“Fabulous!! Read a few negative reviews before coming but we didn’t find any issues at all”

. House was immaculate, super comfortable, gorgeous views and in a lovely secluded location. Walks on the doorstep and a great base for visiting the lakes. Didn’t want to leave and would definitely come back.

“A great venue very well kitted out , amazing views Can publish above on site - below is for information Barbecue would be helpful Local walking routes or guidance with local canoe hire water sports or gym facilities would enhance experience.”

We had good help from company with bird strike and window Bit pricey

“Unclean floors throughout, couches dirty, dirty and stained dining room chairs, disgusting, heavily stained mattresses.”

Dryer didn't work at all, TV broke in lounge, no TV for 3 nights (maintenance couldn't fix) Odd to not have any space to store food in kitchen, except a small tiered basket. Foul smell of drains downstairs, worst being in one en suite which was unbearable. Boiler made a terrible noise when hot water was used. Patio doors are exceptionally heavy! Stunning views, lovely garden, great walk from the doorstep, great location. Good layout, comfortable (even though filthy) beds, lovely upstairs open plan room. Should be rated 4 star, not 5 star.

“What a wonderful property!”

Stunning views over the lake and mountains in the distance, and we were treated to a few flyby’s from the RAF over Windermere. It’s a lovely house with a stunning garden, our little sausage dog had a ball sniffing round the garden. We would not hesitate to stay here again! The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the boiler - it’s very noisy so if you have a shower late at night, be prepared for about 10 minutes of noise. It soon goes quiet again so not a major inconvenience, but certainly something to be aware of for light sleepers or those with small children.

“Loved the house, was very cosy and warm even without the fire lit.”

Great location and very quiet away from Bowness. Only criticism was there was no cleaning product to clean the bathroom/toilets with.

“Lovely stay at Tall Trees and we have booked again to stay in July.”

Some suggestions the mugs need replacing, some are chipped and well worn. I’d also suggest a few storage baskets to keep fruit, bread or tinned foods in. The builders next door were very pleasant and considerate, we had no issues at all. Highly recommend, what a beautiful property the owner have!

“Overall the cottage is beautiful.”

A few issues to point out but must add didn’t ruin our experience Completely……… 1. There is no cupboards in kitchen to put food. 2. Dirty floors under beds 3. Horrendous smell in one of the en-suite bathrooms so was unable to sleep in the bedroom 4. It would have been nice to come into the cottage in December with at least a Xmas tree… Very bare and unwelcoming 5. Most Channels on main Tv lost after a couple of days ( Told it would have been due to the storm, but we had the channels for the first few days ) We still had a good time

“Good location with some great walks from the doorstep.”

The house is really comfortable but with oddly high loo’s (or maybe we are just short) :-) Spectacular views from the front balcony/windows of The Old Man of Coniston. A very well insulated house, which is a good thing - we had all the heating turned off in October!! Would definitely go back - loved it!

“Second time we have holidayed at Tall Trees and we love it.”

The accommodations is comfortably kitted out with all mod cons to enable you to have a great break. Fab location for us to explore the Lakes and when its time to chill and read you can sit back and enjoy the mountain views with the bonus of a log fire is you so wish. We had a lot of heavy rain whilst in the Lakes and this must have caused an issue with the exterior lighting as the upper ring-main fuse tripped and bestowed darkness upon us. Once I had sussed out there were three light switches we couldn't use all was fine...we just had to leave those switches untouched for the remainder of the holiday. Our problem was... is the contact number on our paperwork and in the TT pack to report such issues just rang out, and we tried several times to report this fault but nobody answered the call. If it had been a major problem I am not sure what we would have done. So you guys need to address this one as that could have potentially been a more serious situation. Other than that we loved our stay at Tall Trees Dave Turney

“The rug and cushions had been removed from the lounge area and the wooden floor looked like it needed a good polish.”

Some of the blinds were broken and the dining chairs were stained. There was no storage for food whatsoever other than the fridge. There were no trays and no serving bowls. This was our third visit but felt the open plan kitchen and lounge is now looking like it needs some attention.

- Theresa, May 2021

Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. Due to Covid requirements some soft furnishings, rugs, cushions etc, have been removed so unfortunately they weren’t in place during your stay. The owner has taken onboard your comments regarding the blinds, chairs, etc and our maintenance team have been made aware too. We hope the above doesn’t deter you from staying again at this property and hope to see you again in the near future. Once again, we thank you for taking the time to give us your valuable feedback.

“Tall trees is a beautiful property in an ideal location the facilities are more than adequate for our family and although there was building work next door it had zero impact on our experience.”

