The property was perfect for us, location and facilities excellent. Great communication throughout. Loved watching the ducks say good morning to us. We will absolutely be staying again.

Amelia

Our week family holiday has been so lovely. We have stayed at some of the other cottages on this estate before. Cherry cottage has been as perfect as all the others. We were contacted on the day of arrival to say we could check in early which was great. The cottage is spacious, cosy and family friendly. There are lots of added extras which make a lovely treat this includes Grasmere gingerbread, filter coffee and jam. Tea, coffee, sugar etc also provided and kitchen cleaning items so less to pack or buy on your holiday. The hot tub is so relaxing with beautiful woodland surroundings and visits from the local ducks. The wood stove burner is also great to use in the evenings if it gets a little cool. We loved that you can also order local produce via the cottage team and this year a visit from a pizza van that cooks you fresh sourdough pizzas onsite think this is only offered in the summer though. You can walk into Bowness village in about 25 minutes, just be mindful that some parts of the walk are on the road. Or you can get a taxi which varies in price from around 610. The estates team are really friendly and helpful. I would recommend this cottage and we will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Jennie

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage with our family. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. The amenities were excellent, making it really easy to settle in and feel at home. The whole place was spotlessly clean, which we really appreciated. A lovely base for a family getaway, we would definitely stay again!

Jo and other staff were very helpful and friendly. Clean and well stocked. Lovely location and outlook, ducklings were a bonus Excellent ginger cake, thank you

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cherry Cottage with the spacious lounge and kitchen diner and felt it very good value compared to other properties in the area. All parties were happy with their bedrooms and we were particularly impressed with the kitchen facilities. The children had great fun in the hot tub and the grassed area available to them. I am happy to recommend this property.

It was perfect thank you

Really lovely stay at Cherry Cottage. About a 20 minute walk into Bowness. Good amount of space for 2 families and hot tub a bonus.

Alison

The cottage was perfect. Great outdoor area, plenty of room inside. Great showers and nothing lacking in the kitchen. The only downside is the late checking and early check out. I appreciate the cleaning jobs needing to be done but also think it's a bit off asking holiday makers to strip the beds and make sure the dishwasher is emptied before leaving. How are we supposed to have breakfast , and DO chores, and leave by 10am . However, that said, it's a great cottage in a great location. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole week.

Lovely cottages Will recommend and use again Nice part of the lakes

Miranda

We had such a fantastic stay at Cherry Cottage. The house was extremely well equipped, clean and spacious and was perfect for a big group. Would highly recommend.

Jessica

Fantastic holiday! We stayed at Cherry Cottage which was so spacious, there was 7 of us and not once did it feel like that, even if we were all in the kitchen! Hot tub was lovely, even in the rain and the garden views were gorgeous. Beds super comfy, 3 bedrooms with an ensuite and 1 main bathroom upstairs with a toilet downstairs too. Huge living room and plenty of seats around the dining table for dinner and games. The virtual guide which was sent a week before check in was fantastic great idea and easy to use! Less than 5min drive to Bownessonwindermere. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The property was lovely and in an ideal location. Very beautiful scenery and peaceful. Only issue was that there was some mould in some rooms and the slip mat in downstairs bathroom also had mould on it. Good that all rooms had access to their own bathroom facilities. Loads of pans as and utensils to use in kitchen also. Beds were very comfy. Overall stay was lovely and would go again.

Angela

The cottage was lovely but needs more glasses there were no Tumblers only pint glasses and wine glasses. Also broken cheap plastic glasses for hot tub. Other cottages been to also have plastic wine glasses for safety reasons. Possible some more bowls only cereal bowls, needed desertsoup bowls aswell slightly larger BUT we had a great family holiday thank you Angela

Karen Anne

Beautiful cottage in landscaped grounds. Great to have a hot tub.

Malcolm

The only negative comment we have is that an air fryer would have been useful. In all other respects the cottage and facilities were wonderful.

Philip

Cottage was really good. Very clean and had everything you need for a self catering holiday.will use this cottage again. One thing they could do is put a roof over hot tub for bad weather. But i might be just be picky there.

This property is perfect! The location is amazing, only a 20 min walk from Bowness centre so easy to get to but in a quiet secluded place. The cottage itself was stunning. They even included washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The beds are all super comfy, the rooms spotless. A wide range of utensils and cookware in the kitchen and a fantastic lounge with speaker and smart TV. The hot tub was just an added benefit but a well received one! Stunning views out the back. Easy and simple check in and out. Very responsive hosts who even got the property ready early! Could not recommend anywhere more! Big groups or large families, this is the place to be! Lots of parking available too. You need to stay here!

The cleanliness of the house was disappointing, given that under the sofas and under the sofa cushions weren't hoovered and there was lots of dust and food crumbs. Also in top of the wardrobes there was a huge amount of dust. The dinning room table was covered in crumbs. Also the toaster is faulty and tripped the system several times, during our stay. The toilet seat in the rear en suite bathroom is broken. We had an issue with the bath plug which the grounds man fixed. Also we only ever had one key card it was the one left in the box we never found another card in the cottage. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely stay again.

