“The property was immaculate with everything needed only issue was not having direct access to the hot tub from the property However unfortunately we booked this as it was advertised as all ground floor accommodation perfect for a romantic getaway it was in reality a ground floor flat with the upstairs occupied by a couple and a small child.”

The noise created was unacceptable, screaming and running around with no consideration given to anyone else This was hardly relaxing for us and definitely not a romantic getaway accommodation.

- Marie, October 2024

Thank you for your feedback and informing us there was a child staying. We are sorry to hear that your romantic getaway was not as relaxing as expected. We were not informed by the guest staying in Lake View on their booking that they were bringing a child and the apartments are for two adults only. We hope you return in the future, if not to stay at one of the apartments, to stay in one of the boathouses, which are considered as romantic getaways over Lake Windermere.

“Fabulous stay - everything you need, great housekeeping staff, really helpful .”

Loved it .

- Rachel, September 2024
Medwyn September 2024

“Lovely newly built property overlooking the lake- it is part of a larger development and, although it has its own electric security gate, guests usjng 2 lower properties do drive right in front of the house (not a big issue really) About 5 minutes drive from Bowness- busy toad- not really suitable for walking.”

Modern interior- clean and clinical rather than cosy but with all modern conveniences It has a private terrace overlooking the lake with a hot tub and also boasts a whirlpool bath onbthe bathroom Comfortable bed . Very helpful staff who are around most days. Most enjoyable week.

Christopher June 2024

“Property was absolutely immaculate and flawless in every way, very modern, spacious and incredibly clean and comfortable and exactly as described.”

The hot tub was an amazing addition. My fiance and I loved every inch of it. Despite construction work going on next door, it didn't spoil how peaceful and tranquil overlooking the lake was. The house is perfectly located, just far enough away from the busy towns but close enough to enjoy everything. One tiny piece of advice is maybe for people with allergies to maybe mention in the listing that the bedding is goose down for those with allergies which my fiance did but nothing major at all.Thank you for everything

- Christopher, June 2024

Dear guest, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for such positive feedback. We have taken on board your comment about allergies and this is now listed on all our properties. We do hope you choose to return in the future. The Louper Weir Team Property Owner
Nadia June 2024

“Our stay at Lower Lake View was amazing.”

The listing was exactly as described and the location was perfect. The only small issue we encountered was that the property’s gates seemed to have issues however the maintenance team worked tirelessly to remedy this for us and were extremely friendly and approachable regarding the gates and any other small issues. We’d definitely recommend a stay here!

- Nadia, June 2024

Dear guest, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the positive feedback. You'll be pleased to hear the middle gate has been fixed since your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. The Louper Weir Team Property Owner
Trevor May 2024

“We had an amazing time.”

The cottage was immaculately presented and the attention to detail was incredible. Katrina was very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Trevor, May 2024

Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We have forwarded this on to Katrina who is pleased she could be of help and happy you had an amazing time. Kind regards, The Louper Weir Family Property Owner
Andrew May 2024

“Forgot how uncomfortable the sofa was, the pillows on bed too soft and thin, I did complain to a man at the office about a second car parking in front of window blocking the lake view as this was an issue last time we stayed, and did not get a great response, very unprofessional attitude.”

- Andrew, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We do hope you enjoyed your stay despite the issues you mentioned. The sofa was purchased for its quality, durability and firmness. I have been informed it does soften over time - although I do not know how long it takes. We offer two pillow grades - soft and medium. I will speak with house keeping. The car park in front of the property is designated for the two apartments and caters for two cars so I am not sure why a car was parked in front of the window. We were not informed of this during your stay so thank you for bringing it to our attention. I hope you choose to stay with us again. If you have no mobility issues, perhaps the apartment above, Lake View, would be more to your liking. Kind regards, The Louper Weir Family Property Owner
Patrick December 2023

“Great property to stay in during snow storm.”

Clean and exactly as is shown on photos. Keys were not left in said location and had to wait about 45 mins to get someone to come and deliver them. Apart from that it was a great stay.

- Patrick, December 2023
Dani October 2023

“Overall another good stay.”

