    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Andrew - Verified booking

      The electric wall heaters in the lounge were controlled by the owner on her mobile phone.

      She kept turning the temperature down on them and sometimes off completely. We had to telephone her numerous times and ask her to turn the heating on or up, because the room was freezing. It was snowing outside when we were staying there. The Lake District can still be extremely cold even in the summer. The broadband service was so erratic and slow it would not allow Netflix or iPlayer to operate, so the tv was useless. We ended up using our own Vodafone data for the internet. The amount of stairs you have to climb from the front door up to the bedroom is 28, which is even a struggle for someone who is fairly fit. They provided us with one small bath and hand towel each for two weeks holiday, which is really penny-pinching, considering that there is no washing machine in the apartment to wash laundry. The property comes with an allocated parking space, which is ideal in the centre of Windermere. The apartment is located in the centre of Windermere, with shops, restaurants and pubs right on your doorstep. The lounge and bedrooms were decorated to a good standard with very nice furnishings. The kitchen was well equipped with everything required for cooking and eating.

      The directions should be updated.

      “Cinderella Me” is now “Lakeland Retreats” and Morrison’s is now Sainsbury’s. I drove around the one way system 3 or 4 times before I spotted the entrance to College Court! The accommodation itself was lovely - comfortable and clean, well equipped and excellent location. Maybe not suitable for young families due to the internal staircases and cream sofas! The provision of only one parking space could be an issue for some guests because the only option was to park on the street and there are parking restrictions between 9am and 6pm. I had a friend stay for one night. She moved her car into one of the empty spaces in college court for 5-10 minutes to unload and immediately one of the permanent residents came out to tell her she couldn’t park there. The same happened when she did the same to pack the car. Also, it might be useful for guests to be aware that if you wish to eat out in Windermere, you will need to book well in advance! I tried to make reservations a week before our trip at the beginning of September and was told by more than one that they were fully booked until mid-October. Takeaway was difficult too, with two Chinese restaurants closed.

      We thoroughly enjoyed our celebratory stay with the family at Hazelnut Cottage.

      The property is fabulous, has plenty of space, is well equipped, very comfortable and in a great location. There were a few niggles which has influenced the overall rating - the heating in the en-suite bedroom was ineffective (we have mentioned this to the owner direct) and the en-suite shower isn’t particularly powerful. We knew that parking for two cars is restricted but we also found that access into the driveway is quite tight too. The rear shared courtyard area is very small and does need some attention - although this wasn’t an issue as the weather at this time of year isn’t suitable for sitting out anyway! When we first booked the property, we were fairly sure that it was “pet free” which was one of the main drivers for our choosing it, due to pet allergies. We have since noticed that pets are now allowed which could have been a serious issue. As it happens, the property was spotlessly clean and it may well be that there have been no dogs. However, we would not be able to stay again if its status remains the same.

      We enjoyed our stay at The Old Chapel.

      Lots of interesting places to visit in the area. We did a couple of local walks from the cottage trying to avoid the main road. Second Bedroom en-suite very cramped and the sink plug did not work so sink would not hold water. Great idea having a website with all the instruction manuals for the appliances however I think other information could be added including local information like nearest shops, doctors, hospital, takeaways, places to visit as we did not find this information in the cottage, most owners seem to provide this. The Sun Inn pub is within easy walking distance, they were friendly and we enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch. We only found out on the last day that the TV had a Amazon Video account setup, this would have been useful to have known at the beginning of our stay Again something that could easily be added to the https://www.lakeschapel.co.uk/ website. Overall we were impressed with the cottage and the area. We would like to return again sometime.

    • Daniel - Verified booking

      Amazing property and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Hazelnut Cottage!

      The rooms were beautiful and the house immaculate. The main bathroom was a real luxury, and all the bedrooms were well thought out with comfortable beds and lovely lighting. The adults particularly enjoyed relaxing in the cosy living room, while the younger members of the party could not get enough of the superb cinema/games room.....a Godsend considering the wet and changeable summer weather! The house is situated within a few minutes walk of the town centre with all it's quaint shops and restaurants, yet has an away-from-it all feel. Also within a comfortable walk/five minute drive to the busier Bowness-on-Windermere and its famous lake. Hazelnut Cottage is a real home-from-home and the owner has thought of everything to make a luxurious and comfortable stay. Would highly recommend this property and we will no doubt be back!
