Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with numerous guests highlighting its immaculate condition. There is a single mention of an intermittent drain smell, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
The location is frequently praised for its stunning views and ideal positioning for exploring the Lake District. The quiet, tranquil setting is appreciated, with easy access to local attractions and walks.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds extremely comfortable and the cottage cosy. The heated floors and spacious rooms contribute to the overall comfort of the stay.
Facilities are generally regarded as excellent, including a well-equipped kitchen and luxurious hot tub. However, there are minor comments about erratic heating and a challenging hob, which slightly affect the score.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches, such as welcome hampers with treats like Prosecco and artisan bread. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The views are amazing, hot tub went down well with everyone and the welcome basket was greatly appreciated. We would recommend.

It was warm and cosy but very spacious for our family of five. Lovely sofas,comfortable beds and good quality towels and bedding.The hot tub towels and flip flops were a thoughtful addition. Our host left the key inside for us as we arrived late in the evening so the groceries provided for us were a very welcomed surprise .The cottage was in a superb area with plenty of local walks but still only a short drive to all the Lake District has to offer. It was the first time our family had visited this area of the UK but we will certainly return for future holidays. We have booked many different properties with Sykes and we are never disappointed. Highly rated.

The hot tub was excellent. The welcome basket, was the best we every had in the UK and most appreciative to get things started. Our host Lindsay, was very special And explained everything to us on arrival. We hope to go back some day. We are on holiday from Canada with our son and his wife to celebrate my 80th birthday and his 50th
