The Annex

Derek and Sue were wonderful hosts, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and help in any way they could.

The Annex is 20 minutes walk from the centre of Ulverston, which is a lively and bustling town with lots to do. That said, The Annex looks out onto fields and is an idyllic location. 20 minutes from the south end of Windermere and 25 minutes from Coniston.

We found the location excellent for visiting the many areas of interest in the South Lakes, Furness & Cartmel Peninsulas with a well-stocked Co-op close by for day-to-day food purchases without having to go in to the centre of Ulverston.

The accommodation was tastefully decorated with restful, rural views and an enclosed garden which was perfect for the dog. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Absolutely brilliant stay in a beautiful place.

The owners are on hand and extremely helpful and accommodating, they're lovely people. The property has everything you need and is immaculate, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely stunning property and location, we had an amazing week at The Annex.

The extras left for us on arrival were a lovely surprise, and it was clear to us that our hosts really go the extra mile for their guests.

Really enjoyed our stay here!

Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation and the owners were so friendly and helpful. We’ve already recommended this property to friends and family if you want a restful and relaxing place to stay. Everything you need is at the property, and if you don’t fancy travelling far there are plenty of places to visit and get your food essentials within 5-10 min drive. There are also walks from the doorstep which was perfect for our dog walks. We loved it here, thank you Derek and Sue!

The Hosts are very friendly, helpful and ensure that everything is to your satisfaction.

The property is fantastic, very moden and has everything you need, the view from the windows is lovely with lots of wildlife close to the property. Would recommend

The owners were so lovely.

Welcomed us with a beer after a long 8 hour drive. Kept our beautiful Airedale happy with daily cooked chicken thighs and treats, always checking how we were and if they could help. Just lovely friendly people. The property was perfect and very dog friendly. We loved our week here.

Wonderful break we had here, if your looking just book it you won't regret it, the annex is beautifully decorated with everything thought about.

Lovely welcome gifts left for our stay very kind. We took our lil pooch suki with us n she settled so well very spacious garden enclosed for her to run around, greeted by the owners who are very friendly and make you feel at home. Suki loved the treats received from sue, thank you! We would highly recommend here views are amazing, town only a walk away.

When we arrived Derek and Sue were there to greet us such lovely people.

The Annex is absolutely stunning, immaculately clean and very modern, the garden and views from the garden are fantastic. We have a little dog Buster and he absolutely loved pottering in the garden he spent more time outside than in. The hospitality we received was second to none from letting us know where to walk with our dog, and even cooking him fresh chicken which he absolutely loved and we were very greatful for, to just checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Their knowledge of the local and surrounding areas were fantastic and very useful. It’s the perfect place to be lots of nice walks nearby to lovely places a short drive away 30 to 40 minutes away at the most. We were lucky to have lovely weather too. I can’t recommend The Annex enough we will definitely be back it’s perfect. Dawn, Andrew and Buster

This was a wonderful accommodation in such a beautiful back drop of the Cumbrian background.

The host were amazing very friendly and really put the effort in, they left lovely things in the accommodation for us to use. Would highly recommend this place especially if you have a dog, they have a lovely set up for your furry ones.

Me and Bruno the spaniel had a wonderful week in this super comfortable annex.

Everything we needed was provided, including a super generous welcome gift of wine and breakfast goodies which lasted us all week! Loved the garden with stream and the super king size bed with TV. Also loved watching the bats from the door at dusk, the views from the garden and the sunsets. A super relaxing and comfortable stay and we would definitely like to come back again. Perfectly situated for the coast and exploring the lake district. Many thanks!

Gorgeous weekend stay at the Annex.

Everything you need for a great stay. The enclosed garden was such an ideal place to just chill and admire the scenery around you. Lots of places within easy reach to walk to. Lovely welcome gifts red wine and breakfast. Owners live next door and very welcoming. Such a lovely place to stay and we will definitely be back - Thank you

Lovely clean property, with everything you need supplied Hosts are friendly and approachable, with a good knowledge of what you can do in the area

Forgot to leave a review for this holiday at the time but what a fantastic stay we had!

The hosts are exceptionally friendly and wanted to make sure we had the best stay ever. We were even offered a chilled beer on arrival which was lovely. They loved seeing Bella (our bunny). The accommodation is beautiful and is maintained and cleaned to a very high standard. It also had the best welcome hamper we've ever received which makes all the difference. The garden attached is lovely and has a stunning view being accompanied by sheep and cows. It's definitely one of, if not the best place we have stayed at during our time using sykes and we hope to stay again at some point in the future. Thanks for having us and keep doing what you're doing. Kindest regards, Anthony

Absolutely stunning place to stay.

Peaceful, welcoming and perfect for your four legged friend. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. Derek and Sue had prepared the best welcome pack we’ve ever had and such a lovely surprise after a long drive. The Annex was presented to the highest standards with a lovely enclosed garden for Bluebell. The skylights above the bed were perfect for stargazing too. We can’t wait to come back.

The Annex was such a lovely place to stay, clean and with everything we needed.