Good location to retreat back too and nice views. Overall pictures shown are exactly what you get and this is our second stay here now. A few niggles that need addressing - frying pan severely burnt - couldn’t/ didn’t want to use it, needs replacing. - mould by front door needs addressing as I got some of it on my trousers when entering the building, obviously a damp issue near the window/door as water on windowsill as well. - 2 tiles in the entry porch are loose and need taking up and refixing. - cleaning store is right next to the property, so the cleaner was there, the hot tub people were there and the groundsman were there at various times in the morning which was a little annoying as it wasn’t discreet and ruined the atmosphere of the place most mornings. The people however very lovely and friendly but just the cars parked right outside, the backwards and forwards of the gates and level of noise was a pain point. Suggestions - we couldn’t use underfloor heating or more didn’t no how to perhaps better instructions for this one. - a parasol needed for hot tub area, can feel very overlooked but also a few days it was super sunny and would have been nice to sit and read a book up there. Thanks for a good stay.

- Dani, October 2023

Thank you for returning to Lower Lake View and for your feedback. We are happy you had a good stay and we are working off your comments so that we can make it an excellent stay. We replaced the burnt frying pan and we have installed a dehumidifier in the utility room to remove excess moisture. Thank you for notifying us of the loose tiles. We are waiting to hear back from maintenance for when they can be refixed. The property has privacy glass so no one can see into the rooms, and the staff are aware they are to be discreet at all times when near the apartments. Apologies, if this was not the case during your stay. There had been a storm the weekend you arrived and the staff were busy clearing the grounds of debris and bringing the external areas back up to standard. The underfloor heating turns on if the temperature falls below 21 degrees. The temperature in the property can be increased manually by up to 5 degrees by pressing the positive symbol on the thermostat. Each press increases the temperature by 1 degree and is indicated by the green light moving to the right. Decreasing the temperature can be done up to 5 degrees by pressing the negative symbol on the thermostat. Each press decreasing the temperature by one degree and is indicated by the green light moving left. Unfortunately, we are unable to put a parasol up on the terrace due to the strong winds that can be experienced in that area. We do look forward to welcoming you back to Louper Weir, if not at Lower Lake View, at one of our other stunning properties on the development. The Louper Weir Family. Property Owner

“This was & is a fabulous place to stay.”

Such a great location, beautiful property & absolutely spotless, we have just had a week here & thoroughly enjoyed the break. However, there are a few points that need to be upgraded & actioned. I myself do not complain whilst I am actually there & comment later. I am aware that things could be rectified whilst there but I think it should have been top notch anyway. On previous occasions people have noted comments etc & things after haven't been improved & they definitely should be listened to, actioned & completed. Here are our notes & recommendations for immediate action necessary. No comeback to the on site cleaners at all, they definitely cleaned this accommodation thoroughly. The Owners & Holiday company should action these recommendations immediately. 1. On approach, Louper Weir should definitely be lit up, previously noted on many occasions & not actioned. 2. Light near door entrance as you can't see door key hole & step down into utility room. 3. New battery on dyson handheld as it doesn't charge any longer. 4. Dyson fan is useless, can I recommend Meaco fans, these are more efficient & effective. Previously noted & not actioned. 5. For such a top spec apartment the new luxury sofa is actually so very uncomfortable to sit on & relax. It is so soft & stupid shape. We have crooked our necks & backs trying to sit correctly & are going for osteopath treatment after now returning home. Again, previously noted & not actioned. 6. Having electric blackout blinds are a great touch, curtain furnishings are needed as there are people & cars around all the time & the blinds need to be closed to have privacy then this leaves you being in the dark all day. This has been noted on many occasions & not actioned. 7. The bed needs to be replaced to a divan & king size duvet to go with the bed & not a double on a king size. The pillows are terrible, this is where we have crooked necks from. So so uncomfortable & once again many people have commented & no action been taken at all 8. The dining table is actually outdoor furniture as I have these myself. However, the seats are so uncomfortable & definitely needs to be soft furnished chairs. Never used the Hot tub as it was too far from the property & badly lit. For such a top spec beautiful place these changes need to be made as it isn't cheap to stay. The cleaners seemed to be around all day but never came in to do anything, never met them until leaving, however it was spotless on arrival.

- Tracy, September 2023

Dear guest, We are pleased you had an enjoyable stay and thank you for your feedback. I will respond to your comments as best I can. Louper Weir is located in a UNESCO site and next to Lake Windermere. Lights along and in the surrounding areas of the lake are limited at night due to preserving the natural enviroment for the local wildlife. On the property we are able to use appropriate downlighting as efficiently and effectively as possible. The Dyson vacuum has been replaced and we use Dyson in general for their after care and ability to obtain spare parts easily. The sofa has been reconfigured - one side is for a lounging position and the other is for normal sitting. The windows have privacy glass so there is no need to leave the blinds down all day. Leaving the blinds down encourages condensation to collect behind and water to pool on the window sills causing water damage and mould to build up. We have installed extra dehumidifiers to control the moisture levels and reduce the amount of condensation build up. We provide two different grades of feather pillow - soft and medium. If they become too flat they are replaced. The housekeeping team are happy to help with requests you may have and are around tending to various areas on the development should you require any assistance. The Louper Weir Team. Property Owner

“This is an amazing place to stay , the view of the lake is amazing , the boat ...”

