    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Kevin - Verified booking

      This property is not worth the rate it has been set at.

      Until the property owner sets about a maintenance plan, it really shouldn't be let out. From worn and slippery carpets on the stairs, to the strange electrical setup for the upstairs en-suite extractor fan, the non working shaver light, the broken toilet seat and the dangerous sharp towel rail valve sticking out by the doorway in the "en-suite" shower room. Add in the useless shower head in the "family" bathroom and the seized up toilet seat/lid. Then we get to cleanliness, very old cobwebs everywhere, black greasy marks on the carpets and disgusting dust/dirt combination under the sofa cushions that I had to lift after something out of my pocket dropped in the gap. The rear yard/parking area gates are very difficult to open and close and the very dead, dry plants in the yard limit how far you can reverse your car in, if you do not want to scratch it. The kitchen is adequately equipped and although the beds were a bit lumpy, they sufficed. A lot of the window latching mechanisms are worn/hanging off and as described by a previous occupant, there's a random hole/dent in the wall, halfway up one stair case. The location is ok, although the bin lorries arrived twice in the week at 5am to service the backs of the shops and businesses adjacent to the back road behind the property and during the longer days of summer, don't expect a lie in anyway, the curtains do not stop any light getting in. The property owner seriously need to up their game to get the full potential of the property. All in all the property is a fail compared to previous Sykes properties I have stayed in and one of those was considerably older than this one. To sum up, it's a NO from me!

      This house does not deserve the bad reviews it has had.

      It is a typical old Lakeland house - if you want modern this is not for you if you want a comfy well located warm original house this is for you The house was warm and well facilitated We stayed for Christmas and made dinner for 5 and it had everything apart from a carving knife Kitchen equipment works well. Outhouse great for shoes and coats 2 parking options was perfect and location great for a winter visit walking straight into town in a few seconds For us the lounge was small we have family who like to visit when we are in Windermere and it was tight but all other rooms a good size. Bathrooms were fine the new shower is perfect Bedrooms good but it is noisy in mornings as so close to town but you soon get used to it Quick positive fix in rooms would be black out curtains re street lights in winter and guessing sun in summer Also the cleaners need to do better! It was face value clean but sticky kitchen floor on arrival, dusty TV stand, bedside lights when moved were sticky on surface and carpets need a better hoover were some of the details that need addressing All in all we liked this house and it did us nicely for Christmas. Would book directly next time Sykes cottages were no use at all - I was worried reading the previous reviews as staying at Christmas with an 8 year old and 2 over 70’s but they did nothing to put my mind at rest I fail to see any benefit of booking through them and would not use them again

    • Helen - Verified booking

      The Burrows is a comfortable cottage very conveniently located near to all the shops and restaurants.

      There was parking at the rear of the property accessed via a very tight lane, which was tricky to park with a big car. We also had a parking permit provided but could never get a space on the road at the front of the property. The lounge was comfortable but the lamp wasn’t working so the lighting was quite poor. Both the bathroom and en-suite had mould growing in the corners. The kitchen was well equipped but dark and dingy in the basement and is quite dated, it could do with a bit of a refurbishment a change in the lighting would make it less dingy. Also the shelves in the corner unit were sticky with grease!! Urgh! The dining room tiled floor was very dirty and sticky too and left our feet and socks dirty. My main reason for rating my stay a 3 star was that the double bed in the front 1st floor bedroom was awful it creaked every time either myself or my husband moved and the mattress really needs replacing as do the very thin old pillows! Needless to say our sleep was not good during our stay. There was no ironing board and also every property we have ever rented has always provided a little welcome pack, milk, juice, bread etc. I have always found this a nice touch. There was nothing except a box with a few tea bags and coffee sachets. Whilst there is no obligation or expectation of this, it is the little touches that make your stay more welcoming and memorable.

    • Sarah - Verified booking

      Thankyou for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.

      It was perfect for our needs. The grandparents had downstairs with their own bedroom, bathroom and sitting room and my husband and I and our adult children had the upstairs bedrooms. The main lounge and kitchen diner were perfect for all of us. There was plenty of kitchen equipment and it was fantastic to have three bathrooms. The garden is lovely but unfortunately the weather was very wet for us so we didn’t get to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating and bbq. The Aga top made cooking for 6 difficult at times because you could only use two pans at a time and with my daughter being vegetarian and the rest of us eating meat meant cooking dinner took some planning, However the Aga itself was easy to use and having the electric oven/grill and microwave as well gave options. There was a strong smell of oil in the cupboard to the left of the Aga and if the kitchen door was closed overnight there was a strong smell in the kitchen in the morning. The position and views of the cottage are amazing and if we can, we would love to return to explore the area more. Your neighbour was friendly but she has her own strong opinions as to the parking and these differ from your instructions. Our cars seemed safe and we had no complaints from the farmer or other road users. We visited your parish church- Jesus Church on Sunday and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
