The owners are clearly doing what they can with the layout of this property and we acknowledge that some things canât be improved due to the sloped ceilings etc.
The positives: Overall very clean, quirky accommodation with ample goods such as toilet rolls, cloths, washing up liquid, hand wash etc. Great location. Good instructions and no issues getting into the property. Negatives: We couldnât find anywhere to park to unload on arrival late at night. This was up and down all week, sometimes it was easy to park outside and other times we were way up the road. Needing to kneel in the bath for a shower. We accept that this is the only likely option in this property. The crockery and glasses looked like theyâd been hand washed by the previous guests and put away. Some werenât clean. We ended up leaving a day early as the beds were crippling us. We like a firm mattress but these were beyond a joke. I ended the holiday exhausted with a sore back, hips and shoulder. My partner really struggled with his back after the first night but by day 3 was in agony with his shoulder to the point he couldnât lift his arm or drive by the end of the week, which has righted itself since we got home. We tried putting blankets under the sheet for him which didnât do much, but a padded mattress topper may have resolved this. It really took the shine off our trip. The house feels like a compromise due to the parking and shower. Weâd have accepted this for the price if the beds were comfortable but sadly itâs unlikely that we will return here again.

On arrival there wasnât even a pint of milk for a coffee.
When we went upstairs on the first corner step it threw you off balance and into the corner- we think the step is broken. The bed nearest the window was like sleeping in a crisp packet because of the mattress protector it crackled every time you moved and thereâs black mould and torn paper underneath the window in the bedroom. Polystyrene tiles on the ceiling in the downstairs loo and boiler room, the door to the boiler room would not close so this could not contain a fire. Thereâs no warning sign in place to for the boiler room because as you go through you step up and my husband who is only 5â7â banged his head with some force the first time he went through. The extractor in the bathroom didnât work and only one light worked in there. There were 6 empty air fresheners doted around the property 4 of which were placed like ornaments on the shelving in the dining area. We know itâs an old property but it could be beautiful and thereâs so much wasted space, itâs all worn and very dated. We love the area and as you are aware normally love where we stay but we will be much more careful picking our next accommodation. We are aware that we could have contacted the Keswick office regarding these issues but we did not want to wait in for someone to come and we did not want a stranger in while we were out. The property should have been checked thoroughly before we arrived.

I would like to say how disappointed we both are.
What was meant to be a little weekend break, combined with a special family celebration nearby turned out to be a massive let-down. Upon arrival at the cottage we found a dehumidifier and a piece of paper with instructions, as well as a few mini dehumidifier boxes in the bedroom, please see pictures attached. Being asthmatic made it worse. Had I been aware of these damp issues, combined with a strong moldy damp smell, I would have not booked this cottage. We looked for alternatives but there was nothing to suit our needs as in no pet friendly local alternatives available at such short notice. Having made bookings with Sykes Cottages previously it is even more disappointing that this property slipped through the net and does not meet the usual high standards. It is fair to say though that apart from the damp issues, otherwise the cottage is really nice, with quality towels and bedding provided, a very cosy living room and a well equipped kitchen. The power of the electric shower is not great, however, it still works well enough. With the owners living above the property, you can hear them walking around but that is not a big problem. We bought some air freshers for the bedroom and used the dehumidifier as advised but still, it really spoilt our stay.

Little, but perfectly formed !
Despite the lack of onsite parking, (parking on the road outside was convenient and we never had any difficulty finding a space each evening) the place had- or was within easy walking distance of - everything we could have desired. We spent our evenings in the snug little lounge on the second floor but we missed the variety of Freeview stations we were used to, but that seemed to be due to the location (phone signals were a bit hit or miss, too) Kitchen facilities were as good as at home and the (very) local pub and restaurant served excellent meals. Access to buses was very convenient for two concessionary bus pass holders ! We loved it despite the three narrow staircases, and the bath was a real luxury compared with the customary shower. We'll be looking at Sykes Cottages again when we come to plan our holiday for 2024.

We had a wonderful week at Scots Pine - what a beautiful and interesting property, part of what was once a very grand house.
The house is spacious and fitted out to a high standard, clean, warm and with a very relaxed ambience. It's in a great location in a quiet area below Latrigg Fell but just a few minutes walk to the bustling town of Keswick. We were very lucky with the weather and stayed mostly local, walking up Latrigg Fell and Walla Crag and around Derwent Water to Friars Crag and Castle Crag. One small point - we managed to lock ourselves out on the night we arrived by mistaking the type of lock on the front door - it works like a yale lock mechanism, so when we went out to collect our luggage, we just closed the door behind us and couldn't get back in! Fortunately, after a few panicked phone calls we were able to borrow a master key from the property manager. It might be worth mentioning this detail on the key collection information.
