"As before, an excellent property."
Quite the best we’ve stayed in in the Lake District. Exceptionally well appointed.
Just to mention the large frying pan didn’t seem to work on the induction hob.
Many thanks for your comments, we are delighted to know that you enjoy staying at South View.
Thank you for also mentioning that the large frying pan didn't work on the hob. We have now replaced it. Property Owner

"If you are looking for a quiet retreat South View is that place."
We had such a fantastic week stay there and the gardens are so beautiful. The house is very well equipped, in fact it is one of the best ones. And we have stayed in quite a few Sykes cottages. Would highly recommend this place 10/10. Will definitely be coming back.
We are glad you enjoyed your time at South View and thank you for your positive feedback. Property Owner

"In almost all respects this is a perfect property."
The accommodation is faultless and by and large everything we needed was provided. Just two minor points: the waste bin was not lined with a bag and there was very little washing up liquid. We bought our own bin liners.
I know this is not the fault of the owners but we were disappointed that there was no opportunity to segregate our refuse as we did at home.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you found most aspects of South View to your liking.
We are extremely sorry for the couple of minor oversights you mention and have asked our housekeeper to make sure that these items continue to be provided in the future. Property Owner

"This is a beautifully maintained, spacious and exceptionally well located apartment."
The views are outstanding and the rooms spacious and comfortably furnished to a high standard. The gardens are lovely (and peaceful outside of school holidays!). The kitchen is very well appointed and with every gadget a keen amateur cook could wish for. It is also well stocked with toys, games and books and tourist info. Highly recommended!

"A truly wonderful property in a beautiful location, quiet and peaceful, yet just minutes from Keswick and convenient for getting around the Lake District."
The apartment is extremely spacious, elegant, and tastefully furnished with the most wonderful views from its large living room, terrace and grounds. It offers period charm with all mod cons, especially in the kitchen which is comprehensively stocked. Everything was immaculately clean, providing a comfortable and welcoming base for a Lakeland holiday. We loved everything about it.

"Fabulous property."
Very well appointed kitchen. Comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms, warm throughout the property, fantastic large lounge with space to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. Plenty of books, games, puzzles and DVDs and a chess set. Nothing was wanting. Would highly recommend this property and hope to return again one day.

"This was a return visit and we really like this apartment."
However, as with last year, we felt that the cleaning left something to be desired. It seems as though the cleaner cleans the bits he/ she can see but does not go the extra mile. This year the sofa in the sitting room was covered in toast crumbs ( you wouldn’t notice unless inspected properly as it is patterned). We also had to hoover the rug ourselves before being able to start a jigsaw, as the rug was dirty! Neither bedroom had been dusted properly, only a cursory dust along edges etc. In the bathrooms it seemed as though they had been mopped without first being swept, as behind the doors there were patches of wet scum/dust. It is such a shame because it’s such a cosy place to stay with amazing views. These comments would not stop us returning again but it takes the edge off a lovely stay.
Owner response: Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We do endeavor to make South View as comfortable as possible for our visitors and are naturally very disappointed by your findings. I have spoken to our housekeeper and she will address these matters with our cleaner. On her advice, we have arranged to replace the vacuum cleaner with one which is more flexible and easier to handle. We will also reinstate our periodic inspection visits which we regret have been curtailed this year, due to our personal circumstances, and the pandemic.
If you should return to South View and do not find everything as you (and we) expect, do please contact our housekeeper as soon as possible so that any issues can be promptly address so as not to detract from your stay. Property Owner