The property was fairly clean, the only thing that let this down was the windows being dirty, which is emphasised on a sunny day in the glass room, and there was a lot of dirt and food remains down the sides of the couch cushions. Apart from this it was spotless. We were a little disappointed in the master bedroom en-suite, as the images show a jacuzzi tub, but this has been removed at some point and replaced with a standard tub. And the images showed a bbq on the terrace, and other reviews had mentioned using this but it was not at the property during our stay. We were hoping to have a bbq one evening on the terrace. Overall the experience was great, and we would love to come back again.

- Robbie, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mr Kellaway. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now rectified. We are sorry the old image of the jacuzzi bath was still showing, this has now been removed. Unfortunately at present there isn’t a BBQ at Tall Trees for guests to use however this is something the owners are now considering. I have also passed your comments onto the housekeeping team to address your concerns. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope you visit us again soon. Property Owner

The property

This luxuriously eclectic detached Lakeland residence occupies a sublime setting within woodland glade surrounded by 'tall trees' only a short walk from the shores of Lake Windermere alongside Storrs Park, known locally as 'Millionaires' Mile'. Please note that building work is being carried out next door which should be complete by the end of April. Internal work will be completed by the start of April which will just leave landscaping and tarmacking of the car park. Disruption will be at a minimum - this is reflected in the owners advertised rates for any disruption caused. For a holiday with 'wow factor' - this is a special place and one to spend your precious time together soaking up Lakeland's luxuries. Step inside and take pleasure in the outstanding contemporary features echoed throughout, a secluded country Lake District atmosphere blends effortlessly with 21st century life, where the infinity glazed accommodation really does bring the outside in - walk out through full length bi-folding doors onto the substantial terraced balcony or the large slate patio, here you can't help but fall in love with the setting! What a great place to unwind and enjoy al-fresco Lakeland life with direct access onto a maze of National Trust footpaths. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Tall Trees is a magical treat delivering sheer luxury and matching your high expectations. Enjoy the luxury chic bathrooms, sumptuous bedrooms, 21st century open plan kitchen and dining dining area fit for any formal gathering complete with doors straight out onto the terraced balcony and the relaxing living space with warming circular woodburner, all wrapped up in sophisticated technology, are but a few things to mention. This picturesque sleepy hamlet known as Ghyll Head is close to everything and surrounded by some favourite eateries including the very well known 'Masons Arms' at Strawberry Bank with bustling Bowness-on-Windermere being a short distance away. == Accommodation in detail A private drive leads to Tall Trees with ample parking right outside and the upside down accommodation can be accessed from both levels yet we will bring you in the lower level; entrance hall onto the oak flooring which is throughout complemented by sumptuous rugs and furnishings. On this level are the three bedrooms and three bathroom facilities; one king size with en-suite bathroom comprising bath and separate wet room slate monsoon shower facility; the second king size bedroom provides a free-standing roll top slipper bath and a separate luxurious monsoon slate wet room and lastly is the twin bedded room with en-suite monsoon wet room facility - sheer luxury and never any queuing! Also on this level is a useful utility room housing a separate washer and dryer together with a large American style fridge / freezer delivering ice on tap for your long drinks. Upstairs to what we call the glass box living, this has to be seen to be fully appreciated as all walls of glass admire the outside and with vaulted ceiling and sliding doors, this is a special place. Luxury furnishings, the contemporary wood burner, state of the art kitchen wrapped up in granite and access to the terraced balcony, substantial slate patio and garden leading into the woods - we think you will agree this is magical in every way. Although the property allows pets the garden and outside area is not dog proofed and is not enclosed. Please ensure Dogs and young children are supervised. Location This breath-taking property lies only a couple of miles from Bowness village - which is only 20 minutes from the M6 and just a few miles from Windermere train station. Bowness is a contemporary Lake District village on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake and one of the most scenic destinations in the UK for a romantic break. The village is alive with cafes and restaurants, as well as plenty of choice for a special evening out. There are handy groceries, supermarkets and sophisticated shops for leisurely browsing. There is a cinema, a theatre and even a lakeshore nightclub to guarantee you a lively night out if you want one! Stunning Lake Windermere offers all sorts of activities. You'll enjoy taking a sunset wander on the lakeshore or hiring a rowing boat for a bit of fun. Steamers run from Bowness Pier all year round, taking scenic cruises to Lakeside and Ambleside. A great way to explore without the car. You can also take a car ferry from Bowness to the west shore of Lake Windermere, where Beatrix Potter's magical countryside and the honeypot village of Hawkshead are waiting to be explored. Walkers will love exploring the paths and fells around Lake Windermere. For example, Gummers How is a short steep route to a viewpoint high above the Lake (well worth the effort!) and the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank, Bowland Bridge, is the ideal pub to visit for refuelling afterwards. If you are a serious hiker then many of the most spectacular and challenging mountains of the Lake District are within easy driving distance.
