It's a lovely cottage on a farm in the countryside with stunning views.
With 1 bedroom with a double bed and the other with 2 single beds, this cottage is well suited for couples and families alike. The interior is largely high end and might even be too fancy for some people (e.g. We visited the cottage with our 6 month old baby and were scared of staining the nice table cloth so removed it.). The cottage, and in particular the kitchen, is well kitted out; you'll find everything you need to cook a nice meal for the family (you'd only need to bring the food). The owners have also kindly provided a booklet with information about local shops, restaurants and other amenities. They even provided a cot and a high chair for our baby. Where there is room for improvement is the heating arrangement. We visited the cottage in November when it was already quite cold in Bootle. There were no radiators downstairs in the living room and kitchen, only a wood stove which you kept having to load with pre-chopped wood from just outside the cottage. I supposed, while this added to the country feel of the cottage, it could get annoying to keep having to go outside to get the wood and filling up the stove. Also, this meant that you had to be home and awake to keep it warm. In the mornings when we'd come down or when we'd return from a day out, it would be freezing and would take quite some time to warm up after starting the fire. There were radiators upstairs in the bedrooms but they were pre-set and timed so it would sometimes get quite cold there too. It would have been nice to be able to control the heat ourselves. However, after mentioning to Jim and Anne, the owners, that we would like more heat they were more than happy to help and gave us a portable radiator. This helped to some extent but of course that radiator could only be in 1 room at a time. I was most concerned about the heat because of our baby e.g. having to change him in a cold room. The owners, Jim and Anne, and their family are very nice people who were more than happy to help with any query and Jim and his daughter even gave us an informative tour of the farm! And they were very kind to us when we accidentally broke the glass of the wood stove while loading it with wood. I'm not sure if I'd return to the cottage with a baby in the winter but all in all, it was a very nice and cosy place to visit and we'd definitely recommend it.

Sykes responded to our requests promptly and efficiently.
However, there were a number of issues with the property that should be addressed given it is a 4 tick property. The main concern was the cleanliness. The lounge carpet is filthy. I accept it is a rural location but I have photos of the dirt and stains on the carpet. I really do recommend the carpet is cleaned or the flooring is replaced with slate or tile. The house was clean on the first inspection but as I moved furniture and items around it was apparent that it was not given a thorough clean eg underneath the sofa to retrieve toys or breadcrumbs under the marble chopping board. I thought the bathrooms were fantastic and clean. The other niggle was the main kitchen bin was broken so the clip lid was not working and had to be prised open and shut. I called and asked for it to be replaced. It was replaced with a bin with no lid which is equally inappropriate as this would then expose the contents and smell of the bin in the kitchen. I loved the location and the kitchen was well equipped but I do think the cleanliness and replacement of broken items took the polish off the property. Despite the above, my family and I had a wonderful holiday in the lakes and Sykes contributed to making this happen.

Great location,stunning views.
Plenty of space although no clothes storage /wardrobe in the twin bedded room for some reason (??). Spotlessly clean (credit to the cleaners), comfortable super king-sized bed too. Needs a few little details to be addressed-e.g. door stop behind front door needs replacing to stop damage to wall (plasterwork was already damaged) and same for the door on to the patio area. Noticed also that the kickboard along units below cooker was actually UNATTACHED and fell off easily-needs securing asap. Would also help to have privacy glass or curtain on the front door, especially at night when lights are on. Information leaflets- located in the understairs cupboard- need updating (some were from 2018!). Some damp stains on ceiling near some of the the Velux windows too which should be dealt with before serious damage to ceilings etc.Just sorting out those little things would make a huge difference and keep the property "fresh".Noted that previous renters have made similar comments but nothing seems to have been done to address identified issues - and at these prices, why not? Needs a little bit of TLC.

This is a fantastic cottage - newly converted semi-detached barn conversion.
It was perfect for us as we were grandparents staying with our adult children and 2 small grandchildren. The space was ideal for family with children and had 3 bathrooms and 3 comfortable bedrooms. The outdoor space had exceptional views and an area to enjoy them! There are suggestions for walks leaving from the cottage. The village of Staveley was charming and had a number of eateries, a brand new park for the kids, a brewery and the best gelato we have ever eater at Kimiâs. It was peaceful with no urban light pollution making it perfect for star gazing. We also enjoyed watching shearing activity at the working sheep farm next door. Activities in the Lakes are within east reach and there are plenty of pamphlets at the property with suggestions of things to do in sunny and inclement weather. Thank you to the owners who checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed! Thank you also for fitting us in at short notice when our camping experience with a 3 and a 1 year old went awry in the very wet weather!!!

The hosts here were the right balance of friendly and welcoming but left us to enjoy this lovely barn conversion.
We found a full tea tray with biscuits and a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. The beds were super comfy and there were extra blankets if needed. Bringing in the logs and lighting the wood burner was a ritual every evening and it was great to have a limitless supply. The views from the cottage are beautiful and the children loved seeing the horses in the adjacent field. Jim was very kind and showed the children the new lambs and new born calves whilst everyone enjoyed throwing sticks for the farm dogs who are very friendly. The location to the west of the lake district meant we enjoyed peace and quiet away from the crowds, visiting some of the more remote corners including Wast Water but still being only 30 minutes from Coniston. Being so near the coast too meant we could easily reach the beach for walks and the odd family game of football. Bootle is a lovely village with a well stocked shop. We enjoyed a great holiday here and would recommend it to anyone.
