“Nice cottage, nothing fancy but just what we needed for our time in the Lakes.”

A knife sharpener would be good, and a clothes horse, but beds were comfortable, the bath was lovely and all in was a nice stay.

Marguerite July 2024

“This is a charming holiday cottage, beautifully furnished in country style and well situated for exploring Windermere, Grasmere and Kendal.”

The bedrooms are spacious, but our children found the single beds less comfortable (hard matrasses). The kitchen is well equipped and there are two bathrooms. The shower downstairs is, however, on the small side and water temperatures were harder to regulate.

- Marguerite, July 2024
Christine June 2024

“Hello. Yes we would like to mention that the upstairs toilet flush pipe is leaking.”

We put a tray under it and caught water We reported it to Sykes but they wanted me to download their app, which I was unhappy with as they wish to share my financial details. I am unhappy with this. Else it was very hard to get hold of them. But I tried. I hope your house is ok. Other than that we had a lovely stay at your house. Garden is lovely. It would be helpful to provide guests with salt pepper and oil (as it is hard to transport open). Bed linen was lovely. If you are visiting you might like to take your own bath mat. If you have anyone with mobility issues there are a couple of big steps on the garden path.

- Christine, June 2024

Thank you for bringing this small problem to our attention, which has now been rectified. We are pleased that this did not stop you having an enjoyable holiday. David and Brenda Property Owner

“We had a lovely week at 2 Beacon High - beautiful cottage and the weather held out for us.”

Thank you for your kind comments, it is very much appreciated . David and Brenda Property Owner
Stephen June 2024

“It was a lovely cottage, very well equipped and beautifully clean.”

Comfortable bed and efficient hot water and heating. Parking was a little restricted (the nature of a cottage in a lakeland village), but as the ajoining cottage was unoccupied during our stay, it wasn't a problem. A perfect place to stay in the more tranquil surroundings outside Grange over Sands, with Windermere and the lakes only a short drive away. We spent a very enjoyable week at the cottage and would thoroughly recommend, though perhaps not suitable for a family with small children - some rather delicate furniture & china ornaments!

- Stephen, June 2024
Janet December 2023

“Delightful place.”

Well equipped and very comfortable. Would definitely like to go back next year.

- Janet, December 2023

“Lovely cottage and would come back again and again”

- Alexandra, November 2023

Thank you, it makes it all worthwhile. David and Brenda Property Owner
Valerie November 2023

“This was a little gem, in a quieter area of The Lake District, but with places to visit nearby: Grange, Cartmel, Sizergh, village pub, etc.”

More spacious than we’d expected, warm and cosy - and two bathrooms was a bonus. Lovely housekeeper. The only problem we had was getting the logs to burn; fortunately had brought some well seasoned with us.

- Valerie, November 2023
Mike August 2023

“This is a lovely villa suitable for a couple or small family.”

Located in the village of Lindale, which is a bit lacking in facilities, but the location is ideal for the lakes and Grange-upon-Sands. Cartmel would be recommended for food / eats close by, Grange is larger, but we found better quality in Cartmel. This house has a convenient layout, is well stocked in terms of utensils and plates / crockery etc. Has a lovely sunny patio with 2 tables. Very private garden. It is missing a coffee machine (we took our own - so not an issue) and you need to bring your own towels (also not an issue). Everything else was there, and it was an easy stay. Parking the car is a bit tricky (as advertised) but you can also easily park on the street a short walk from the property. We'd revisit this property, and really enjoyed our stay there.

- Mike, August 2023
Veronica July 2023

“Hi the cottage was lovely easy access just narrow wee road but u expect that in a beautiful little village but still east to get in and out own parking space the garden was lovely and very private it was a little secret garden beautiful when sun is out but it could do with a little cut back not a lot but still stunning.”

The cottage was spotless everything easy at hand good mobile service. The bedrooms where clean and very comfortable overall beautiful cottage we will definitely be back next year I would recommend this cottage

- Veronica, July 2023
Karen March 2023

“I booked a four week stay at 2 Beacon High and I cannot thank David and Brenda enough for the care and thoughtfulness they have put into ensuring their holiday cottage has all that is required for a comfortable and lengthy stay.”

