  As per previous listings, we arrived to a very cold property.

  The heating was set to off, and it took all night to heat up the property adequately. It felt as if the property hadn’t been heated for a while. The bedding felt cold that it almost felt damp. The house if beautiful and it’s such a shame little things like no welcome basket and no heating set your impression on arrival. Key safe is also very old and hard to read. It needs a new one. There was a Xmas gift left for the owners we assume, that had been there a while, as well as post. This should be removed by the maintenance and should not be there for guests to see. We would return, but I do have concerns about damp in the property due to its incredible sea front location. We didn’t use the lower bedroom, but it’s clearly damp with paint flaking off all round the patio door and the curtains had been pulled down at some point and put back up wonky. This room smelt damp, luckily we didn’t need to use it. The main lounge is superb. Views to die for, but again, visible damp round the bifold doors. We didn’t dare open these due to the weather. The sun room would also be lovely in summer, but far too windy and cold to use it. Damp signs again where paint is coming off on the landing. Such a lovely property it would be a shame that lack of heating is adding to the damp that being on the coast inevitably creates. We left 2 days early due to the weather but nothing to do with the property. A lot of investment has been spent, would be a shame if proper maintenance affected this

  The cottage was ok very simple but adequate based in a nice part of the village centre near the shop , pub, beach etc some great walks near by.

  We used it as a base to explore the area and had a great holiday visiting Barrow, Coniston, Ravenglass, Muncaster castle, St Bees and more the train station is 10 minutes away with free parking and goes to loads of places Although the cottage appears modern with the trendy grey decor etc It had the Most uncomfortable furniture I have ever sat on and the mattresses are really poor quality The Wi-Fi is none existent Smart tv doesn’t work on any channels only freeview The Lock on kitchen door doesn’t lock securely There’s nowhere in the bedroom to put anything no table or drawers No waste bin bags supplied Loo brush needs binning Parking space needs clarification in instructions as it not near the house it’s actually outside no34 no info in welcoming pack The local pub and fish shop only take cash Most of the things listed above are in the visitors book but not addressed It’s the little things that make the difference.

  A really great holiday home, inconspicuously nestled away in a row of terraced houses.

  We were really impressed with the house, the ground floor is all open plan and really nicely decorated. The bedrooms are also really nice, we found the beds really comfy, which is a rarity in holiday homes! The landing is tight upstairs, and the adjoining door between the 2 bedrooms was a bit awkward to manoeuvre around, but it was a minor quirk in what was overall a great place to stay. The TV downstairs didn't have any signal, I don't know if it had come disconnected from the aerial, or if this is just an issue with signal for that property. But we mainly used the property as a base and travelled around Cumbria. Unfortunately the village of Haverigg doesn't have a lot going for it. The beach isn't very exciting for kids, not much sand for digging and sandcastles. So I wouldn't expect to stay here with the intention of hanging out in Haverigg for a week, but the property itself was fantastic!

  We've wanted to stay here for a while as we've stayed at properties along the front before and we saw this property being renovated.

  It didn't disappoint! We loved the views and the birdwatching from "The Lookout" It's got really good fixtures, fittings and furnishings, very comfy sofa & chairs. well stocked kitchen tools, pots & pans. Great parking, right at the front of the property. A bit of constructive criticism would be to put the heating on the timer for when guests arrive, it was turned off and was very cold when we arrived, it took some heating up. Also just a little welcome pack of milk, coffee, tea and maybe a couple of biscuits for arrival would have been very welcoming as we had a rushed day and it would have been nice to catch our breath with a cuppa before going shopping. But the washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets were helpful as were the sponge/cloth, but no tea towel provided which was a shame. We will definitely be back as we had a great stay!

  I'm not happy at all because this accommodation was very worst, since I used last 20 years.

  First of all the toilets were extremely tiny and had very limited space to sit and move around. Everytime standing up head hited with the wall cabinet because of space. Also the flushes did not work most of the time. And after a while would eventually work. Second the bedrooms and beds were also extremely small we would not even fit on the beds they were children beds not even single beds. We also tried calling several times while we were staying in this accommodation and not even once picked up the phone or called us back. Furthermore we also went to the front office there but they told us to contact sykescottages as we booked from them. This is the worst cottages and company and do not recommend to book through them. Booking.com is far better.
