The Haven Reviews

Joanne
Kitchen equipment was poor, very basic, items incomplete, saucepan handles loose, no non stick pan, I had to buy one. An unbelievable amount of glasses but no cupboard or drawer space for food. Fridge and freezer were not the temperature they should have been even on the highest setting. The jacuzzi had to be vacated because it made the occupants have breathing issues and had a terrible smell, this had to be sorted. I contacted you on the Saturday, you said the owner would be out to fix it out no one came until Monday. Parking outside the property was fraught as COTTAGES.COM used the street as their own business carpark, parking not only company vehicles but privately owned vehicles every day. They left a company car permanently parked outside our property. The heating was supposed to come on at set times but it went off at 10am and we had to boost regularly to get it to come on later in the day. The jacuzzi maintenance arrived at the property on the morning we were leaving at approx 8.45am, filling the yard access to the gate with multiple obstructing pipes and hoses which meant we had to clamber over these to remove the rubbish bins from the property. The TV in the living room kept freezing and the Remote control was extremely ineffective. The bottom bed sheets on each bed were not the extra deep kind required so the corners just kept rolling off and had to be remade every day, the mattresses were very heavy and made the task even more cumbersome. There were no logs supplied despite it saying so in the listing. Pool playing was difficult in the space provided and the rooms did not contain enough seating for the whole party to sit together. Lovely house, clean, WiFi great, tv in games room awesome, location great except for parking issues, but poorly equipped kitchen and details listed above mean that for me it's not worth the premium price paid.
Gillian
We had a lovely family holiday. Everything we needed in the kitchen to make our meals the games room was amazing we didnt see the children they were there playing either snooker or games. The only issue we had was the rain pouring down over the front door due to a bad leek .There was also a leek in the top bedroom when it rained.
What a wonderful place to stay highly recommend The Haven great location, lovely decorated the photos dont do it justice. Will definitely book again.
The front top bedroom was quite cold. Water cascaded from the front gutter over the entrance doorway in the rain. This was also noisy when trying to sleep. There was no starter pack provided for the wood burner. We struggled a little with the heating timer and it seemed to come on at odd times. Everything else was really good, very well equipped kitchen plenty of towels and lots of space. we really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table.
Liked the property and great location but for the price there were too many things wrong. The hot tub was tiny and cold on arrival and couldnt be used until the following day. No welcome information about how to use things, what we needed to do when we left etc. some of the bedding and towels were dirty on arrival, I called to asked for replacements and they happily Said they would send clean ones but they didnt turn up for two days. We had a leak through the ceiling in one of the main bedrooms with water rolling down the walls. The hot tub is tiny for the size of the apartment and the garden furniture although we didnt use it was broken. Finally the walls are literally paper thin. Not sure if this used to be one house with next door but I could hear every word being spoken by the people in the adjoining apartments! Was also advised we would get some compensation for our issues but nothing yet
Beautiful house luxury surroundings made our family reunion superb! Thank you
Jessie
We had a great stay! Really comfortable and clean, mostly had everything we needed but just a few things that would've helped. A full length mirror, the front bedroom doesn't have a mirror at all. A caffetier and a tea pot would be super helpful. Loved that everyone had a hairdryer, all the communication was helpful and the booklet with local walks was very handy. Thank you.
Sohail
We booked The Haven for a week stay in Lake District . The House was perfect for our group with homely feelings. We loved every moment there from enjoyment at meals on kitchen table to relaxing evenings in TV room and hot tab after day outings. Definitely will book via Sykes in future.
A beautiful property exactly as advertised. It made a great base for our group of girls for a reunionwedding party. All of us would return to The Haven for a longer stay in the future.
Dennis
Really nice house all the party enjoyed stay would definitely go back
Charlotte
Fabulous house, lots of space and finished to a high quality. Little things which would make a big difference would be some sharper kitchen knives and more serving dishes. We would definitely recommend this property.
Robert
Beautiful property with quality fixtures & fittings. Warm & cosy house with very comfortable beds with TVs in every bedroom. Plenty of fluffy towels, toiletries and hot water. Lots of hanging space in wardrobes and for coats and boots in hallway & kitchen. Gamescinema room was a lovely feature especially for the children and had additional storage and an extra toilet. The hot tub proved to be very popular. The Haven is in an excellent location for shops & restaurants. Parking is always at a premium in Windermere but we generally managed to park near to the house. As we were the first guests in the property there were some teething problems but these were quickly resolved by the owner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 5 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 11 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 14 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 18 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 20 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 24 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
