imagined - won’t hesitate to re book and recommend to everyone we know!”

Martin June 2021

“LOCATION We stayed in the “Cherry” cottage – one of half a dozen self-contained cottages at the end of a private drive on the hill above Bowness (at The Glebe end).”

While it’s not an un-walkable distance from Bowness, the walking route isn’t very safe as there is no pavement and the route can be quite busy. But there’s plenty of parking in Bowness – just remember to budget for parking fees! Most of the car parks accept payment via the PayByPhone app – so no cash needed. OUTDOORS Each cottage has an outdoor seating area with plenty of chairs, a 6 person (at a squeeze) hot tub, and a BBQ platform (for disposable and camping BBQs). The outdoor space is screened from the neighbours so it is nice and private. Cherry backs on the woods so you won’t get much afternoon or evening sun, but you’ll enjoy the birdsong. The grounds are immaculate and everything is well maintained. We had two dedicated parking spots 50 yds from the front door, and parked two more cards in the large overflow car park just 150 yds away. There is an office on-site if you have any problems (or forget your key card). Cherry also has a nice large outdoor space adjacent to the property in which we played football and boules. BEDROOMS Four bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs, all with comfy mattresses and pillows, and the linen was all spotless. You get a bath towel and hand towel per person, as well as a separate towel to use with the hot tub. Two of the bedrooms upstairs were en-suite (with double cubicles and powerful hydraulic showers), there was a spacious family bathroom with shower over (perfect for bathing our baby grandson), and a nice open landing. The downstairs bedroom was also en-suite, and there was a cloakroom off the utility. Just remember to keep the blinds closed when the sun is out, as the rooms are in the roof and can get uncomfortably warm. KITCHEN A lovely big open plan kitchen diner with all the mod cons including dishwasher, microwave and toaster. Tastefully done and well equipped with crockery, cutlery, pans and utensils including a commercial-sized cookpot and frying pan! The table seated 10 comfortably. Off the kitchen is a utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a very useful second “drinks” fridge. The dining room has French Doors opening out to the deck, and morning and night we were visited by families of ducks which was areal treat for our grandson. LIVING Three big sofas, lots of side tables, and a big open space in the middle for our grandson to play! A big Sony TV with all the usual smart tv features and a soundbar was much appreciated for watching the Euro 2020 football. There is another set of French Doors opening onto the deck – so plenty of air circulation when it got really got. SERVICE We absolutely could not fault the service we received from the management team. They responded promptly to queries in advance and while on-site, and there was an office on-site to help with any queries during our stay. We were unhappy with the cleanliness of the floors when we arrived – a by-product on the additional sanitisation required elsewhere because of COVID I guess – but they sent a crew in on Saturday morning to address this. OVERALL Cherry Cottage definitely deserves a 4.5 star rating, and we will be coming back again. So we have no hesitation in recommending it as a fab base for a family holiday in the Lakes, with lots of luxury at a very reasonable price.

Christine May 2021

We all enjoyed our stay but the price for next year is too high unfortunately.

David January 2020

“All of our party loved our stay at Cherry Cottage.”

The cottage itself was modern, clean and beautifully decorated that the pictures can't quite do justice to. The owners were extremely helpful in facilitating our party's needs and I cannot recommend this cottage and these vendors enough! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back.

Kerry May 2019

“We loved our stay at Cherry cottage.”

I found Sykes was excellent to deal with, responded quickly to email query and phoned to confirm requests. The cottage was lovelt, spacious, clean and tidy. A couple of things to mention, we could have done with more than 4 loo rolls for 10 of us for 2 nights. We ended up going to the shop to buy more which was a bit inconvenient. We did ask for all the rooms to have twin beds but 2 of the rooms were still doubles. Fridge freezer wasn't working on arrival but quickly sorted. The welcome pack was a nice touch, would be nice to maybe have ice trays filled in the freezer for arrival. We would have loved a few little blankets so we could take advantage of the outside space more on the cooler evenings. There was lots of wildlife in the woods behind the cottage including a little deer that kept popping up and Mrs and Mr Duck who visited every morning to see what they could get for breakfast! Thanks for a a lovely stay

- Kerry, May 2019
Christine April 2019

“The cottage is ideally located for exploring the beautiful area around lake Windermere.”

The cottage is very well equipped and conveniently laid out, the hot tub is just an added bonus, particularly after a long day hiking. The site staff are friendly and helpful. This is the second year we have stayed in this cottage and we'll definitely be back again next year.

- Christine, April 2019

The location was great An easy 20 mins walk into bowness Facilities outstanding Can I suggest a bath/shower mat needed please as quite slippy surface Otherwise a perfect weekend retreat

- Anne, November 2018
Christine November 2018

“The cottage was clean, warm and beautifully presented.”

