“A lovely and well appointed property which felt spacious and relaxing.”

Really enjoyed our stay. I particularly welcomed a good selection of knives and a knife sharpener - the kitchen was well equipped for cooking which is not the case with many rentals.

“It’s a nice place be honest, the size, the location and the layout are quite good.”

However a few points we thought that can be improved. The heating system kept turning off during the night. The customer service sent someone to check it very quickly but didn’t make any changes unfortunately. We have three kids and a grand nanny , they kept waking up in the midnight as it’s too cold. Also, an unclear information of trash disposal was a bit annoying. We were unable to find black/green bins all around the house, we need to catch the train so had to left it in the kitchen. Finally, as guests we were very confused about why we should take off all bedding sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases ourselves. This part as per our understanding, shouldn’t left to guests at all. In general we will say it’s still a good experience but can be better. Thanks

“Fab cottage, really clean and perfect for us as a family.”

Only minor point was we were quite cold the first night as I think the house had been unoccupied for a while and it took a while to for the turned up heating to warm the house. Fine once it did though but s spare blanket or two in the master bedroom wouldn’t go a miss.

“We had a fantastic stay.”

The cottage is very well laid out and had everything we needed during the stay. We loved the collection of books and maps. The beds are very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. Parking was easy just outside the front door and the cottage is within a short walking distance of Windermere town centre which has a Booths and Sainsbury's. The Lakelovers team (SykesCottages) were very helpful and we would highly recommend this cottage.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Orrest Range.”

The cottage is beautifully furnished, very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We all slept so well in the wonderfully comfortable beds having enjoyed busy days exploring the area. It is a quick walk to Bowness and having access to the pool at Choices was a real bonus for us.

“Great accommodation and location.”

We had a really enjoyable time in Windermere and visiting the surrounding Lake District area. Would definitely recommend the cottage

“Lovely spacious cottage in a perfect location for a family.”

Everything was clean and of a high quality. Parking outside the property was easy, given how busy the lakes are normally, this was a big plus.

“The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for a family of 4.”

It's in a great location, to explore the great outdoors whilst being close to local amenities.

“We have stayed in many holiday cottages, many times in the lakes, and would suggest this the best yet for location, furnishings an general decor - the small back yard was perfect and secure for my grand daughter to play.”
