“We enjoyed our stay in the Lake District.”

T'whit T'woo is a lovely bungalow with a fantastic view of Lake Windermere, which impressed us every time we drove down the hill towards our parking space! The location is perfect for visiting all of the attractions and places we wanted to experience: steam trains, cruise boats and surrounding towns and scenery all impressed us. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

“Excellent communications between the owner & us before and throughout the short stay we had.”

Lovely & quiet location with a small view of Windermere. You can walk down to the Lake from the property, on a private footpath. It is ideally located for access onto the major tourist routes.

Thank you for your review and comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Deborah June 2024

“We had a lovely week at T'whit T'woo.”

The bungalow is well situated and has practically everything you need. We did struggle to find space in the kitchen cupboards for food though and ended up storing stuff on the worktops. The walk to the jetty and the jetty itself is lovely with amazing views of Lake Windermere. Hardly any beach area though which was disappointing as we would've liked to walk along a bit. The bedrooms both had a whiff of damp, especially the smaller room. We ensured windows were opened while we were in. It was cold while we were there so used the heating at times which soon warmed up the bungalow. Perfectly placed to reach so many places such as Bowness, Windermere Town, Ambleside etc.

- Deborah, June 2024

Thanks for your feedback. We did have a little wheelie trolley in the kitchen that could be used for food storage but l got rid of it because l was concerned that it was a trip hazard. Yes it is a small property. I think the back of the property does need ventilation as it is a bungalow and faces the embankment. We try to leave the window open a little to let air flow. Lake access is definitely at a premium these days. l enjoy open water swimming and knowing the lake well there is no long walk possible at the waters edge. Millerground and the public jetty further down Rayrigg road offer a bit more but can be busy. Thanks again for your thoughtful review. Property Owner
Kevin May 2024

“Had a lovely stay in a well appointed cottage T'whit T'woo.”

Cosy with all mod cons and great water pressure (better than my own house). Chose this one down to location and having a car parking space, as well as being central for our preferred locations. Only recommendations, we would have is to have a welcome pint of milk rather than the Proseco, but other than that both my wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely, plus we had 4 full days of sunshine!

- Kevin, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we now supply milk sachets for your cup of coffee or tea on arrival. Property Owner
KENNETH April 2024

“We have stayed at this property many times and new property owners have carried on with high standards .”

Every thing was as we expected and very clean. Weather turned out very good and did not need protective gear. A great place to celebrate my 80th birthday and hope to be back for many more.

- KENNETH, April 2024

Thank you very much for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your birthday celebrations. Property Owner

“We had a very relaxing time, a very nice, comfortable property in a lovely setting.”

We would definitely go back there

“MICE!!!”

! The owner stuck to a £300 refund which didn’t cover the 3 nights we vacated the property. Due to this we paid for a whole spent chasing mice, packing our cases and looking for alternative accommodation. Sykes referred us to the owner to resolve. The owner advised he didn’t want to be out of pocket but we were left as such having to pay more than £300 more for last minute alternative accommodation!!!!. This is aside from all of the other issues raised with Sykes no hot water to the bathroom sink, which the owner notified us about on route!!! I couldn’t use the shower due to surgery and being in a leg caste!!! building works outside to the right of the front door and an undisclosed steep incline to property, not in any of the photos, caused real difficulty for me on crutches in a caste. Yes it’s lovely, just hope you don’t have mice or any other issues!!

- Caroline, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We have caught the mouse and undertaken a deep clean . The problem is now resolved. The water heater is replaced and there is hot water in the bathroom. Next door have fully completed their ground works. We were not made aware of your leg in a cast in advance of your visit however we recently had a guest to stay who suffers from multiple sclerosis and is wheel chair bound. She accessed the property using the level path in front of the row of cottages with no issues The slope can be avoided if required. Property Owner

“We really enjoyed our stay at t'whit t'woo the views are lovely.”

The bungalow was easy to find and good parking. To be welcomed with a bottle of prosecco thank you for the lovely thought.we visited the 1st week of February and we were never cold such a cosy bungerlow where when we got back in we could just relax with your feet up and watch TV and decide what to do the following day. We are definitely going to return and hope to get T'whit t'woo god willing.Highly recommended .

The estate is surrounded by magnificent trees and enjoys a wonderful variety of flora and fauna, including free grazing wild deer, foxes, badgers and many bird species.

From the cottage, a short stroll along the private track, edged by wild snowdrops, daffodils, and bluebells in season, takes you to the estate’s private beach and jetty, from which you can also launch canoes and windsurfers, or simply take it easy on the bench and appreciate the magnificent vistas and the peace and tranquillity.
