What our customers say about their holidays

  Although the location of this property is fantastic, we do not recommend it as somewhere to stay on holiday.

  Poorly equipped with miss-matched cutlery, few plates, bowls, mugs etc. just enough for the amount of people which isn’t great! Most importantly no blind or curtain on widow in the double bedroom upstairs- the neighbours over the road could literally watch us sleeping (it is a velux window that is below the height of the over road neighbours bedroom so they can literally look down into the room)!!!! Not to mention having nothing to block the light when we were trying to sleep! The upstairs shower is duct taped to the floor so very wobbly and the downstairs shower leaks into the hallway to a huge extent and as it is tiled flooring makes a huge safety issue- our children slipped a couple of times despite us mopping after every shower. The double bed upstairs is also very uncomfortable and lumpy! The owners clearly do not care about the property or about the comfort of the people staying there, it’s a shame as the layout is great and lovely location. Also the property was not in a clean state when we arrived. There was so so much dog hair from previous stays- there were literally hair balls in the corners of the living room and we had to retrieve a toy from under the sofa- I wish we left it there as it was covered in dust and hair! There was cutlery in the draw that still had oil and what we think was honey on so we then had to wash everything to make sure it was clean enough to use. Sorry, we cannot recommend this property and hope Sykes contact the owner regarding the lack of privacy/ blinds in the double room upstairs as well as the safety issues regarding both showers.

  Property was lovely and spacious very modern an felt homely.

  It was a lovely village to stay in. We did find the oven /microwave and fridge not very clean. The shower in the downstairs bathroom when using the top shower head causes the water to go out under the door into the hallway. In the kitchen there was little cutlery 4 forks and 1 dessert spoon between 6 of us. The patio door (left side) key when used to unlock had snapped. Being a dog owner I found it surprising there were no gate/fence around the property to keep the dog in. A blind in the upstairs double bedroom would also benefit from a blind in the velux window. Also had trouble connecting to the WIFI password was incorrect when enter from the back of the router and there were a couple passwords written in the comment book which we struggled to read if some where capital letters/numbers. We tried to call mobile number thats was left which was not recognised. I think if these little things were addressed it would have been a more pleasurable stay.

  The caravan was lovely nice and clean and comfortable with a lovely leather recliner which really added to the experience for me personally.

  some nice welcome touches including a bottle of wine was really appreciated. the broadband advertised wanted to charge you when inputting the code that maybe one for the owners to review but it didn’t bother me as have plenty of data on phone. we had our dog with us who loves his caravans and I really appreciate the owners adding a gate at short notice thank you. the location is a fantastic base for Keswick and cockermouth if you want to drive 10 mins. there is nothing on the doorstep at all apart from a local social club but lovely for a nice peaceful escape. Only one potential change would be to see if you ca. put van in a sunnier location in the park as the veranda was shaded bu big hill and trees yet others has the sun all day. There seemed to be spaces and I think a south facing veranda would massively enhance the holiday experience. overall lovely holiday thank you

  Beautiful cottage in a great location with restaurants and pubs in easy reach after a hard days walking.

  The cottage is very well equipped with all the tools necessary for comfort and cooking if you need to. There is a drying cabinet for wet clothes and boots which came in very handy after we experienced some very wet days and marshy ground on the days out walking. The dogs had all the comfort of home, we took their own bed and lots of throws for the furniture and they settled in very well. Beware that there are sheep nearby in the field which is fenced off and the 10 acre grounds are pretty and wild with lots of nettles that caused some feet irritation so take piriton for the dog/s for the walk in the gardens. All in all a lovely experience, we were left to do our own thing by the host and we had a lovely time. We would not hesitate to return and recommend the location highly for anyone seeking a holiday in a stunning location.

  Lovely bright, airy cottage for a home from home stay.

  Great location for exploring the Lake District. The kitchen has everything you need, beds and pillows comfy, great pressure in the showers and nice big towels. Drying cupboard is a great bonus so you don't have to think about your boots and coats being damp for the next day! Outside table and chairs and umbrella if you get the weather for alfresco dining (luckily, we did) Sofas comfy but did tend to slip off when relaxing!! The gardens are lovely for a stroll and very picturesque, a great grass area for playing games if you have the energy after exploring the area! If we were to be very picky we would say the addition of a couple of board games would be a bonus. We are hoping to return to the area again and would have no hesitation on staying here again, thank you.
