Michael April 2024

“A really lovely place to stay with everything well thought out and everything you need for a great stay.”

The property was a lovely. A great location to walk to Bowness or Windermere a pub round the corner and shops pubs and restaurants a short walk away. Highly recommend.

Alison March 2024

“Another wonderful stay!”

This is our second visit and won't be our last. We love how the owners recognise that a cottage can be super dog friendly but still high end for humans. Like others, we wash the crockery before use and this time I needed to rinse dog hairs (not ours) out of the bath so it would be great if the cleaners could check these things between guests. Plenty of on street parking immediately outside, enclosed patio is secure for dogs and a wonderful sun trap (even in early March!)

“Cleanliness of the cutlery plates and glasses was poor w had to re wash all of them.”

general maintenance of the property poor damp patches on wall. After leaving the property we were accused of scuffing the walls which were already scuffed this put a downer on the return of our holiday.

Samantha December 2023

“First time staying here and WOW what an amazing little find.”

Great stay had by all, house is lovely and cozy with the best beds ever and ideal location to Windemere and to Bowness!!. Will 100% recommend to anyone!

Katherine Loft October 2023

“We had an absolutely amazing stay here for the week.”

The house is beautiful and clean with everything you could need. The beds are so comfortable, something I always struggle with when going away. The large roomy kitchen was great and the cosy living room was lovely after a chilly day on the fells. We definitely hope to return.

- Katherine Loft, October 2023
Tracey October 2023

“Absolutely fantastic property.”

Everything you could need including comfy beds, well appointed sitting room and kitchen. Felt like home immediately and the location between Windermere and Bowness gives you great shopping, eating and vistas all within walking distance. Very quiet location with easy parking. Highly recommended and next time we visit The Lakes we’ll definitely stay here again.

- Tracey, October 2023

David June 2023

“Lovely house and central for all amenities.”

The cleaning of the house was poor especially in the living room with dog hairs on the furniture and carpet

- David, June 2023
Alex June 2023

“Lovely cottage, very clean and well presented.”

Perfect for our family. Great location close enough to amenities but nice and quiet. Will definitely book again in future

- Alex, June 2023
Kate May 2023

“The property was gorgeous!”

Plenty of room with a lovely outside area and most importantly very comfy beds! The only downside was the one bathroom, we didn’t realise how much frustration this would cause when booking, but one toilet when 6 people are trying to get ready in the morning was difficult. Other than that a lovely weekend with family in a great location.

- Kate, May 2023

Alison March 2023

“Absolutely loved this cottage.”

We've stayed in numerous cottages in both Bowness and Windermere and this was one of the best. Great location, facilities and super comfortable for the two of us and pooches. There were some significant cleanliness issues upon arrival but we reported these to Sykes immediately and overall, it didn't affect our stay. We'll definitely be back.

- Alison, March 2023

Thank you so much for these comments. We are so sorry that you had some issues at the start of your stay but we are glad that you still had a wonderful time Property Owner
Sandra February 2023

“This is a beautifully decorated house, it had everything we wanted and more, it looks even better in person than the pictures.”

The kitchen is very well equipped and has all that's needed. The house is very clean and so comfortable. We spent the best 5 days here and will definitely return. Thank you.

“Absolutely beautiful place all mod cons and more, beds so comfortable.”

Great base for sightseeing it was lovely. Was disappointed that the fridge freezer was broke but reported it and they gave us a replacement, just a bit on the small side for a family of four xxxxx

- Tracey, December 2022
Aimee December 2022

“This was our second visit to this house, we loved it!”

The house is lovely and has everything you could want and a lovely cosy feel.

- Aimee, December 2022
Shelley October 2022

“Lovely property, fully equipped for the 6 of us that stayed.”

Very dog friendly and great location. Would highly recommend and will return

- Shelley, October 2022
Claire September 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!”

The property was finished to a very high standard with three good sized bedrooms, kitchen/dining room and cosy lounge area. The under floor heating was an added bonus (didn’t realise the property had this until we got there), making life a lot easier when coming in from the wet and cold. The kitchen was well equipped including added extras such as an ironing board, radio, washing machine and tumble dryer plus a variety walking books to help decide where to go. The property is in a great location too with Windermere just 5 minutes walk away and Bowless only 15 mins walk. Both offering a nice selection of restaurants. This was our first visit to the Lake District, with lots of lovely walks for us and the dog to enjoy, and definitely won’t be our last. Thanks again for a lovely property. Apologies for the late review.

- Claire, September 2022
Sandra September 2022

“Perfect property in great location for exploring everything we needed and more”

Rebecca August 2022

“This is a really lovely cottage in a great location.”

We had a fabulous few days staying there with our kids - everyone loved it. The house is well equipped and very clean and tidy. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds are!! The only minor thing that I thought could be improved is that it would be nice to have a welcome pack of essentials. And some instructions for the induction hob as I struggled to get it to work!!!

2 Alexandra Road is a magnificent Victorian mid-terrace townhouse in Windermere, Cumbria.

2 Alexandra Road is a wonderful choice for a group or family of six because of its excellent position in the Lake District National Park and its proximity to Lake Windermere.

Impress your loved ones with delicious culinary creations, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen/dining room which features a large island, granite counters, and all of the integrated appliances you could need.

Tuck-in to a tasty home-cooked meal at the dining table for six as you recount the days adventures or dine alfresco out on your private patio on warmer days.

As the evening grows darker, retreat to the sitting room, where you can kick-back and relax on the plush corner sofa and watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

You'll discover a well-appointed bathroom on the first level, complete with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower for a quick rinse after a long day.

Both a light and airy king-size bedroom and a children's bunk room can be found on this floor, both of which have plenty of storage for your belongings.

There is one further bedroom on the second floor, a bright and airy king-size with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. There are a wide variety of restaurants and pubs to choose from in the immediate area, including fresh seafood at Hooked, Italian cuisine at San Pietro, and hearty pub fare at The Pig.

To name just a few of the many activities available right outside your door, you can take in the breath-taking vistas from the tops of Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head, discover the Windermere Jetty Museum and the Beatrix Potter World Attraction, and go paddleboarding, kayaking, or sailing on Lake Windermere.

Visit Ambleside, home to six Michelin-starred restaurants, the Armitt Library & Museum Centre, the Roman Fort of Ambleside from the second century, and the scenic Stock Ghyll Force.

Grasmere, home to the Rydal Cave and the former residence of the great poet William Wordsworth, is the next stop.

The museums of Kendal and Quaker Tapestry, the magnificent Kendal Golf Club, the amazing Kendal Castle, and the picturesque Gooseholme Park can be found in Kendal, which is a short drive away.
