    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Anita - Verified booking

      Fabulous cottage in a perfect location.

      Just a couple of observations from us (not complaints but we feel they would improve the overall experience of Poppy's Cottage). This was the most expensive cottage we have ever rented in the Lake District so it needs to present itself accordingly please:- 1. Towels - larger bath towels (sheets) would be lovely - the bath towels supplied only just cover the bare necessities so functional but not luxury. I was at fear of exposing myself to my brother-in-law which would have been a pretty scary experience for him :). 2. Kitchen towel (only 1?) and tea towels (2). We like to cook at home when we are away so could have done with a few more towels and tea towels. 3. Very disappointed to have to buy washing tablets and fabric conditioner (none supplied), washing up liquid, toilet cleaner, etc. There were a few dishwasher tablets but we are used to having these items provided and only topping them up if needs be. We are also used to leaving behind anything that we have bought for the next visitor. We took everything that we had purchased home with us on this occasion. It gave the impression that the cottage was all about show and not about providing the ultimate cottage experience. 4. The second bedroom makes use of a storage cupboard on the landing as there is absolutely no space for anything in the room. This in itself is not a huge problem (the photos are deceptive on the size of the room to be honest), however, a light in the cupboard would have been helpful as my sister spent ages with a torch in the cupboard looking for her clothes!! 5. The sofas are not comfortable - after a long day climbing Helvellyn, etc, when you do decide to stay in for an evening it would be have been nice to have comfortable sofas (minimally footstools provided). There were 4 of us so we were somewhat perched which wasn't great. 6. The outside 'laundry/drying' room was a god send - perfect for all of our walking equipment and great to have a heater in there to dry out the wet clothing. 7. TV services were excellent - great to have internet TV with iPlayer, Netflix, etc. Overall, I would give this cottage 9/10 - if the owner just went a little bit further it could so easily be a 10 and we would definitely be back!

      This was our much awaited return visit to Bakers rest, and upon return unfortunately things were not as good this time.

      Upon arrival the wifi wasn't working so we contacted the office numerous times to try and rectify the situation but it didn't resolve it! My brother runs his own company and was having to spend a little more time on the phone unfortunately, we were asked to put the key in the key lock in case the maintenance team had to come out, and upon return we really struggled to reopen the box as the keyring had jarred the box, we managed the next day to retrieve the key but if both had been in there we'd of been locked out so maybe remove the tag from the one set of keys. Also the cleanliness wasn't as good as our previous visit, sticky table surfaces, we had to wipe them down, marks down the side of the sofa, there were dried food under the dining room table and some parts of the apartment are looking tired, something needs to be done about the leaky radiator in the hallway too as its staining the carpet. Also there were clothes left behind from a previous guest in one of the drawers in the bedroom opposite the kitchen, they are still there, you may wish to remove them. This was a much awaited return but we left a little disappointed and in the times that we are living in at the moment cleanliness should be top priority. I was the organiser of our family getaway and I feel the responsibility of how efficient things are, I am leaving this feedback for you to try and improve the situation for future guests. Mrs Anslow

    • Graham - Verified booking

      This is a lovely cottage placed right in the very heart of Grasmere.

      The owner has renovated Poppy's Cottage to a very high spec indeed and there is everything you could possibly need and then some. Tastefully decorated throughout and having the benefit of 2 bathrooms ( a large family and an en suite). The cottage is very comfortable and has only just been renovated and put on the holiday market so is all shiny and new and far superior to some cottages we have experienced. The TV is also a proper 4k large unit, so we got our evening 'strictly takes 2' fix with Zoe in style. We also had pretty good weather too, not bad for October!. The annex houses the washer/dryer and a thoughtfully placed panel heater and hooks are provided to dry your wet walking gear. There are numerous great walks right from the door and we barely used the car all week....parking was no issue due to the parking permit allowing us to park the car 24/7 in a nearby car park about 100 yards away, you are allowed to unload right outside the door too which is useful. We turned up on the first Friday of the month which is market day, but the stall holders helped us gain access and then we had some nice produce to buy right on the doorstep!. Sykes Cottages who handle this property were superb from start to finish, very helpful and friendly staff making this a lovely holiday experience. We would highly recommend both Sykes and this super Cottage.

    • Sylvia - Verified booking

      You asked me for feedback Unfortunately not impressed with Bakers Rest cottage 972230.

      it was advertised with a washing machine I was contacted on arrival to say it was out of order and to arrange an engineer to visit to repair. We are an elderly couple and where isolating due to covid we did not want workmen in .I don't believe this could not be done before we arrived. Secondly anyone looking at the lounge photo would think the furniture was as shown, can I suggest that a member of your team go to this cottage sit on the settee for an hour or two. The big cushions for the backrest continually crumpled into a heap and did not stay upright as on the photo they were grossly uncomfortable. I wouldn't give this suit to charity. I was relieved that the rest of my family could not make it due to the poor seating. I understand Grasmere is very popular but this cottage is not worth the price. There was no description regarding the very low ceilings in the upper two bedrooms and ensuite ok for 5 foot 6in adults or children, some indication on the height would have been useful. Please try to be more descriptive when selling cottage rentals it is what encourages people to rebook. I hope my review is put on your website so holidaymakers have a true picture of what they are renting. S.Harrison

      Poppy's cottage is newly refurbished and it is absolutely charming!

      They really did it right - the attention to detail is stunning. Every need has been taken care of from laundry detergent to cookies and tea to ensuite bathrooms. The combination of history and modern conveniences is exactly what I was looking for. I booked late and couldn't believe my luck in finding this wonderful cottage. I had been combing through MANY pictures when I found Poppy's Cottage. It turns out that it had only just come on the market so I just lucked out. This cottage will book up. Upon arrival, I found pamphlets, brochures and maps to help me plan my trip, next to the tea and cookies. The owners were perfect hosts and Sykes Cottage personnel were very helpful. I could not have asked for anything better. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located in the center of town. I was so happy to wake up and come home each day to spend time in this beautiful cottage. I came all the way to the Lake District from California, USA. My trip was everything I had hoped for and more (and I'm fussy). Thank you to Jo and Andrew for making one of my bucket list trips a dream come true.
