The Burrow Reviews

The cottage was nice, central within 2 minutes walk to shops and restaurants. The entrance to cottages driveway was difficult to navigate, it was really narrow. Lovely kitchen. Smart TV in lounge, kitchen and basement The negatives though were, the shower was very slippery with no handle on the wall, safety issue, had to buy a shower mat. We couldnt get on to Netflix, there were too many accounts on it. Also had to buy a hairdryer, couldnt find one, No kitchen roll. Small things but would have made it perfect.. The stairs were very steep. Had a nice time though apart from that.

Great cottage and very well maintained. Would recommend it to anyone looking to be at the heart of things in Windermere and surrounds. Comfortable and comes with everything you could want for a week away.

Great location, games room, comfy bed. I sent a message on the app as no hairdryer just an empty box but had no reply. I had to go knocking on doors with wet hair! The wall shelf right hand side of main bedroom is loose along with the tap in the main bathroom . The whole place needs a deep clean , dirty fridge, windows, cupboards and skirting boards. The bathrooms and surfaces were clean. The walls painted matt white with lots of scuffs. Not up to our usual standard. We only stayed the weekend and was out all day so it didnt spoil my birthday weekend too much as we ate out. Sky Tv great but dont sit on the sofa not comfy . Great for younger visitors as a games room is available .

We enjoyed the property. Very central to Windermere and 5 min walk to shops and cafes. We would have preferred if the property had curtains in the bedrooms. We would have also preferred if the property had a stair gate at bottom and top of stairs. We also felt the internet was not very stable. Other than that we thought it was a nice quaint cottage.

The house is lovely Great kitchen full range of kitchen equipment and comfortable living room. There is also a tv games room in the cellar. Beds and bedrooms comfortable and heating has great temperature control. You can park outside but would need a smaller car. We managed with a Fabia estate but with a bigger estate or suv you may struggle it is possible to turn round in the shared driveway. The house has a good selection of shops within a couple of mins walk with a coop on the corner for any supplies needed. Bowness is just down the hill about 25mins walk or mins in the car. Its a really nice place to base yourself to explore the lakes. However, There were a couple of issues with the bathrooms. The shower in the en suite needs a bit of attention, as we could not get it to work correctly throughout our stay. In particular it had very low water pressure. The plug mechanism in the family bathroom is broken, and the bath sprung a leak through the ceiling when I gave my son a bath, which meant we couldnt use the bathroom for 24 hours. The out of hours team were great, and came round to look at the issue and advised they would investigate and sort this issue when we left. However, contacting Sykes and dealing with this was not how we wanted to spend a morning of our short break. Hopefully this will be sorted for the next time someone stays at the house. Despite this, we would still recommend this as a great place to stay.

1st class. Great location. Lovely wee cosy cottage with everything needed.

We had awesome time at the Burrow. Walking distance to Windermere and plenary of walks close by. The cottage is well equipped and was spotless when we arrived and the open fire was absolutely fantastic feature we used daily. All the beds are comfy and bed lines lovely and crisp. We will be coming back soon.

Absolutely fabulous property no complaints at all, brilliant location and the media room was a fantastic addition. Just a suggestion there wasn't a hairdryer and no where to hang dresses but really wouldn't let that put me off. We will definitely book again.

Lovely property! Clean, comfortable and location is perfect. 100 stay again only problem we had was having to bring our own safety gate for the top of stairs, bar that your cottage is a fab base for exploring the lakes.

Nice little cottage, well located and nicely appointed. I couldnt get the remote in the kitchen to work, not a big problem just note for the next client

We loved our stay at 'The Burrow' feb 410. Great property and very conveniently placed to local amenities in Windermere. Great week in the lakes with dry weather, making use of the 2 bus fares to GrasmereAmblesideKeswick. We've come away inspired by the property and its decor and a great kitchen. Great comfortable bed mattress too. I now need larger TV's at home! good to have sky and fast wifi. Definitely hope to return.

