Town End Farmhouse Reviews

The cottage was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. There was a problem with one of the showers but this was well communicated before we arrived, by no means did it spoil our stay would highly recommend.

Stephen

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location . Could spend the rest of my life there.

Even nicer than it looked in the photos! Very clean and comfortable, tidy and well organised.

A lovely week away. If like us you want peace and quiet then this is the place to stay Beds were comfy.Garden was lovely although it wasn't as big as it looked in pictures but didnt put us off. Location was perfect. Probably the only thing id say there wasn't much space to put food away,there was 3 drawers full of cutlery etc. 2 cupboards filled with plates which really wasn't needed. But you had everything you could ever need. We would def come back

Lillias

We had a lovely stay at Town End Farmhouse, it was very comfortable and clean, the house had everything you would need for a home from home, I was very happy to find the whirley clothes line , it makes such a difference being able to dry all the wet clothes after a day on the lakes. I would recommend this holiday home 100.

Fantastic stay. Lovely and the area is just amazing

Andrew

Perfect on all levels! We all had a fantastic week that we made the most of in the mixed weather conditions there in the south lakes. Just to inform, we would however have also used the nicer outdoor seats in the barn, but they were locked up. This is not a slight on a fantastic stay though. We were very appreciate of the firewood supplied too and when we called you, the sincere concern and help when the downstairs shower failed, enabling us to rapidly remedy the situation. Thankyou.

Wonderful rural location. Lovely walks close by. Property was spolessly clean and very well equipped. Thank you.

Mandeep Singh

The cottage had a lot of character and we felt very much at home there. The setting was beautiful and picturesque. The kitchen was well stocked which made staying in an easy option. It felt peaceful, serene, and safe with young children. The layout worked well and the number of games provided was great. The cottage was nice and clean on arrival which was a lovely welcome. I would have expected other areas of the cottage to have been as equally as well stocked as the kitchen. It was a little disappointing to have to plan a shopping trip for household essentials within the first few days of being there as it was clear there wasnt enough toilet roll or hand wash to last the week. It was useful having a washing machine, however, it would have been even more useful if detergent was also provided. Also, we werent able to locate any spare linen or towels. I would have expected to have at least a change of towels available for a week long stay. The showers were disappointing. The temperature on the upstairs shower was very temperamental and the flow of water on the downstairs share was merely a drizzle some days. Overall, we had a comfortable stay.

We had problems with both showers during our visit which we flagged up to Sykes, who didnt really respond with anything useful other than turn them off and on again The showers are really old and need upgrading.

Louise

We love this cottage. This was our 3rd stay at Town End and it never disappoints. Ideally situated to explore the South Lakes. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the bedrooms are all a good size and comfortable. Lovely garden to sit out in, if you dont mind sharing it with the occasional sheep! We will definitely be returning.

Amanda

Town End house we loved everything and thank you for making it so comfortable for our holiday. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable and the garden big enough to play ball. We used the tree in the middle of the garden for shade with the picnic blanket. We loved the garden, the views and all the Countryside in the area. It was ideal for 5 adults and 8 and 4 year old and we did hiking everyday

Kathryn

We had a brilliant stay at Town End, and found it nicely homely, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. Immaculately clean, too. The kitchen was especially well equipped and organised, which is always nice to walk into for self catering. The lounge and dining room were plenty big enough for our three generation group, and comfy. We used three of the four bedrooms the one we didn't need is a twin that sits close to the top of the stairs, with a step down itself, so more for older children up. A stair gate would be a comfort, but because the other bedrooms are set back away from the staircase we actually found it okay for our young child. The garden patio is a bit up and down with various steps so needed a careful eye on my little one as well but it was a lovely place to sit out in the sun after a day out, very peaceful and not overlooked. We didn't use the wood burner, but I think it would be lovely and cosy in cooler weather. We used it as a base for exploring the local area and the route around Lake Windermere is easily accessed, plus various very local attractions that were only a short trip away. As we left, we crossed the railway bridge and then drove alongside the steam train.

We loved our stay at Town End Farmhouse! The property was spotless on arrival and wellequipped throughout. Its situated in a peaceful location, with the only sound being the cockerels over the road! However this does mean needing to drive to access shops etc. David was easily contactable and responsive when we discovered a wasp nest in the roof. Beautiful garden, comfortable beds, good wifi and adequate offroad parking.

Pamela

We had a lovely stay at Townend and vote for the tree to stay for the resident Robin. Was very clean and comfortable with more than we anticipated, and a lovely peaceful garden.We would definitely recommend the cottage to others. If there were considerations for improvements we would just mention the showers could be upgraded the water went from cold to very hot with no adjustment thinking of children and a new hoover as it has seen better days and some parts missing.

Rebecca

This property is unreal. It is facilitated with everything you could ask for and it is absolutely to the spec detailed. My only thing, to request, is to remove the tree in the middle of the garden. One guest walked into it and cut all his nose and the other was kicking a ball and ran into it and nearly knocked himself out. I believe it is partly dead anyway, so maybe something that could be looked at in the future. But I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the lakes for a week or so.

