“We stayed at The Eribel in 2016 and had an amazing time.”

We were really looking forward to another fabulous stay but unfortunately it wasn't as nice as we remembered. The rug in the front room was incredibly grubby and needs cleaning or replacing. I had black socks on which where covered in white dog hairs on the first day. No spare toilet rolls were left so had to buy some. It was advertised as having Netflix but the TV is so outdated that when you try to watch Netflix it says its not supported. We tried to watch something on iplayer and although we ...

We were really looking forward to another fabulous stay but unfortunately it wasn't as nice as we remembered. The rug in the front room was incredibly grubby and needs cleaning or replacing. I had black socks on which where covered in white dog hairs on the first day. No spare toilet rolls were left so had to buy some. It was advertised as having Netflix but the TV is so outdated that when you try to watch Netflix it says its not supported. We tried to watch something on iplayer and although we could, a message said that iplayer was only available until 30th October on the device. The walls had lots of marks and splashes on them. There were lots of shiny patches on the walls where it had been touched up with emulsion. The windows were very dirty. A window cleaner cleaned the outside windows during our stay but they were dirty on the inside. There was a hand print on the inside of the bi folding doors and smear marks where I think dogs had been at the glass. It rained at the beginning of our stay and we went out the day after arriving and my wife slipped on the outside tiles. They need power washing to stop them being so slippery.The stream and surroundings are superb. We paid a premium price but it is not the luxury we expected. All in all I think it needs to be closed for a week for a deep clean and repainting.

“This is a lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need.”

Located in an excellent place for access to walks. One of the best cottages we have stayed in.

- Kay, January 2024

Thank you very much. Sorry the Christmas decorations were still up. We were looking after 3 ponies while their owner was on holiday so couldn’t come to Eribel until now. Property Owner

Tina November 2023

“We had a lovely week at Eribel Cottage.”

Two things that I had a problem with are (a) the door in the kitchen did not lock and (b) the bed in the bedroom with steps down into it collapsed at the bottom right hand corner. Luckily my husband had a tool kit with him and he was able to stabilise the bed frame. I think this needs to be looked into as I am not sure if the bed needs to be changed and wouldn’t want anyone to be hurt.

- Tina, November 2023
Katrina November 2023

“Great property !”

Very warm and comfortable with lovely views. Would definitely recommend . We have used a lot of cottages from Sykes and this is one of the best.

Jenene October 2023

“A beautiful location and lovely cottage.”

The cottage itself was very well equipped. The only issue we had was some cleaning issues but overall the essentials were clean. The items for children are not stated on listings and can be found in a cupboard and we asked for a travel cot which we found under a bed. This I felt should have been assembled ready for us arriving.

- Jenene, October 2023

“Beautiful cottage.”

Stunning views. Great base to explore the lakes.

- David, August 2023
Sue August 2023

“Love Eribel.”

Our 4th year visiting and our 7 year old grandson voted it his favourite holiday house ever. Great location, superb views, comfortable and well equipped. Already booked for next year. Very minor niggle - French door lock is a bit temperamental and also five bar gate latch. Nothing to negatively affect our stay.

- Sue, August 2023

We are glad you have enjoyed your stay at Eribel. We will have a look at the lock on the French door. The gate latch has been a problem as the gate post is moving slightly under the weight of the gate putting more pressure on the latch. We will ask a fencing contractor for advice. Property Owner
Julie-marie July 2023

“We are just back from a week at Eribel Cottage, the location and views of countryside are beautiful, there is a lovely coffee shop in Threlkeld which is very reasonably priced in comparison to Ambleside and Keswick.”

The cottage is well equipped however we felt this is not a luxury accommodation as listed. NONE of the windows open on the ground floor they are all locked and when we arrived the property smelt of stale curry throughout , we tried to open windows but they were all locked and no keys !!! (this had been mentioned previously in the guest book Twice !!). The property could as also mentioned in the guest book do with closing for a week and a deep clean of everything completed. House is grubby throughout now and certainly not to the standard expected, corners, skirting boards, lights, mirrors, surfaces, bathroom fitments eg. Towel rails etc. Overall it was a lovely week location and view wise but we would like to hear from you with regard to cleanliness as not up to standard !!! Also the paving slabs are slippery at back and front of house and a member of our party slipped and hurt her thigh coming out the bifold doors, they desperately need jetwashing at the soonest !!! We await your feedback and also owners feedback.