Very peaceful which is what we were aiming for with our anxious dog who loved it and the wonderful garden. The owners had kindly left us a welcome package of breakfast items which was such a lovely thing to find and very thoughtful! The big bed with a TV that rises out of the end was amazing and very relaxing! Highly recommend!

In a word, fantastic!

The property is really nicely done out & cozy. The enclosed garden was a must for our dog. The welcome package included lots of goodies, which were very much appreciated. There’s a Coop around the corner if you need any bits & bobs. Lovely walks from the Annex, with Morecombe bay a mile down the road. Would go again

Great modern Annexe.

The bed was massive with a retractable tv at the end of it. Shower was excellent. Kitchen was good, just couldn’t find a fault. There was a bottle of red waiting for us when we got there and breakfast in the fridge plus bread and milk, fantastic hosting. We did the hill walk up to the monument then on the way back a great pub crawl around Ulverston. There was a charging point for my electric car that was free yes free. Can’t wait to visit again in the summer.

The Annex is a lovely modern holiday let.

Very comfortable TV bed. An amazing welcome pack on arrival. Everything you would need for self catering. Private secure garden for dogs. Lovely walks around the property leading to the beach. The owners are very welcoming and have all the information you would need and more. The temple down the road has a lovely cafe under cover. A great base to visit the beautiful surrounding lakes. We would definitely recommend staying here. Pamela & Dave

I cannot recommend the Annex enough to anyone, absolutely beautiful place with the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen, we were very lucky with the hot weather, sat in the garden every night, you can walk into the town which has the most pubs I have ever seen, perfect!

Derek and Sue the owners were wonderful, even invited us round for a BBQ where our dog Beau made herself right at home. Beautiful walks from the door, this is a perfect location for travelling to Windermere and Buttermere was amazing a must to visit. Very sad to be back at home.

A Gem of a Place!

The Annexe is a beautiful haven. Very friendly and welcoming owners who go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Fantastic welcome pack, one of the best we have ever had - thank you! Whether you want to go walking, sightseeing or just R&R (like we did) - the Annexe has it all. Lovely walks to the beach and a visit to Conishead Priory is a must. We were very lucky with the weather and sat out in the garden every day - the garden is very private and is surrounded by beautiful views, wildlife and cows who come to say hello! The week went so quickly and we didn't want to leave - but we will be going back for sure. Thank you Susan and Derek for a fabulous week and for sharing your haven with us. Gerry & Graham

Lovely property with a nice enclosed garden for the dog and lovely country views.

Very generous welcome pack was a nice surprise

Property was lovely and comfiest bed I have slept in.

Great shower. Very relaxing looking out watching the cows and sheep. Village nearby and lake district 30 mins away. Great walks for the dog. Hosts very welcoming and close by if needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Absolutely First Class!

Beautifully maintained in fact exceptional. Attention to detail and superb Welcome Pack! Loved the location and will certainly return. Huge Thank you to Susan and Derek whom were extremely helpful and kind. My 12 month old Cockapoo loved the secure garden and walks in the surrounding countryside. Nina & Teddy

Wow!

Absolutely amazing, from stepping through the door to leaving for home the best holiday experience ever. 5 star hotels don't go to the lengths that Derek and Susan go to. The accommodation was modern, well equipped and sparkling clean, the welcome pack was a very pleasant surprise, the bed was so big and comfy I didn't want to get up in the morning, and the built in TV in the bottom of the bed was awesome. The hosts could not do enough for us, in fact Sue cooked chicken for our pooch as she was a bit out of sorts. Would I recommend The Annex? In a heartbeat I would, and you have all the Lake District and beyond to explore. Great holiday, big thanks Susan & Derek. Mick & Sue

Such a beautiful property with every possible comfort you could need.

The owners could not do any more to help you with anything you need. Would definitely come back here. So peaceful.

We have just had a fantastic stay at the Annex.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped with a quiet location and lovely views over farmland. The Annex is of very high standard and deserves 5 stars. We would recommend the local pub for a meal and the local fish and chip shop, both in walking distance. Derek and Sue are fantastic hosts and really want you to have the best stay. We were greeted with cold drinks, a breakfast pack and a very warm welcome.

Just back from a fantastic week at The Annex.

Superb cottage fitted out to a very high standard, in beautiful surroundings with friendly, attentive owners on hand for advice on where to go and any problems. (which there wasn't any). Very generous welcome pack so no need to dash off to the shops straight away. Perfect enclosed garden to let dogs wander. One of the best holidays we've ever had so many thanks to Derek and Susan and not forgetting BoBo.

One word.

.... FANTASTIC.... in every aspect of our stay. Fabulously clean, modern property (bed was the best we've slept in). Best hosts ever, who couldnt do enough for us. Even invited us to the friends & family BBQs (Must say Derek is a canny chef) We will 100% be back. Everythig you need & more. Thank you Sue & Derek (AKA Dekka)

Very impressed with the hospitality and welcome we received from the owners, the property was beautifully kept and very clean, the welcome pack was one of the best we have had and made such a difference to our stay.

Nothing was too much trouble, highly recommend!

