“Overall really enjoyed our stay at cherry trees.”

A beautiful house in a great location. Did find using the ovens on the aga a bit tricky at times.

“Very nice property.”

Gorgeous surroundings and lake view. The house is incredibly spacious and the hot tub and tennis court are a huge bonus. A house of this size really needs a separate tumble dryer though. Otherwise, no complaints at all :)

“This is our second time at Cherry Trees.”

We enjoyed everything about it, from the minute you walk in you feel completely at home. The views are spectacular from the house. The house is beautifully maintained. Every room was used by us all, so we didn’t feel we were on top of each other, if you wanted to have a quiet half hour, you definitely can get that there! The teenagers had their own gaming room. Big hit with us parents. Definitely would come back again. We had a power cut whilst there and within an hour, someone was with us to help sort out the fuse box so we could carry on enjoying our holiday. The maintenance for the hot tub was also good, every couple of days someone popped round to top up the water and make sure it was ok. The location is perfect for a walk into Bowness. The only thing I’d say which is minor, would be a nice little welcome pack, just to welcome you after a long drive. We had all our shopping arranged for delivery for when we got there so we weren’t long without a brew on arrival. The only complaint I have is that I don’t live there

“We recently celebrated with our family following our wedding and stayed at Cherry Trees.”

I can't put into words how amazing it was, the house is unbelievable, everyone in our party was blown away by the size and how beautifully decorated it is. The outdoor space around the property is perfect, you aren't overlooked by anyone and the views are very special. The hot tub was a massive hit, even with people that said they'd never use one! Its also very well located for walking into Bowness and visiting the lovely shops and bars. Thanks for making our special celebration so memorable in this beautiful place

“Pros: Absolutely lovely property, luxurious indeed.”

Every room is different and we loved the variety. Everything was made of good quality and solid built. The home was huge and so fun. Carus & Green were brilliant with getting us a cot and loo rolls last minute. The lady who delivered it, I believe it was Sarah was so lovely. The hot tub was clean and heated. This properly is just beautiful and the views, god damn it was beyond beautiful. Cons: Sykes didn't communicate our need for a cot to Carus green. House keep left one loo roll in each bathroom when we had 10 people staying for 4 days so wasn't ideal. The tennis court was covered in moisture growth so couldn't use it to play on. The log burner was a nightmare and we were never successful in getting it started despite many attempts and experience. The beds were a bit hard and struggled to sleep. Overall huge thumbs up despite the little niggles as you'd expect in places. Thank you.

“A beautifully situated house which was comfortable and stunning.”

Spectacular views from nearly all rooms. Furnished and decorated to a very high standard. The kitchen was a joy to cook in! We had a lovely relaxing week in this amazing house. It is close to the town and all amenities and plenty to do on or by the lake. Lots of places to eat and drink. Would highly recommend to other and can confidently say this has been our best new year break to date.

“The cottage was perfect for our family celebration.”

The different reception rooms were very welcome; there was an appropriate place for each of our different needs. It was lovely to be able to see the lake, and to have a game of tennis or dip in the hot tub. Each member of our three generations enjoyed their stay.

“What an amazing house, the grounds were beautiful and it felt so homely, we didn’t want to leave.”

Even when it rained it was lovely to sit in the window seats and read or enjoy the views. The lounges and the hot tub were perfect for sunny afternoons and evenings after a long walk in the nearby hills. Walking into Bowness wasn’t too difficult either. The house was spacious and had everything you needed. The beds were so comfortable, we all had the best sleep. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday, we all feel relaxed and revived. We hope to come back one day. A truly special place.

“The house itself was lovely.”

However the previous occupants had been smoking in the Tom that my parents stayed in and it took 4 days for the smell to go even with the windows open and use of air fresheners. The cleaners were made aware. Very disappointing as listed as strictly non smoking

Built to impress, Cherry Trees is an imposing Victorian Gentleman’s residence that stands grandly on the hillside overlooking Lake Windermere on the edge of the village of Bowness-On-Windermere.
