  We LOVED this property !

  We spent a week here and it was exactly what we needed. we are a family of 4 and we had plenty of room and space for all of us. The main areas like the kitchen, dining and living room had loads of space to sit and relax. Having roku on the tv was great for winding down in the evening. The location is also perfect for tourists to the area, as its a 5 minute walk into the middle of Kendal. There was plenty of space to keep our clothes. You can really tell that the owner tried to provide as many of the important things as possible to make it convenient. Also the bathroom was wonderful, warm and the bath tub is humongous! My only gripe with the property is that the 2 larger beds were really hard to sleep on. The mattresses were very solid, and we kept waking up with sore ribs/back. The single bed was perfectly normal. I hate to even mention it, and it doesn't overshadow our experience staying here. If it weren't for the mattresses, this is the perfect property for anyone to stay in! and we will definitely consider this for future visits.

  We had a wonderful time.

  The cottage is beautiful and very well kept, in fact it exceeded our expectations. It would have been nice, though, if more had been mentioned in the blurb about the very low ceilings, particularly the area between the kitchen and the corridor, and also the central ceiling beam in the lounge. We had quite a few bumped heads! So really the property is better suited to shorter people, ie no more than 5'5". But this is a quibble really. We loved it, despite the bumped heads! One thing we should mention; on the day of departure, we noticed some minor dripping from the low ceiling onto the floor at the junction/corner of the kitchen passageway and main entrance corridor. We couldn't work out where it was dripping from. Given the age of the property, it could be tracking from anywhere. Loose or missing rooftile? We couldn't see any corresponding dripping on first floor. There had been heavy rain the night before so maybe that was the cause. It should definitely be looked at/sorted out though. Many thanks

  This was our third visit to Laal Field House.

  We hope to get back again next year unless it is (as usual) fully booked. We love the house, its size, garden, location ... everything. A couple of comments / negatives from this year. The house does need a tidy up in a couple of places - Small patch of wallpaper hanging off the ceiling in the living room, mould spots on the ceiling of the main bathroom. The refuse bin. We were five adults, one toddler and one baby. The bin was almost entirely full when we arrived on Friday. It was emptied on Tuesday but we had almost entirely filled it with refuse and nappies by the time we left on the following Friday. Could really do with a larger refuse bin. Only one front door key this year - to be used by the two families at the house ! - Contacted Sykes, somewhat unhelpful and possibly patronising (in my opinion) response. And no high chair this year (we were provided with a high chair on previous visits) The house really does have every facility ... except a high chair.

  Fabulous well equipped property.

  Spotlessly clean with comfy beds and our dog loved the huge secure garden. We had thought that the nearby Premier Inn would have impacted on privacy but there was no noise at all and it didn’t really overlook the garden. We did have a couple of small issues which were dealt with and the lovely owner even phoned and then visited to check everything was OK. A couple of suggestions which are in no way complaints but would have been appreciated would be a coffee machine and a garden parasol to provide some shade. There were cafetières but I am a total coffee snob and love my morning coffee. If there was a garden parasol stored away we didn’t see it, however, the property was so big we may have missed it! Lastly, a wifi repeater might improve the signal to the end bedroom. The biggest issue is that we want to book to come back and there looks to be no availability!!!

  This is a lovely, spacious, well-equipped cottage in a great location.

  There is a very large, but private, outdoor area and yet it is centrally placed in Keswick with everything within walking distance. The new Premier Inn does not really impinge on you at all. However during my stay our dog became entangled in the tv wires and pulled the television off the stand, smashing the screen. The tv was replaced quite quickly but it was only then when the stand was pushed back to the wall that I realised that it had been pulled away and left leaving wires trailing across the floor. This had been done because the tv is not large enough for the room and had not been pushed back leaving the room in a dangerous state. The cleaners should make sure the cottage is safe if the previous guests do not do so. This accident could have been a lot worse if a child had been involved.
