“Plus points - spacious, comfortable beds, fab views, great location for walking into Bowness (beware the steepness of the drive).”

Loved the balcony and the electric awning (shame the lights had no bulbs). Negatives - Overall too hot on our arrival. Unable to turn down some radiators. We also object to paying a lot of money to be expected to strip the beds ourselves at the end of our stay. Also, there was no kitchen bin liner! Turned out we had to open the cardboard box to find 3 bin liners and 2 eco friendly dishwasher tablets plus a scourer.

Loved the balcony and the electric awning (shame the lights had no bulbs). Negatives - Overall too hot on our arrival. Unable to turn down some radiators. We also object to paying a lot of money to be expected to strip the beds ourselves at the end of our stay. Also, there was no kitchen bin liner! Turned out we had to open the cardboard box to find 3 bin liners and 2 eco friendly dishwasher tablets plus a scourer. In an area that has no recycling facilities which is disappointing in itself, it is even more disappointing to have to discard a cardboard box. It really is not necessary. I'd much prefer the bin to be lined and dishwasher tabs under the sink. The kitchen was well equipped though we're glad there was a more conventional oven as the steam ovens were way too complicated.

“What a lovely house, it had everything we needed.”

The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cooking equipment, beds were very comfortable. The view from the balcony was a bonus. Woods behind the house to take the dogs for a run. Short walk down to the town. We all enjoyed our stay and will book this property again in the near future

“The property has the most magnificent views of the lake.”

It was very clean and plenty of choice of cooking and crockery facilities. The property is in need of some maintenance like paths and the bathrooms could do with an update. Having said that this did not stop us from having the most amazing week at Tanna hill.

Robert July 2023

“A very delightful & ideally positioned house with great views.”

However Could have done with spare bedding and towels for a two week stay. Also didn't have a holiday feel inside very dated & personal belongings including photo albums left in lounge units. Also would liked to have recycled but instructions clearly said throw ALL rubbish in one bin even though recycle truck did turn up one morning. Apart from these negatives we would still highly recommend this property.

Dorothy July 2023

“Beautiful property ,a little bit dated .”

Everything needed is catered for.. View from balcony is wonderful. Drive very steep but worth it for the view. Would love to stay again.

Duncan July 2023

“What great accommodation.”

We had our doubts about the view but we needn't have worried, fabulous. The house is a short walk from Bowness and all that has to offer. A climb back up the hill to get home, but that wasn't a problem, just added to the fun. The balcony view was superb and the house was very welcoming, we felt at home right away. There isn't an enclosed garden for the dogs but that was fine for our two, they got used to the banked grassed area by the footpath. I would recommend this property to anyone, thank you so much Tanna Hill :-)

- Duncan, July 2023
Tony June 2023

“The house is excellent.”

.we had parking for 3cars and room if needed for a couple more if required.. 3 reasonable size bedrooms 3bathrooms.. Seen some comments regards wi fi..whole of Bowness not good for Wi-Fi but who needs that when you go out onto the balcony and see the views.. table and seating area for 6people get the cards out and games .. Go to the Hole int wall for a ploughman’s lunch it’s amazing and only 6/7mins walk away..maybe 10/15on way back up hill but you are in the lakes.. Will defo be re booking this place.. Cheers Tony

Elizabeth May 2023

“The views from the property where absolutely stunning, the balcony and seating made it a lovely spot to sit out, it was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was a lovely sociable space with all equiptment you would need if you prefer to cook rather than eating out.”

Bowness is a very short walk of around 10 minutes with everything there on the doorstep it was easier walking downhill than back up ! we took a short cut through Happimag apartments bringing you right out near tourist information. There is ample parking and turning making it easier to manoeuvre off the drive. All in all a fantastic break with unrivalled views and Post Knott a short walk up.

- Elizabeth, May 2023

Thank you for your comments, it is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and the views! We hope to welcome you back again. Thank you. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“Lovely property with great views over the lake.”

The photos do not do this place justice. We arrived in the dark met by a long , fully lit up driveway, which has plenty of room for multiple cars. It's difficult to appreciate the size of this property until you're in front of it. The hallway with gallery landing above has a real wow factor upon entry. After a few minute's I was torn between thinking this house needed the decor modernising and loving the charm of it all as it was. •Kitchen was very well equipped, very clean, with good quality appliances •The living room is huge, with fantastic views of the lake, comfortable seating and a smart TV. Fully adjustable lighting and a lovely fireplace •The light on the rear patio didn't work but was rarely needed with such a fantastic frint facing balcony •The bedrooms are spacious and the beds really comfortable. The wardrobes need updating but we're functional. •We only used the downstairs shower, which was fine so cannot comment on the other two. •The property was immaculately clean and the heating set perfect for our needs, always warm after we returned from walks and days out. The only real downside to this property is also the reason for its biggest plus. Its built on a hill, above bowness, and whilst its just a 10 minute walk from the centre, it is a very steep uphill walk. We used the steps on the far side of the property, which are far easier to manage than the driveway. The views are well worth the effort though. My family really enjoyed the week and we would stay again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner
Wendy January 2023

“Good location with views of the lake and beyond.”

Steep hill and drive with restricted space to turn car around. On arrival the property was cold due to the restricted CH timings. We had to continually boost the CH during our stay. Also whilst the WIFI worked in the kitchen it was unreliable in the rest of the house (not a problem with our devices). The electric shower in the upstairs bedroom is useless in cold weather. A small amount of washing up liquid/ disinfectant/ washing powder would be useful.

