It was our first time using a rental property and I certainly set the bar high. We had a fantastic week, used the open top buses which stopped just at the end of the drive. It was well equipped, the beds were really comfortable as were the settees. We will definitely rebook as it was also local to many places. Our only comment and this is not a criticism, is that the wall light in the main bedroom did not work and the remote in the main bedroom, I presume needed new batteries. Finally, the property was well kept and very clean except under the rug in the living room. A beautiful property, fantastic views. Thank you

House was comfortable and well appointed. Beds were really comfortable and bed linens were very nice. Kitchen was well stocked with good quality appliances and crockery. The only disappointing points were the outside areas. The outside at the front was poorly maintained,dirty paintwork,dirty windows. The garden was poorly kept and the outside balcony was extremely rusty and shabby. For my elderly parents there were too many steps. The house on the outside seemed quite neglected. The other point to note was exiting the driveway onto the main road...this was quite dangerous as you couldn't see clearly the oncoming traffic to the right.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay, the accommodation was tip top. Plenty of space to park right outside the front door, a spectacular view from the living room across Windermere towards Langdale Pikes, good range of equipment in the kitchen although a microwave would be an excellent addition, and a very comfy bed. If you fancy a swim at Choices, you need to take a padlock for the locker and provide your own towels. Would happily stay here again, very quiet and yet minutes from restaurants, shops and the lake.

Lovely property, lovely location. Well stocked with crockery etc. Immaculate inside. The outside of the property doesn't reflect the inside. Patio needs a good scrub down. No instructions regarding recycling and bin collections.

Brilliant location and view out of the lounge and even deer in the garden! Although we didn't need it, because we barely ate in, a microwave would have been useful. The cottage was lovely and warm, without the fire, on what was generally a cold week. The beds were very comfortable.

A beautiful view across lake windermere and the hills beyond, a lovely pub across the road, good food available. Plenty to do with only a short drive or bus ride. Would certainly return

Lovely property, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great views and even saw the deer in the garden. We enjoyed the welcome box. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harrison Stickle. It was a spacious, comfortable house,with amazing views across to the lake. It was well equipped, with everything you could need. The welcome pack of milk, fresh coffee and fudge was much appreciated. It is very convenient for shops and the bus stop is at the end of the drive. The house itself is well set back from the road and very quiet. The only thing lacking was information specific to the property, eg local recommendations for restaurants,doctors,etc. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a lovely week here great location and great view of lake. Weve stayed here before and will book in future.

Harrison Stickle is Amazing. Definitely a home from home. It was very clean and tidy all rooms are large in size and spacious. Games, dvds dvd player available.The view of the lake and mountains fells from the balcony and bedrooms was out of this world. There was plenty of parking at the front of the property and a bus stop at the end of the driveway which was handy. You are only a couple of minutes walk away from shops and eating places. You are surrounded by wildlife too. The welcome gifts, flowers and card was very much appreciated. Thank you Rosamund and Bruce. Your property is perfect. It is a property you could keep coming back to. Katie and John xxxx

We dont usually return to the same property when booking cottage holidays but this was our second visit to Harrison Stickle as we loved the property and location so much. The weather was less kind this time but didnt stop us visiting Bowness and all of the other places we wanted to see locally and further afield. The convenience of a bus service outside the property is a bonus too. The hosts seem to consider every need in advance, making Harrison Stickle a very comfortable home from home. Highly recommended.

Wow what a location! Harrison Stickle is a comfortable and wellequipped property with incredible views from the living accommodation and balcony over a long terraced garden, across Lake Windermere to Wray Castle and the mountains beyond. We had a lovely relaxing week at Harrison Stickle and spent hours soaking up the wonderful view in peaceful surroundings a quiet sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Bowness and Windermere which were on the doorstep. The extra touches including fresh flowers and welcome basket added to the positive experience, thank you. Definitely a property to return to.

Amazing views from the balcony, the upside down layout is exactly what is needed with the views. Very clean, very comfy beds and everything you would need for a stay. All the added extras make it a great stay. Stayed twice now and will definitely be back.

This was our fourth visit to Harrison stickle and will not be our last. Great position for restaurants , pubs, shopping and walking . The coal fire is a great way to site and relax after a day out. The entry to the spa is a great thing to do on rainy day.

The location of this property is really great. Bus stop outside is so convenient, the bus to Penrith saved negotiating Kirkstone Pass by car,and we can recommend The George Hotel for lunch in Penrith. The hop on hop off open top bus is a lovely way of seeing the countryside. Opposite the property The Berresford serves delicious food and the early bird offer is excellent value. The house has lovely views. Only a very small niggle, would have liked bath sheets instead of double sized towels and there was no hair dryer.

We had a glorious week in May at Harrison Stickle, and loved our stay there. The cottage is absolutely immaculate and extremely comfortable. There is a busy main road leading to the bustling town of Bowness at the end of the driveway, yet the cottage itself was totally silent. The road from the edge of lake Windermere to the cottage has a steep incline but this did not trouble us although we are both in our 70's. Other reviews have stated that the view from the balcony and lounge is spectacular, but it certainly exceeded our expectations! The balcony has no area of shade and sadly it was too hot to sit there by the afternoon, and we would have loved a parosol of some sort. A very successful week in a fantastic cottage and we would certainly highly recommend it!

