“My family and I thoroughly enjoyed are stay at Tarn Hows, just a pity we weren't staying for longer.”

- Darren, April 2022

“On arrival we found this property very dusty, dinning room table and worktop in kitchen crumbs everywhere, floor in the kitchen/dining room, towel rail in bathroom, windows all dirty, Cobwebs around the windows, we had to wash some of the towels that had been left as they smelt damp, our daughter slept in the front bedroom, we had to swap the quit with one on the bunks beds as this also smelt damp and not freshly washed.”

The evenings we still warm and pleasant we could not use the outside seating as the cushions had been locked in the shed. No storage in the bedroom with the double be so we had to use the wardrobe in the middle room, which would have been inconvenient if it was been used. Blind broke in the middle bedroom. We noticed on the 2nd day that the lounge window was not securely closed which meant it could have been open from the outside. Sofas in the lounge very uncomfortable, door does not open fully at there is a glass coffee table behind it. Sofa in the dinning room much for comfortable. There is no shower mat in the bath, which is an accident waiting to happen as the bath gets very slippery when having a shower. Coffee/Sugar left in the jars had all dried up, would have been nice to have had a pint of milk left so we could have made a drink on arrival. Saucepans and cheese grate showing signs of rust. Overall we feel that this was very much over priced as there is a cottage across the road at half the price and a lot nicer. We never had any problems parking and the town centre was a 10 min walk.

“The property was clean and had all you need.”

We wouldn’t go back to this particular property, parking was nightmare and we had to park a couple of streets away. Not good as my husband has mobility issues. The settee needs be taken out of the dinning room to give more space, and the table behind the lounge door needs moving so the door opens properly.

“The house was spotless the interior was beautifully decorated and modern which was admired by us all.”

The beds were comfy a great night's sleep accomplished. We took our dog and there was an enclosed back yard for him to potter around. Near to bowness village/town also near to Ambleside. We took a boat trip from Bowness to Ambleside dogs can go for free. Would definitely book again the house sleeps 8 we had a great time.

“We had an amazing holiday from the cottage to the scenery.”

So much to do and see for the adults and children alike. We took advantage of the 50% of meals. We were out all day, every day taking advantage of the amazing weather we had. The park and children's playground was only 2 minutes away. We also pre booked a Tesco grocery order which arrived an hour after we did. Fab service all round.

“The cottage was clean and plenty of utensils.”

No broom or dustpan and brush available (which waa rectified after a phone call) . Only 5 dishwasher tablets and small amount of washing up liquid left. No bin liners. We would usually expect a pint of milk to be left for arrival. The house seemed to be completed in a hurry-taps on bath wrong way round. Bathroom door kept getting stuck and difficult to open/close. Kitchen windows painted shut. Good location.

- Helen, July 2020
Phil January 2020

“The house was brilliant and exceeded expectations.”

Loved the kitchen and dining area, great to have everyone around chatting and still be able to cook whilst being sociable. Shop at end of the road and Windermere only 5-10 minute walk. All seven guest went home raving about the property.