This is an amazing place to stay , the view of the lake is amazing , the boat jetties with the kayaks was good to , I took the kayaks out a couple of times , I recommend you take a paddle cord with you though, as if an inexperienced person was to take them out and dropped the paddle they would find it difficult to retrieve , hot tub was amazing lovely and warm ,all cooking equipment was more that adequate, if you need a drink and don’t wish to drive there are plenty of taxi services available and most know where your located ,I recommend a swim in the lake also , if your not a strong swimmer you can stand up around the jetties but I recommend swimming shoes , I feel so relaxed after my stay ,and would recommend Lower Lake vie to anyone ,i fact I have to a few family and friends already , many thanks

Steven June 2023

“Good points: Location is 2nd to none.”

Travelled all over the UK staying in similar types of property, lake windemere is up there with the best of them. The property is clean, had everything we needed for what we hoped would be a relaxing stay. The complaints about the fan are ridiculous, there is a tablet next to it with the Dyson app on it or you download it to your smart phone. Very reasonable price for what you get in return. Bad points: Arrived 15 minutes early to pick up the keys after a 7 hour drive up from the south east and was made to feel like we were asking for an extra day for free....... not a great start. Even offered to sit outside for 15 minutes. Get any ideas out of your head about being able to stay at the property and relax. The cleaner and hottub maintenance chap seem to be always at the property. There are lovely floor to ceiling electric blinds which when opened give you a fantastic view. Unfortunately we had to leave them closed to try and retain some privacy. My partner didnt really want to use the hottub as its checked every single day which seems ridiculous. She didnt want to be sat in there with some stranger just walking in. This is the only place we've stayed at in the UK with a hottub that has done this and seems obsessive. Likewise the cleaner seemed to be there every single day we were. This may not have been the case but again, its a self catering property, seems ridiculous that the cleaner is there so much. After the first night we were emailed and asked to give a "First night review" which I marked as adequate because of the privacy issues. I then had to email the office to tell them to leave us alone because we started getting phone calls and emails because of the adequate rating. Certainly won't be coming back to this property. Its not the first time we have used Sykes and had no issues at the last place we stayed at at all.

- Steven, June 2023
Andrew June 2023

“An absolutely fantastic place to stay with amazing views.”

Quality fixtures and fittings which made the stay luxurious. Hot tub was an added extra and after days out was a very relaxing feature.

- Andrew, June 2023
Kay June 2023

“The accommodation was excellent, although it was a really hot week and with windows that did not open the Dyson fan could not be turned down and was too noisy to use.”

An umbrella would have been great on the hot tub area as it was far too hot to sit outside. But overall I would highly recommend it as everything was to a very high standard.

- Kay, June 2023

Our stay from start to finish was first class. Views, sunsets, hot tub, comfy bed everything was 10 out of 10.

“Absolutely amazing accommodation and views breathtaking.”

We stay in the lakes about 8 times a year but now we have been spoiled it would be difficult to book anywhere else. We would love to return to any of the accommodation on this beautiful site.

- Andrew, April 2023
Thomas March 2023

“Generally the property was great… But, it was difficult to find in all honesty and could do with a distinctive feature to look out for.”

The hot tub was not hot on the day of our arrival which is really disappointing especially as is a luxury stay. It also hadn’t heated up by the night time meaning we couldn’t use it on the night either, so we only managed to have a hot tub for 2/3 of our stay. The pillows and bed were uncomfortable in all honesty, pillows were much too soft and felt like you were sinking. The kitchen and seating area were great and dishwasher is nice to have.

- Thomas, March 2023
Terry February 2023

“Lovely high quality apartment, spotlessly clean, hot tub checked every morning, excellent service all round.”

- Terry, February 2023
Anthony February 2023

“Absolutely loved the apartment, the view was amazing and everything was immaculately clean!”