- Julie-marie, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We will take your comments in order. The windows downstairs can be opened but the plastic lock cover, over the pivot, has to be depressed and held while turning the lock either clockwise or anti-clockwise. Once turned pressure on the plastic cover can be released. This is a partial lock for security reasons on the ground floor. We are concerned that if the windows are opened too easily they may be left opened which has already happened. One day the cleaner noticed the downstairs shower room window was left open which would allow a burglar easy access to the property. The upstairs windows can be fully opened. We will give a detailed explanation of how to open the windows and ventilate the rooms in the Eribel Handbook. We only hope the holiday guests will find the time to read the handbook. We are sorry a catering aroma of curry was still in the cottage on your arrival. This presents a problem as we have no control over the menu choices of holiday guests. We have to accept the aromas they leave behind. There is only a five hour window of time (1000 to 1500 hours) between holiday guests leaving and arriving which is not enough time to ventilate the cottage. The cleaner usually spends no more than four hours at the cottage to avoid being present when holiday guests leave or arrive so this shortens the time. On the subject of ventilation, as mentioned above, the windows can be opened and each window has a horizontal ventilation port above the glass pane with a fully adjustable flap to open or close the port. Furthermore there are 3 external doors in the cottage (front, side to utility room and back to kitchen). The bi-folding doors have 3 full sized door panels and the French doors have 2. This means there are a total of 8 full sized door panels of ventilation downstairs in the property plus all the windows except the one above the kitchen sink. I am not sure what more we can do with regards to ventilation. Please remember the cleaner can only open these for a maximum of 4 hours between lettings. The rest of the time there will be a holiday guest in the property. The general cleaning is managed by Lakes Cottage Holidays who employ the Cleaners. They are aware of the cleaning concerns and will ensure the cleaning is up to standard. Finally the patio is regularly power washed already but sometimes the progress of the algae growth is faster at than at other times. There has been difficulty with monitoring the patio surface but we are working on a solution. We are sorry there has been a fall and hope the lady has recovered from her injury. Property Owner

Paul May 2023

“Lovely place to stay with fantastic views and loads of walks from the door, already booked again for next year !”

! It was a shame we couldn’t open the bathroom windows even trying the window lock key meant it was like a sauna in there even with the extractor on.

Simon March 2023

“Beautiful house in an amazing location with fantastic views.”

The house has everything you need and more, Very well equipped kitchen, relaxing lounge and comfortable bed rooms. We were lucky and saw Red Squirrels in the garden, this was our first visit to this property but we will be back, it was amazing.

- Simon, March 2023

Thank you very much for your positive comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope the weather was kind. Property Owner
Colin March 2023

“We have stayed here many times.”

The location is great and the cottage homely. A few of the furnishings and bedding is looking a bit tired but overall a very nice place. We did have a blocked sewer which caused some problems but it was sorted very quickly. No doubt we’ll book again next year.

- Colin, March 2023

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back again. We’re sorry about the blocked sewer. It was due to wet wipes. We’ll put a notice about these things, by the toilets, so hopefully it won’t happen again. Property Owner
Peter February 2023

“Someone had scattered their previous evening meal leftovers all over the garden.”

It was disgusting. When we arrived one of our dogs immediately saw it, ate some and was later sick. Clearly no one checked this but what possesses someone to do this is beyond us.

- Peter, February 2023
Carly February 2023

“Beautiful place to stay!”

!! Speechless

Rebecca February 2023

“This was really special holiday as my Grandad used to live here before it was converted into a holiday cotttage.”

We were all amazed and impressed by the transformation (of course, various family members popped by for a visit!). We all thought that Grandad would be so happy that his house brings so much joy to so many people (evident from the guest book). I hope we can come again sometime.

- Rebecca, February 2023
Andrew December 2022

“Really nice place to stay in a beautifully location right next to the beck that you can hear at night soothing ,we would book it again , under floor heating down stairs was good , need to sort out the heating up stairs chilly at times (for the older generation) we did have a play with temperature setting’s up stairs but couldn’t work it out .”

Linda November 2022

“Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.”

Only criticism would be that arriving in the dark, the signage for the Croft was difficult to find.

Ann September 2022

“Really enjoyed our 2 week stay at Eribel cottage, beautiful location, walks from the doorstep.”

Can’t fault any thing about it, just outstanding place. A hidden gem. Definitely be returning….

- Richard, September 2022
Maxine August 2022

“We loved Eribel such a beautiful location, stunning views, quiet and peaceful with no passing traffic.”

Comfortable and well furnished. Well located close to a main road so easy to visit other parts of the area, but plenty of walks from the cottage if you don’t want to use the car. We woke up one morning to no hot water, but this was handled professionally and was fixed by the end of the day. Would definitely recommend.

- Maxine, August 2022
Sue August 2022

“Our third stay at Eribel and still very happy with everything.”

Already booked for next year. Superb views, comfortable beds, well equipped cottage, friendly wildlife. Lovely woodland stroll alongside stream to the pub. A real holiday choice.

