The Nook Reviews

Really lovely cottage . Lots of space and great value for money . We were a couple, but there was room for 6 . Short walk into town and loads of options for food and pubs.

Owners was great in dealing with a heating problem the day we arrived and it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. The house was very clean and the kitchen is particularly well equipped. Location is ideal for access to Lake and surrounding area. TV's in bedrooms are very small and didn't really serve any purpose as 2 of the remotes didn't work. Some of furniture old and needs upgrading. However, we had a lovely 2 weeks and the house is very comfortable anytime of the year.

Lovely stay in the Nook. Very comfortable beds and lovely fluffy towels. Excellent to have such good parking too at the property. Very pretty location. Kind of Judith to ring us to make sure that everything was OK Our grandson age 2 enjoyed himself and we would love to return but would advise a stair gate as the banister is very low at the top of the stairs,easily climbable if you were not aware that a little one had gone up and also the lock on the bathroom doors needs to be higher as it is not the type that can be unlocked from outside. Other than that, a brilliant stay. Thank you so much.

This was our third visit to The Nook and yet again everything perfect. Lovely message from Judith when we left. Will definitely be back.

Excellent accommodation ideal for 6 people, very spacious and a short walk from the centre of bowness. Plenty of parking if more than one car.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Nook. Real fire and the whole setting had a lovely cottage vibe. Very good location next to Windermere lake and central to Lake District. We'd happily come back again.

Excellent location, that was the only thing going for it, we were very disappointed and left early. Not a relaxing stay. The whole place needs a deep clean, inside and out. Bedroom pillows were old and lacked stuffing and badly needed replacing, fusty smell in the downstairs bedrooms that our guests complained of. The sheets were marked and stained. Chopping boards in the kitchen were disgusting. Kettle leaked. The gutters leaked really badly front and back, broken furniture in the rear garden, bbq was unusable, even after I attempted to clean it. The whole place needs some serious maintenance and cleaning, weeds everywhere front and back. Owner notified and complaint sent to Sykes.

Comfortable holiday accommodation, but lounge is not adequate for 6 people

The Nook certainly met all our expectations. From arriving, following a kind phone call from Judith, the owner, to leaving 7 days later, we enjoyed every moment of our holiday, to celebrate a special birthday. Everything we needed had been thought of a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms, a cosy living and dining room and plenty of hot water and warm heating. The house is in a great location. Peaceful, but near enough to walk into Bowness with all its amenities. A choice of two areas to enjoy the outside in good weather with ample seating and tables are available. Judith was quick to respond and very helpful when I had a question this was not regarding any problem or negative issue with the house at all. The personal approach was much appreciated. Would we return again? Yes, definitely! All in all, a perfect week. Thank you Judith.

Fantastic location and excellent facilities. .....very comfortable and would recommend

This cottage is in a very quiet area in an ideal position for Bowness and Windermere. Its a very roomy cottage except for the loungedining room especially for six guests. The upstairs bedroom is ideal to retreat to, its large and self contained with its own bathroom facilities. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. Our only negatives would be the lack of coat hangers for the three bedrooms and the duvets for the two bedroom downstairs were not very substantial especially for winter stays. The owner called us before arriving to inform us of different phone numbers if we had problems, thankfully we didnt but it was very much appreciated. With that said wed happily book the cottage again when visiting the Lake District.

The only small comment would be lack of slip mat in showers Other than that an ... The only small comment would be lack of slip mat in showers Other than that an excellent cottage well positioned in a quite peaceful location They even organise good weather if you ask nicely

The cottage was lovely. All good.

I had a great stay at The Nook. Thank you to the owner who managed to organise a short notice stay when I had to be moved to The Nook from my original accommodation. Cottage was well appointed, clean, comfortable and a great location for access to Bowness and the cruise boats. Definitely a home from home. I would certainly recommend.

It was perfect for us, location, layout, and the feather duvets were so cosy! The property is lovely and was clean and tidy. The 10 min walk into Bowness although downhill so uphill back was just right. Well definitely be booking again in the future.

The Nook was a very cute and homely property we stayed for a week and had a wonderful time it's a really good location as a base and in walking distance to lake boweness. There were a couple of negatives like there was a lot of cobwebs hanging around and the microwave made a strange noise when being used but I think the good outweighed them. The property was ideal for my daughter as she's in a wheelchair so 2 bedroom downstairs worked very well for us, We would stay at the Nook again

So disappointed with this cottage. The whole of the property could do with a full deep clean. It was surface clean only. Skirting boards, doors, handrails, ledges, underneath the stairs and washing machine were all dirty. Also all the radiators could do with a clean as they were full with dust. In the Kitchen, the microwave was making an unusual noise when turning off, and the toaster needs a good clean. toast crumbs all stuck inside the toaster The kettle was also leaking. In the downstairs bathroom, behind the toilet and sink was dirty, and only the small flush was working. Also you need a shower mat in the bath, it was very slippy when having a shower. Falls could quite easily happen. In the twin bedroom downstairs the tv was not working even after checking the batteries In the double bedroom downstairs, there were tiny flies all on the windowsill, and behind the bed was very dusty. The TV in the lounge had only 5 basic channels and 2 childrens channels. Although there were dvds in the cupboard there was no dvd player. The children were so disappointed. Finally no visitors book, or tourists information leaflets. Sorry to say this was the worst cottage I have ever been in.

