Love this cottage this is our second holiday. We love the amazing views from the lounge and balcony.
Another great stay in Tanna Hill. Good to see a new shower in the downstairs shower room. The views from this house are stunning, and the fact it is well out of the hustle and bustle of Bowness is a huge advantage. A wonderful patio with lake views to have barbecues if youre lucky with the weather. Be aware there is a steep drive up to the house. One of our favourite Lakeland places to stay. We have already booked our next stay.

Lovely property with wide views. Clean and comfortable well furnished kitchen exceptionally well equipped freezer in the garage showers excellent with good water pressure. Could do with more lounge seating if 6 people staying. WiFi very patchy. Ample parking effective heating. Upstairs bedroom radiator could not be adjusted to a lower temperature. Short walk into Bowness, although very steep drive. Path from garden directly onto Brant Fell with panoramic views. Entrance onto ground floor with big hallway, access to garage freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer double bedroom with ensuite and lake view double bedroom with lake view separate shower room across hall. Upstairs to lounge with lake view and access to terraced balcony kitchendiner with lake view twin or double bedroom facing hillside separate shower room along landing.

We are very pleased & loved the property but when we got there their was a note. The downstairs shower was our of use& waiting a part. We have seen in previous reviews that there was a problem. The only thing & i am being abit picky about is the sealant around the bath was mouldy& doesn't look very nice in my opinion. Overall our family had the best christmas& hol in your beautiful home& we have booked again for next christmas
Maxine
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tanna Hill. Everything we needed was there. Fantastic views across Bowness. Kitchen draws could do with a clean there were bits inside the utensil draws . Beds were comfy. The downstairs shower was out of order for our week but we managed ok. We have decided to book again next year. The gardener came twice to get rid of leaves on the drive which I thought was good so we didn't slip on them walking down. We all enjoyed the holiday and the service from Sykes Cottages
Elizabeth
We had an amazing stay at Tanna hill. Its a perfect location which is only a short walk from the centre of bowness and a short walk from the ferry. The view is amazing and even on a wet day it was lovely to sit looking out across the lake. It is well equipped so we were able to stay in or eat out. The upstairs shower room is amazing. We would highly recommend a visit and be back in a flash.
Sandra
Beautiful house stunning views very roomy . Driveway very steep but thats only down side would def go back there .
We loved Tanna Hill. The views from the living room and kitchen windows were spectacular. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. It was a great location for visiting all areas of the Lake District. A short walk to a bus stop enabled us to go to Keswick via bus . Again with spectacular views. We also took the bus to Coniston. Great for those who don't like the narrow roads flanked by dry stone walls.
Amazing place let down by poor or non existent cleaning. Visit this place every year it's amazing. Let down this year by poor cleaning
Tracey
Lovely place , would definitely stay here again , great views from room , kitchen, landing , and massive balcony with electric canopy .
Love the property. Our 3rd stay, so really pleasantly surprised by the new shower, which is great. Would love to see a visitors book, as we enjoy reading recommendations from others on walks and local pubscafes etc. Lovely quiet location with stunning views.
Michelle
Excellent week at Tannahill, beautiful views and comfortable surroundings. New bathroom upstairs was a lovely surprise. We will definitely come again.
We had a wonderful stay at Tanna Hill The views and location are incredible. Everything in the house was fabulously equipped. Some areas were a little tired like the bathrooms and the electric showers. But we would 100 stay here again. We loved it. And so did our 2 very well behaved dogs.
Francis
The view of the lake from the house is outstanding. On arrival we discovered Tree Tops the house next door was being completely renovated. This work had obviously been in progress for a number of months. The weekend was quiet but on Monday morning we were awakened by the sound of mechanical diggers in the garden of Tree Tops. The noise was also compounded by someone using a pneumatic drill to break up the patio in house immediately in front. It was like living on a building site. Sykes contacted the owner who made a take or leave it offer of a discount for the major inconvenience. The owner declined to release funds to allow rehousing for the remainder of the holiday. We made the best of the situation but left a day early. We feel that we should been made aware of issues prior to arrival and given the opportunity to rebook elsewhere. Sykes and their sister company Lake Lovers stated that they had no knowledge of the ongoing building work.
Beautiful location. House was great. Very spacious for 6 of us. 3 bathrooms was a big bonus! Very well equipped kitchen. Views from kitchen and front balcony were incredible! Decor and furniture etc was quite dated so in my opinion it could do with a bit of a refurb. However everything had been well maintained and still in good condition. Outside area was stunning, although the side patio area was in need of a little tlc. We would definitely recommend and will 100 be booking another stay here.
Excellent property, couldnt fault it at all. Would not think twice about re booking if we holiday in the Lakes in the future.
Fabulous house. Great views. Very steep hill up to it, but wouldnt get the views without it. Really quiet, pleasant street. A short downhill walk to the village of Bowness. Wish there was a visitors book to put down recommendations.
Amazing property. Fantastic balcony and views. Just a lovely place to be! This was our third visit. The best place we have rented for a long while.
