    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Kim - Verified booking

      Had an amazing week stay at the cottage.

      Despite having a 32 hour power cut, we still had a lovely time. We just bought extra logs, coal and candles for the evening, and went out walking and exploring during the day. The cottage itself is settled at the bottom of Helvellyn. We had rain most of the time and I was worried about the dogs and cleaning them, but as you come in the front door there is a little area to hang your wet coats etc and dry the dogs off. We took loads of dog towels, and made sure the carpet area in the lounge had towels on them for the first hour we were home. There were plenty of dishes, large juice glasses, a little box with bin liners dishwasher tablets and a sponge and a dishcloth. All the reviews I had read had said nothing was provided, so I bought my own, but took it all home again. The cottage heated up very quickly as well. The washing machine has a tumble dryer as well, which is not listed in appliances so that was a welcomed suprise. Just a few little things that would make this cottage perfect, it needs more teaspoons, wine glasses, and a dustpan and brush. We also noticed the large dinner plates do not fit in the dishwasher unless you lay them down flat. Also the one frying pan is too big for the electric rings. Two medium sized frying pans would be so much better. Also it would be useful if a box of candles and a torch were provided in case of a power cut. Luckily I bought two Yankee candles with me, but we had to go out and get a whole box of candles, the next day. Apart from that, the cottage was amazing. The photos on the website do not do the cottage justice, especially the size of the kitchen, and dining area. Just a little thought, the little dressing room could be used as a 3rd bedroom with a sofa bed. We would definitely recommend staying in this cottage. And Sykes dealt with our power cut with no internet or heating very efficiently. (Husband had to climb a hill to get signal to ring their emergency number) We are about to book our next stay with Sykes for 2026 for my 60th, but in a different location as we like to stay in difference places.

    • Michael - Verified booking

      We were disappointed to find that one bedroom in the property was spider infested with a slat on the bed broken.

      The floor was filthy under the beds and also under the bed in the ground floor adjoining room. Cobwebs were around the rooms and adjoining on-suit. Regarding comfort, it was hugely disappointing that the heating was set to come on at 7 am. This was the time we got up each day to engage in walking and other outdoor activities around the lakes. We therefore had to endure getting washed , dressed and fed in a very cold house every morning as the temperatures were cool. Realistically, the heating should come on earlier at this time of year (6am) I would suggest. I appreciate peoples preference for this may differ, but by day 4 of our stay I found it to be rather tiresome. Added to this fact we came home on our second day to NO HOT WATER. As we had had a full days walking we were extremely disappointed to say the least. We contacted Sykes but were unable to contact the owner not least because there is extremely poor phone signal. Owner called following day and organised plumber to get hot water back on. So this was not fixed till that evening for us to use, which meant no hot water and no heating that morning. Given the displeasure this caused throughout the week, I think it would be appropriate to receive some compensation commensurate to our discomfort. I look forward to your view on this ❓ So no hot water the following day

    • Kate - Verified booking

      The cottage is great, in particular the seating upstairs would suit any group configuration and having reliable wifi enabled us to contact each other and family not with us, with ease.

      We were delighted the property included towels! We'd like to feedback a couple of points which didn't work so well for us or could be made clearer in the cottage info. It didn't feel as though the cottage is in Rosthwaite altho the online info describes it as such. In fact we liked the fact there were good bus links, but this wasn't promoted.. There wasn't a proper folder with clear info in the cottage. The notice board was very bitty and confusing. Before arrival: We should have been told the cottage landline as it made our food delivery tricky as we didn't realise there was no mobile signal. It could be helpful to mention the back/side door is where the coat hooks and boot shelf are, as we didn't discover this straight away coming in the front door. The garden would benefit from a table and the chairs could be set out in the area of the garden which gets the sun. Although it was no bother to pick keys up before going to the cottage it was more complicated dropping them off at the end and we had not had to do that in a lot of years of cottage holidays! ( Most properties have a key safe system) We can't be the only family group with more than 2 cars? (The info could include the Borrowdale Hotel and their ability to help out with extra visiting cars).

    • Jacqualine - Verified booking

      We had a wonderful Christmas break at Thirlmere cottages.

      It was very cosy and comfortable especially considering the challenging weather and crazy winds. The views from the sitting room window are spectacular no matter what the weather is doing, especially with an open fire adding cheer. The cottage is very well equipped, with everything we needed to cook Christmas lunch and the beds are very comfy. Always a relief as a bad back sufferer The walks from the door are fabulous we hardly got the car out all week. The waterfalls just over the road at Wythburn Swirls were spectacular in full flood, and the Boxing day respite in the weather allowed us to walk up to Blea tarn. This might be some of the best views in the Lake District. We also appreciated the wealth of local books to plan walks for better weather in 2024 :) Just a few points that need addressing, provision needs to be made to defrost the freezer from time to time, and the dishwasher wasn't working as no salt and plus it looked rather dirty. Bathroom plug holes should also be cleaned regularly, they looked rather unpleasant. These were just a few issues to bring to your attention and certainly didn't spoil our stay. Finally we loved the visit from the local Herdwicks on our last afternoon that were being particularly truculent for the local farmer!!!!

    • Gordon - Verified booking

      This was a very pleasant cottage with a lovely little enclosed garden.

      There was plenty of space for two of us plus small dog. I am sure it would have been okay for four, but six might have been a bit of a push, especially in the rather small dining room. The location in the hamlet of Rosthwaite in the beautiful Borrowdale valley is wonderful. Disappointingly, unlike many of the rental properties we have visited, there was no welcome pack, not even a couple of tea bags and a drop of milk for a cuppa after a long journey. Remember to take your own, However the property has one very big drawback, the on-site parking. Although the instructions blithely say you can park in the adjoined garage, this is in fact a VERY tight space even for our relatively compact car, with stone walls very close indeed and severely restricting turning space to get in and out. I would only recommend this for drivers who are very confident to manoeuvre their vehicle in unfamiliar and intimidating tight spaces. There is however a small car park a short distance away if you are content to park off site. This should be made clearer on the property details rather than simply promising on site parking. Sadly for us continual worry about the parking rather marred what would otherwise have been a lovely holiday.
