“The property was in a beautiful location very peaceful.”

The facilities were excellent for a large family group. The kitchen facilities were particularly good enabling us to cater for large numbers easily. The upstairs lounge was great for socialising and the bedroom and bathroom facilities were also very good. We came to High Lindeth for a family get together and the house delivered for us all

“Fabulous holiday with three generations including 4 teenagers!”

Huge lounge and space throughout the house for everyone to lose yourself if you wanted. The conversion of this old property was beautifully done and was always cosy with instant hot water. The kitchen was well equipped and we all now want an ice machine. We really did not want to leave and was the best family holiday ever.

“Our family stayed at High Lindeth for a week - what a pleasure !”

We love this property, it was so quirky. The bedrooms are SO comfortable, bathrooms very modern; instant hot water every time. The property was immaculately clean throughout. The layout of the large living room was so user friendly for 3 generations - the photos on the web site do not do this room justice - it is so much better. Also very well supplied with games, jigsaw, local maps etc. The kitchen is well equipped with good quality utensils, there was nothing that it lacked and we cooked all 7 nights. Ben, the logman, made 2 deliveries for us, each time within the hour. Sykes were very helpful when we had a power cut due to the windy storms and they kept us informed of the situation. The only thing I would have liked to see was the history of this lovely old house. There must be so many stories it could tell. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely comfortable property. We loved it. Elaine

“High Lindeth was exactly as expected and we loved its quirkiness with the upstairs lounge and the down stairs kitchen, the latter being at the other end of the long property.”

This reflected the cottage and barn conversion of years ago. Whilst the property was presentable we are not sure that the property had been deep cleaned. This was due to the fact we had additional and unwanted guests - Mice. Whilst we are country folk and live in a semi rural location so are faced with this pest regularly, we did not expect them in the lounge - the beige light coloured sofa had many mice dirts on it and it looked like they were nesting in it. In addition they had meals from Xmas presents around the tree. Similarly, in the kitchen where they ran amok and whilst we left very little uncovered, if we did, we paid the price. We had to clean the work surfaces every day and cover all cutlery at night to stop them going all over them and make sure everything was spotless. Would we rent the property again - Yes without hesitation.

Dear Mr Hooper, thank you for your comments. This is really helpful and we take feedback like this very seriously. The visitors are Voles and we have taken immediate action to deal with their unwanted presence. We have have taken measures and will check them every day and will continue until the problem stops. We really do look forward to welcoming you back to High Lindeth. Best wishes, the owner. Property Owner

“What a wonderful property in a fantastic location.”

We were a party of 8 on a much needed break. There is plenty of room to take yourself off and have your own space, very important for us. The dogs were in heaven, footpath at the side of the property if you don’t want to venture out with the car. We were unfortunate to catch the end of storm Arwen, trees down around and when we got there no electric on still. We had logs in the car so lit the fires and were assured it would come on in a couple of hours which it did. The owners couldn’t do enough, checking we were ok and supplying us with logs from the farm. This all added to the adventure!! Would not hesitate to book again, once again thank you to Emma and Christophe.

“High Lindeth is a beautiful house, in a beautiful setting.”

We stayed there with two dogs, who loved exploring the gardens - the enclosed garden off the kitchen was also very useful for night time toilet trips as it does it get very dark at night! The house was very clean, and met all my expectations. It’s very close to Bowness, a 5 mins drive - or a 30 min walk, although the walk is a little hilly. Luckily enough to be situated walking distance from Henrock which was definitely an added bonus! We were unable to locate any fuel for the fires upon arrival, which the welcome pack says there is, nor able to connect the smart TV to WiFi to access Netflix - these were our only hiccups though, and although we bought and left quite a bit of wood, we didn’t need it in the end as we had surprise glorious weather for our stay! High Lindeth is a really gorgeous place, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thanks!

“The images on your website are not up to date.”

The gardens whilst left to wilderness are borderline untidy! The sofas in the lounge are tired and uncomfortable. The kitchen is not sufficiently equipped-tin opener doesn’t work, frying pan not suitable for induction and selection of glasses, including tired plastic wine glasses were disappointing. On the plus side the beds were clean and comfortable and the bathrooms excellent. I just didn’t feel the finishing touches were to the standard we normally experience with Lakelovers. Invest a little in the property and it will be delightful. Also note the local pub is popular and you need to book!!

