    “The accommodation was brilliant, everything in the cottage made for a warm and comfortable stay.”

    Lovely touch with books and maps and welcome biscuits! However- the description of Little Winder implied that it was on the edge of Askham which was misleading as it was 2 miles outside the village and the narrow road and then the single rutted farm track with areas of deep unavoidable pot- holes was not at all pleasant and inhibited us returning to the cottage as much as we would have liked.

    Thank you for your feedback, especially regarding the accommodation. We are sorry that Sykes misleadingly describe us as being on the edge of Askham. We will ask them again to alter this to accurately describe our location. The 'farm track' as you describe it had taken a battering due to the bad weather and the animals that the Lowther Estate keep on the fields as part of their 'Rewilding' campaign. These pot holes have since been filled by the maintenance team from the Lowther Estate that own the road. Property Owner