The hot tub was great and it was really handy having a coffee machine. I put 3/4 for “comfort” because the heated flooring didn’t seem to work, the tiles were cold. Perhaps I operated the thermostat wrong but the instructions referred to a dial but there was a panel with buttons, so just guessed what I had to do. The pillows were way too soft, when you lay your head on them they squash down to almost nothing. We could have done with some basic supplies such as sugar, oil, butter and teabags. Other than those fairly minor points this was an amazing place to stay, thank you!

- Anthony, February 2023
Gerard January 2023

“I'm sorry to say we just hated.”

....that our wonderful week of relaxation, clean air, breathtaking views, and so much silence it hurt our ears, was over!! Appointed to a very high standard and spotlessly clean, underfloor heating that welcomes and warms you from the moment you arrive, simply Heaven! Love the hot tub, but cover can be a little heavy to replace if only one person ( my wife is disabled, so unfortunately can't assist!). But that's a minor point. Secure parking and electric charging facilities a plus, as we have a hybrid car. All in all, somewhere to unwind and recharge if life is hectic. This was our 2nd time, and we will return ( just like Arnie)

- Gerard, January 2023
Stephen January 2023

“The settee that is in the property was a welcome surprise compared to the two chairs in the photo on the listing.”

It might be worth changing the wording on the listing regarding the EV charging which is basically a waterproof 13A socket,It caught me out as I was expecting a proper charger.

- Stephen, January 2023
Barry December 2022

“Really great property, stunning views, superb facilities.”

Only issues for me were finding it in the dark and would recommend flip flops for getting to/from hot tub.

- Barry, December 2022

“Absolutely speechless”

Sarah November 2022

“Amazing property, comfortable with all amenities you could need.”

Definitely staying again

- Sarah, November 2022
Paul October 2022

“The apartment was beautiful together with the views.”

The chairs in the lounge not really comfortable and would suggest a two seater sofa also. The apartment upstairs was the only annoying issue as walking around upstairs was loud downstairs which may be due to the flooring in the upstairs apartment.

- Paul, October 2022
Bob September 2022

“Hi just a couple of points.”

The office to pick up key is "not opposite" the Windermere Hotel". Give an address and small photo of offices. We were there 3 days before the housekeeper told us about table/chairs that were down beside lake for our private use. The accommodation is finished to a high spec BUT the two swivel chairs provided in lounge area are not in anyway way comfortable (my partner developed a severe back strain from using them). We understand the owners are providing a settee but too late for our stay. In fact we cut the holiday short mainly because of that and it was far from a romantic break!!

- Bob, September 2022
Howard August 2022

“An absolutely fantastic property, fitted with high spec contents throughout, you are doing a wonderful job!”

our only negative feedback is the pillows were far to soft, maybe a selection of pillows would be an extra touch.

- Howard, August 2022
Tony July 2022

“An excellent property, in an ideal location.”

Close enough to walk into Bowness, ideal centrally for accessing the Lakes in generral. The access to the kayack was a complete bonus and something to certainly take dvantage of and use. Would definitely book again!!

- Tony, July 2022
Stephen May 2022

“Good points Property is in a great location right on the lake.”

Good taxi services to and from towns. Key areas of interest all reachable Hot tub clean although can’t view the lake when in it. Bad points No welcome pack, milk or teabags bread etc. Living room area is not very cosy as just has 2 separate chairs to sit on, no sofa. Wasn’t made clear that there is an apartment above so noise can be an issue. Lots of people driving in and out the property in the early mornings (cleaners and hot tub checks etc) so not very peaceful some mornings.

- Stephen, May 2022
Lauren February 2022

“Property was stunning, right near the town centre.”

Would definitely stay again

- Lauren, February 2022
Paul February 2022

“Rubbish access to the property, had to shunt our vehicle several times to park in the allocated parking space, we was in a lower apartment, and had 2 lots of couples above, very noisy, could here every footstep, and for some reason the second couple that arrived on the Sunday evening, decided to rearrange the furniture by dragging it.”

Went on for ages then they went out and came back later and carried on with moving the furniture. We live in a detached property, and so not used to having to deal with that. If we had not have had a drink we would have come home earlier.

- Paul, February 2022
Heather February 2022

“A spotless cottage and fabulous hot tub with a good view of Windermere.”

