So myself and our 2 friends stayed at this lovely little cottage in Windermere.
Our first impressions were quite awe inspiring...from when we left the road and drove into the drive way of the property, and saw the immense flint lined structure in front of us. We truly felt that we had arrived at our home from home from the first look. Time and dedication to the local landscape had clearly been taken from the front door step to the rustic garage doors, and the modernised double glazing windows that just blended in. If first opinions were not enough, we then entered the house, and was like kids in a sweetshop searching for what rooms we were going to set roost in for the week...all 3 of the rooms are spacious doubles, with the added benefit of a single bunk bed allowing to sleep up to 7 guests comfortably. Each of the rooms had their own en-Suite shower rooms, all refurbished to a high quality and standard. On top of this, there was a digital TV in each room, enough to allow every guest the freedom to watch what they preferred. By far the 2 most impressive rooms were the lounge, and the kitchen. The lounge was adorned with comfortable sofas, enough for families to snuggle up to, elegant lighting to allow the mood setting for any TV show, a quality soundbar on the TV which adds to the viewing pleasure, and good wifi that extended throughout the house.- The patio doors extended the size of the room onto the terrace area, enough space for a BBQ or a brunch setting in the warmer months. In my opinion, the room of the house is the kitchen...it is plenty big enough with a huge dining table, and all of the amenities you could need....and yes of course, another TV screen to watch the news while having breakfast. We used this room the most as we played our games on the table, the seating was so comfortable, and even in the snowy month of March, it was warm enough and cosy. The garage forms part of a wet access to the house, and has a boot change area leading to the kitchen. A great addition to reduce flow of muddy boots and paw prints through the house. The location of the house is circa. 8 mins walk to Windermere, and 14mins walk to Bowness...both little towns have beautiful shops and cafes, enough to keep everyone happy. My rating of this cottage is 5 stars...I cannot mark down for anything at all...it was clean, inviting and comfortable. Thanks so much to the hosts for having made this cottage available. It is clearly something they are very proud of, and I would definitely go back. Cannot recommend enough.

Lovely property with great views over the lake.
The photos do not do this place justice. We arrived in the dark met by a long , fully lit up driveway, which has plenty of room for multiple cars. It's difficult to appreciate the size of this property until you're in front of it. The hallway with gallery landing above has a real wow factor upon entry. After a few minute's I was torn between thinking this house needed the decor modernising and loving the charm of it all as it was. â¢Kitchen was very well equipped, very clean, with good quality appliances â¢The living room is huge, with fantastic views of the lake, comfortable seating and a smart TV. Fully adjustable lighting and a lovely fireplace â¢The light on the rear patio didn't work but was rarely needed with such a fantastic frint facing balcony â¢The bedrooms are spacious and the beds really comfortable. The wardrobes need updating but we're functional. â¢We only used the downstairs shower, which was fine so cannot comment on the other two. â¢The property was immaculately clean and the heating set perfect for our needs, always warm after we returned from walks and days out. The only real downside to this property is also the reason for its biggest plus. Its built on a hill, above bowness, and whilst its just a 10 minute walk from the centre, it is a very steep uphill walk. We used the steps on the far side of the property, which are far easier to manage than the driveway. The views are well worth the effort though. My family really enjoyed the week and we would stay again in a heartbeat.

When we arrived at the house, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not to an acceptable standard.
I had to scrub the outside of the kettle to remove dried on food and their was scale that had built up around the spout. (It needed a new kettle!) there was also dirty cutlery and cupboards/draws that clearly hadn't been checked and a warming draw with food debris in. There was also dog dirt on the patio area. The rest of the house, bathrooms and bedrooms was clean and the balcony had fantastic views and definitely was worth hiring the house for. We did make the owner aware of the cleanliness issue on the evening we arrived and later in the week he dropped us of a gift as an apology, however we never heard anything from Lakelovers and no one offered to come and clean the kitchen at any point. As we are in the middle of a pandemic, cleanliness has a higher priority than ever before, this was not a cheap holiday let, so we were very disappointed that we came across this issue. We were told we couldn't enter the property until 4pm due to the extra cleaning taking place but we arrived at 2pm and there was no sign of the cleaners, so it wasn't as if they ran out of time! There is also a branding issue as we booked under Lakelovers but when we tried to sign into our account we couldn't get in and were told we had to log into Sykes cottages website? This feedback email was sent by Lakelovers & yet the start of the feedback form says "Your Sykes Experience" That is really unprofessional, please sort your branding out so we as customers know who we are booking with!

We have just returned from staying at priory lodge for 7 nights, 6 of us including grandparents, 2 teenage girls and a 1yr old cockapoo .
The location was ideal and the private pathway and jetty was fantastic for our dog walks and the girls loved swimming in the lake, although the path is very steep back upto the cottage so our older guests only did it the once. I was very, very disappointed that the description did not mention that the garden/patio area was located at the front of the property and it was wrongly described as enclosed. There were several sections which our dog could have easily got through and the roads outside are unbelievably busy all day/ evening so unfortunately we could not sit outside and relax atall without her on a lead, you cannot even see the garden from the patio area so this was a massive issue for us. She did manage to push a side gate open and run through it, which we now know has a faulty latch on the other side, how we managed to grab her before running into the road I will never know. So anytime we were back at the cottage was spent inside unfortunately. The cottage itself was comfortable, the walls could have done with a lick of paint here and there but overall was ok. We would not stay again purely because of the garden situation which is a shame because all the other boxes were ticked.

Tanna Hill; is lovely it has everything you need for a comfortable stay the beds are super comfy.
Washing machine , dryer and fridge freezer are in the garage part. If like us you have dogs there is a small bit of grass to the side and back of the house for a quick toilet. At the top l/h corner is enough room to get through to a gate follow the path up to post tor for a great view and lots of room for your dogs to run around freely, The view from the front overlooking lake Windermere is fantastic and with ample seating if you get a nice day for sitting outside on the terrace its a lovely chilled out spot for a late evening. My only issue was with Sykes cottages. Their online massaging via email or Whatsapp is dreadful little to no response and the online form doesn't have a category for other. I eventually found a way to speak to someone using 01244356666 and then option 6 and you can speak directly to a human as the other options just gives you a recorded message and then cuts you off. I have booked with Sykes a few times and before this scheme was introduced I was able to use the number they had online so my advice change it back. Finally its on a steep hill and it will get your heart pumping but its worth it as you wont be disappointed would defo return.
