This included full details of how to find the apartment, including a detailed map of the Harbour area, where to park, and instructions for locating the keys. Inside we found full details regarding heating and all the appliances. Further, there were folders in the apartment containing information on local places of interest, as well as Cumbria generally. The January weather was betimes atrocious - wet and very windy, when No.30 proved perfect for a 'retreat'. When fine the Harbour area lovely to explore.

- Mr Slann, January 2020

- Mr Raitt, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback. Should you have made us aware of any issues during your stay, we would have endeavored to rectify these for you immediately. Since your stay, we have inspected the property with our cleaner and found all to be satisfactory. Sykes owner relations
“Generally a satisfactory holiday cottage.”

Just a couple of issues. Lack of dishes for oven use. Kitchen utensils needed updating. Settees in lounge could be changed for a firmer sitting experience. Carpet in lounge stained in one area. Otherwise all went well.

The only thing (and it's only minor) was the shower was a bit temperamental going from cold to really hot with no resetting of the control

Harbourside was was very comfortable and sited in maryport in relatively new build part of town was a good base for seeing local attractions like Ullswater Ravenglass railway Muncaster castle etc however Maryport itself was bit rundown couple of local pubs the Lifeboat being one did excellent evening meals

- Mr Reading, June 2019
“I’ve put failed to meet expectations because we had problems with the shower, day of arrival shower worked ok, Monday the shower blew out the electrics to the apartment so the caretaker was able to tell my husband where the main fuse box is down the stairs, he also told us that this wasn’t the first time this had happened and that they was having problems to arrange an electrician to come out because of there bookings, but without us knowing the shower had broken down completely because when we went to have another shower Wednesday the shower failed to work meaning we hadn’t had a shower in three days, because Thursday we decided we would have to cut our holiday short, before leaving we called and told the caretaker that the shower had broke down completely and he told us he had arranged for an electrician to come out Friday morning which was no good for us, it’s not really good management knowing that there is a problem with an integral part of the facilities and still hire out the apartment before having it looked at first .”

- Mrs Woodward, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback. The owners apologise for the problems you had with the shower during your stay. They would like you to know that they had been told previously by a gas/electrics engineer that it was probably due to low water pressure in the building when demand was high. The owners called in a qualified electrician the day after they were told that the shower was not working at all. He has now upgraded the electrics so that future guests will not experience any problems. They hope that the inconvenience caused did not affect your overall stay at Harbour Side. Sykes owner relations
“Lovely clean apartment with good facilities in peaceful location, close to amenities.”

Good base to visit lots of attractions either within walking distance or by train or bus. Love the fact that you can have a “car free” week if you wish. Very relaxing! Very good communication with the owner who provided excellent information about the area and its history.

- Miss Carr, May 2019
“Maryport was a bit of a strange place to holiday in but we found that there was plenty to do.”

Lots of historical interest, beautiful coastline and good view from the flat. The weather was great and we had a brilliant week.

- Miss Barrell, May 2019
“Harbour Side is a spacious, well appointed first floor apartment with superb views over the harbour at Maryport and beyond to the Galloway coastline.”

Spotlessly clean and comfortable with central heating it is an ideal location for a relaxing break. It is close to all local attractions and a great starting point for walks along the coastal path. Marport has a train station and decent bus service making it a good base travelling further afield in Cumbria.

- Mr Rose, May 2019
“Lovely apartment in superb location overlooking wharf and marina.”

Very peaceful and an ideal base to visit the many attractions and local tourist hotspots e.g Wordsworths House, Keswick etc Would highly recommend, and a further visit would not be out of the question. The apartment was a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay

- Mrs Richardson, March 2019
“We enjoyed our time at Maryport.”

We visited lots of interesting places without having to drive too far. The apartment was very nice with lovely views over the harbour from the living room and both bedrooms. It was clean and comfortable. Our hosts were friendly and kind.

- Mrs Hirst, September 2018
“Very peaceful, close to all amenities just as expected, ideal for Hose who just want to relax.”

- Mrs Payne, September 2018
“Fantastic flat in an ideal situation We really enjoyed our stay.”

- Mr Cleghorn, August 2018
“We found the apartment on the Harbour side to be the idea situation for the holiday we were looking for.”

We enjoyed being able to park the car and not having to use it for at least half of the week, and still be able to enjoy walking to different locations around the town. We arrived the day before the Carnival and were able to join in the event, The eating and drinking establishments were abundant and gave very good value for money. Our favourite day out was to Cockermouth only 6miles away where there is a fantastic free museum in the back of the hardware shop, and Jennings Brewery where you were able to sample 3 half pints of the beers free of cost. Another good day out was to Allonby and onto Silouth a really old but spacious village. Overall we had a really good holiday with fantastic (un heard of weather) and we certainly will look to Sykes in the future.
