An excellent Christmas holiday. The property is in a lovely location, well maintained and decorated beautifully for Christmas. A superb hamper was left for us along with gifts under the tree for all the family. The owner had checked ages of our grandchildren prior to our arrival and chosen suitable gifts for all. We all felt very relaxed and comfortable at Lakeside View from the outset. Easy walks to Lakeside and to Newby Bridge. Thank you to the owners for such a pleasant stay.

Enjoyed our 3 nights stay at the lakeside view, everything was good and felt right.

We had a lovely week at Lakeside View. It is in a beautiful wooded, lakeside area with beautifully maintained gardens and easy access to the Lake. We were warm cosy and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had most things we needed. It was lovely to hear and see, glimpses of the steam train as it chugged by. Care and attention to detail is obvious throughout the house including books and games for cosy evenings indoors. We would definitely return to this property as there are may places to visit nearby and lots of things to do.

Lakeside holiday cottage was just wonderful and the grounds were second to non, The setting is stunning and everything you would need and more is in this beautiful home. The owner Janet really cares about her property and your enjoyment while staying there. The lovely gift bag full of goodies including a beautiful candle were very gratefully accepted. Thank you Janet and Sykes for a fantastic stay. Highly recommended.

The best accomodation we have ever stayed in set in beautiful grounds and in excellent order all round. We would certainly recommend staying here.

Wonderful place, very comfortable and immaculate, with lovely decor and good quality furnishings, bedding exceptional . Slight discrepancy with the photographs to the reality ie the jetty and picnic table at the lake were not in the same place together. Other than that a magical place, beautiful grounds, very comfy and well appointed house. Provides unique close access to the lakes and boats and also the steam train directly from the grounds. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely homely property in a very quiet location. Excellent facilities including a Ninja which was a real bonus and saved lots of time cooking. The bag of goodies very much appreciated, as where the herbs, condiments, oil, tea and coffee. Very comfortable stay and handy for Lakeside hotel in one direction and Swan at Newby Bridge in the other.

What a gem of a property in a stunning setting. The cottage is spacious and tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and lovely top quality bed linen. The garden was perfect for our grandchildren to chase about and play safely and though communal, we had it to ourselves all weekend. The views were spectacular and it was lovely to see and hear the steam train pass a few times a day. Access to the lake from a sheltered bay was a bonus and there was a picnic table too! The host, Janet, was friendly and helpful and answered our queries promptly. There was a lovely welcome gift bag containing wine, biscuits, milk and a luxury candle! The property is within a comfortable walking distance of The Lakeside Hotel and The Swan at Newby Bridge, along peaceful trails. We had a truly wonderful stay and would not hesitate to recommend. We will certainly return.

Fantastic cottage. Very comfortable and clean. Great facilities. The position of the cottage is perfect for the steam train, boat to Ambleside and walk to the pub. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for the biscuits and milk!

Absolutely gorgeous house and settings,loved it and would recommend it to anyone

I cannot recommend this enough. We have stayed here twice. It is so well equipped, it feels like a home as soon as you get there. The house and grounds are amazing, with direct access to Lake Windermere to swim and take canoes out. It is gorgeous and you do not want to leave. Endless walks to go on and boat trips to Bowness and Ambleside. Owner leaves an amazing welcome bag too. Janet, very kindly went above and beyond to send us our walking sticks back home to us, which we had left behind had since walks during covid days with lots of sentimental value The only thing I can possibly think of that could be an improvement would be to have more pint size glasses available and I cannot think of anything else at all. It is wonderful in every way. If I could live there, I would!

A very well presented property with everything you can think of provided. It is in a very quiet complex with a beautiful large lawn available. It is about a 250m walk to get into the lake. We kept our paddle boards in the garage and used them without having to pack them away. It is about a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk to the nearest shop and it's about 15 minutes to large supermarkets in Ulverston. There is only 1 shower which is in the main bedroom en suite but there is a separate bath.

Lakeside View cottage was beautiful and catered for our every need in an idyllic setting. The welcome pack the best we have received, thank you and the candle a lovely touch. It is perfectly located for all local amenities and day trips, the local pub serves excellent food in a lovely setting, we would love to return.

