Cottage was all we expected and more.
The photoâs rarely, from web to actual, do the property justice and with the Kirkstone we found it was even better. The views are across countryside at the front of the property which were beautiful which always seemed to have sheep and so many weather conditions that no hour was the same. Was as spacious as we were expecting and everything looked new and clean-lovely wood burner too. It was easy to jump around the Lake District from here and the lanes are not too small either (mind you, weâre from Devon and the lanes here ARE small) but be prepared for lots of pools of water after heavy rainfall though this makes rivers then become full and more exciting. In terms of all that you want from the Lakes everything is within an easy car journey and Ambleside seems to be a gateway to most places. It was easily our favourite small town and had most of all we needed there. The nearest big Supermarket type shop is a 10+ mile journey away but if you shop âlocalâ in Ambleside there is plenty of smaller shops. Bit of a black spot for communication at the cottage, phones etc, so be prepared to be in contact when youâre back in range outside of the valleys but there is Wi-fi provided. All in all we had a great time (wife even did the Park Run in Ambleside) and we visited over 15 bodies of water in the week with a favourite being Grassmere and Rydal (next door to each other) followed closely by Tarn Hows in the sunshine and the beautiful Buttermere on a slightly overcast day. End of the week was more damp but didn't âdampenâ our enjoyment. Highs-Lakes and walks (oh, and the Gingerbread shop in Grassmere) Lows-Parking everywhere in the Lakes is at least £2 (spent about £10 a day on parking-take lots of £ coins) and, if there is a toilet, 20-30p for a Pee! Enjoyable WInter/Spring holiday with some great photoâs in the bag

The cottage is well located in Outgate, only 200 yards from a pub serving lovely food & beers.
Hawkshead & Ambleside, are a few minutes drive away, with the serene and beautiful Esthwaite Water, Near Sawry (& HillTop) & Wray Castle not much further. This side of Esthwaite Water is quieter for traffic too (without the crowds in Bowness & Windermere!!) It is in a 'complex' of several linked properties (looks like they were one long property) behind a gate with adequate parking for 2 cars and a sun terrace. Inside it was very clean, spacious & comfortable with very good central heating for our chilly stay & loads of storage. Excellent TV too (42" I think) unlike many other places which go for a minimum size. The only criticism is that I guess the previous occupants failed to mention the blocked drain in the shower which we found the next morning. This could have been cleared before we arrived (interesting to note that the cleaner didn't notice it either - no need for running water when cleaning a shower?) One easy improvement would have been a more comprehensive welcome pack on arrival. A few biscuits plus some coffee & tea sachets is minimal nowadays. A cottage in Dorset where we stayed last year provided milk, tea & coffee, a homemade cake, bottle of wine and flowers! Now that's a welcome pack! Sykes management have been very good (we did have a problem unrelated to this property and not caused by Sykes, and they did a good job in trying to sort it out).

Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.
That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

The cottage is sited in an excellent location and equipped with high quality appliances, fixtures and fittings which we have enjoyed very much.
We would like to thank the owner for providing them. We appreciate the lockdown situation so the place wasnât used for a long time. However, the cottage had NOT been cleaned properly at all. I had a severe asthma attack on the first night. After hoovering the whole house, the drum was full of dust and we sent a photograph to Sykes to show this. The kitchen was in a bit better condition thanks to the previous visitorâs cleaning (see their reviews). Therefore we are extremely disappointed with the cleaner who let us and the owner down! Itâs the first time we have stayed in a beautifully done cottage yet NOT clean. We thoroughly cleaned the cottage before our departure. If we had followed the holiday rule of leaving the place it was when we arrived, the two drums full of dust would have been sprayed back on. Imagine that! Therefore the cleaners should not rely on guests goodwill of cleaning week by week.

We were very pleased with this accommodation.
The house had clearly been freshly decorated following comments from previous occupants, and there were two clothes hangers provided for wet waterproofs which had also been mentioned. The central heating was great as was the log burner and there was plenty of hot water on demand for the shower. We struggled to use the BT Internet on site which is either good or bad depending on your point of view. I seemed to be able to log in successfully but was only receiving emails and Whatsapp but couldn't access the Internet. My wife couldn't log in at all. Something to think about for the future is the lack of opportunity for recycling which we were prepared to do. The only option was to put all the rubbishy, unsorted, into the large bin. Overall though, this is very well presented property in a great location between Ambleside and Hawkshead, giving great access to the western lakes.
