The Belfry Reviews

House is look amazing Very clean nice location

Great location, walking distance to amenities and hikes recommend walk out to orrest head as right on your doorstep! Well maintained and equipped property, especially appreciated the cleaning pack, extra towels & plastic cups for hot tub and welcome treats including jam and Kendal mints but would have liked at least a spare loo roll to be provided. Was perfect for us over a long weekend, but would have found the place small a little cramped if staying longer, also beware its a narrow driveway into the property, difficult to navigate especially if arriving in the dark.

The lack of cleanliness is very poor in this property and does not match the quality of the accommodation. The bathrooms are getting a basic wipe over however there was alot of scum build up in the shower cubical on the corner and on the base and shows they are not getting a proper clean. The cubicle smells when you run the shower and again it's due to a lack of a proper clean. There are ingrained scum build up around the tap too. The extractor fan is filthy and again is not getting cleaned regularly. There was alot of food in the kitchen larder cupboard from the pervious guests. The pots are so old and need renewed along with the kitchen basin. There is an issue with condensation in one of the bedrooms and there was black mould around the window. The blind pull is rusty due to the condensation and every time you put the blinds up or down you have to wash your hands to get rid of the rust on your hands. The hot tub maintenance come very early. On my first morning Sat they arrived at 7.30am and it woke me up. I think you should tell guests how often they come too. I don't think it's suitable not to be able to properly lock the door. A bolt doesn't feel enough. I've never stayed anywhere where you can't lock the door or with such a low standard of cleaning. Can someone call me to discuss this matter further.

A deep clean required in house. Plastic plants, felt flower pictures in bedroom, handrail covered in dust , Childs sock, pink spatula, tooth pick , crumbs found under sofa. Had to hoover and dust as allergies were set off . It spoilt an absolutely lovely house, excellent location.

Lovely property with great character . Hot tub nice in the winter,Entrance very narrow to property but I managed to squeeze my VW van in. Unusual layout with bedrooms downstairs.Works well for two couples. If being slightly picky mattress felt a bit worn as tend to sag in the middle .Easy access to village as only 5 mins into town .The Crafty Baa a nice pub for New Yesr.

Another fantastic holiday for Christmas in this cottage. So lovely and comfortable and the owner keep on top of anything that needs updating or repairing. Can't wait to return.

Reported just after arriving that the heating was not working. The engineer arrived quite quickly but was just a plumber and knew nothing about the new heat pump that had just been installed so he supplied some electric heaters that worked fine. A second engineer turned up two days later, fiddled with the controls and said it would work after 30 minute and left unfortunately it still didnt work! Hot tub was lovely but was located in a position that was overlooked by other properties and had open access no bolt on gate so anyone could use it while we were out. Neither of the above detracted from a lovely holiday.

Bathrooms need deep cleaning, both are mouldy, moreover the ensuite shower room water was not draining properly. Small bedroom is extra small not sure if you may consider extending it a bit if possible. Throw blanket in the living room needs washing. Otherwise the rest was excellent my family and I enjoyed our stay at the Belfry.

A wonderful property in a super location for exploring the lakes. After an issue with the hot water, the response and problem solving from Lakelovers was extremely quick.

Second time at the Belfry and probably wont be the last visit because its so nice! Good location too easy access to the Lake Districts excellent bus network and trains.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location

Our Honeymoon, Thank you for a lovely stay in your gorgeous cottage for our honeymoon. It was so clean and well presented, just gorgeous. The hot tub is perfect also, love the personalised hot hub glasses and towels, great location. will recommend your cottage and hopefully be back. The Heppenstalls

This property is not fit for rental and holiday lettings and we were very disappointed by our overall experience. Every room in the Belfry has black mould throughout all windows and frames are covered in black mould, there was black mould on the bed sheets and on the curtains. We were unable to sleep in the main bedroom as there was such a mouldy stench and I have left the property with a stuffed nose. I contacted Sykes who did send out workmen however it was a partial treatment and requires much deeper work and attention to sort the problem. Other issues include the en suite bathroom as it stunk and the drainage didnt work properly. Small things like the 5 bulb chandelier in the main bedroom only had 3 bulbs working, were disappointing. Lastly we were awoken on Friday morning at 730am to a leaf blower outside the bedroom windows which went on for an hour no sleep ins at the Belfry! Overall the property has real potential its nicely decorated, lovely furnishings the table, chairs and couch and its in a great location however the fundamental issues with the property far outweigh any of the benefits. Given the price we paid to stay at the Belfry, it fell well below expectations and the cleanliness alone is enough for me to not recommend it to anyone.

