Set over two floors and sleeping up to six guests, Deer Rise is the perfect base for both families and friends alike looking to explore the delights of The Lakes. A driveway with ample parking leads you to the foot of external stairs up to this lovely dwelling, making loading and unloading an easy task. Kick off your shoes as you step inside and follow the hallway through to the spacious living/dining room, beautifully appointed with a contemporary décor, and unwind with a cup of tea and leisurely seat on the sofa in front of the television, warming your toes with the glow of the woodburning stove in the cooler months. Stepping through the property, be charmed by the stylish kitchen, fitted with all of modern amenities necessary to prepare a heart-warming meal for the group, including a handy dishwasher so there's no time wasted doing the washing up! Gather together around the dining table to enjoy a relaxed meal, with picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and across Windermere to the fell beyond providing the perfect setting to toast a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday. Enjoy the scenic surroundings as the little ones run wild through the generous grounds, or toast marshmallows on the shared fire pit and watch for deer in the surrounding fields as the sun goes down. An additional seating space can be found in the shared front patio, where you can catch the sun's rays while dining alfresco. As the evening grows darker, head back inside and prepare for bed with a leisurely dip in the elegant freestanding bath, or if you'd prefer, climb the stairs to the second floor and enjoy a rejuvenating rinse in the contemporary en-suite walk-in shower adjoining the sumptuous king-size room. When sleep calls, you're spoilt for choice with three beautifully decorated bedrooms, a king-size, a double and a twin, offering a calming space to rest your head. After a refreshing night’s sleep in the king-size bed, open the curtains to enjoy a cup of tea in bed with a view of birds flying against the backdrop of the tree-covered fell beyond. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take the short stroll into the heart of Lakeside, home to the Lakes Aquarium with its fascinating selection of marine life and otters.

    It was very comfortable! Richard was extremely helpful and took good care of us. The second day, the whole ceiling & roof fell down Due to poor maintenance. We contacted the sykes team and owner and they responded after 4-5 hours. We still had a day left for our trip, we had to move out immediately. We have NOT A RECEIVED ANY REFUND. Neither did they relocated us! PATHETIC SERVICE! NEVER BOOKING WITH THIS WEBSITE AGAIN. Air bnb has been so helpful & i have had such good experiences this is just insane.

    It was a dream-like location with many positive aspects. However, one downside was that it was extremely cold, even with the radiators switched on. Despite all this, Richard, the person in charge, was truly amazing. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His exceptional customer service and dedication to our satisfaction made a significant impact on our experience.

    The views are amazing! The property was warm, clean and comfortable it had everything we needed. The owner has used quality furnishings and has displayed some lovely art work on the walls. The decor was nice however some areas were in need of a freshen up. The shower in the en-suite in the master bedroom was the only thing that could do with replacing. We received a welcome pack which could have had a little more thought put in to it, maybe some local produce instead of supermarket stuff, this would have complemented the high end finish and reflected the cost of the property. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. The log burner was a treat. Even though there is a garage near by selling logs, it would have been nice to have a starter pack available to buy when booking or a log store on site with an honesty box. The information folder was a little confusing as it had three sets of arrival and departure information sheets all of which said different things, maybe remove the old ones.