I never wanted for, or needed anything extra to enjoy my stay there. 2 Beacon High and its owners, David and Brenda, made my stay feel very homely and comfortable, and I would not hesitate in recommending their lovely cottage for any length of stay.

- Karen, March 2023
Marcin December 2022

“Really Nice Cottage house .”

We had great break with my family. I highly recommend that:)

- Marcin, December 2022
Ema October 2022

“We had a wonderful time at this property.”

It was as described, lovely and quiet and perfect for a short break with the family exploring the local area, reading and playing games by the open fire. The owners were lovely, we suffered a mishap (my fault entirely) and they couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful.

- Ema, October 2022
John September 2022

“Very good nice and quiet clean cottage nothing bad to say all round excellent.”

- John, September 2022
Louise August 2022

“The cottage was very nice, comfortable and clean.”

The pressure in the shower is very strong which we liked. I would recommend taking extra towels or your own bath mat as the shower door tends to leak. Views from the main bedroom are lovely. WiFi and internet worked fine. It's a perfect base to explore the Lake District.

- Louise, August 2022
Paula June 2022

“Great location, lovely garden, comfy beds and great bed linen.”

However, generally, the cottage could do with some paint and both bathrooms would benefit from extractor fans which could be fitted in the glass, as clearly the walls are too thick. We did open the windows when using the shower, but the obviously mouldy walls, particularly in the downstairs shower room were unpleasant to see. Our main issue is the kitchen. The roller blind at the window was presumably broken as it was taped up. The wooden worktops were frankly disgusting….a gluey surface which things stuck to and you felt were never clean. The oven wasn’t clean and apart from the grill pan we could not find a simple baking sheet to use. We had to wash every pan, as some had food adhered to them. In fact I hand washed or dishwasher cleaned everything before we used it! All used linen which we were instructed to put in the yellow bags under the stairs, had to be left on the floor in the bedrooms as the yellow bags under the stairs were stuffed full and I had no intention of investigating the contents!!

- Paula, June 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review, and we are sorry that you felt disappointed. The character property was built in the 1860s and so the walls are thick, but I can confirm there is no mould anywhere. We do supply an array of kitchen utensils including a baking tray. We do apologise if the linen was not collected before your arrival and will ensure this doesn't happen again, thanks for letting us know. Sykes cottages do have a dedicated help line for any guests staying at the property and we are sorry that on this occasion you did not contact anyone during your stay as we would have been able to reassure you regarding the bathrooms and also take the linen away immediately. The kitchen blind is held with ribbons and operates as it should, and the kitchen has been checked thoroughly as per our usual high standard cleaning protocol. Property Owner
David June 2022

“Excellent. Plenty of room and very clean.”

We had no problems at all. It was well equipped. The property was in an ideal position for what we planned to to do. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the central lakes, but easy to get to when we needed to. Would use the property again and recommend.

- David, June 2022
Amy May 2022

“Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location.”

Cosy and warm with everything you need and a lovely garden too. Open fire with a basket of logs and kindling was also a real bonus for cold evenings. Didn’t want to leave :-)

- Amy, May 2022

Thanks for your kind comments, which we really appreciate. It makes it all worth while. Brenda and David. Property Owner
Sharon December 2021

“This is a lovely holiday cottage, very well looked after by its owners, with many thoughtful extras that make you feel comfortable.”

We loved that we could cook and relax as if we were at home. The owners clearly care about their guests as we were left a lovely welcome message and a small issue we had with the WiFi was dealt with very promptly. We’d love to visit again in the summer and enjoy the beautiful garden. Thank you David and Brenda.

- Sharon, December 2021
Nick October 2021

“One of the sky light blinds in the twin bedroom is missing, other than that it is a lovely homely cottage and we really enjoyed our stay.”

- Nick, October 2021

Thank you for your recent feedback, feedback is important to us. Just to let you know that the blinds have now been replaced at 2 Beacon High. Property Owner
marius December 2020

“The cottage is very nice and cosy.”

