    • Doug - Verified booking

      We booked this gorgeous property with my mam and dad (both in their 70s).

      So we had a total of 6 in the group....the property is amazing.... breathtaking views from the extensive veranda....the accuracy of the house description is spot on...the summerhouse room is huge, although storage space is somewhat limited....there is a utility room with larger American fridge freezer downstairs, so over the week you definitely get your steps in...The only other negative we could find from the kitchen space would be to have a larger dishwasher...as the house sleeps 6 then a normal sized dishwasher would be more practical than the half size one currently in place....The outdoor furniture is gorgeous and luckily the weather enabled us to use this a few times...the extended garden was superb for the dog to play although the walk to the top of the hill that starts alongside the house is fantastic...the views of Windermere from the stone seat on the top of the hill are breathtaking.... each room were very well suited, 2 with en suite. The middle bedroom had a plumbed in roll top bath which we never used and a separate bathroom at the end of the ground floor...the showers were walk in ones which was great for my folks and the mirrors were Bluetooth enabled which is a fancy touch...the only complaints we had from the rooms were that the twin room bathroom had a sewerage smell which we had seen from previous reviews. It wasn't a game changer but probably needs addressing...there is also a boiler that sits next to the front door, which seemed to be on a lot and when so was noisy especially at night. We just left the heating settings as we found them so this may be why the boiler was on a lot, the temperature was comfortable so thought it was pointless to tinker with them. On the positive side, my folks have travelled all over the world in every type of accommodation and they both agreed the beds were the comfiest they'd ever slept in....high praise!!!. Overall I have to say we were so happy to pay a little more than usual as you could really benefit the extra space....I did have to laugh that when I went downstairs to get some stuff from the larger fridge my watch would lose Bluetooth connection from my phone which highlighted the size of the property....We would certainly recommend this property to anyone....the negative points are minor in comparison to the beauty of the place and size of the property....

      The property’s location is stunning, and the garden space is beautiful.

      Overall the property is spacious and comfortable. As we were staying during the very hot weather we found the upstairs heat like a greenhouse. Fans or an air con unit might be helpful. We closed some of the blinds but keeping doors open wasn’t possible due to the number of midges/flys. The MAJOR issue was the situation with little/no running water!! The tap upstairs trickles, and after a very sweaty, sun cream day we were looking forward to using one of the showers…but no water again just a trickle. We arrived on a sat eve so it was Sunday when I tried to contact Lakelovers…after ringing all the numbers for 2 hours I gave up! Not even able to leave a voicemail message. We had to buy bottled water and ‘make do’. Eventually spoke with Steve on Monday who advised he’d been made aware that the boiler needed a new part?!? I was advised a plumber would try and fit the part that day…no response so I called again and spoke with Emma. No part was available but she advised how to ‘try and temp fix the issue’ - I tried but the noise was awful and it felt dangerous. I called again.. and eventually approx 7pm at night a plumber came. But not to fix it but to try and resolve it temporarily…without luck! We ‘laughed’ about it as the boiler is held together with a golf ball and two scouring sponges!! For the amount we paid, for the lack of assistance and for absolutely no offer to even refund or move us I will not be using this company again. We had our daughter staying on Monday but she had to leave Tuesday (my husbands birthday as well!), as the shower/water situation was too much for her to endure. It felt like glamping not luxury living. I do not understand why this property is being let out when there’s no water/water pressure. I’d like some form of compensation and I left a note to the cleaners as it became difficult to even clean dishes as the dishwasher was struggling too., and the kitchen tap had completely stopped working! Amazing property

      On arrival there was no travel cot but a quick call to heart of lakes and it was sorted within an hour.

      Excellent service. Location of the cottage is fantastic and the cost was amazing! Love the log burner, the power shower and underfloor heating (although we didnt use that, nice option though). Very happy there. The layout of the main bedroom is terrible. The bed is far too close to the base of the fireplace which meant a tripping and toe stubbing hazard. We covered it with a towel to prevent that. The bed would be better suited on the wall with the wardrobe and dresser. Also an upgrade to a king size or larger bed would finish off the room perfectly. Shower head wasn't clean, it was easy to clean but has just been overlooked. Damp/mould starting to appear on bathroom ceiling probably from people not opening the window or using the extractor fan. There was only one toilet roll on arrival, not even another in the toilet on the top floor. No tea and coffee on arrival but a cleaning pack instead. I'm not sure on the environmental impact of that.. even just a tea and coffee pack to last a day would be nice. Just something to say you're thinking of the guests and wishing them a nice stay rather than the "make sure you leave it clean" message I feel I got. 12pm checkout instead of 10am would be better also.

      We had a fantastic week in Windermere and this property made it a great experience for our stay.

      The property is everything you see in the pictures and more. The upstairs is a great space for relaxing and entertaining, we were lucky to have a week of sunshine and the space was warm and offered stunning views. The setting is stunning day or night. The underfloor heating was lovely, although we didn’t seem to get the benefit upstairs but the space soon warms up with the sun. The house was generally clean and tidy, under sofas were a bit grubby and cobwebs in the lights presumably after the winter but did not detract from enjoying the property. The gardens are amazing and the location is quiet and private. There is a footpath which goes past the garden which is a short sharp walk to an area for stunning panoramic views, there is a lovely bench to sit and enjoy. Plenty of local amenities are a short drive away with great food options. Tall Trees is a stunning property and we were lucky to find and use for a week. Would thoroughly recommend and is very generous space for 6 people (we were 2 adults and a baby plus four legged friend). If you are looking for a quiet private space with easy access to the lakes then this is a perfect property.
