“Lovely property had everything we needed.”

- Joanne, June 2022
J. June 2022

“What a fantastic vacation home, everything you are used to at home is in this house, very comfortable and fully equipped.”

When you "come home" after a long tired day it is like coming into a warm bath, the stove works perfectly and you have all the space to relax. Only points of criticism; the room where the washing machine is located smells of diesel oil, a thorough cleaning would not be wrong since this room is only adjacent to the kitchen / room by a single door. And there is a coat rack missing so you have nowhere to hang your coat. Furthermore, nothing but praise for this house!

“Lovely house very clean and tidy all our needs catered for, good area for all we wanted to do.”

The only thing we thought that could do with replacing are the dining chairs the seats have gone.

“Lovely, private, great location.”

“Do not book your holiday with Sykes.”

The arrogance when their website didn’t work was less than helpful. After making the booking it wasn’t possible to access my booking, ONLY if download Firefox!!! Bellman Cottage is a great place to stay suggest it’s ‘luxury’ by comparison with many other properties. We will book this property again and not with Sykes.

“Cottage was beautiful well decorated and equipped.”

Situated about a mile from the tourist area which I believe gets extremely busy in high season. There are some lovely walks from the cottage, if you don’t want to use the car and several buses stop just outside. We were disappointed that there was no tumble dryer as we got extremely wet several days and we read details as washer dryer thinking it was electric not a metal hanging dryer. Some instructions for extractor fan would be useful too. I would definitely go back to cottage.

“This is the second time at Bellman cottage and it's just as inviting as the first.”

The cottage is well situated for travel around the lake district, and I particularly like the laundry room, which is ideal for drying wet walking clothes after a day on the fells.

“Delightful and comfortable cottage with a modern interior finish, a real home from home.”

Good road access, to Bowness-on-Windermere and beyond. Liked the cottage immensely so much so that I booked it again for 2022.

- Iain, October 2021
Elaine October 2021

“The property was absolutely lovely, home away from home.”

Would definitely book again, three on-suite bedrooms were perfect.

- Elaine, October 2021

“Rubbish not collected despite reporting it on multiple occasions.”

No mid stay change of towels and bedding in a two week stay. House fabulous. Lakelovers were woeful.

- Ben, July 2021
Michelle July 2021

“Considering the mess that has been the past two years, this was amazing.”

Very professional, totally able to help when needed. Lots of messages to make sure we knew what we needed to know.

- Michelle, July 2021
Fiona July 2021

“Great customer service from Sykes as always, beautiful property in a gorgeous part of the country and would highly recommend.”

Only downside was I had work commitments for a few days and the WiFi was down and had been from the previous week. But this would not put us off returning, we had a great holiday.