Our group loved the setting and the quality of the accommodation. It was very quiet and the outlook was fantastic considering we were in such a tourist area. Close to the facilities of Bowness and Windermere and a walk right from the accommodation. We even got a call to advise we could check in earlier than 5pm which pleased us. Only criticism was our group all thought the duvets were too thin for the time of year weather with no option of adding a blanket or extra layers in the cottage. A throw was offered when requested but we had to ask. Otherwise we had a really good time and would consider returning especially if action was taken on our comments about extra bedding.

We had an issue with heating on first day, there were several faults which we reported and it was not as clean as we had expected it to be. Location and house size was excellent. Maintenance and cleanliness needs improvement

Everything was brilliant. No issues and a lovely property and location.

Third time staying at the cottages great as usual no issues at all will be back.

Well equipped cottage and perfect location. The property was clean and well looked after. We used the hot tub every evening, even when it rained. A fantastic holiday destination and we would be very happy to return to this cottage.

Only a few small gripes. Good location and handy for us as we were doing The Dales Way. Neighbours quiet. Wildlife right next to us was great. We would have liked a supply of rubbish bags. Only just enough loo rolls. It may be good to have the option of not having a hottub. Not everyone appreciates the cost of having them.

Malcolm

Great property, second time we have booked this cottage. Plenty of room and enough bedrooms for eight people. Cottage well equipped, kitchen great, staff excellent and very helpful. Hot tub went down well and kids enjoyed daily visit of resident ducks. Would recommend early booking as cottage very popular due to location and facilities.

Heather

This was a very well equipped and comfortable cottage. Unfortunately not all the guests could attend due to a bereavement and Covid so three of us were lucky to enjoy the facilities instead of seven. It is close to Bowness but a shame its not really possible to walk there as there is no walkwayfootpath, you really have to drive in. Its a great base for exploring the southern end of the lakes. Only thing to say is the directions for getting to the cottage could have been more precise, doesnt say which junction of the M6 and which A road to follow, not obvious if you dont know the area.

The property was perfect. The living space allowed us to be all together as a family and the view into the garden made us feel like we were in the lakes every moment of our trip! We loved it!

Kathleen

Beautiful clean modern cottage which was ideal for a large family party. The setting amongst the trees was very relaxing and the hot tub was a great hit with all the family. Would definitely recommend.

Nicola

Excellent, Wii definitely return

Andrea

We had an amazing family break at Cherry cottage! Everyone had their own space but we were all together under one roof. Beautiful views and wildlife. Ducks to feed in the morning which my granddaughter loved! The hot tub was a welcome treat after my husband had run in the Coniston 14 road race. I cant speak highly enough of the location and facilities of the cottage brilliant!

Amazing stay, beautiful property. Would love to come back!

This is our 4th time at The Oaks, we missed 2 years due to covid. It was amazing to be back. The cottages are in a beautiful location and so relaxing. We had a fantastic time as always. Can't wait to go back again next year.

We stayed with a group of friends and our first impressions were wow. The cottage was beautifully decorated, the beds were super comfy and although it was January the cottage was lovely and warm. This was particularly important when we had been out for the day. The bathrooms were all modern and the kitchen was kitted out to such a high standard, it had everything you could ever need and enough pots and pans for our party of 10. The hot tub made the week for us, just to be able to have a nice soak at the end of the day. The cottage is in beautiful countryside but only 20 minute walk from the centre of Bowness or a 5 taxi ride. The Sykes staff were amazing, so helpful and it was nice to know that they were on site if needed. Would definitely go back.

Suzanne

Absolutely loved the facilities, the cleanliness and location of the cottage, couldnt of asked for anything more! The only factor that impacted our experience was leaving day when you have to be out the cottage at 10 am prior to departure We knew we had to strip the beds etc but to then find we had to sort through the bed linen and towels splitting it all into bags of bed sheets, pillow cases, duvet cover, bath towels, leisure towels is an excessive ask it we had to get up at 0730 to make sure we had our breakfast washed and cleaned all the dishes and put them back in the cupboards as per the request and cleaned through and sorted the linen. Not what you want to be doing on the last day!

These cottages are exceptional well equipped very clean very modern excellent

Everything was excellent and to a high standard and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cherry Cottage, despite the wet weather even the property owners couldn't do anything about that ! ! but we made the most of every minute. The hot tub was a real treat. The property owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and we would have no hesitation returning again.

Tiffany

Had a brilliant time celebrating my husbands 50th with 6 friends, cottage was gorgeous and had all the facilities we needed for cosy nights in cooking, playing board games or spending time in the hot tub chilling. 5 minutes taxi ride to Bowness cost 5 between 8 of us so we could all enjoy a few drinks highly recommend.

Spacious, comfortable house for our 3 generation family holiday. Lovely outdoor area with space for the little ones to let of steam and a great hot tub to relax in. Quiet spot but only 5 mins drive into Bowness.

Lilibeth

We love the cottage its perfect for our family, It is spacious, clean and youve got everything you need. We will definitely come back.

Eunice

We had waited 2 years for this holiday to come to fruition and it was well worth waiting for. Accommodation was spotless, beautiful location, magnificent views. Staff excelled themselves in friendleyness and helpfulness, above and beyond expectations. We enjoyed it so much we've booked again for next year.
