Everything was amazing! We loved the property, location and vicinity to the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and nice touch with the milk and cookies.
Very easy to chat with host Tracy. House very conveniently located compared to Windermere Lake. Parking in street with permit parking a great way to leave the car to explore the area on buses and lake cruises. House wonderfully clean and tidy. Located close to shops and restaurants. Enjoyable quiet street.
In Bowness we were able to walk to everything: the pier to take a cruise to Lakeside, the jetty museum, The World of Beatrix Potter, the CO-OP for food supplies, excellent choices for restaurants, two enjoyable pubs, and hiking up Orrest Head to great views. It was nice to leave our car parked. Also took a day to drive up to Ullswater Lake, hike to the Aira Force waterfall and then enjoy a steamer boat ride to Pooley Bridge. Glad to have the parking permit or that could be a challenge.Merrylocks is central for adventures.
We had a great stay at this cottage in the Lake District. We took buses 555 and 599 daily to other towns in the area, and the cottage was conveniently located to everywhere we wanted to go. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Fantastic collection of cookware in the kitchen. We cooked in daily and had everything we needed to prepare family meals. Thank you for the welcome treats! That was such a thoughtful surprise!
We absolutely loved our time at the cottage it was home from home we didnât use the car once we were so close to everything it was spotless and the bed was really comfy and we had great weather and the little yard was a sun trap we would definitely recommend
We arrived at the VRBO at 3:45, as the site indicated that check in was at a 4:00. I checked the VRBO app multiple times during the day to get instructions on how to enter. None were provided on the VRBO site. We were unable to reach the owner and had 2 neighbors graciously help us by allowing us to jump on their wifi, as the wifi in that area is poor. After a good 30+ minutes of waiting for a response and leaving several messages via VRBO, the neighbor across the street came to help us and informed us to look for a specific email and the info would be there. We are traveling for 22 days throughout England. Navigating accommodations, train schedules, not to mention never having been in that area, there is a lot of emails and things to manage. Why would an owner use a separate way of communicating with patrons if while booking on VRBO she was communicating with me? Why would I think that I'd get instructions from a completely separate email? That make no sense to me. We had 1 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 3 days with no backup. We asked for an 1 extra roll and were informed we'd have to get our own if needed more. Paper towel in kitchen had 4 small sheets left, no back up. Two smoke detectors went off at 5:30 a.m. one morning. No back up batteries. I own 5 houses that I personally rent out. They are fully furnished, all well appointed and I wouldn't dream of leaving my guest without any backup for a 3 night stay. That's simply not cool.
Merry locks cottage is a beautiful cottage situated close to all amenities it felt very homely and welcoming would definatly recomend. We will be visiting again
We had a brilliant stay at merrylocks cottage, in a perfect location restaurants at the end of the road along with great pubs bars and shops all on your doorstep. The cottage itself is really lovely and extremely comfortable and immaculately clean everything you need for cooking, also they provide you with a parking permit which convenient as well. We both loved our stay and absolutely nothing bad to say at all! Just wonderful!!
This house was perfect location in centre of Bowness-on-Windermere! No faults with the house, lovely and clean with instructions for everything. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Cottage was gorgeous, very homely. The only complaint I had was it was too hot in the bedrooms, a 13.5 tog was just way too warm for this time of the year! Other than that we had a fab time and Tracey, (who looks over the property) was always very helpful if you needed anything. Definitely will return to this cottage in the near future. Thanks
Great location to local amenities and various places of interest. Comfortable, welcoming and clean with all necessities and more! Highly recommended for families with independent kids-toilet upstairs!
Lovely cottage in an amazing location just a few minutes from the town centre and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. House is well equipped and very cosy. Recommend!
Merrylocks was just perfect for our winter getaway in the Lakes - incredibly well located just a few minutes walk from shops and bars in Bowness and with all the amenities you could need in the house itself. Couldnât have asked for more, will hopefully be back one day soon!