Just maybe a better signposting, especially for arriving in the evening and maybe switching to another internet provider for a better wi fi connection. Thank you.

- marius, December 2020

We appreciate your comments. We have updated the router on Wifi and ensured that the house number is now more obvious. Property Owner
Cliff September 2020

“Better sign posting of cottage, possibly name of cottage on the end of parking space.”

Would have liked to have known that the pub had restricted opening hours. Lovely cottage, nice & warm, open fire was great, a little more kindling would have helped. Location was ideal but would suggest that if you are not a walker, it might not be for you. Would stay again & would reccomend it.

- Cliff, September 2020
Caroline September 2020

“Lovely cottage with a pretty garden to sit out in.”

Bigger than appears in the photos & very clean. Would happily stay here again. Few tiny things need attention - microwave turntable doesn’t turn & bathroom door upstairs is getting very sticky. We found the beds rather soft but know that is personal thing. The barbecue was tucked away under covers in the shed so not sure if that’s useable or not. No info on it in the welcome pack. Kitchen equipment was good but sharp knife could do with replacing & some larger saucepans or wok / higher sided frying pan would be handy for one pot meals. There were only 2 of us so kitchen / diner worked well but might be a bit tight for 4 if all moving around at the same time. WiFi was fine but signal for an EE phone was patchy in the house. Vodafone was fine. Excellent location for accessing the Southern Lakes, Arnside & the Cumbrian coast. Had a lovely short walk on Humphrey Head for brilliant views of Morecambe Bay. It is in a village & there is a little road noise & cockerels locally so not for those seeking isolation! Happily recommend this property. We had a brilliant holiday.

- Caroline, September 2020
Marie September 2020

“Loved the cottage,the key is tricky to get especially if it’s dark, the double bed needs replacing,not very comfortable,but having said that there is everything you could possibly want,spotlessly clean and cosy,we wished it would have been cold enough to light the fire!”

! Would stay again

- Marie, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to say the double bed has been replaced and you are welcome back anytime. Property Owner
Michael March 2020

“Cottage was very nice apart from cockeral in adjoining property awaken us at 3.”

30 each morning as we were sleeping in back bedroom.

- Michael, March 2020
Brian October 2019

“On first impressions on seeing the climb up to the house from the carpark set me back a bit being 76yrs old but I had to admit after a week here I lost weight and felt great, second impression, on opening the door we were taken back a step, the house was brilliant in every way, big rooms and well presented we have never been in a cottage that had large bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable.”

We really enjoyed our stay there.

- Brian, October 2019
Tammy August 2019

“This is a lovely cottage!”

We really enjoyed our time here. The cottage is actually bigger than the pictures make it seem and its very homely. The kitchen is well equipped. Lots of interesting books, games and information left in the bookcase, and an excellent base to see the rest of the lake district. Its in a very quiet village, which has a lovely relaxed family friendly pub within 5 mins walk that serves a very good Sunday lunch. we have a child with autism and she needs quiet and her own space, this gave her both and she managed to totally relax while there, in fact she really didn't want to come home! The only thing i would change are the curtains in the children's room. They are very thin and let the morning light in. We got over that by using our spare towels but they could really use some thicker curtains with black out material. i would definitely book it again.

- Tammy, August 2019
Francis June 2019

“Unfortunately the directions to the cottage was inaccurate the mention of the ...”

Unfortunately the directions to the cottage was inaccurate the mention of the Lonsdale Inn caused confusion after trying in vain to locate it We were informed that it had been demolished recently

- Francis, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The directions have now been reviewed and updated. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations team. Property Owner
Stephanie May 2019

“This was our third visit to Beacon High so we knew to expect high standards!”

We found everything great, just one small comment. All the drinking glasses are really small - maybe the large ones have been broken over the years, so we had to buy a large one for my husband to use as a water glass. Apart from that, the cottage is in a great location for exploring the southern lakes and Grange has a lovely cafe where we enjoyed several lunches and could buy their homemade dinners to take home and heat up. Also a great range of cakes to eat in or take home for later. Great chocolate shop just up the road too!