Loved the Belfry everything had been thought off fantastic quiet location but ... Loved the Belfry everything had been thought off fantastic quiet location but near enough to all facilities would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful place to stay. We loved the location and The Belfry. The hot tub was a super bonus too. We will be back next year.

Superb accommodation in a fantastic location. Easy to walk into Windermere and Bowness as well as easy access to main roads. The Belfry was spotless and comfortable. Lots of information on hand for places to visit as well as how to work the amenities within the house. Hot tub was checked daily by a company, which had no impact on us. Hot tub was great, loved the timed fairy lights too. Great for bat and owl watching. We would 100 consider coming here again.

Great stay lovely place great location we will be back just one small issue the toilet in the main bathroom had problems flushing.

Excellent location Amazing hot tub Beautiful interior comfy Beds Quality kitchen

We really loved staying at this property and we hope to come back soon. A fabulous property in a perfect location. We had all the facilities within the property we needed and the hot tub was a great addition that was well used

A fantastic property in a great location. Amazingly equipped more than enough of everything and very good quality items like Denby crockery and decent bedding. We loved it thank you so much. Only possibly improvement something to reach the windows when your short to open them.

Already booked again for next year!

Already booked again for next year!

The property was fitted out to a very high standard and was very attractive and comfortable. One of the best cottages that we have stayed in.

A wonderfully comfortable property! Fab facilities and maintained to a high standard. Everything you would need is provided. The welcome tray was very much appreciated, thank you for sharing this little gem...we're coming back in July!

Gorgeous Cottage in a lovely quiet location with everything you need. Only thing missing was a dressing table and mirror, which is essential for women, especially when there for a week.

The Belfrys location is great just a short walk into Windermere town which has great amenities we recommend The Crafty Baa and The Lamplighter Dining Rooms. The property is finished to a very high standard and the kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The beds are very comfortable with quality bed linen and towels provided, including for the hot tub which we made good use of. The only minor issue is the very narrow entrance to the property the solution was to turn the car wing mirrors inward to avoid problems. We have already recommended The Belfry to our friends.

Excellent location, walking distance to shops, cafes and bars as well as being a short drive away from Ambleside and Kendal. Good car parking, although the drive to get to the property is very narrow and would struggle to fit a larger car. The property itself was excellent. Very comfortable, perfect size. Such a lovely touch to have christmas decorations!! Also included towels for showers and to use in the hot tub. The private hot tub was excellent, although not warm enough to use on the first night of the stay we assume that the water had been changed that day for us arriving. Perfect place for a girly catch up holiday!

You did not even know I never went I postponed the trip once and could not ... You did not even know I never went I postponed the trip once and could not reach you over the phone or my mail to postpone it a second time the site did not allow a second time So I will never use your company again ever I have told all my friends

What an amazing place to stay. The location of this cottage is perfect, just a short stroll from the town centre with bars and restaurants. The decor is stunning and the furniture is very high quality, I think I slept better here than I do at home! We made use of the hot tub which was lovely to have. The church bells do chime every 15 minutes but we got used to that. The only problem was that both TVs in the bedrooms didnt work, but we werent bothered. Cannot wait to return!

The accommodation was absolutely perfect, beautifully decorated with all the facilities you could need. Perfect for a family of 4. A couple of minute walk into the centre of Windermere. Its just off a busy road but you cannot hear the traffic the church bells do ring every 15 minutes between 8am10pm but you soon get used to it!

Excellent accommodation in a brilliant location

Lovely accommodation in a great location and really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day.

The cottage was beautifully maintained and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend it.

The cottage was lovely clean and well equipped. The hot tub was excellent too! Will definitely book here again.