Lovely cottage in perfect location. Every home comfort catered for and plentiful car parking . Would not hesitate to stay here again highly recommend.

A beautiful, well maintained, comfortable, clean and spacious property with everything we needed including ample parking. Very pleasant and friendly communication with the owner Judith. Thank you

Beautiful property, spacious and everything we needed for a perfect stay. Easy access to both to the town and countryside walks Thank you

Lovely cottage. Spotlessly clean. Great location. Well equipped. We were lucky enough to be there the weekend of a very heavy snowfall and had a magical experience.

We have stayed at the nook for 5yrs in a row now. Its a wonderful cottage house in an excellent location only about a 10 minute walk from the centre of bowness. We will definitely be booking again.

Lovely accommodation, really close to Bowness downhill, beautiful walk behind the cottage uphill. We were all very comfy here and enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic stay at The Nook lovely cottage with a wellequipped kitchen, large bedrooms and an easy walk down to the town & lake with a 1 year old.

The layout of the property was very spacious for a family with a toddler. The two Downstairs bedrooms and bathroom were easily accessible. Living room was comfortable with a TV and dining table. Very creaky downstairs floorboards which made moving around the house tricky during night time with a toddler. The kitchen had all the fittings needed for daysnights in when needed. 10minutes walk to Bowness main centre

Great location for everything you need and walking into Bowness 10mins plus driving to attractions and activities. Spacious cottage and well equipped. We needed maintenance help on 2 occasions but this was just 'one of those things' that could have happened at anytime we think a power cut effected the dishwasher and shower but a very friendly 'JP' came out asap and kept in contact with us with what was happening, the owner also very kindly rang to apologise etc which was appreciated and a lovely thing to do. We found the beds super comfy and the down duvets lovely and warm. We felt the kitchen and bathroom could have been cleaner but understand there is only so much that can be done with the turn around so frequent during Aug. We also felt it would have been nice to have loo, and kitchen rolls and bin liners enough to cover the week & in the bathroom bins plus some cleaner left as we needed to pop out to the shops straight away to get a few supplies even though we did come with all sorts of kitchen bits we did expect those basics as this was a higher end pay bracket. The Bar B Que and grill pan was in a state so we cooked our burgers inside which was a shame but I guess that's down to the visitors that stay and not the owner. A lovely cottage, spacious and well equipped with supportive team looking after it. Thank you

Could do with a hand rail at the bath for older guests. The garden could be tidier and some of the walls need a coat of paint. On the positive side very spacious and walking distance for Bowness.

The kettle leaks. The clothes airer is broken. The clothes line is inaccessible. A table in the kitchen would be helpful. There should be a curtain in the hallway as the light shines into the bedroom with the door open. The duvets were too heavy and an alternative or a blanket should be provided for extreme heat cold.

A perfect stay thank you very much! As a group of 6 4 adults and 2 boys we were very comfortable and wanted for nothing at the property. Great location, plenty of space and very peaceful. Thank you for the extended check out time, much appreciated!

Super location. Very attentive owners. Had a wonderful visit to the area and The Nook was the perfect base.

Nice property, great location, very much enjoyed our stay.

An excellent property, very comfortable and well equipped. Most thoughtful owners too, immediate response to to an issue with the heating which was promptly sorted. Thank you.

Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed. Location excellent. Communication with owner was excellent. Loved it. Thank you for the new year treats. Will definitely return

The Nook is a lovely property and in a great location. We've stayed there several times now and will hopefully do so again next year. It's very spacious excellent for the six of us and is always very clean.

We have returned to the Nook several times. It is a pleasant place with all the amenities. It is spacious inside and out, with ample parking and conveniently situated near Bowness.

Beautiful place. Were looking to book again next year. Our criticism is only minor because its honestly a great place to stay the fridge wasnt the best for a family of 5. Weve found this about a lot of holiday homes though so its not put us off. Other than that though it was perfect. Perfectly located too.

The property provided everything that was promised in the advert. It was spacious, well equipped and maintained. The owner was very considerate in informing us on the day of our arrival what time we could actually enter the premises, rather than having to wait until the time stipulated in the advance information. Attention was also paid to seemingly small things, which were, nevertheless, important for comfort e.g. timely replacement of the television control. We appreciated all of these things.

Excellent location, lovely house with everything you could possibly need, great layout. Spotlessly clean. Highly recommended

Wonderful ! ! We didnt realise how close we were to shops, restaurants and pubs so didnt have far to stumble home !!! The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need if you intended to cook it has a lovely warm feel , we would definitely stay here again.