- Stephanie, May 2019
Irene April 2019

“Really beautiful house in a small quiet village.”

It has a pretty front garden that is well looked after with a table and chair that we used for having breakfast outside. The house has been recently renovated and is very comfortable and clean. The only thing that I would suggest to improve the staying would be to provide towels (at least for the hands). Even though it was noted in advance, it is quite inconvenient to bring your own. In general we had a very pleasant time and we would definitely like to come back!

- Irene, April 2019
Julie October 2018

“We had a lovely stay.”

We felt very comfortable straight away. Great to have another bathroom downstairs with the shower for my Mum. Everything was well thought out - the little tags with information were helpful - especially to find the pans/sauce pans under the oven, as the drawer was deceptive! Do a little homework before you get there to locate the house as I didn’t and instead my satnav took us just short of the property. We got there late at night and I had to rely on the GPS receiver on my phone to get us there In the dark. If I had checked properly on a map we would have got there there straight away! Property feels in a secure, beautiful location. With easy access to and from the property to quickly get on major routes to explore the Lakes.

- Julie, October 2018
Douglas September 2018

“Pretty village location with plenty to do in the immediate area.”

We enjoyed a high level of privacy whilst at the cottage, essential to us while on holiday. The Royal Oak in the village serves excellent meals ( booking is essential) and everyone was very welcoming. A regular bus service operates to Grange -Over - Sands and Kendal should you want to take a break from driving/ walking. All in all a very good week, the weather too, apart from one day,was fabulous.

- Douglas, September 2018
Christine August 2018

“Cottage was lovely - a little hard to find initially - perhaps could do with name of house at bottom of drive.”

- Christine, August 2018
Mark August 2018

“Just that the cot we requested was a travel cot which was kept under the stairs.”

It smelled very musty and looked unclean. My daughter who had her 5 month old baby with her felt she couldn't possibly use it because of the smell etc. Fortunately she only planned to stop two nights with us and the baby had to sleep in a single bed with her which was not ideal. Other than that it was a lovely house and we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anybody.

- Mark, August 2018
Susan May 2018

“Lovely holiday cottage, nice quiet location near to village shop & pubs.”

Had everything we needed, was very comfortable and clean. Very close to Lake Windermere and lots of other great locations. There is also a bus route that operates through the village. Only problem we had was with opening the key safe. Would recommend.

- Susan, May 2018
Linda March 2018

“We found this cottage ideal for our needs .”

Quiet, close to other areas we wished to visit.

Jennifer December 2016

“Lovely cottage in lindale,bigger than we expected.”

Met all our needs over the Christmas break.

- Jennifer, December 2016
John September 2016

“The cottage better than we expected.”

The pictures don't do it justice. Just one small suggestion - would have been nice if a hairdryer was provided. It didn't occur to me that there wouldn't be one as all the cottages I've rented in the past have.

- John, September 2016
Jason August 2016

“Lovely cottage, perfectly located for visiting the Lakes and Cartmel Races.”

The boys loved their bedroom - it was huge! It was a delight to sit in the traditional kitchen every morning, planning our days out. We would definitely come here again.

- Jason, August 2016
Russell July 2016

“A really lovely English country cottage in a nice quiet village which is an ideal location for exploring the Lake District National Park.”

The accommodation was very clean, with really nice traditional cottage d?cor and a peaceful patio area upon which to sit and relax while enjoying the colourful private garden. This was our first visit to this property, but as regular visitors to the Lakes I am certain this will become our regular retreat in future. Must also mention that we only booked the accommodation the day before arrival and there were no problems in the property being ready.

- Russell, July 2016
Gerard June 2016

“The cottage was comfortable, cosy in a good location to see The Lakes.”

We particularly enjoyed the garden and the open fire. We would recommend and would visit again.

- Gerard, June 2016
Derek June 2016

“An excellent cottage which was well furnished and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect holiday.”

