Tethera

We had a lovely stay at Tethra.

Stunning views, peaceful. Very relaxing sitting outside, had a visit from deer one morning. Lots of birds in garden also. Very comfy beds, everything to a high standard. Walk into Keswick town was nice (2.5km) via K2T trail good also. We were spoilt with a hot week of weather so walk back to cottage was bit slower as partially uphill (40 min) but then discovered only £5 for cab! Great places to eat and pubs to enjoy cooling off after hikes. Great location for hikes or just sitting by lake enjoying the scenery. Did lots of walks from cottage so didn't use the car for a few days. Keswick is stunning.. Look forward to revisiting. Thanks for the wine & chocolate also.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Tethera.

It was clean and well equipped. The location was brilliant, half hour walk to Keswick along the old railway. We would definitely like to return at some point.

Property was clean welcoming and warm

Lovely apartment, very well equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay. :)

Lovely property very comfortable and well maintained.

We would definitely consider another visit. Surroundings were lovely, nice quiet area but within easy reach of the town.

Lovely property but perhaps in need of repainting.

The property was beautiful and in a great location.

It was very clean & comfortable and very well equipped and peaceful. It was so nice to have the outside space and we enjoyed identifying the different birds on the feeders! Thank you also for the wine & chocolates, that was very kind and appreciated. We would definitely like to stay there again when we are next in the area!

Having stayed in various apartments in feildside grange over many years they never dissapiont.

The icing on the cake will be if the new owners of the adjacent property enable improvements to be made to the access drive. We look forward to our next visit.

The owner of Tethera seemed to have thought of everything.

A wonderful apparent,with stunning views of the fells around Derwent water. All the facilities were first class.

This was our second visit to Tethera and we were not disappointed.

The property is well-appointed with everything you need for an enjoyable and extremely comfortable stay. Will definitely be back, Thank-you

Tethera was a gorgeous apartment.

It had great views and all the comforts you need,it was a home away from home. It is a great location for many walks and I would highly recommend this apartment for a great stay in the lakes.

Lovely setting, well equipped cottage up steep drive

The drive up to the property was difficult for us driving in a mini, big pot holes and ramp .

There was scaffold around the property which affected the look , but didn’t particularly affect our stay. However we were very rudely awoken one morning with loud music and workmen walking across our breakfast terrace taking the scaffolding down. This was very disturbing and I felt considering the high cost and ecxpectations of the holiday I should have been informed at the point of booking, or offered alternative accommodation, so that I could have made an informed choice about booking this property. For these reasons I would not book Sykes’s cottages again and would not recommend to friends and family.

Cottage was superb the only complaint I have is with customer service as I notified you the next day after booking this that we couldn’t attend until the Sunday as we had a wedding on Saturday but you refused to refund us for the one night even though I did contact you straight away & you said you had already paid the owner which I do not believe?

Because of this I will not be using your company again !

Ideal base to tour the Lakes, only criticism would be the driveway to Tethera.

Excellent accommodation, everything you need

The accommodation was wonderful, it was homely and comfortable with everything you might need.

It's set in an idea location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and views of Catbells, but set close enough to Keswick for a spot of retail therapy. The owners care and consideration is truly welcomed, and we look forward to our next visit.

Tethera is a lovely apartment with every little extra provided.

The views from the patio and grounds are stunning. An excellent base for walking and again maps and walking books are all provided. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return.

Everything was just perfect.

Appliances very high spec

A very nice and well equipped apartment.

I scored it 3 out of 4 for the accuracy of the listing only because it did not make clear the unsurfaced drive. In all other respects I would give top marks for this apartment.

A comfortable and well equipped ground floor apartment sitting to the LHS of the Grange, so its rather shaded and slightly limits enjoyment of the scenery from the windows.

The drive is clearly a current issue, the other advice we would offer is this is the first cottage that we've stayed where there wasn't a few teabags/milk for a refreshing brew after a few hours drive, so do go prepared ! Inevitably the weather dictates the agenda but we had 2 or 3 super days and would not hesitate in returning to Tethera.

Everything was as described in the property details.

Having stayed in various apartments at Fieldside Grange in the past, we are never disappointed. We look forward to the proposed improvements to the drive to make it perfect for our needs.

A beautiful apartment.

Well equipped, comfortable and very clean. A great position above Keswick with good views of the surrounding fells. Having driven to a few self catering cottages down farm tracks with pot holes before, we were not too worried about the driveway. However, it was far worse than we anticipated with long, deep ruts on one side. It would not be a problem for a 4x4 or a vehicle that has good clearance from the ground. But, for drivers of cars whose chassis sits low to the ground, it is a real challenge to avoid damage to the underside of the car. We did manage, but decided not to risk taking the car out all week. We’re keen walkers so this wasn’t too much of a hardship for us, but think other prospective renters should be made aware.

Superb property.

30 minutes (uphill !) walk from Booths Supermarket... Follow directions meticulously, the last two right turns are tricky, particularly in the dark. If possible, set sat-nav to the actual building (a hollow square or L at the end of a J-shaped drive).