Contact with the owner was excellent. The only criticism was the directions to the cottage on the Sykes website. They did not take into account that not everyone has a satnav.

- Christine, November 2018
Edward October 2018

“An excellent stay with yourselves.”

Couldn't have been happier. Each bedroom and bathroom was clean and tidy and we loved the Hot Tub and Log burner. The tiny issue we had was that we couldn't find/didn't have salt or pepper in the house - I know it's not compulsory to have but it'd have just ticked every single box - a rating of 99/100 without it. Thanks from some very happy Customers. :-)

- Edward, October 2018
Kim August 2018

“Cherry woodland cottage was lovely, the only criticisms we had were there could have been a few more coat hangers.”

Also when we arrived on the weekend the neighbours we think in the big house were extremely noisy, also every time the immediate neighbours moved a chair (which they done quite often especially late at night) you could hear them dragging the chairs across the wood floor! We loved the hot tub and my daughters used it morning and night. The accomodation was in a lovely setting my daughter watched the wildlife every morning, the walk to Windermere via the footpath was more than a 15 minute walk but very pretty. All the villages in the surrounding area were very pretty Coniston was a lovely place and we travelled up to Keswick which is worth a visit. All in all a lovely holiday.

- Kim, August 2018
Anita July 2018

“Spacious and clean, everything provided to make your stay a home from home, couldn’t ask for anything more!”

Internet a little temperamental at times, that’s the only negative we found!

- Anita, July 2018
Ross July 2018

“The cottage was unbelievable everybody was blown away by it, also how peaceful it was definitely booking again.”

- Ross, July 2018
Lisa June 2018

“The cottage was beautiful and so clean and tidy.”

We had everything we could want and more with the peaceful surroundings and great facilities. The hot tub was great and was checked everyday (discreetly) to ensure it was working correctly. The town of Bowness was a 15 min walk down hill or a 5 min (£5) taxi ride back up the hill! Would recommend and would certainly visit again.

- Lisa, June 2018
Sue June 2018

“Great setting over looking the woodland of the lakes.”

The house was great and just what we needed to celebrate my 50th birthday. You had thought of everything and we all loved it :-)

- Sue, June 2018
Shona June 2018

“The thing we could complain about was the noise for one of the cottages or big house at the back of us.”

It was very loud up until around four in the morning.

- Shona, June 2018
Anne May 2018

“1. The ground floor shower room was not suitable for use by anyone with a mobility problem as there is high step up into the shower and nothing to hold onto [ eg.”

grab rails] when entering or leaving the shower. I was unable to shower during our stay but had to make do with standing to wash. I did enquire about suitability of shower use before booking and felt misled. Also the shower room is so small that it is difficult to use. The hand wash basins are cloakroom size making it awkward for tooth cleaning without banging into the wall. The ground floor shower room is approximately 7 feet x by less than 3 feet wide then hand wash basin 10 inches deep and a shower and toilet fitted into the space. Not much room for comfort ! The showers were difficult for the able bodied among us due the bi-fold doors. 2. Without moving and making use of the hot-tub steps and the cigarette end box it was not possible for me to use the patio area due to high steps again . 3. Although access to the communal on-site open fields and woodlands is advertised the gates , apart from one we found, have notices saying 'KEEP OUT' 4. Overall it was a disappointing experience because it did not meet the expectations implied by the advertising which uses the word ' luxury' when there was an overall meanness of spirit in that it , although was very comfortable in some ways, failed in others such as cheap small sized cutlery, rather worn kitchen goods, no pegs for hanging washing on line, no spare toilet paper and minimal hospitality welcome. I do understand that this a self-catering holiday but its not the cheapest and the advertising raises expectations which are not met. 5. Some aspects of my complaints we could have easily overlooked but not the difficulty of not being able to use a shower . The expectations on arrival were were lessened by a notice saying 'overflow car park' when we felt were going to a quiet cottage in the country side and there were a lot more buildings on the site not shown in the advertising. 6. I have now spent a great deal of time , on several occasions , pointing out the shortcomings of this holiday let when I would much preferred to have come home feeling more relaxed and less stressed about the lack of quality regarding our stay. 7. Sadly and lastly we may not book with Sykes Cottages again as our recent holiday experiences have failed in one or more ways as I expect your records show.

Debbie May 2018

“Fabulous accommodation in a secluded spot not far from town adjoining a handful of other similar cottages.”

Modern decor, well appointed kitchen, large cosy living room & 5 comfortable bedrooms. Everything was perfect for our recent stay, including the weather! Would highly recommend.

- Debbie, May 2018
Nicola February 2018

“Great place to stay!”

10 of use stayed here for a weekend away and had a lovely experience. The size of the cottage and facilities were excellent for the number in our group and the running of the cottage was really straight forward, including operating the log burner, smart TV, sound bar and hot tub. We are already looking at booking again for later in the year. Many thanks