It was in a quiet location in Lindale which is an attractive village with lovely countryside all around. Lots of places to visit nearby and we also had good weather in spite of the forecasts! We would certainly recommend this as an ideal place for a holiday.

- Derek, June 2016
Rachel May 2016

“2 Beacon High was homely and relaxing.”

The weather was amazing so we made use of the outside area. The location was just right and we could to visit local areas with ease.

- Rachel, May 2016
Linda October 2015

“The house was very comfortable and cosy and we loved it.”

We felt very at home and everything seemed to have been thought of that you could need. We were well situated for trips to Lakes Coniston and Windermere and enjoyed a walk round Tarn Hows. It is a lovely cottage to stay in and we will go for longer next time.

- Linda, October 2015
Joanna August 2015

“A good location, and a really nicely presented and equipped cottage, very comfortable.”

Would book it again.

- Joanna, August 2015
Angharad May 2015

“A lovely house with a beautiful garden in a peaceful location.”

In a good location for the South Lakes. The Smart TV was useful. Would recommend a visit to Cartmel which was a very short drive away.

- Angharad, May 2015
Nigel March 2015

“The cottage was perfect for our needs; quiet, off the main road, cosy and adequately equipped for two people.”

We like staying at cottages where the key is in a key safe, as it allows flexibility of arrival time. The Smart TV was a bonus as we had mixed weather so spent more time indoors than we would normally do, especially at this time of year the Lake District is more inclined to be wet. There is a pub in a short walk, serving excellent food. We could go walking from the cottage, but also had places to go which were only a short car ride away or by train.

- Nigel, March 2015
Anne February 2015

“We arrived on a cold & wet evening to a warm, welcoming cottage.”

The kitchen was very well equipped and the information book was helpful. Our 2 Boys particularly liked their bedroom with lovely views and of course the WiFi for their games. The lounge was lovely and we enjoyed using the open fire in the evenings.

- Anne, February 2015
Frances November 2014

“I loved the views from the kitchen and bedrooms and the quiet and darkness at night - absence of street lights and traffic noise is a treat for a townie like me.”

The location is good for easy access to lots of places. Overall, a lovely cottage.

- Frances, November 2014
Susan November 2014

“Cottage very comfortable and really enjoyed 'chilling out' there.”

Enjoyed visiting Grange-over-Sands and walking along the promenade. Also enjoyed visiting Cartmel and the Lakeland Motor Museum. It was good to have Wifi available.

- Susan, November 2014
Claudia June 2014

“Everything was great and we had a very good time in 2 Beacon High!”

- Claudia, June 2014
Jean June 2014

“The cottage is well appointed and well situated for exploring South Lakeland, plus, close to main routes for easy access to other destinations.”

The weather was kind and the fishing and walking were great.

- Jean, June 2014
Mrs Rutter December 2013

“Central heating responded quickly ensuring the house was always warm.”

Easy to keep clean. Good quality fixtures and fittings. Good TV and reception. Excellent WiFi connection - we faced timed Australia without any problem. Comfortable beds and the quiet location and lack of street lighting allowed some much needed sound sleep!

- Mrs Rutter, December 2013
Helen December 2013

“A beautiful cosy cottage in a great location.”

A good fire when we got it going. Nicely furnished and very comfortable. Had a great break away, will definitely be coming back again.

It has been very well equipped, and is nicely furnished.

- Jennifer, November 2013
Isabel October 2013

“We loved the setting of the cottage and the privacy afforded to us was great.”

It was nice to know that if required we could contact the owners/caretakers at any time. The whole experience at this lovely cottage and village was more than we hoped for, and have spread the word about it to family and friends.

- Isabel, October 2013
David October 2013

“A very peaceful, homely cottage with light airy rooms.”

Well located for access to the main tourist attractions of The Lakes, or those quieter spots more off the beaten track. Good pub (Royal Oak) with excellent food at the top of the village. Railway station at Grange is handy for accessing walks at Silverdale and Arnside or beyond.

- David, October 2013
Jackie August 2013

“Great location and very pleasing property to stay in.”