- Janet, September 2021

We would like to thank you for your comments. We are so pleased that you found the bedrooms comfortable and the bathrooms excellent. We are sorry to hear that the flower garden did not appeal to you. The garden is mowed once a week however the flower garden is left a little longer in support of the bees and the butterflies. It is of great importance to the owner that the kitchen is kept well equipped so we appreciate you bringing this to our attention for the owner to replenish accordingly. With regards to the photographs, we have taken your comments on board and will be looking into this. We would like to thank you on your feedback once again and we hope to welcome you back to High Lindeth again in the future! Property Owner

“Excellent location, great cottage for a family getaway.”

“We have stayed at this house a number of times, we love it.”

Such a spacious home where the whole family can sit together or have a bit of time out. It’s in an absolutely beautiful location and I really wish it was my own home! Couple of things to mention, there’s a wasp nest at the top of the back door in the living room, a lot of wasps getting inside. The fridge mechanism to open it keeps breaking. Also there’s a mouse living in the kitchen, we never saw it but it liked to have a nibble on things during the night. The only other thing is flies in the kitchen, we ended up buying fly spray to deal with them, when it’s such lovely weather you want the door open, but that unfortunately attracted so many flies! Obviously that’s not the owner of the properties fault! That sounds like I’m moaning a bit, but we really aren’t, we absolutely love this property and will 100% will be back again to stay.

- Jonathan, August 2021

It was so lovely to welcome you and your family back to High Lindeth and we are delighted to hear you love the property and surroundings as much as we do. We would like to thank you for bringing to our attention the wasp’s nest by the back door, since your feedback this has been removed for the benefit of future guests and apologies for the inconvenience this will have caused you during your holiday. Also since your departure the fridge door has been repaired and the Dormouse was safely caught and released back into the wild (away from the property). We do our very best to ensure the wildlife that resides in the surrounding countryside stay on the outside of the property and steps have been put into place to prevent any further intrusions of this nature. We do hope to welcome you all back again to High Lindeth in the not too distant future. Property Owner

“Stunning venue.”

High Lindeth is a beautiful house, very well equipped, comfortable, high end beds and bedding, extremely clean and hygienic. We were a party of 10 and there is plenty of room for everyone. Garden is a lovely play area for children and great fun for a game of rounders for all. Log fires made our evenings warm and relaxing. We would love to visit again.

“Absolutely Brilliant - it was a long awaited family reunion, after such a horrible COVID year.”

The house is in a supremely quiet location, yet so close to Bowness shops and restaurants. We were so lucky - we enjoyed uninterrupted perfect ☀️ on 6 days out of 7. The house is extremely comfortable and spacious, well equipped and all very clean. We enjoyed the garden too, it was great to watch the kestrels feeding their young in the nest in the gable end. The 4 children all had a fabulous time and didn’t want to leave! 2 tiny niggles - there was no advice on how to control the heating, other than the 2 thermostats - is there no timer? Also the key safe didn’t seem to work properly - several of us fiddled with it but couldn’t get it to lock when we left. But other than that, a wonderful holiday house.

“My family loved our stay at High Lindeth.”

We were able to bond as a family, playing games on the grass area, going for long walks around the rolling hills and ovall relax. The home is in a quiet, secluded area and close to the town centre. There are various of places to go out for lunch or the facilities in the home are great to cook and dine outside on tables in the grass area. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is that essentials such as tea, coffee, sugar, salt, oil and pepper are provided. Overall, we were sad to leave and would love to return next year.

“Lindeth cottage transformation from a farmhouse and barn to the level of standard of accommodation is a credit to the owners, absolutely stunning with tranquillity setting, but 5 min drive to the centre of Bowness.”

The bookings was straightforward with excellent service, and we will return.

“This was a fantastic property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.”

We would love to visit again. It felt so homely. The Team at Heart of the Lakes were so helpful too when we got lost trying to find the cottage, and they guided us over the phone until we found it. 10 out of 10.

Mrs Adlum Dec 2019

“Excellent property with ample space and parking for a large party.”

Property layout allowed for lots of privacy even in a big group. Kitchen very well equipped and with the open fire going in there, a big warm family space to play games at the very large table. Smart TV was a bonus and wifi better than expected.