Cosy property in idealic surroundings spacious and homely.

Beautiful location, very comfortable house and well equipped kitchen.

Absolutely fantastic stay and perfect location! Lots of space, well equipped kitchen, generous welcome treats and high quality bedding. Lots of 'extras' that have been missing from many other places we have stayed at that just made life easier. Morning cuppa with the company of woodpeckers, water vole & numerous other birds was so lovely. Short 510 min walk through the private grounds to the ferry, Starbucks cafe, Aquarium & steam train, with fabulous views on the way. Lakeside View is very special and we hope to return for longer next time. Thank you very much for your hospitality, you really have thought of everything needed to make for a wonderful stay!

The cottage was above and beyond what I expected. Interior five star and lush carpets. Outside birds and phesants run free. I look forward to returning soon

Absolutely fantastic break, property exactly as described and very clean. Great location for exploring the lakes.

Fabulous accommodation, in a beautiful setting. We had everything we needed in the apartment and couldn't ask for a better location.

Outstanding! Im not sure I can put into words how stunning this place is, but I will try. The communication provided before our visit was really useful in helping us plan some things to do during our stay. The property was immaculate and really felt luxurious with comfortable seating, comfortable beds with lovely thick blankets and plenty of pillows. There were lots of books and board games for us to enjoy. The surrounding gardens were stunning, even the cold February weather couldnt put us off enjoying a walk down to the jetty. We wish had booked to stay longer than we had but hope to be able to enjoy future visits at Lakeside View.

Very nice cottage they even left us Xmas presents for the whole family which was very nice

A beautiful property in a very tranquil and relaxing location. Very well equipped kitchen with high quality fittings, utensils and cutlery. Furnishings and all fittings tasteful and of equally high quality. We particularly enjoyed having direct access to the lake and short walks to Newby Bridge and Lakeside. Welcome hamper also very much appreciated as was all the information provided for local attractions and the history of the property. Would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

We have just spent a week with amazing weather at this beautiful, spotlessly clean, well maintained, and well equiped cottage. Lots of thoughtful extras provided along with a very generous 'welcome pack'. The setting is very peaceful with quality outdoor furniture to the front and rear of the property. We really enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders at one time there were 8 varieties of birds including a woodpecker! Short walk to Lakeside for the steam train and lake ferries great for relaxing days out with fantastic scenery. We enjoyed the walk to the village of Finsthwaite and also to the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge for lunch by the river. Many thanks to the owner Janet we hope to return in the near future.

Absolutely fantastic grounds. Very clean and comfortable house. Everything you can think of. Heating worked instantly. . No faults to be found

A very pleasant stay at Lakeside. The owner contacted me prior to arrival and offered advice and tips, which was very much appreciated. Spacious accommodation and generous welcome hamper. Only slight negative would be it's a bit remote, but we find it quite relaxing.

We had a great stay. They property is lovely and surroundings very pretty. There were only 2 things that I would have liked to improve our stay. More available plug sockets in the bedroom. I had to unplug the lamp to charge my phone. It wasn't an issue but would have been easier with additional sockets. Also some tongs in the kitchen to use when turning bacon or sausages under the grill. The only other thing that would have helped would have been a bit more detail on where to go when we got there and where to park. Took us a bit of time to find the 2 separate parking spaces. That wouldn't stop us from coming back though. It was lovely and relaxing and we really did enjoy our stay.

We had such a wonderful week at Lakeside View and have never stayed in such a clean, comfortable, wellequipped holiday home. The grounds are so beautiful and tranquil, and we didn't see another soul on our walks through the woods or trips up and down to the lake with our kayak and paddleboard. Our grandchildren loved the freedom to play on and run around the extensive gardens, play in the lake, and watch the steam train pass by the bottom of the garden. The house is in a perfect location for exploring the south Lakes, and we will certainly be returning. The owners were very prompt and pleasant with their replies to the queries we had before our trip, and this added to our perfect review of Lakeside View. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would!

We had a fantastic holiday at Lakeside View! The cottage was very comfortable well equipped and the setting was outstanding. Located in beautiful private grounds with easy access to the shores of Windermere, this really is the perfect place for a break on this stunning lake. Great communications with the owner before and during the visit and would definitely return!

