“Sunny Garth is a beautiful house, very spacious with everything that you need from a holiday home, the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is great and we found the wine /beer fridge a must, The garden is fabulous and well maintained, Also the location is great up the road to Windermere shops and down the hill into Bo’ness on Windermere.”

We had a problem with the downstairs toilet the push button broke, I called lakelovers and they had a maintenance guy over in half an hour , he was there for two hours as her couldn’t find the stop tap , so came back the next day and fixed it, he did a great job

“We have down graded this property because we complained about the cleanliness and you didn’t get back to us.”

- Karen, May 2022

I am very sorry to read you have not had any reply to your earlier feedback, because when I read your early comments, which I was very sad to see, I took them straight up with with Lakelovers who carry out all the cleaning of the property for us and I was assured that they immediately sorted out the problems to ensure that they do not happen again. I hope that my reply shows that your comments where acted on and I am sorry you found the problems. The Owner. Property Owner

“It was an excellent property and had everything we needed.”

The light system was a little confusing, but overall the accommodation was luxurious. We had a family get together with babies through to pensioners and everyone loved the house, brilliant location and lovely dog friendly garden.

“Beautiful holiday home in a central location for exploring Windermere & Bowness.”

Sunny Garth had everything our group needed for a comfortable and enjoyable weekend break. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay in this part of the lakes.

Lynne March 2022

“The house was beautiful and great size, much larger than the photos gave credit to.”

We didn’t like the confusing light switches and found a lot of the bulbs in the kitchen flicked a lot. The fire didn’t work in the lounge…we couldn’t switch it on. Also the lamps in the lounge didn’t work. The built-in coffee machine was also broken. Some of the cooking trays were dirty.

“Sunnygarth is a lovely property.”

It was very clean & comfortable & the xmas decorations were a nice touch. However, we did have a problem with the shower in the family bathroom, it was running cold. We had a plumber call out & he said the controls had corroded & he couldn't fix it, it needs a new shower. This is obviously not a new problem so should have been fixed months ago. That left only 1 shower in the property for us to use. Also the property needs another outside bin. We put it out to be emptied on the Thursday but it was half full again by the time we left.

“We had a fantastic stay, everything was amazing.”

Ideal location. Due to the weather the boat trips were cancelled so we decided to get the open top bus to Ambleside, definitely glad the boat was cancelled we had a guided and informative journey. We would definitely stay in this house again. Amazing

“This is the fourth time we have stayed in Sunnygarth, and love the house.”

However, it is beginning to need some refurbishment,due to wear and tear. We left a note for maintance, and hopefully the comments we made will be addressed. We would like to come back next year however the prices for 2022 have increased so much, this may be out of the question.

- Marion, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback after your recent stay at Sunnygarth. We are glad to hear you have loved the house and keep returning. We have taken your comments on board regarding the maintenance jobs and have arranged for these to be carried out on the next changeover. Hopefully we can welcome you back again in the future for a 5th trip. Kind regards, Property Owner
Steve July 2021

“Wonderful property in a great location.”

Kitchen utensils dated and require replacing ie chipped cups and plates, lack of sharp knives, serving bowls and chopping boards. Tended to stay in and cook own meals due to childrens ages. Went with grandchildren and maybe twin beds in one of the bedrooms would have been a bonus. Would certainly return to the property - this was our second stay and hopefully wont be our last.

- Steve, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mr Hadfield We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner. They have taken on board all the points you have raised and will replace all the kitchen items on their next inspection on Saturday. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Jamie October 2020

“The house was lovely and enjoyed the stay but the house was not cleaned properly.”

The hoover under the stairs was full to brim with dust so we emptied it to hoover the living room. The hoover was full to brim again after we had finished hoovering the one room. Which is quite disgusting. That was only one room. We did call lake lovers and explain the situation and that sent the cleaners back round to hoover again but they turned up with a herbie the hoover. In a dogs welcome place which is advertised as luxury you can’t clean the carpets with a herbie. Needs something abit stronger. That’s was our only complaint. We won’t book to stay at sunnygarth again because of this which is a shame.

- Jamie, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback Mr Thwaites. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now rectified. I understand Lakelovers housekeeping reattended as per your request and we have now purchased a new hoover which I am sure this will benefit our new and regular guests. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope this will help to regain your confidence in booking Sunnygarth in the future. Property Owner
