    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Victoria - Verified booking

      The property really needs more attention to detail.

      This was not a cheap place to stay and I think perhaps because it was the busy summer period standards slipped. There were spiders everywhere. Every. Where. Infested. The cobwebs were so thick in places it was like candyfloss. We had to hoover up about 80 spiders in the first 4 days and they were still appearing after that. The place seems to be riddled with them. Even after hoovering we kept discovering webs. Spiders in every corner is not exactly relaxing. The wooden doors for each room don't help as the backs of them just seem to have webs in all the gaps. We also noticed a great deal of webs under the beds when we were checking around before leaving which was rather disconcerting! We also read in the guest book about welcome packs that previous guests had received and we had nothing like that. Again it could be due to the rush for turnover in the summer but standards should never slip. Upon arrival the dining room table had crumbs across it, the kitchen floor had bits on it and combined with the spiders in the corner of every room it wasn't the greatest start. First impressions count and we were on the back foot straight away. The curtains are ridiculously light, the sun was waking us all up and we had to try to hang throws over the curtains to try and block out the light. Who had the idea to get white curtains? Quite odd. The lower stairs are extremely noisy, good luck trying to go downstairs in the morning for a cup of tea without waking your family or friends. We have stayed in the Lake District many times and this is the most disappointed we have been with our accommodation. It did not meet expectations and it was nice to get home and not have to have eyes scanning the ceilings for spiders all the time!

    • Eleanor - Verified booking

      We were moved to this cottage last minute the evening before our holiday by Sykes who suddenly cancelled our original booking.

      Only 3 alternative options were given, the other 2 being further from the lake district so not suitable. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful over the phone and the location in the centre of town was great, and we were grateful they accepted the last minute booking. It had a large kitchen, was clean and warm and a visitor permit for parking was provided. It worked well as a base for exploring the Lakes and isn't too far from Windermere and Ambleside. Our main issue was that this was not an equivalent cottage to the one we had originally booked (this was entirely Sykes doing and not the owner's who had given accurate details when we checked their listing so please don't hesitate to book this cottage if it meets your requirements). We had booked a 2 bedroom pet friendly cottage that slept 4 adults, with large living room and views, and had made sure this had wifi which my partner needed to be able to work, and also had a washing machine and dishwasher. Unfortunately the cottage we were moved to had none of these and Sykes suggesting this was an equivalent alternative for the same price I feel was very dishonest. My partner ended up having to leave early due to the lack of wifi and phone signal and there was only one bedroom and one bed, which would have been a bit of a squeeze if 4 adults had been coming! We have still had no response/apology or partial refund from Sykes and I would be very hesitant to book with them again after this experience.

    • Kim - Verified booking

      Nice property but few major issues.

      Firstly no batteries in the smoke alarms which is a major health and safety issue which needs addressing. The alarms are hard wired but no battery in it makes it useless if power fails. This is a breach on health and safety and must be sorted. From reading the guest book it wasn’t a one off people had also commented about no batteries in the smoke alarms. All 3 on all levels of the property the smoke alarm draw was open and no battery. We requested the high chair to be available which it was but it was disgusting, very old wobbly and unsafe to leave a child in and the cushions were dirty and mouldy. For £15 the owners could buy a plastic wipe clean one. They’d be better off saying there wasn’t one. We were told off very rudely from a man about our parked car, nowhere in the property does it say where we can and can’t park our cars. The property sleeps 6 adults so they should expect 3 cars which is does but no idea on where to park. The check in time was very late 5pm most places are 3pm. This was very late and felt you missed half a days holiday, with having a young child 5pm was far too late to get him his dinner. Then to be out by 9am on day of departure again losing most the day. 10am is normal.

    • Alexandra - Verified booking

      This is a really lovely house with so much potential to be a gem.

      It is in a peaceful location and well placed for exploring the lakes. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the property left much to be desired. We were greeted by a large sign telling us to remove our shoes, but one look at the horribly stained living room carpet suggested that might not be such a good idea. We had to wash everything in the kitchen before using it, as it was covered in a layer of grease. The whole house was in need of a deep clean and the beds would benefit from mattress protectors (the stains that we found directly under our sheets when we removed them before leaving were not pleasant). The garden is nice, but again in need of attention. We would love to return to this property, but would expect much more in terms of cleanliness for the price. Extra touches like a welcome basket and hand soaps in both bathrooms would have made all the difference.

    • Kimberley - Verified booking

      The property is in a great location to access Kendal for the high street and other facilities.

      However we would recommend accessing from Kendal College as it is easier to get too. When we arrived we were unimpressed there was a pizza in the freezer and the fridge itself was not clean and the owner has no cleaning facilities such as spray and bleach for you to clean in case you need to therefore we had to use washing up liquid. The sink also was dirty and smelled which we had to clean. I would recommend bringing your own bed sheets and duvet cover and pillow as these did not look clean. We enjoyed visiting Lake District and went to Old Man Coniston, Cathedral Cave, Rydal Cave, Aira Force, lots of national trust and many more places. I would recommend to the owner to spend more time cleaning, give cleaning stuff to visitors ie kitchen spray, bleach, make the place more welcoming such as a welcome basket, more mugs for drinks, more clear glasses.
