Langdale View, Windermere

A lovely property which provided a good base for the weekend. On arrival the house smelt quite musty. Thankfully this smell seemed to be just on the ground floor. Therefore obviously areas of the house tgat need some tlc but it was clean. A folder with where to find things and general house information would have been helpful there were lots of cupboards to check! We could have done with more cutlery & wine glasses and we couldn't get the tumble dryer working which was a nuisance with having wet swimming towels. A washing line would have been useful. All in all, though, this was a good place to stay.

Very clean & comfortable. Appreciated products for washing up, dishwasher etc. Fridge freezer has a leak & carpet was wet .It smelt very fusty so wasn't a recent leak. Windows upstairs in bad need of painting. House overall smelt slightly fusty . A lovely spacious property in a beautiful location. Loved the top floor sitting room for the views but what a soorry state the balcony is in. Was afraid to stand on balcony as floor looked old & weak. This could be an amazing property with some tlc. Great for families.

Lovely comfortable stay in a big spacious housebut it definitely needs some TLC. The knives in the kitchen were very blunt, there was a BBQ but the previous user had not cleaned it and it was filthy. Shower in main bedroom was good, nice and hot but in the twin room and main bathroom it was a bit hit and miss. Not really suitable for anything but a small dog, only outdoor space was a patio, no grass. However it was very comfortable and the bedding clean and crisp. Great location and amazing views from loft room. It just needs some upgrading and TLC. We would stay again.

We had a good stay at Langdale View! Good things Rooms were all spacious and bedrooms and en suites were fab. Cleanliness was great. Kitchen, although small was well equipped. Comfortable beds and furniture. Lovely views from all bedrooms no views at all downstairs. Only a 1015 minute walk to the main road and a bus stop which was very handy. Pet friendly, courtyard garden so no grass and no where close by to let the dog roam though but this was fine by us as we were out everyday exploring anyway. Not so good things The feel to the property is that it is a little tired, the general maintenance just needs some TLC. Lots of lightbulbs not working. Shower above the bath in the twin room still doesnt work despite this being mentioned on previous reviews from other guests. Tv the sky box doesnt work and there is no aerial connection so it only runs through the internet which is fine if you like bbc iPlayer logged in by owners we assume? or if you are able to log in to other apps then that would work but no proper tv to watch of an evening, just some very strange channels available and the sky box is just there for show. BBQ despite it saying there was fuel available the bag was empty when we looked. The sofa in the room right at the top is only a childs sofa, not that it mattered to us but just incase anyone is likely to use it because it was not advertised that way. We had issues with hot water for showers too. We enjoyed our stay at Langdale View and would recommend it to others despite the niggles and we are only being picky as we paid a lot of money to stay here and hopefully the feedback is useful to the owners and prospective guests. Thankyou Langdale View for some lovely memories!

Lovely property in a great location. Would definitely recommend. The rooms were large and all with ensuite bathrooms. Great views. My only other feedback would be some small improvements to the cooking facilities. The kitchen knives were blunt making preparing meals a little tricky. Could do with plasticwooden chopping boards, rather than glass, and the frying pan could do with replacing. Minor niggles really. I'd definitely book to stay again.

Beautiful house and views over the hills and neighbours garden. House a little tired but it didnt make any difference to our stay. Would thoroughly recommend this home for a break.

Langdale View. A very good location for a quiet and peaceful stay with lots of lovely nearby places to visit and explore Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and so much more. The next comments are not complaints but as regular travellers we hope they will help for future guests. The owners are very prompt and helpful with any issues. Recommendations Message boards in hall need updating especially phone numbers No instruction booklet in lounge for heating, hot water, etc. The shower in the room with bath we could not get hot. The door from lounge to patio unable to open. Object a little to having to strip beds on leaving surely a covid thing. Thanks for a pleasant stay Blewett family.

We really enjoyed our stay and thought it was fantastic value location.

House is in need of a period of maintenance to get all windows repaired and repainted. Would benefit from having the entire ground floor laid with laminate rather than the carpet which is suffering age related issues. Would also benefit from having the duvets replaced as they had lots of staining on them. A great position just outside of Windermere and very peaceful

Had a lovely 2 night stay at Langdale View 24th26th July. House was fully equipped for 8 people. We liked the open plan style in living room, dining room and kitchen with window seats. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean with nice white bedding and towels. Lots of quirky features. Outdoor area is small but private. It's about 30 min walk with a 5yr old into Windermere town which has shops, bars and plenty of places to eat.

It's a really great property but needs a little bit of TLC. Some of the grouting in the bathrooms needs refreshing as it is starting to go a bit mouldy, the bathroom door handle in the top room was coming off and a hand towel in the downstairs toilet would be useful. The facilities were ideal for us though and we enjoyed our stay.