We had a fantastic week staying at Lakeside View. What a beautiful setting! We used the private jetty most days to launch our kayak and SUP and paddle across to Fell Foot for an ice cream amazing! We were very lucky with the weather and the sun was out most days. The house and surroundings were stunning and we enjoyed many local walks. Thank you for an amazing week!

This was a perfect property for our stay. Clean and full of everything we needed. Lovely quiet location but close enough to attractions etc. Communication with the owner was easy and prompt. We throughly recommend a stay here.

Our stay at Lakeside View was truly outstanding from beginning to end. The attention to detail and the level of comfort exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the impeccable cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere of the cottage. The wellequipped kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including a generous supply of plates and utensils. The lovely welcome pack was a delightful touch, making us feel right at home. The bathrooms were spotless and stocked with plenty of toilet rolls, ensuring we never had to worry about running out. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated, featuring very comfy beds that guaranteed a restful night's sleep. The extra duvets and cushions provided added comfort. The outside space was equally wonderful. We spent many hours in the front garden, where we could watch a variety of birds and squirrels while relaxing on the garden furniture. It was a serene and peaceful experience. The back garden, a large shared green space, was perfect for socializing with friends and provided a safe area for our young kids to play on their bikes for hours. The living room was cozy, and stocked with a great selection of board games and plenty of information about local activities and attractions. The location of Lakeside View is unbeatable. Windermere is literally on your doorstep, offering stunning views and easy access to numerous walking trails. We loved exploring the nearby paths and taking in the natural beauty of the area. In summary, Lakeside View is the perfect retreat, whether youre looking to relax or explore. The combination of its fantastic amenities, ideal location, and exceptional comfort makes it a perfect choice. We can confidently say its the best cottage weve ever stayed in, and we cant wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

A very high quality letting, starting with the generous welcome pack and personalised note, Superbly equipped cutlery, glasses, kitchenware, spices, etc. The furnishings were excellent and it was spotless. A great location, and lots of literature in the lounge to help us make the most of our short stay. We particularly enjoyed eating breakfast in the kitchendinner and our evening meal in the loungediner. It would have been a 1010 but for ours ensuite having no door to separate the toilet from the bedroom area.

A fantastic property in a beautiful location. The electric gates open to beautifully maintained gardens the drive takes you down to 2 parking spaces for the accommodation. The rear courtyard was lovely to sit in the morning. A second seating area for the afternoon sun overlooks the lawned area. The kitchen is so well equipped both with equipment and consumables. The whole property is beautifully presented. There was a good selection of games and books. There was local information of places to visit. We were staying at the property to attend a wedding at Town Head estate which was only a five minutes drive away so have not truly explored the area but will definitely be looking to return as the location allows access through the grounds to the lake Windermere cruise boat and the steam railway meaning no need to take the car and struggle for parking when you can hop on the boat and travel up Lake Windermere. Great communication from both Sykes cottages and the owner. I highly recommend the property.

Beautiful cottage set in a stunning garden. Everything provided that you could possibly need.Very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location at the base of lake Windemere. We were in lovely grounds with fine views and plenty of paths and close to many attractions. All of the rooms and equipment were of a high standard and very comfortable. We were with three teenage grandchildren and there was plenty of space. We had a fabulous time and we would love to return.

The property was booked for three nights,to celebrate two family birthdays and fathers day . The only instant regret we had on entering the property was we hadn't booked more nights . A beautiful well kept property in an amazing location.

Beautiful property and beautifully decorated. We absolutely loved our time here and the welcome present was much appreciated. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. I would go back immediately if I could.

Lovely accommodation in excellent location. Great facilities, comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. Easy walk to the Swan Inn or Lakeside Hotel. National Trust park over the river very nice with kayak and SUP hire. Great views from nearby Gummers How. Overall highly recommend Lakeside View and this part of the Lake District.

Our family really enjoyed our holiday at Lakeside View which was of a very high standard and had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful and lake access an added bonus. I would highly recommend Lakeside View.

Lakeside View had absolutely everything what we needed for our stay. Hosts were also very helpful. Would definitely recommend this cottage and I am already planning to book it again this year in summer Thanks & Kind Regards Sachin
