Price Match Guarantee

If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.

Conditions:

The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.

Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.

This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.

How to claim:

Send the evidence we’ve asked for above to pricematch@sykescottages.co.uk along with your booking reference.

  • "We have stayed at this cottage before and loved it."

    However, nothing seems to have been done here since our last visit and the property is in need of re-decorating and sprucing up as it is looking very tired.

  • "Lovely stay in Cottage 3, went with 2 friends and we all had a great time and enjoyed the local area."

    Next to no issues with my stay, facilities were great aside from there being no door on the shower (you just have to be careful). Would definitely recommend

  • "Parking was difficult as a car was parked in our spot and it was also taking up 2 spaces."

    No one knew who it belonged to. Maybe better marking/signs might help. Double bunk beds were great for our older kids.

    We had a lovely few days in cottage 3 very spacious & clean & ideal location for walks & will definitely think about staying again the pictures don’t do it any justice

  • "The cottage was clean and had every thing we needed, The location is really nice, with good walks, pub with in walking distance, and a lovely cafe up the road, all are dog friendly, only down side it doesn't have its own garden and only a shower and not a bath, but I did know this when I booked."

    I do think that the owners could leave a small bottle of milk in the fridge just to start you off.

  • "We attended the Keswick Christian convention and had a wonderful week."

    Although we loved the cottage and its position there are some things I can point out. I didnt find the lighting good enough for reading in an evening. I wasnt warm enough in the bedding - spare blankets? The toilet we think was leaking round the bottom. The parking for 3 was difficult to get out of/into. Apart from that all fine!

  • "This was the second time I stayed with you."

    The situation was ideal for walking which was my main interest. The cottage was very comfortable in every way. The only negative point, is the lack of outside space, but this was not a problem for me but could be for a family. I will be back! David

  • "Clean comfortable and well equipped cottage."

    Good variety of walks from the door. Keswick good shops and very dog friendly. Unfortunately we had to cut short our stay due to noisy neighbors in the adjoining cottage who had the TV on very loud until 1am , and after 3 nights of very little sleep we decided to leave. The owner has been made aware of this and was very apologetic. My husband did actually speak to the people next door as we were packing up and he wasn’t aware the TV was loud he was asleep

Old Farmhouse Mews, Cumbria

Nestled right in the heart of Braithewaite village in a stunning region of Cumbria, surrounded by towering fells waiting to be climbed, Old Farmhouse Mews offers a wonderful collection of accommodation for large groups. Each is wonderfully appointed with plenty of space to unwind with your loved ones after an adventure in the local area. You can return to cook up tasty meals in the kitchen and get together around the dining table, before relaxing into your evening and making the most of an idyllic setting. Outside there is a communal yard with seating for you to sit out and soak up a warm summer's afternoon with a drink, and there is plenty of parking for several cars. Braithwaite is a very desirable village, with three good pubs, one which has been runner up for several years for CAMRAs prestigious pub of the year award, along with a village shop serving freshly baked bread and other produce. From the village are many fell walks, including the Coledale Round, offering an awe-inspiring trail through a classic u-shaped valley with stunning views and not a walk to be taken lightly. The Whinlatter Visitors Centre is close by and is great for children, with a tea room hosting a balcony for viewing red squirrels and woodland birds, an outdoor play area, mountain bike trail and several paths to explore around the forest. Venture across to Keswick for numerous shops and restaurants, as well as a visit to the Derwent Pencil Museum, Keswick Museum and Art Gallery and the famous Theatre by the Lake. There is also miniature golf, excellent parks, a climbing wall, and opportunities for fishing and mountain biking, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the Borrowdale Valley is not to be missed or is the Castlerigg Stone Corcle, thought to be 5000 years old. With so much to see and do in the surrounding area, bring your loved ones along to share a memorable break in Cumbria.

BRAITHWAITE

Keswick 3 miles.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