Jasmine

Lovely spacious property with a pretty garden. The property is also very private and has great facilities including board games and plenty of firewood. Only gripe would be the uneven, lumpy floors but I suppose this cant be helped in a super old house. Overall, its perfect for a large group and I would definitely stay here again!

We loved the cottage it was very clean and adequate for our family. Lovely garden but we couldnt take full advantage of it as the owner had not put the garden furniture out and left it locked up in the outside so we could not put it out ourselves.

Andrew

Another awesome stay at Town End Farmhouse. This is the second time we have stayed and it was a s good as we remembered. The cottage is a great size for our extended family and the garden is a lovely space for relaxing in the sun. The location is also great to visit all the surrounding sites, and also ideal location for getting to the Steamer. Will definitely look to return again in the future

What a lovely place to spend a week. A wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting. We were intrigued by the Cambridge connection, and loved reading the notes in the folder and the visitors book. The kitchen was particularly well equipped. Just be aware if you do an online shop before arrival that there is just an icebox and a small freezer compartment. We look forward to coming again.

Claire

Town end farmhouse was lovely Water pressure was a little low in showers but apart for this it was perfect for our family holiday .

Joanna

Had a fantastic week at Town End Farmhouse. Lots of space, lovely and clean and heating was great! Comfy beds, soft towels and everything we needed in the kitchen. Beautiful views and so much to do. Cant wait to come back! Note to self take your own toilet roll and soap!

Absolutely lovely house and rural location. property was very clean, comfy beds, lots of walks nearby. However be warned we stayed there at the end of November and had a powercut which lasted the entirety of our stay this meant no heating, no showering as no hot water and no ability to cook or make hot drinks. Sykes offered us nothing to compensate for this.. not even a minor refund or voucher, despite it being a major inconvenience and not what we signed up for! apparently their terms and conditions don't cover events out of their control. Just something to bare in mind if you book a trip with them, the customer care is just terrible.

Michael

Great place

Lovely property with atmosphere nice walks out of the way just liked we wanted but within half hour drive of BownessWindermere.

Town End Farmhouse is an excellent property in a beautiful location. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Information provided by the owner was comprehensive and useful, helping make out stay very enjoyable. Very much appreciated the wood store so we could have a fire in the evenings.

The house was comfortable. It's well situated in a good location for a number of activities. The beds were comfy. The midsize garden was very nice. The owner was very pleasant, answering queries via email. We found were that the place wasn't particularly clean, especially the kitchen. Only one binbag was provided. There seemed to be a problem with the water pressure Often we'd turn a tap and no water would come out of the utility room and downstairs bathroom. The heating was unusual and difficult to get right. However, overall, the cottage is nice 'oldy worldy' oakbeam kind of place and well placed for a good holiday.

We had a fantastic holiday, helped by the amazing weather, which meant we could eat outside in the lovely garden every day. I was delighted by how quiet this spot is, as I had worried about the road, but it is rarely used. We enjoyed so many great walks straight from the house as well as trips to lots of lovely villages and National Trust properties. The second room with double bed was a bit small with no wardrobe and the cushions and bean bags need an upgrade, but these are very small things. Overall a nice cottage in a super location.

Kieran

Beautiful cottage, well equipped, lovely location, very warm and cosy would love to return! Immaculately clean, comfy beds. Very pleased. Possible improvements a map of the local area showing the walks described in the welcome book which are not the best signed when you get out there and a thicker oven mitt.

Tracey

Lovely old farmhouse with plenty of room for 8 people . It was nice having the extra room where adults could relax away from children or vice versa. The best equipped cottage I have ever been in . There are a few little things that need updating in the visitor information and instructions for the Vax etc would be helpful . We had a great time despite some awful weather.

Sharron

The cottage was well equipped with all that we needed for our stay. We all had a very relaxing time including the children who enjoyed the garden. It was just what my family needed after such a difficult year. The one thing that would have been great for us, would be more time to spend there

Victoria

Really lovely and very well equipped house in a beautiful location. It was a fantastic setting for a family holiday with four adults and four children.

Pauline

Hot water tap in shower room not working

Town End Farmhouse was superb. great location, ideal size and clean. The amenities were all to a high standard with everything we could of asked for. I would recommend this property to friends and family. The booking process was easy and with a good level of notifications on holiday status.

The cottage was bigger than expected and very well equipped, all in a stunning location.

We had a brilliant weekend at Town End Farmhouse. It is very well equipped, comfy, clean and had a lovely garden space also very peaceful. Would recommend for large groups as its very spacious with ample parking space. Look forward to staying again..

Town End Farmhouse is a great holiday cottage in a beautiful area, it was very comfortable and had everything that we needed for a lovely family break in the Lake District. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily stay here again.

Found the kitchen to be very well equipped and the place comfy. The disappointment really was 10am depart. Made the last morning a bit hectic particularly with young children to get sorted. Just an extra hour would have been great. That would have given us time to reflect on the good time we had spent together. As it was we all just departed, shame really.