Splendid town, splendid house! I was able to get my needed getaway. We got much more than we expected! Already planning to come back sometime.

Prlem with the dishwasher as we reported this with lake lovers apart from this fantastic house and location

Harrison Stickle is a lovely house with suberb views over the lake. The house was lovely and clean when we arrived and fresh were put out in the lounge and bedroom

Very comfortable and well set out. Made the most of the absolutely amazing views. Really enjoyed our stay and would note parking was very good which isn't always the case

A really lovely clean property with a view money cant buy. Thanks for the welcome gift and especially the Xmas tree.

Lovely cottage Great location and views. Exceptionally well equipped

Lovely house in a great position to explore the area, amazing views across the lake and the fells. The house had everything you need to enjoy your holiday. We even had deer visit the garden. Handy for the shops and restaurants.

A great location, with a wonderful view of the Lake. Inside the property was lovely and comfortable. I enjoyed cooking in the very well equipped kitchen. I hope to revisit next year.

Fantastic place and location. It is clear care has been taken with quality of furnishings and decor with a nice eye for design elements. We loved it and had a lovely and relaxed stay. Will be back soon for sure! Thank you for the nice touch with the fresh flower arrangements from the stunning garden

Very well equipped property.

Had a lovely warm welcome from Rosamund, the owner. The house was extremely comfortable with modern conveniences and extremely comfortable beds! Was central to Bowness on Windermere but also a very quiet position considering how busy the town was a short distance away. Lastly the view of lake Windermere from the lounge, verandah and bedrooms was spectacular! A very enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harrison Stickle. The property was immaculately clean and very well kept. The photographs of the property and views, although inviting, do not do full justice to the actual experience. We have already recommended this property to friends and family. The location is perfect for local shops and restaurants as well as its proximity to the waterfront. If the walk home up the hill is daunting, there are regular bus services with stops outside the property itself. The facilities within HS are more than enough for a very comfortable and memorable stay. We decided the beds were the best weve ever slept in and the property the best we have rented in the Lake District. We found a broom outside which we used to brush puddles from the balcony so that we could enjoy as much time outside as possible. One highlight was opening the bedroom curtains to see a deer grazing on the lawn! I did leave comments for the lovely owner who we met on our arrival including a question about the location of the DVD player we found lots of films to watch but couldnt find the player! This certainly didnt affect our enjoyment and we would certainly stay again. We were a party of three and see the property is no longer available to be booked by four people which is a shame as we have friends who we would love to share this experience with and the property is certainly large enough.

2nd visit in 3 months. Fabulous property, stunning views, cant wait to visit again.

This was our fourth visit as we really like this property. It is very clean and we enjoy the gesture of small vases of flowers from the garden. The location is perfect for us as the views are wonderful and the house is close to all amenities. We feel very much relaxed and at home at Harrison Stickle.

We cant praise this cottage enough, it has everything. So convenient for buses, restaurants etc but quietly tucked away with spectacular views. This was our second visit and we would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, the cottage is beautiful and comfortable. We appreciated the little welcome package of tea, coffee, sugar and local fudge and mint cake, it was yummy! The site is perfectly situated for easy access to the local shops and restaurants as well as the jetty, whether you have a car or not it's easy to get around the whole lake. We particularly enjoyed a pub restaurant nearby called the 'Westmorland' for dog friendly pub grub, for a more upper class experience we'd recommend the Italian restaurant 'Trattoria' and the 'Urban Food House' and for a special quirky meal out try the 'Magic Roundabout'. We had mixed weather but the cottage was so nice we didn't mind spending time there when it was raining because of the fantastic views of the lake and the board games and jigsaws were a nice touch. Only minor criticisms were the balcony door was quite stiff and my old mum had some difficulty opening and shutting it. Also the balcony would benefit from having an awning covering from the rain as it builds up in puddles and we didn't want to tread wet stains on the nice carpet. It would also be nice to have a lock on the en suite bathroom too. Apart from those little things which were trivial it was an incredible stay and we'll definitely plan on booking again in the future. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic view from balcony, spacious, beautifully decorated and wellappointed property with very comfortable beds. We really appreciated the welcome pack, delicious cake and tea supplies to get started. Would love to stay again.

Beautiful comfortable home with spectacular views. Beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in. We appreciated the welcome extras of coffee milk biscuits and jam. Great location for exploring the Lake District. Easy parking. Just perfect we look forward to returning again to Harrison Stickle.

Absolutely stunning.

This is the second time we have stayed in this property. The location is perfect, the view at the back, stunning, the combination of open plan kitchen and living space is thoughtful and extremely comfortable. We loved the underfloor heating and fireplace and parking facilities and the extra gym membership a lovely bonus. We left you with some extra logs, fireflighter, smokless coal, some more dishwasher tablets and hopefully a well kept property! Thank you kindly.

A delightful property. The owners have thought of everything including a lovely welcome pack. Everything is bright, clean, modern but with the added bonus of an open fire. The views are spectacular and the bus stop one minute walk means you can ditch the car and explore Ambleside, Grassmere and Keswick. A good, reasonably priced restaurant opposite bus stop. What more could you want? An outstanding property.