Remember access gained by the door tucked around the right hand side Lovely bedroom and en-suite all modern but lacked a cosy feel in the main living area. A few elements that I would expect for a 5 rating cottage require addressing Smart tv’s not very smart when not connected to the Wi-Fi due to incorrect Wi-Fi information but was soon sorted out. Quooker tap do not work but kettle was provided Lights to the hot tub requires sorting, on a evening please watch the last step it is not well lit, when you go onto the Hot tub level. Electric gates at the top became a challenge to open in windy weather we had to get help to hold the gates open (a known problem that requires sorting) No welcome pack of goodies in the cottage, not even a pint of milk. It is the first cottage we have had that did not provide this and we have multiple cottage throughout the uk The service from Lake Cottage holidays was outstanding the call the following day of arrival to check everything was ok was a surprise I wish other cottage companies would do the same.

- Heather, February 2022
Deborah January 2022

“Absolutely fantastic apartment and location.”

The only criticism would b that it wasn’t made clear when choosing the property that there is an apartment above. That said, I would stay again.

- Deborah, January 2022
Jill January 2022

“Lower Lake View was amazing.”

The property is finished to a high spec and is spotless. Great views of the lake and the Hot Tub was a real luxury. The customer service from Sykes was great from start to finish, all the staff lovely from key collection to drop off, checking in to makes sure everything was ok. Special mention to the cleaner who was super friendly and does a fantastic job! Definitely recommend a stay here and will hopefully be going back again!

- Jill, January 2022
Gerard December 2021

“Apologies for not reviewing this superb property sooner!”

A little difficult to find from the road if arriving after dark. But once found, all will be forgiven! Adequate secure parking, with electric charging points if required. Excellent underfloor heating, an important aspect if staying in winter as we did. Spotlessly cleaned by 2 very pleasant young ladies we met during our stay. Kitted out with anything and everything you could possibly require for a comfortable stay. Lovely jacuzzi maintained on a daily basis. Though only the 2 of us, we enjoyed a fine New Year celebration and a wonderful week. Returning soon!

- Gerard, December 2021
Dani November 2021

“Overall, after trying to get through the storm the property was perfect.”

The only thing I will say is there was no back up for a powercut, electric blinds meant no visibility inside and electric gates meant no access by car, a problem with a lot of luggage. But had the storm no have hit these wouldn’t be issues. Fantastic property overall. Met the cleaners as well who were lovely!

- Dani, November 2021
Joanna November 2021

“Even though it stated a ground floor apartment, we were unaware that there was accommodation above us.”

If we had realised this, we would have selected another property. As a result of this, we experienced noise from the people above us that was intrusive on more than one occasion. We contacted Sykes to make them aware. As the holiday was about rest for us, we found, on a daily basis, that various workmen were on-site with loud machinery.

- Joanna, November 2021
Paula September 2021

“The privacy of the hot tub and the stunning views of lake Windermere.”

Property finished to a very high standard and very hi tech. Cutlery in the secret draw which caught us out. But its just above the plates and cups draw which you pull out. Loved every minute of our stay, very relaxing. Spa bath and shower excellent, as was curved TVs both smart TVs. The Samsung tablet was handy for checking places out and taxis. Highly recommended. Staff who were around every day were fantastic. Hot tub was checked every day.

- Paula, September 2021
Danica July 2021

“Really good stay would recommend.”

Clean and done to a really high spec. Really safe and secure. Great addition to have a space on the lake to enjoy drinks and use of the kayaks.

- Danica, July 2021
Ciara May 2021

“Amazing apartment - secure gated entrance, beautiful setting with views of Windermere, modern interior with hot tub outside.”

We were so impressed and can’t wait to go back. The soundproofing for the apartment upstairs could be better but not a huge problem in our opinion

- Ciara, May 2021
Linda April 2021

“Superb week away exceeded our expectations.”

Stunning place. We will be booking again. This property is a credit to the owner. The staff are very welcoming and keep the property very well maintained. Dorothy is a absolute gem to the grounds and also looking after guests and property’s

- Linda, April 2021
Ruby October 2020

“The air vent was making noises throughout the night which did effect us getting a good night sleep, but we was also not aware that people would be above us, also on their holiday which made it difficult to sleep is regards to noises late in the evening and early morning.”

- Ruby, October 2020
Shaun September 2020

“Cottage is amazing, lovely and clean and to a very high standard it is a credit to the owner and to the 2 x staff that were on site, friendly and helpful, work is on going at moment on surrounding properties but did not worry me at all, i will be booking again, thank you for such a lovely place.”

- Shaun, September 2020
Marie September 2020

“Stunning location & the property was spotless with modern interior & finishing touches.”

The housekeeping staff were lovely & friendly when we saw them especially Tina who suggested lots of lovely places to visit. Wrynose & hard knock pass are definitely worth a visit to enjoy the beautiful views. This property is outstanding and perfect to relax & enjoy the beauty Bowness-On-Windermere has to offer. We shall certainly be booking here again!