- Jackie, August 2013
Julie August 2013

“Peaceful setting, no disturbances, never stayed in a cottage before and really enjoyed the experience, I would love to stay in one again, did not really want to leave!”

Everything there you could possibly need. The area is really pretty, there is so much to see and do you will never be bored in the Lake District. Must try the world famous sticky toffee pudding from Cartmel well worth a visit. The nearest town Grange-over-Sands has many interesting shops and cafes and walk a long the promenade.

- Julie, August 2013
Michael August 2013

“Location was great and was only a short drive from Lake Windermere and other places of interest.”

The cottage was exactly as shown in all the pictures, it was comfortable and clean throughout. The staff at the local pub were friendly and the food was good. A great holiday thank you.

- Michael, August 2013
Neville July 2013

“This was a very well cared for, clean, warm and cosy cottage in a quiet village setting.”

- Beryl, September 2012
Ian August 2012

“The cottage nicely decorated, especially kitchen and main bathroom and is very clean throughout.”

We found that it was quite central. Local pub is only a couple of minutes walk as mentioned, as was the village shop (I'm normally sceptical about these types of claims).

- Ian, August 2012
S May 2012

“We enjoyed the cottage garden and the rustic feel to the house.”

- S, May 2012
Mr Smith May 2012

“A lovely peaceful cottage and an excellent base for touring.”

We would recommend to anyone. 9 out of 10 on everything, and thanks again Sykes for your excellent service.

- Mr Smith, May 2012
Robert December 2011

“The cottage was warm and cosy, nice at this time of year.”

The open fire was nice at night and added to the comfort, although you had to turn off the central heating as it got too warm. The local Pub, Lindale Arms, provided excellent fare and was only a two minute walk from the cottage.

- Robert, December 2011
Linda December 2011

“We loved the cottage and will be booking to go back in the spring!”

- Linda, December 2011

The Lindale Inn has excellent food and friendly locals. Grange-over-Sands is just up the road and the Lakeland Wildlife Park was fabulous as was the Aquarium.

- Tina, February 2011
Jennifer November 2010

“Delightful cottage, beautifully presented, perfect venue for a family reunion and trip down memory lane.”

Went well for the two kids and they were so excited and loved the place.

- Jarrod, August 2010
Andrew June 2010

“The location of the cottage was perfect for days out by car exploring the Lake District, Windermere was only 25 minutes away.”

It was also a very quiet spot with no road noise.

- Andrew, June 2010
Robert June 2010

“We liked where the cottage is situated, finding it easy to get to the lakes at Bowness and Windermere.”

Quiet and relaxing.

- Robert, June 2010
Paul May 2010

“A very restful location with excellent views.”

- Paul, May 2010

We also really enjoyed the log fire, which made the lounge very snug and cosy.

- Cherrill, April 2010
Faith April 2010

“I love everything about it.”

In fact I would love to buy it if it is ever up for sale.

Our first introduction was through a very picturesque path which formed the front garden, leading to the patio area. The location was brilliant - very close to a shop and two pubs and really handy for lots of walks around and about.

- Pauline, June 2009

Nigel January 2007

“The cottage is located in a quiet village but near a main route so getting around was easy.”

The cottage itself was wonderful - roomy and with all "mod cons", yet with a cosiness about it, added to by the log fire which was wonderful on cold evenings.The view from the kitchen across the small valley was lovely. An ideal holiday base for up to four people. I will definitely be booking Beacon High again!

About the location

LINDALE

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Cartmel 3.6 miles; Windermere 12 miles.

Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. The Lake District has so much to offer, there is sailing on Windermere, cycling in The Grizedale Forest, Go Ape Treetop adventures, Birdwatching at Leighton Moss and The Foulshaw Osprey Experience. There are also stately homes at Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle and a heritage steam railway which runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is also a short journey away. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk away.

May we politely ask that you use energy sensibly - Little things like turning off lights when you leave the room, think when you turn up the heating, and only using dishwashers when full and at the appropriate temperature setting, all contribute towards more sustainable holidays and positively impact the environment.