The apartment was excellent so cosy and peaceful we would have liked to have stayed longer.

The only downside was the very rough drive which was more suited to four wheel drive vehicles than normal cars.

A lovely apartment.

Furnished and equipped to a high standard. We were very comfortable here. The tranquil setting and fabulous views completed our stay.

Excellent location with easy access to the town and countryside.

Everything needed was provided, from all the kitchen utensils to birdseed and vinyl gloves. The whole place exuded understated luxury. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was powerful. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay so it didn't matter that the Lake District weather caused us to stay in some days. This property is #1 on the list when we return.

This was the second time for us at Tethera it's absolutely beautiful.

We had a lovely stay in Tethera - close enough to Keswick to walk via the Keswick2Threkeld rail path but away from the crowds in the height of summer.

Lovely views from the patio and particularly from the main grounds. The accommodation is very nice with good quality furniture and kitchen/bathroom fittings. It feels like a second home rather than a holiday cottage business and so there's also useful things you'd have at home but not necessarily expect in a rental. Thank you so much for the Nespresso machine - I nearly brought our own so was delighted to see it! Slight negatives is the dehumidifier, the noise of which rather got on our nerves and ideally the trees would be cut back to let in more light. All in all though really enjoyed it, thank you.

The apartment is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside.

However, there are a few things to consider. 1) it’s not as close to facilities as advertised. It’s actually quite far away. It’s a good 20 min walk to a pub (low rated pub) and a shop at Shell, and on the way back this walk could be a good 30min since it’s up a steep hill. 2) to get to the property you have to a take a proper steep trail road which is quite dangerous and could result in tire puncture. 3) The appt is quite dark. 4) that was our first stay in the uk in rented accommodation where no tea / coffee was provided.

Lovely apartment, perfect on the ground floor for my elderly father.

Spotlessly clean and very comfortable - it all felt very new - and everything you could possibly need was there! Fab views over Cat Bells - can't think of anything negative apart from the driveway possibly which was 'interesting'! It was definitely worth the steep climb and bumps to reach the lovely car park with allocated spaces and amazing views - easy for unloading and parking and you did soon get used to tackling the access way. Thanks again.

The location, facilities and generally everything about the accommodation was superb.

We had a great week and are quite likely to return. The walk to town took about 20 minutes once we found the rail path short cut. The walk home was a little more challenging because it is mostly up hill. Directions were spot on, read them and turn your sat nav off when you reach the Keswick sign. Very comfortable property. Great base to explore the beauty of the Lakes. Enjoyed it very much

Fantastic place to stay, very comfortable, with everything you need, and the views are amazing!

Tethera is absolutely beautiful.

Its our first time there but we'll be booking to come back again.

Fantastic apartment, even better than the pictures.

Loved the view our the door to catbells and other nearby hills. Close enough to Keswick, but also far enough for some peace and quiet. Would love to come and stay here again.

It's our fourth visit to Tethera.

We love the location, the layout, the garden and the peace and quiet. We would recommend / request a change to the lounge seating which is now uncomfortable. Also very disappointed at the new pricing for next year so will need to seriously consider if we want to return at this price which is a £300+ increase! (is this covid related?)

This is a beautiful and well equipped apartment.

Great views. Very clean Highly recommended Local town about 20 minutes walk

On arrival at the cottage there was a note to say checkout time was 9am and not 10am as per all holiday documentation - this should have been advised in pre-travel pack not at the destination.

Sofa and armchairs are very much showing their age and are not as comfy as in previous visits so are ready for an upgrade. The cleanliness of the property was exceptional which was very reassuring in these COVID times so many thanks to the cleaning team.

Lovely place to stay and well equipped.

Comfy furniture after a day on teh fells and a well laid out kitchen (not that we used it!). Would definitely stay here again

Our first visit to the Lake District in 12 years and we'd forgotten how lovely it was!

Tethera is in a fabulous location and very comfortable and well equipped. We sat out in the evening with a drink to enjoy the view (although a little cold!) The walk up to Castlerigg Stone Circle is well worth it. We did some beautiful walks including Rydal Caves and water. Buttermere, Catbells and we managed Scafell Pike. We would recommend Honister Slate Mine. We braved the Via Ferrata Xtreme which was amazing, although quite scary!

Tethera is a fantastic place to stay, very comfortable and spacious and everything you need to hand.

We had brought our ownwalk books but the walks from Keswick and Ambleside won out and we did completely new to us walks. Weather has been fairly good, not too hot for walking and mainly dry. We have had a lovely week and we will be back!

This was our first visit to the Lake District and we loved it.

The walks and the scenery reminded us of Austria. Tethera has everything we could wish for and we love the location. We also enjoyed the array of birds visiting especially the family of Woodpeckers, Thank you!

Our 7th visit to the Lakes since 2019 and as always we loved it.

Tethera has been outstanding. The cleanliness, location, facilities all 10/10. we will be returning! To have the view of Catbells is priceless. Thank you!