- Marie, September 2020
Adele September 2020

“Lower lake view is exceptional in every way Spectacular view of lake ...”

Lower lake view is exceptional in every way Spectacular view of lake Windermere, Very clean Quality of everything in the apartment is high We wanted for nothing Very comfortable bed 2 smart TV Double electric gates, felt very secure Lovely relaxing late summer break

- Adele, September 2020
Susan August 2020

“The apartment was immaculate and all appliances and fittings were very high quality.”

Lovely view of the lake. The drawback was we could hear every footstep and sound from the people staying upstairs which went on very late every night so it kept us up!

- Susan, August 2020
Peter August 2020

“Amazing appartment and location.”

!! Drove past a couple of time before we found it . Would be tricky in the dark. A neighbour with a similar kitchen helped find the secret cutlery drawer. ! Loved the 1 way floor to ceiling glass view. Hot weather so the hot tub in the cooler evenings a delight. Pity you can't quite see the lake from it but guess that's a privacy trade off .. Also enjoyed the en suite Jacuzzi. .A DVD player would be a bonus especially in winter. We really loved our stay and would return. Definate 5* experience.

- Peter, August 2020
Shanjida July 2020

“Due to strict measures in leaving the country, me and my husband chose the Lake District as our Minimoon for some us time after a very stressful month wedding prepping.”

After searching for hours for the perfect cottage in Windermere, non of the others came close to the Lower Lake View. I had my eyes set on this throughout my whole search. The only thing that would have set us back would be the price as it was a lot more than the others we saw. However, I am so so SO glad we picked this one! You 100% get what you pay for and this cottage was by far my favourite get away. Everything about it was so beautiful! The fact that it was in a little secluded area which required the keys to get through the gates, the private parking, the facilities inside the cottage such as utility room, fully loaded kitchen, two bathrooms, two smart TV’s - my list could go on! It has everything included which is listed in the accommodation details so is literally what it says on the packet. BUT, the one thing it did not mention, is the absolutely beautiful sunset view of the lake we watched every night from the hot tub on the terrace of our cottage. It truly was a dream. This cottage exceeded our expectations by far and made our wind down time for our minimoon a beautiful one. The customer service was absolutely spot on, the staff at the office made our key collection quick and easy, they had given us a courtesy call after our first night to check up on us, the caretaker was so sweet and bubbly when speaking to us at the end of our stay about how it was and even the cleaner of the hot tub we bumped into was lovely! I could not recommend the Lower Lake View enough and will definitely be coming back!!!!!

- Shanjida, July 2020
Gemma July 2020

“We had a lovely stay here.”

The apartment is very modern and was very clean. We loved sitting at the breakfast bar looking at the view of the lake and trees in the morning. It is very spacious for a couple. Every appliance for cooking was available, was very well equipped. The hot tub is really good. We loved going up there and relaxing, again taking in the views. We would love to stay here again and would recommend for anybody wanting a stay with a little bit of luxury.

- Gemma, July 2020
Heather July 2020

“There is no sound proofing from the flat above.”

We heard every conversation they had. Their toilet flush went straight down our bedroom wall keeping us awake or waking us up. The place was superb otherwise but lack of sound proofing would prevent us rebooking.

- Heather, July 2020

Nothing better than winding down in the hot tub after a day of exploring the lake district!

“Unfortunatley on the last morning there was no hot water.”

Tgere was some sort of power cut the previous night where the tv, dishwasher, internet and other things went off. The following morning I got in the shower and waited and waited for it to warm but it never did. I did also try the tap at the sink but again no hot water.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear there was a power cut. The local office is available for any issues should they arise again. Property Owner

“There were quite a few builders around doing work on another property so at times felt abit like a building site that you were staying on also lost abit of privacy due to work men parking outside the cottage.”

Would have been better if we were told about the construction work that was going on beforehand. Furthermore there were cigarette buts and champagne cages littered down the side of the hot tub which was disappointing to see especially considering how clean the rest of the cottage was!

“Fantastically high specced place.”

The place was immaculately clean and finished to a high standard. There was a lack of sugar so something to bear in mind. The hot tub location was fantastic but it could use a glass wall to make the most of the view. Overall a joy to have stayed and the views from the kitchen and bedroom made it worth it. The staff on site were brilliant and engaging.

“Beautiful setting and extremely high standard accommodation no expense spared!”