This was a great place to stay with plenty of space for 7 people and a dog. A good location for Windermere and Ambleside, space for parking two cars. The house was clean and warm and plenty of hot water for showers. There was outdoor space although it was a little too cold and wet to enjoy it. The kitchen was small but well equippedjust in need of a new tin opener! We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

We had a fantastic stay at Langdale View, it was very clean and comfortable and had everything needed for 8 people. Although it says only parking for 2 cars, we had 6 and had no problem parking them all just have to be respectful of the neighbours. We found the property very easily going off the instructions sent to us and if anyone in future needs a taxi, Windermere taxis were great and found us with no problems. Only thing I would say is that the sky box needs updating, it wasnt an issue for us as we were out a lot but if the weather had been bad we may have stayed in more. Other than that no issues at all and would definitely stay again

We have returned to this property for the 4th time to use over a new year break. It is ideal for us with the set up of roomsbathrooms. However it is a little tired in places and a few things need to be addressed. The bins were full on arrival and so difficult for our wasterecycling to be put out. All dining chairs are rickety and could do with some tlc to be more stable. The main fridge,were told not to adjust but food was getting frozen. Master suite extractor fan not working and so excess condensation

Had a lovely holiday . Slight difficulty finding the place as there's a small sign showing hilltop but not langdale view. That would be helpful. Although the place was tired looking the inside was very clean and comfortable. Bed linen and towels 5 Well equipped kitchen , maybe a 4 sliced toaster. Very minor thing. Washer dryer available if needed. Iron and ironing board. Also a hairdryer available. Tv sky needs updating keeps showing messages about HD. Lovely and quiet, beautiful scenery. Although now unable to walk to lake as it's all private properties. Overall had a lovely holiday, would recommend it. Certainly ideal for a large group.

A great property for 2 families and 1 dog. It's a bit tired and needs a bit of maintenance. But rental price reflects that as its very good value. Very comfortable beds, fully equipped with everything that was stated on the booking site. Bins were overflowing when we arrived, could have provided a few spare bin bags and a few extra toilet rolls and some cleaning cloths. So bring these along with you Garden could do with being more dog friendly, especially in a dog friendly property. Not enclosed at all , small stone walls that she easily could jump over. Our dog was kept on the lead when outside as lots of rabbits. Otherwise can't fault it. Views were stunning and everything was clean and kitchen was stacked with utensils, pans and cooking equipment. I've only marked the house slightly down due lack of general maintenance and the garden. Only thing you could do is provide a recycling bin for plastic waste. Sadly No acces to windermere or the bench on the latest picture .Thank you for a lovely stay. We Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Langdale. The house could benefit from a number in the door as it was not obvious that it was a front door it looked like a door to the next door property. The kitchen is small but we managed to cook for 8 numerous times. Shower in the twin bedroom could do with resealing as there is mould around it. The bins were full when we got there so we struggled with our rubbish, there was nowhere to put cans for recycling and when the bin men did come they only emptied the glass recycling box. Beds were Al comfortable with new pillows. The area is beautiful but you do need to get in the car as nowhere is really within walking distance. The house was very spacious and comfortable and we had a fab time.

We had a lovely stay at langdale view. It was very clean, comfy beds, a small but adequate kitchen with some new equipment. A short walk into Windermere via the main roads is not a problem. The neighbours are lovely and gave sound advice on the area. Its a quiet & peaceful spot. External paintwork needs addressing, and I guess in time the owner will do this, a small chair and some towel hooks in the attic bedroom would be helpful but did not impact our stay. Would have no problem going back.

I'm sorry to say for the first time since renting a Sykes property I am sad that for the money I paid 1500 for one week I was disappointed. The property is desperately in need of TLC both inside and out. Flaking paint on the inside and outside of the windows did not create a good first impression.The inside of the house needs the walls painting. There were no bbq packs in the basket and the bbq itself was broken. I am honestly trying to find something positive to say and I am sorry for that, but the views from the bedroom windows were brilliant. To ask for a good housekeeping bond was I thought rather cheeky. This was meant to be a family treat for a special anniversary .

Whilst the property was nice enough the listing says it is a short stroll to Lake Windermere, however you cant actually get to the lake as there are private properties all around the area blocking you from doing so. The property is NOT dog friendly, there is a small paved yard and although there is a lovely field and wood next to the house where it would have been pleasant to take the dog first thing or in the evening you are totally forbidden to do so thereby you have to drive some distance every time to take dog for a walk. There are lovely views in the distance of the mountain tops but immediate view is of trees no visibility of the lake which was a shame. On the ground floor and in the yard area there is no view what so ever just a mass of tall shrubs which as they grow may in time block view from upper windows too. Bathrooms have been updated but rest of house is pretty tired but comfortable enough. Sofa vey nice. Beds comfortable. Some cooking utensils could do with replacing and pans needed a good wash so didnt use them. Good base for the lakes but wouldnt go back to this property Im afraid.

We had a lovely time and enjoyed the amazing views. Thanks a lot for sharing your lovely place

Thank you for Christmas tree. Lovely and warm house One of twin bedrooms mattresses, one with bath, not very comfortable. Leak in downstairs toilet, reported. Also water on floor in cloakroom not sure of source but did dry up. One dining room chair had a bolt missing that supported a leg.

Spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Beautiful and quiet location except for hearing next door practice piano and singing which we thought was lovely The house needs some TLC its tired and needs better maintenance that didnt effect our stay, we had a lovely time but its overpriced. Showers are amazing. Only real gripe was the kitchenIts far too small for the size of house and its underresourced. I had to buy a large frying pancooks pan as well as a fish slicespatula. There were just 3 of us staying here and even that was stressful cooking in a kitchen so small on a 4 ring hob, tiny oven. All the more reason to eat out though!

The house was very spacious apart from the kitchen. It is in a very good position for exploring the lakes, close to Bowness and yet secluded. The large amount of fridge and freezer space meant that we didn't need to spend our week shopping. Some minor irritations It lacked any means of making filter coffee and all the knives in the kitchen were blunt.

Thank you for the use of your property. We had a good stay and appreciated the accommodation of 2 dogs rather than one. We did find a few things that we feel you should address the most important ones being that the 2nd bedroom shower leaks through to the doorway into the dining room, and the outside table is rotten in places and very unstable. My 89 year old mother lent on it for balance and it gave way as the leg seemed to be very loose. Other little things like the up to date leaflets some dated 2013 and information about the property and the setting walks etc would have been appreciated.

This is a large comfortable house with paved exterior garden. The ensuite bathrooms were well decorated although the bath had a few dead flies in it. A little tired in general decor but generally very comfortable and good facilities included.

Advert says short stroll to Lake. All gated off so no access to the lake. Also short stroll into Windermere, its a 40mins walk. Property was very basic and dated, but clean rooms. The price does not reflect standard in any way. Kitchen tiny for 8 people house. Patio gets no sun due to 30ft bushes. Patio furniture old and in need of replacement. Dining Chairs where old and broken not safe really. Main window pane seal has gone, looks scruffy.

The property is situated near many visiting points. I wish more care had been taken with the outside as the first impression was very disappointing, the house looked very run down. On entry to the house it was clean, but the windows could have done with a clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, plates, cooking equipment etc. The bedrooms were in good condition and the view from the windows was wonderful. Every room has an en suite which was really handy. I would highly recommend you take your own duvets as on the last day when we were asked to take off bed linen we discovered dirty, yellow, blood stained duvets. Considering this holiday rental wasnt cheap that was totally unexpected.

The position of the property is fantastic. Disappointing entrance to property looked unkempt. The general overall presentation of the property was disappointing lack of lamps and bright stark lighting in the property, dirty front window in lounge and outside seating area hadn't been cleaned or arranged. This gave an impression of a holiday let that has been neglected by the owner. Windows upstairs rotting.It was an expensive holiday let we would have thought the interior would have reflected the rent.

Amazing view, quiet central location, loads of space so a great cottage. Perfect room for drying gear right opposite the front door.

Great stay in the perfect location! Huge space, stunning views and very clean.

Lovely house, clean and tidy. Kitchen a little small for the number of guests but plenty of other living space and the bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Fab views.

We had a lovely break at Langdale view. The house was very clean,extremely spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely return.

Arrived on Friday with a group of friends had just finished eating and having a lovely time when Storm Arwen arrived knocking out all the electric in the area and Bowness. Luckily we had taken tourches as advised on booking form, the lady next door gave us matches so we could light the gas stove so able to have hot drinks and get a wash. Left on Sunday morning the power was not back on but we were fine, used our duvets to keep us warm and played games by candle light on the Saturday evening. The property was perfect in every way, bedrooms, ensites, and views were amazing. Would recommend for any time of the year and would certainly book again.

A very comfortable well equipped cottage, however a very small kitchen which made food preparation a struggle. The only real downside we experienced was a full bin on our arrival which meant we had to take our own waste to the local recycling centre.25 minute walk to the centre of Windermere but well placed for access to the rest of the lakes by car.

The house failed to meet expectations for one very specific reason its was not dog friendly as described. The listing said you could get to the lake in under 5 minutes and that was not true. It may be that land that was originally accessible is now in private hands, but that doesnt change the fact that everywhere you could walk to from the house was private, with no access for dog walking and definitely no access to the lake. All the surrounding land is private and the neighbours were very clear that the dog was not to be allowed access to the surrounding woods. There is a small paved yard to let the dog into but our dog will only go to the toilet on grass which was only possible with a significant walk along roads or getting in the car which we resorted to most days. The extractor fan only worked in one bathroom not great when there are no windows, but other than that the house was great, large, amazing views from the upper rooms, clean and well appointed.

The house was comfortable and well equipped the showers were great ! although no welcome pack and very few instructions on how to work anything. Also, there is no canal access from the lane and you have to park in front of the gap where the garages used to be so maybe the details could be updated. It was very peaceful and the views from upstairs were beautiful.

When we arrived at the cottage, we were a little disappointed with the approach. The write up said a short walk to the lake and town but the cottage is a fair distance from Windermere up a long, steep unlit road. My mother, who is 80 wasnt able to go out for a walk, driving was the only choice for her. The inside of the house was fabulous. A great space for all the family and the bathrooms were lovely. The views from the windows were breathtaking but the trees really do need cutting back to appreciate it and to use the garden space. We brought our own wii console for the evenings to play games which was good as the tv reception was poor. The attic room had a lot of wasps on a daily basis, especially in the bathroom due to the nest in the gutter. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this large property.