- Sue, August 2022
Jonathan July 2022

“A fantastic house that we will definitely stay in again.”

- Jonathan, July 2022
Catherine July 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Eribel cottage.”

The views were gorgeous and the house was very comfortable to stay in. There is plenty of parking and the garden out the back was a lovely addition when the weather was nice. We even saw a red squirrel. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the view from the living room was great. The kitchen had all amenities needed and the showers were amazing. There were plenty of toys, books and games and the highchair came in very useful. We will definitely be back again.

- Catherine, July 2022
Elizabeth June 2022

“We had a wonderful week in Eribel Cottage, which is perfectly situated on the edge of a village so it is not remote but also not busy or noisy.”

It has a lovely stream babbling to the side and mountain views to the front and red squirrels in the back garden. There are a variety of walks locally and without having to travel far. The converted railway route is a good walk or bike ride into Keswick, which itself has nice gardens, shops and Derwentwater, of course. The walk round Buttermere was beautiful and the walk up Skiddaw spectacular. Loads to do, spectacular cottage. Can't fault it.

- Elizabeth, June 2022
Paul March 2022

“Ideal location with wonderful views and walks from the door.”

Cottage was light and airy and very comfortable.

- Paul, March 2022
Peter March 2022

“The cottage, facilities and location were excellent.”

The photos don't do it justice and the views over the fells are stunning. It was warm and comfortable and is a cottage we will definitely return to. The village has an excellent pub, which we used a number of times, as well as a lovely coffee shop in the village hall. A super base for accessing Keswick, Ullswater and beyond. We hope to be back soon.

- Peter, March 2022
Lesley February 2022

“Lovely cottage, perfectly situated for facilites & tremendous views.”

Extremely well equipped! However looked like no one had stayed since November by the guest book listing so was disappointed that quiet a few cobwebs / dusty areas were quite noticeable - i can send photos separately if you require these. Given all of the above we would definitely return. A lovely week away! Thank you.

- Lesley, February 2022

Kay September 2021

“This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

It has everything you need but there are a few issues that need addressing. The fridge door is faulty and keeps catching, this was mentioned on our last stay but there has been no improvement. The locks on the windows do not all work and some cannot be opened. This was particularly noticeable as it was very hot whilst we were there. However, there are more plus points than negative ones. We have stayed 3 times and we would go again. It is in an ideal location with a lovely neighbour who gave us lots of local information.

- Kay, September 2021
Karen May 2021

“Beautifully situated cottage and well laid out but it could have been cleaner dirt in corners rusty bins and shower metal holders.”

Bottom bathroom door would not close at all . The towels provided were dreadful ( I had to go straight out and buy new ones to use) Could do with some general maintenance. Large water stain on kitchen ceiling and all the door mats needed replacing Plus side couldn’t have been a better spot loved the useful utility area and washing machine .sat outside most days enjoying the view cottage had good supply of plates etc and general furnishings good. Great bi fold doors in lounge onto patio with stunning views and pretty garden.

- Karen, May 2021
Paul April 2021

“Cottage has everything you need and more, loads of kitchen ware, beds are really comfortable, it's the best I've slept for a while.”

The dogs loved the stream and the field just outside the cottage which is accessible through a gate in the back garden, very clean and warm. Views are amazing especially when the bi-folding doors are open, we loved this and are looking to book again for next summer.

- Paul, April 2021
Sarah April 2021

“Erbel is a beautiful and extremely well located cottage at the end of a small row in Threlkeld with views all around.”

Short drive into Keswick for shopping or a short walk out of the back gate alongside the stream to the local pub. Similarly you can just trot out of the back gate and find yourself at the foot of Blencathra for a challenging walk. Very comfy beds.. light and airy throughout. Perhaps just missing a fire if you come in the winter months.

- Sarah, April 2021
David & Lesley October 2020

“Great location, very clean, well presented and equipped, only small negative limited TV stations.”

Friendly neighbour who was able to give us lots of information about the area and its history. Our holiday was great and good to get away after the year to date, the only negative I can say has nothing to do with the property, local Pub, visited three times during our stay, not once were we asked for our details and on the last night, they lost our food order! after an hour it was us who highlighted the situation, their reaction "totally unacceptable so we walked-out! As owners of a Sykes property in Cornwall appreciate feedback and to experience and learn from other cottages.

- David & Lesley, October 2020
Lesley September 2020

“The cottage was well positioned in Threlkeld with views across the valley towards St Johns in the Vale.”