What can we say it was absolutely fantastic ,the owners could not do enough for us 5 star it should be 10 star ,we have been in a few cottages with Sykes this one beats them all ,when we arrived we where greeted by the owner Derek and asked did we have a save journey and if we needed anything just to ask,when we went in our jaws dropped ,we opened the fridge there was bacon sausage eggs milk butter ,on the bread board there was a large loaf and a pot of jam,the bed room had a super king size bed with a 40 inch television with a press on the remote controle the TV would com up ,I would highly recommend this Annex to anyone

One of the best self catering places we have stayed in.

The Annex is done to a very high standard with every comfort catered for. Derek & Susan were very helpful & nothing was too much trouble. Once again, thank you for the generous welcome pack. We will be back!

We had a lovely peaceful relaxing stay at the Annex, the accommodation was excellent and in a beautiful spot.

The owners were great giving lots of helpful information about the area and places to visit, the welcome pack was a great touch. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Such a beautiful place, we had everything we needed, space for the dog outside to play, Derek and Susan were lovely and very helpful, Will definitely go back again and recommend to others

The Annex was absolutely amazing.

The attention to detail was fabulous. It was extremely clean and very well presented. The Annex was very well located and the owners were very friendly too. Would definitely go back.

What can we say other than the property was perfect for us.

Out of the way but walking distance into Ulverston, Modern, very clean and the bed was just amazing. Lovely touch with the welcome gifts. We can’t wait to stay again in the future. Thank you for having us.

We had a warm welcome from the property owners.

A very generous welcome pack meant we did not have to shop right away. Very much appreciated. The garden was fully secure for our dog. The property was very comfortable and a real home from home. We spent two weeks there and will definitely visit again. The location was ideal for exploring the local area.

Gorgeous property in a lovely quiet area.

Beautiful grounds surrounding also. A walk in to Ulverston which isn’t too far where there’s shops, nice pubs and restaurants. Owner was really nice also and we were greeted with a nice bottle of wine and breakfast things also. Would really recommend the Annex, plenty of choice for eating out but also well equipped kitchen made dining in easy too.

Excellent accomodation, comfortable bed, welcome package was better than any other holiday we've been on.

Hosts we're friendly and gave helpful suggestions for places to visit.

Lovely property, very well equipped.

I would like to say that having outside lights on all night both around the property and also in the owners garden really impacts on a restful nights sleep. There are no curtains against the upstairs end balcony window and the glare really disrupted my sleep all week. They need to be turned off.

The Annex is simply stunning, to its modern look to the tranquil setting.

It couldn't have been more perfect. The hosts are absolutely lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. They gave great suggestions on where to go around the area. When we arrived we noticed a few bits for breakfast for the next morning which was bread, jam, butter, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, milk and some lovely red wine to have on the evening we arrived. We can't wait to go back at some point. But it was honestly lovely! No faults at all.

Great location ,great holiday home and need for nothing!

Great hosts who will help you with any anything you ask. The welcome pack was plenty! Do not buy anything until you see the fridge! The garden was huge for my dog ,an also the bridge leads to nowhere so your dog cant wonder. Very comfortable bed and the recliner sofa was great. If you get the weather its a suntrap back garden and lovely to sit on balcony looking across those stunning views. Booked again for next summer.

Had a fab week at the annex, would like to say how lovely the owners are,and Sid our dog loved them We Will be booking again for next year and highly recommend to stay here Phil and Lisa

Absolutely fab, everything we needed, a lovely hamper was there a lovely touch, the owners very helpful, best nights sleep in ages the bed was so comfy, the Annex was spotlessly clean, fluffy towels and bathrobes were a lovely touch.

We have nothing negative about this lovely cottage, we will be booking again, thank you again for a lovely stay x

Modern, bright, contemporary, fitted out to a very high standard, spacious, with very comfortable big bed & quality bedding for a good nights sleep!

Everything we needed for holiday was provided in the property. Nice touch that the owners provided a ‘welcome pack’ which was very much appreciated. Useful to have some leaflets for local attractions (though we nearly missed them, as they were in the sideboard!). Very friendly owner, we appreciated offers to ensure we had what we needed. Lovely quiet location, great to have outdoor space and with lovely views over farmland. Handy that it was within walking distance (for us) to town and the beach. Very highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, the owners live next door and could not have been more helpful and pleasant.

Very modern accommodation with everything you could possibly need to make your stay a great experience.

The Annex was the perfect getaway.

Very clean and comfortable, Derek and Susan were the perfect hosts, very friendly and always available for a chat and information on places to go. The food they supplied was very welcome after a 4 hour journey and the welcome pack was lovely. I would highly recommend the Annex.

We were very impressed with the Annex.

Spotlessly clean and a welcome surprise to find some provisions had been supplied. Very welcome after a 5 hour drive! The owner was very helpful with advice and guidance on the local area and put us straight when we called Windermere a lake!

Derek and Sue how own the Annex are really welcoming and friendly.

A nice welcome pack and bottle of wine was waiting for us upon arrival. The location, pet friendly accommodation and overall presentation are 1st rate. Genuine owners with a genuine interest in making your stay memorable with a great place means highly rated in our book Would easily recommend to friends and family
