Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests reported the cottage as clean and well-kept, with one account of cleanliness issues. The positive remarks suggest a generally high standard of cleanliness, although the isolated complaint indicates room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to the village centre, railway station, and proximity to local attractions. It is considered an ideal base for exploring the area, contributing to a high score.
The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of comfy furnishings and beds. However, one review noted insufficient seating and dining space for larger parties, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities like the games room were appreciated, but there were reports of maintenance issues such as broken chairs and missing game pieces. While the facilities are generally good, these issues suggest a need for better upkeep.
Guests frequently mentioned the welcome hamper and other considerate touches, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, the score reflects this variability.

It was a great location for exploring the area and the station was a bonus. We really liked the cottage but felt the space was too tight in the sitting room to accommodate 7 adults comfortable. This was the same with the dinning area. The lights in the bedroom next to the bathroom did not work and there seemed to be a bedside cupboard missing. Kitchen cupboards were not as clean as we would expect. Cobwebs between fridge and cupboard. Baking trays & toast rack would have been useful. These comments seem " picky" but we are used to exceptional standards at other Sykes cottages we have stayed in.

The property owner was really welcoming and helpful. Great location for access to south Lakes. Our girls especially enjoyed having the upstairs bedroom and bathroom to themselves.