Single track to the house, fields in front of the cottage with sheep, chickens, pony and wild rabbits to watch. To the back of the cottage there was a small back garden with Red Squirrels visiting every day and owls hooting when dark. Great central position to explore the lakes and walks from the doorstep. Eribel Cottage was well equipped, spacious, comfortable and welcoming. The laundry area was excellent for drying wet clothes and boots. (inevitable at times in The Lakes!) I would definately recommend this cottage and hope to visit again.

- Lesley, September 2020
Caroline August 2020

“The cottage was in a beautiful position and contained everything we needed.”

Unfortunately we did not find it all that clean and because pets are allowed some areas smelt of dog.

Darren July 2019

“Our holiday cottage in the village of Threlkeld was well equipped, comfortable and provided us with an excellent base for the Lake District with a home-from-home feel.”

Dogs welcome meant we were all able to enjoy the holiday without any worries. A rep from Sykes phone the day after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. I don't recall any other letting company we have used do that and we appreciated the effort. We will be returning to the Lakes and will be using Sykes again for our booking.

- Darren, July 2019
Angela July 2019

“We had an amazing holiday at Eribel Cottage - it's in a fantastic location with sheep grazing on your doorstep, amazing views across the village of Threlkeld and the fells beyond.”

Lot's of country walks nearby which was great for both us and the dog. Only a short drive into Keswick to pick up supplies. Super friendly village with a great pub and coffee shop - both dog friendly. The cottage was really lovely, very well appointed and a real home from home. Comfortable beds, super bathrooms and showers, great kitchen/diner, spacious lounge, and a good selection of TV channels. If we were asked what would make Eribel even better - we would suggest an outside wahsing line and some new garden furniture as the current table and chairs a bit rusty. Overall 10 out of 10 and would definitely book again! Thank you :-)

- Angela, July 2019
Jane May 2019

“We have rented Eribel cottage on a number of occasions and last year we felt that the cottage wasn't as clean as we had found previously.”

This year, however, there was a definite improvement and we enjoyed our stay. We did look at booking again for next year but it seems as if the rental cost has increased significantly from last year?

- Jane, May 2019
Jane March 2019

“It was a fantastic cottage, very comfortable with amazing views.”

A very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Seeing the red squirrels every day was a bonus. The only downside was the heating which didn't seem to work properly, upstairs was fine but downstairs the underfloor heating didn't seem to work, but other than that it was a lovely cottage

- Jane, March 2019

Thank you for your observations and trust you enjoyed the facilities and location of Eribel Cottage. It is a pity you found the heating was a problem, one that has occurred before when the electric radiators were used to increase the temperature of the living accommodation. Electric radiators are provided in case the central heating breaks down. If the electric radiators are used in conjunction with the underfloor heating, the heat output raises the temperature above that set on the thermostat which shuts down the underfloor heating. I thank you again for your feedback and hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Wendy March 2019

“Great cottage.”

Very clean. Fantastic views, perfect position. In an ideal world there would be a fire and the TV would be lower on the wall, but pretty small things in the overall picture. We've just had our third holiday there and will be back next year.

- Wendy, March 2019
Denise February 2019

Lesley November 2018

“Great location in a quiet, peaceful area.”

Walks on your doorstep and fabulous views from the house. The property has been beautifully refurbished and modernised and is very well equipped, probably because the owners use it themselves, making it more of a home. Just a couple of criticisms. The duvet is only king size and doesn't fit the super king bed. It's also not thick enough for autumn/winter use. We had to pinch the duvet from another bedroom to keep warm. The underfloor heating in the lounge is inadequate and didn't really seem to warm up. There were a number of evenings when we were quite chilly. When we tried to turn the heating up it kept flicking back to a lower temperature. It was as if it was being controlled elsewhere! Also the entire heating went off at 9.30 in the morning. There were some strange anomalies with the heating which we never really understood, particularly upstairs which was off more than it was on and the heated towel rail in the bathroom only came on for a few hours in the evening!! Really don't like being cold when we're on holiday.

Fantastic location. Lovely and quiet.

Steph June 2018

“As you know, we had to get in touch with yourselves on arrival re the state of the cleanliness of the cottage.”

Two ladies from the Keswick office came over straight away and saw for themselves a multitude of unclean areas including one of the beds. They immediately set to and changed bedding, cleaned floors and dusted. They quite agreed that the cottage should not have been left in that state - a stomach churning start to our holiday! I must say from the initial phone call with Gary to the girls coming round, I felt that your staff did all they could to put matters right including a refund of £100 at the end of the holiday. The disappointing start to the holiday at Eribel Cottage will not put us off booking the property again as it is so beautiful and so tastefully done. I think the owners would have been saddened to see that it had been so let down because of the lack of cleaning! Thank you to Karen and team for putting things right and I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the week.
