Fairview Reviews

Very well equipped. Really a home from home. Everything and more that you could need and very central. Will definitely book again and recommend to others. Fabulous accommodation.

Lovely apartment very close to bars, restaurants and bistros. The apartment was spotless and clean and had everything we required for our 7 night holiday. Thank you

Kathryn

The property never let's us down. Very comfortable and well equipped Great location

Barbara

We recently spent 4 fantastic nights at Fairview and have already recommended this lovely accommodation to family & friends.

We loved this well equipped. , well maintained and obviously well loved little flat. It was perfectly placed for all the shops and restaurants in the town, and we would love to come back there again in the future.

Beautiful apartment well equipped and very clean view of the lake shops and restaurants literally around the corner but still peaceful and quiet. We had an excellent stay at Fairview

Mike and Susan

Fairview is an immaculate and comfortable apartment, in a quiet yet great central location and benefits from an allocated parking space outside the property. We will definitely book again when returning to Ambleside.

Lovely property, nice homely and clean! Kitchen beautiful and beds super comfy. Parked up and walked everywhere all weekend such a central location Will absolutely be booking again for our next trip to Windermere

Great place and great location

Great place to stay very comfortable and great views

Steven

Property is perfect in every way. Location, facilities, and cleanliness are all first class. Everything you need is in the property and more. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

Lovely little flat ideally placed in the town for shops, restaurants etc. Well equipped and maintained and I formed a close bond with Alexa.

Great apartment, we usually stay in the one next door. Ideal location in Centre of Bowness. Perfect base for walking holiday or just relaxing around the Village. We will definitely book again.

The property is very well equipped and in a very good location for all that Bowness has to offer. The parking for the property needs allocating for each apartment as we had no parking available for the first two days that we were there and had to park on the lawn, and the one window in the main living room there is a huge gap which lets in a howling gail. Otherwise the flat has everything required for an excellent stay.

Andrew

The toaster is broken and trips the electrics. It needs replacing.

Graham

Very clean, tidy space with everything we needed for a short stay in Bowness. A lovely place, would recommend it and would happily stay again. Thank you.

This is the second time I have stayed at Fairview, the only holiday home I have booked twice. Great location, very clean and exceptionally well equipped, apart from no corkscrew

Stephen Harris

Great location for all the facilities of Bowness. The property could not be faulted. There is a bit of a climb to it which could be a slight problem for someone with limited mobility. Would definitely return.

Well equipped accommodation in a fantastic location. Highly recommended!

Perfect location in the centre of Bowness which is exactly what we wanted close to all shops, bars, eateries and the lake. The apartment had everything we needed and it was lovely and quiet, giving us the best of both worlds.

Andrew

Excellent short stay. Location perfect,comfy, cosy and clean. Couple of small things required to give it 5 star.Extra toilet roll, kitchen roll, hand wash and identification of the keys. Would be happy to stay here again.

The property was in good condition and really clean. Beds were comfy and bed linen and towels were good quality. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and tableware. There was only 1 toilet role provided for 4 adults 2 night stay, after searching the apartment to no avail we had to shop on our arrival for more. 4 pm check in and 10 am check out times limit what your are able to do on arrival and departure days and resulted in having to set an alarm clock to be up in time to shower and have breakfast and finish packing to vacate the apartment by 10 which isnt ideal when on a relaxing break.

Fantastic well maintained property, we enjoyed every minute of our stay, located well for everything and good parking for our car. Only one bad point, nobodies fault but the TV control for the lounge had been knicked and the bedroom TV was useless we could not get it working and neither could the man that came out to them. The dog was rather suprisingly well behaved, and slept in his crate on his own bedding. I definately will stay again and would reccomend it to anyone that requires information on the place

I was a single occupant, but it is an ideal property for four. Great location for walking, with a couple of interesting local walks, including Orrest Head for days when the legs are tired. Bowness is busy but very friendly. The property is airy, spacious and well equipped. I have been lucky enough to stay with Sykes a few times, but this is my favourite to date.

Michele

Very comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and perfect location. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay here again

Really nice property good location very steep wallop from street

Stuart

We had an excellent stay. The property was warm, cosy and well equipped. The location was also very good with the centre within a very short but quiet distance.

Lovely little apartment on the second floor of Kerris House first house on the left as you pull into the drive parking round the back with views of the lake and hills. Really handy for Bowness itself. Parking was easy and literally on the door step. Would gladly stay here again.

Carwyn

Excellent location and a very well equipped property, everything was nice, clean and fresh feeling, couldn't ask for more really.

The location was ideal for exploring the lakes. Shops and pubs where within easy walking distance. The kitchen had plenty of pans, cutlery and crockery but was lacking in cooking utensils, particularly sharp knives, With regards to cleaning it was disappointing to find an easy to see item t had been left on the floor and a plastic clip on a windowsill which we disposed of, also on moving the sofa to sit around the table we found the floor to be dusty underneath. In the bathroom hairs had been left in the bath. We all felt the property although generally clean would benefit from a deep clean including the communal areas. It would have made our stay easier if the 4 keys provide were labelled clearly to which door they unlocked.

Hannah

Lovely apartment that is going through some modernisation which is looking really good. It's also in a great location in bowness, would definitely go back. Only negative for me was there is a lack of utensils for cooking, no knives, spatulas etc which made things a little more difficult.

The property is lovely and an ideal location. The only criticism and it's a small one is that there are no sharp knives cooking and no tin opener or corkscrew that we could find, so if you're planning on cooking some meals you may need to bring some with you. If needed there is a cookware shop just on the main road.

Elaine

Apartment was lovely and cozy and well situated. A steep walk up to it caused some issues for my 83 year old dad but we managed. Well equipped but no bottle opener can opener or knives for prepping veg. Beds were very comfortable and we did thoroughly enjoy our stay.

This is our fifth visit to Fairview at this time of year and once again ... This is our fifth visit to Fairview at this time of year and once again thoroughly enjoyed our stay The apartment has everything you could possibly need and is in a superb position

Suzanne

Great property. Excellent location. Plenty to see and do for all the family. The perfect home from home.

Well positioned flat with easy parking. The flat was well stocked with kitchen equipment both large & small . The bedrooms were clean & comfortable with nice thick towels. The bath was very high to get into & out of the shower but it was powerful & hot. We couldnt fault anything and thoroughly enjoyed our stay .

Location is great the property was well equipped and very well presented could not fault anything

This was our 2nd time staying at Fairview. It was another great holiday. The flat is ideal. Perfect size, fabulous location and facilities were excellent.

Nicola

We love this flat as it is ideally located and comfy. This was our 3rd visit and we would go back again.
