“The property desperately needs 2 new replacement sofas.”

They are very uncomfortable. It's our second time staying and we were hoping new sofa's would have been purchased since our first visit last year. Also, the addition of a side lamp would be a nice touch in the lounge area.

“We stayed here for 3 nights for my little girls birthday with my family and we absolutely loved it.”

The whole house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could need, there was 5 of us and our Labrador and there was so much space. Had a slight issue with the electrics in the game room but it was fixed for us asap, couldn’t have asked for better service. And the game room is a fab little touch and lovely at night to wind down with the family after a day out. Lovely and clean everywhere, even had a little welcome pack for the dog which was really cute. We wanted to stay longer! Will definitely be booking here again. Thankyou so much for our lovely stay!!

“Lovely property with immaculate facilities in a great location.”

The bed was very comfy and the shower always hot. The living space is a great space to chill out and the kitchen has all you need for making meals. We used the games room on a number of occasions which we really enjoyed.

Shaun December 2023

“Great property and position.”

We were 6 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us plus the dog. The games room is spot on, just a shame you have to go outside to get in but we were aware of that before we went and we still made good use the of the room. The property is a 10/15 walk uphill to Windermere and the same down hill to Bowness plus the bus stop being right outside was a big plus. Would definitely recommend and we would return. Thank you.

- Shaun, December 2023
Paula December 2023

Michelle November 2023

“The internet connection is poor, couldn't work on my laptop and couldn't use play back on the TV.”

Hadn't realised the games room was not accessible through the house, entry only from outside, which also meant the heating of the room was independent from the main house. You needed to plan to use the room and make sure it was warm before entry. Didn't have a key to access the seating area at the back but this didn't matter as it was too cold to sit outside. The property is lovely, well equipped but would benefit from a side table lamp somewhere in the lounge area. Also, the bedroom with the en-suite is very small, hardly any floor space and the sink in the en-suite is tiny, not big enough to clean your teeth in! After all said, we would book again because the location is perfect for us.

- Michelle, November 2023
Lisa November 2023

“Everything was perfect for our stay.”

We would definitely recommend this beautiful home, to anyone staying in the area. Everything has been thought of and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

R October 2023

“We had a really lovely stay at the property!”

We loved the layout and it has everything you need and the location is brilliant. The only slight downside was the cleanliness, eg there was a lot of dog hairs around but appreciate it is a dog friendly property. It wasn’t enough to put us off, we had a lovely stay.

- R, October 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not up to our usual standards. We would like to add that had we been made aware, we would have attended to resolve. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Janet August 2023

“Loved the property.”

Loved the location. Very comfortable beds and sofas and high quality fixtures and fittings. Bathrooms exceptional. Everything we needed apart from one small item - the rack from the grill pan which made grilling food difficult. Felt the cleaning was not the best. The floor in the kitchen/lounge had not been cleaned and the windows were dirty with hand prints and dog prints. This did not distract from an amazing vacation but wanted to highlight this. Games room amazing.

- Janet, August 2023
Nicola June 2023

“Absolutely loved our stay in Upper Sheriff Place.”

It was home from home and very spacious. Great location for exploring the Lakes. Hopeful to return in the future. Thank you for making our first time to the Lakes a wonderful one

- Nicola, June 2023
Paul June 2023

“The property has been beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, to a very high standard.”

The kitchen has everything you could need, the living space is comfortable and vast and the bedrooms are all of a good size with stunning bathrooms. The added use of the games room and small section of outside space is a fantastic addition. The location itself is perfect - only a 10-15 min walk to both Bowness and Windermere - meaning you have a host of bars, restaurants, shops and activities on your doorstep. We couldn't have asked for more. The first drawback was that the clean before our arrival left a lot to be desired. The upstairs bathroom didn't look like it had been cleaned thoroughly at all, with a dirty cloth left on the shower floor. The upstairs bins had not been emptied and were full of the previous visitor's rubbish. The living space was generally clean, but the washing machine was dirty inside and the place needed a "spring clean" to wash down wooden skirting boards etc. I would hope that this was a one-off. However, the biggest issue we had was the heat. Whilst we appreciate that The Lake District is not known for 30 degree temperatures, there had been feedback in the guest book for the need for fans for the top two bedrooms which get VERY hot and two extremely small (4 inch) fans had been provided. This was simply not good enough. The property direction means you get sun on the front windows from about 11am and all day long and the heat became unbearable. In the end, we had to purchase our own more substantial fans - which was disappointing given how well appointed the house was for everything else. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to stay again and had a fabulous holiday. Our only proviso would be that we bring our own fans next time!

- Paul, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you experienced with the cleanliness of the property. We will pass on your feedback to the cleaning team. We take your comments regarding the fans, on board. We hope that you would return again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Jill December 2022

“Loved Upper Sheriff's Place.”

Lots of space, lovely furnishings and lots of lovely little touches such as welcome hamper. Games room was fab. What really impressed us though was the service from Lakeland. We'd been booked into the downstairs property where, two days into our holiday, a pipe burst. I contacted the agency and within an hour they'd sent someone round to assess the situation. They honestly couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. That's why we ended up in the Upper Sheriff's apartment. And, of course, which we were delighted with. Full marks to Lakeland though for getting on top of the situation instantly and being so nice about it.

- Jill, December 2022

“Second time I’ve stayed at the property with family and will be back.”

The location is fantastic, the property itself is excellent and has everything you need. Didn’t use the games room as much this time around but that is a great addition also to chill out. Thanks, Robert

John September 2022

“We enjoyed our stay here , very clean and comfortable and well equipped.”

Lesley August 2022

“Wow - absolutely delighted with every aspect - the quality/style and small details made all the difference eg charger point at bedside, information booklet on how appliances work etc.”

The high spec and luxury made our stay just lovely. I have even ordered the bedding and a runner from the same company that you use. The games room was great for my son (19) and his friend. Also loved the welcome pack as did Oscar(yorkie). One of the best places I have ever rented and will be back soon. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking you will not be disappointed. Location is great also as you can walk 10mins either way to Bowness/Windermere and your own parking space. Bus stop right outside as well. But, I would recommend Windermere or Ambleside for restaurants as Bowness was full of pub chain restaurants that were not great (tried 2 and food below average). Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Lesley, August 2022

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back soon Property Owner
Steven July 2022

“Wow what an amazing property I don't know where to start, ideal location very quiet.”

Angus July 2022

“A really lovely holiday let in a great location - well furnished and nicely appointed throughout - had everything you required.”

Only slight negative was no outside space for a dog to use - but it was not essential and did not detract from a great break.

Sally December 2021

“The house was a bit dusty, especially under furniture and bedside table shelves.”

The crockery was chipped too and it would have been nice if Christmas decorations had been added due to the closeness of Christmas Day. No logs provided for an initial fire but the welcome hamper was a nice touch. Beautiful cottage/house & a good location for access to Windermere & Bowness. Please make it clear in the listing that the Games room is external and can not be accessed from the house.
