“The cottage was in a good location .”

Facilities in the cottage were good . Two lovely bathrooms. The beds were comfortable. The heating worked really well. The log burner was very disappointing,think it maybe needed sweeping. The cottage needs decorating all the way through and the sofas weren't particularly comfortable.

“Overall we had a lovely stay.”

We were very disappointed with the noise and the skip parked directly outside of the window however. It was unsightly and unpleasant. The heating was also a bit temperamental. The house itself is lovely and in a fab location, it was just a shame our stay was tarnished due to the things I have mentioned.

“House was comfortable.”

Beds great. Great location. Bath Matt in 1st bathroom was old and pink from dying in a wash. Bathrooms nice though. Some of the paintwork needs retouching up on window sills and woodwork. TV had a line down it. There were no logs to use for the fire. Although book said replace logs used? We bought some though and fire was nice. There are stains in the kitchen ceiling from the shower. I would say it’s a nice property and just needs a few bits sorting. We enjoyed our stay despite the above.

“Great property and location.”

A cafetière and some handwash in the bathrooms would make it perfect.

“Lovely property, great location and parking on the road was relatively easy as well.”

Some parts were looking a little tired but it didn’t impact the overall condition of the property. All appliances were really good, great showers and a washer drier if needed. Only thing that would have improved our stay was if there had been a few basic supplies such as washing up liquid, hand soap and tea & coffee.

“Well situated, though parking was sometimes a little tricky.”

The house was well equipped and within a short walking distance of the town centre. The kitchen was slightly cramped but functional and the beds and sofas were very comfortable. Considering it was in a area that has been hollowed out to provide holiday accommodation, the house was very quiet. It needs a lick of paint and some of the pet-induced scratches on the doors were unsightly.

“Overall the cottage was comfortable and clean.”

A good location near to the park and only a short walk into the town centre. The cottage was well equipped, although it would have been nice to have a measuring jug of some sort in the property. The upstairs hand rail was coming away from the wall, which we advised Sykes about and they responded very quickly to our concerns. Some of the plates in the cupboard were dirty, but this was soon rectified by putting in the dishwasher.

“There are lots of positives about the house.”

Great location and on a quiet road too. Didn't have a problem parking but we staying midweek so can't say what it would be like at the weekend. The front area is gated so great for ensuring dogs (and little children) can't get onto the road. It's only 5 minute walk to the town centre and also to Hope Park (which is lovely by the river if want to take children to a play area) nice cafe in the park too. Can also watch cricket match! The house is well provisioned, great kitchen with plenty of worktops. Comfy furniture in the lounge area although it is compact so if six people sitting in the lounge I can imagine it's a little cosy. Didn't use the fire as visit in May but looks great. Bedrooms are good size and the bed we used in the main bedroom was firm which we like. Bathrooms are great size with walk in showers. Water was hot and the one time heating came on (not sure why) heaters were hot very quickly. Nice back yard that got the morning sun. The few negatives are: Couldn't close the door on the dishwasher so handwashed, not a problem as only two of us. But would need resolving. Light bulbs out in a few lights in dining area, couldn't get main light over the table to work. Garden chairs in yard are very rusty so couldn't sit on them when it was nice in the yard, but there was a bench which was fine. I noticed someone fed back that the decor is 'tired', but it's fine, especially as this is a holiday home and will get heavy use. It's also an old house so there will be some cosmetic issues that show but it doesn't detract from the clear efforts that the owners have put into renovating the house and making it comfortable for the stay. Would we stay in the house again, yes. It has everything needed for a nice break in the Lake District and was reasonable in price to rent.