Gorgeous cottage would absolutely stay again and thank you for a great welcome pack of goodies

Excellent, clean, warm and cosy, well equipped cottage set back in a secluded courtyard 2 minutes walk from the centre of Windermere. Entrance to the courtyard is a little tight through a narrow driveway but there is plenty of on street parking nearby if you prefer. We took a large family car and it was fine parking right outside the door. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage ideally situated in Windermere village 2 minutes walk to all amenities. Bowness on Windermere is about a 1015 minute walk away. The cottage was very well equipped and an unexpected welcome pack had been left of tea, coffee, biscuits and a bottle of Prosecco. We found the parking space a little restricted as there are 34 cottages in a small courtyard but it is manageable with care especially when all the cottages are occupied. We would definately recommend this cottage and would stay there again.

The cottage was really fabulous. Great facilities and our son particularly loved the gamescinema room. A great place to come back to after a day enjoying walks and water sports. Highly recommend getting a delivery from A days walk yummy local produce

Really lovely cottage with a gamesTV room in the basement which was great to use in the evenings. The main bedroom was however not King Size and the water pressure from the ensuite shower was rather low. All in all this was a lovely place to stay in the heart of Windermere.

The location is excellent and within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Windermere. Parking was useful but only suitable for a very small car. The property is lovely but we felt there was too much focus on style than comfort. The bathrooms are very small and it was difficult to have a wash in the onsuite as the sink is too small for the waterfall tap fitted. The living room furniture was nice, but not comfortable. When we arrived there was a strong smell coming from the kitchen sink drain which was very unpleasant. We had to keep pouring bleach down to try and clear it. The location is perfect for visiting Windermere.

Great place to stay right in the thick of things in Windermere and lovely comfortable cottage. The welcome pack of prosecco, coffee, tea and biscuits was a nice touch and the lovely added extra was the Christmas tree! Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

The Burrow is a fabulous holiday home and really convenient for plenty of coffee shops, bars, restaurant s etc. I took Ecoal and kiln dried logs but didnt need them as the cottage was very cosy and warm. There was even a Christmas tree

Loved the property and its fantastic location being close to most villages and towns. The bus stop and shops being a stones throw away was a delight. The property had everything we needed and was very cosy. The bonus was having two bathrooms too especially with four of us staying and we enjoyed using the fire. Our favourite place to sit was the kitchen at the breakfast bar and watch tv, whilst my parents enjoyed sitting in the living room. It's a shame the basement was out of use, but would certainly have used it as it looked great. As an experienced driver, the access path to drive down was OK but it is quite narrow and some may even struggle but we liked that there was an additional parking permit provided to park on the street also. Whilst we kept the property clean during out stay, we noticed it could have done with a thorough clean. There was quite a bit of dirt and dust gathered downstairs, in particular the living room. We struggled to locate the general waste wheelie bin during our stay, it would be good if this was kept closer to the property for future use. We also love to recycle where we can, if there is an option to recycle we would have preferred this too. Due to covid we tend to strip the beds ourselves and place all the dirty towels etc downstairs by the washing machine, it would be good if the instructions had something outlining what to do with bed linen and towels when departing. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cottage, it made our first visit to the Lakes perfect. We would love to stay again.

Lovely cottage, really well appointed, spotlessly clean. Quiet location but just round the corner from Windermere centre with good variety of shops and places to eat.

Excellent well appointed clean property newly refurbished I'd guess, location also excellent so many shopspubsrestaurants within a short walk away. Nice to have another car parking permit as well as a apace at the property. As a constructive comment We could not see any oven gloves although we never used the oven, no heating instructions and it was off we worked this out as first few days were q cold at nightmornings and the towel radiator needs heat. Whoever put the dartboard in, nice touch but unlit and far too low to use.

Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished, with lots of attention to detail. Missing a couple of things, that would totally complete the cottage offering hairdryer and oven gloves. The only downside was the parking. With all of the cottages let at the same time it was very difficult to get in and out as space is extremely tight.