- Wendy, January 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the views. We will pass on your comments regarding the CH and the WIFI to look into. Property Owner

“Excellent way to spend Christmas, great location and a magnificent view of the lake.”

David December 2022

“What a fantastic property.”

Very grand and plenty of room for a larger party of people. The dogs loved it as well, plenty room for them to play. Amazing views from the balcony and windows. A very well equipped kitchen and the showers are fantastic. If I was being ultra critical I would say the parking can be a bit tricky but it certainly wouldn’t stop me from booking again, which we hope to do for next year.

- David, December 2022
Neil October 2022

“Another lovely stay at Tanna Hill.”

The property is as beautiful as ever. Clean, tidy, comfortable and cosy. Very well equipped with everything you need and more. Location in Bowness is great albeit the hill is better to walk down than up! :)

- Neil, October 2022
Gavin September 2022

“Lovely property, fantastic views from the first floor through the panoramic windows !”

Only a short walk into Bowness. Brant Fell is immediately behind the property, perfect if you have a dog.

- Gavin, September 2022
Barry September 2022

“On arrival will found the key safe unlocked and faulty also oven and microwave not cleaned this was reported to you on the day but nothing was done about it we also found greasy tins chipped cups the lights on the back patio did not work half the lights on the canopy did not work and one of the TV remote did not work We reported the key safe to you again on Friday 16th but again nobody got back to us and we had to tape the key's into the key safe This is all bad housekeeping for such a lovely house and we felt you let us down.”

- Barry, September 2022
David September 2022

“Lovely property with wonderful views from the large balcony.”

We had a lovely week with family and would definitely revisit. We did have an issue with the internet as it kept loosing the broadband internet connection and finally we just gave up trying to use it after three days.

- David, September 2022
Janet August 2022

“Despite my phoning in advance to check there was gas for the BBQ there was not.”

Additionally, although the email confirmation said the bedroom on the first floor would be made up as a twin, on arrival it was made up as a king size. Housekeeping returned quickly and changed the bedding but left the beds positioned very close together. Everything else was great; the views and location of this house are brilliant!

- Janet, August 2022

Anne September 2021

“A lovely peaceful place with easy 8 min walking access to Bowness town if you don't mind hills.”

View from lounge, kitchen diner and balcony exceptional. Only downside, bbq was dirty and unusable.

- Anne, September 2021
Alison September 2021

“Fantastic property and views amazing Had everything we needed One request ...”

Fantastic property and views amazing Had everything we needed One request would be the need for recycling- neighbours had put recycling out and felt this could be easily done by guests Needs BBQ utensils Otherwise very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay thank you

John June 2021

“It’s all about the view.”

We were very lucky and had a full week of sunny weather and we spent a lot of time on the large balcony with its views of the lake. The house is very well equipped and has everything needed nice comfy seats and beds. The patio area also has good views and has a large dining table and chairs it also has a gas barbecue, great for al fresco dining. We spent most of the week indoors only going indoors to ok and sleep and watch the euros on tv. A really stunning house and a great place to stay. The drive way is a challenge at first in a big car but you soon get used to it

“When we arrived at the house, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not to an acceptable standard.”

I had to scrub the outside of the kettle to remove dried on food and their was scale that had built up around the spout. (It needed a new kettle!) there was also dirty cutlery and cupboards/draws that clearly hadn't been checked and a warming draw with food debris in. There was also dog dirt on the patio area. The rest of the house, bathrooms and bedrooms was clean and the balcony had fantastic views and definitely was worth hiring the house for. We did make the owner aware of the cleanliness issue on the evening we arrived and later in the week he dropped us of a gift as an apology, however we never heard anything from Lakelovers and no one offered to come and clean the kitchen at any point. As we are in the middle of a pandemic, cleanliness has a higher priority than ever before, this was not a cheap holiday let, so we were very disappointed that we came across this issue. We were told we couldn't enter the property until 4pm due to the extra cleaning taking place but we arrived at 2pm and there was no sign of the cleaners, so it wasn't as if they ran out of time! There is also a branding issue as we booked under Lakelovers but when we tried to sign into our account we couldn't get in and were told we had to log into Sykes cottages website? This feedback email was sent by Lakelovers & yet the start of the feedback form says "Your Sykes Experience" That is really unprofessional, please sort your branding out so we as customers know who we are booking with!

- Kay, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mrs Dickinson. Please accept our apologies, Lakelovers look after the cleaning for Tanna Hill and this matter has been reported to the Housekeeping Manager, as this falls well below our expected standards. Unfortunately on this occasion we weren't informed of the issues you have mentioned as one of the team would have attended immediately. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention and we do hope this hasn't deterred you from staying again at Tanna Hill. Property Owner

“The house is very comfortable and the view of the Lake spectacular .”

The only small downer was the kitchen .There is a cupboard where previous holiday makers have left food .It was dirty and a lot of packets were out of date some by 10 years!. This wouldn’t put me off as we only had breakfast at the house. Would definitely book again .

- Mayda, May 2021
Julie May 2021

“The house is beautiful.”

Fantastic views. 5 mins walk to centre. Quite a steep walk back. Very spacious, huge entrance hall so loads of space for wellies walking boots etc. clean and really well equipped. Very well maintained. There is one ensuite bathroom and 2 other bathrooms so each bedroom has a bathroom. We had 2 Frenchies so having garden was great but had to watch them as it is not enclosed. I would definitely recommend this property.
