“Cottage has everything you need and more, loads of kitchen ware, beds are really comfortable, it's the best I've slept for a while.”

The dogs loved the stream and the field just outside the cottage which is accessible through a gate in the back garden, very clean and warm. Views are amazing especially when the bi-folding doors are open, we loved this and are looking to book again for next summer.

“Erbel is a beautiful and extremely well located cottage at the end of a small row in Threlkeld with views all around.”

Short drive into Keswick for shopping or a short walk out of the back gate alongside the stream to the local pub. Similarly you can just trot out of the back gate and find yourself at the foot of Blencathra for a challenging walk. Very comfy beds.. light and airy throughout. Perhaps just missing a fire if you come in the winter months.

“Great location, very clean, well presented and equipped, only small negative limited TV stations.”

Friendly neighbour who was able to give us lots of information about the area and its history. Our holiday was great and good to get away after the year to date, the only negative I can say has nothing to do with the property, local Pub, visited three times during our stay, not once were we asked for our details and on the last night, they lost our food order! after an hour it was us who highlighted the situation, their reaction "totally unacceptable so we walked-out! As owners of a Sykes property in Cornwall appreciate feedback and to experience and learn from other cottages.

Mrs Haslam September 2020

“The cottage was well positioned in Threlkeld with views across the valley towards St Johns in the Vale.”

Single track to the house, fields in front of the cottage with sheep, chickens, pony and wild rabbits to watch. To the back of the cottage there was a small back garden with Red Squirrels visiting every day and owls hooting when dark. Great central position to explore the lakes and walks from the doorstep. Eribel Cottage was well equipped, spacious, comfortable and welcoming. The laundry area was excellent for drying wet clothes and boots. (inevitable at times in The Lakes!) I would definately recommend this cottage and hope to visit again.

“The cottage was in a beautiful position and contained everything we needed.”

Unfortunately we did not find it all that clean and because pets are allowed some areas smelt of dog.

“Super holiday cottage in wonderful location.”

Finished to a high standard. Will definitely want to stay there again.

Ms Dearing July 2019

“We had an amazing holiday at Eribel Cottage - it's in a fantastic location with sheep grazing on your doorstep, amazing views across the village of Threlkeld and the fells beyond.”

Lot's of country walks nearby which was great for both us and the dog. Only a short drive into Keswick to pick up supplies. Super friendly village with a great pub and coffee shop - both dog friendly. The cottage was really lovely, very well appointed and a real home from home. Comfortable beds, super bathrooms and showers, great kitchen/diner, spacious lounge, and a good selection of TV channels. If we were asked what would make Eribel even better - we would suggest an outside wahsing line and some new garden furniture as the current table and chairs a bit rusty. Overall 10 out of 10 and would definitely book again! Thank you :-)

Mr Sharp July 2019

“Our holiday cottage in the village of Threlkeld was well equipped, comfortable and provided us with an excellent base for the Lake District with a home-from-home feel.”

Dogs welcome meant we were all able to enjoy the holiday without any worries. A rep from Sykes phone the day after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. I don't recall any other letting company we have used do that and we appreciated the effort. We will be returning to the Lakes and will be using Sykes again for our booking.

Mr Ashman May 2019

“We have rented Eribel cottage on a number of occasions and last year we felt that the cottage wasn't as clean as we had found previously.”

This year, however, there was a definite improvement and we enjoyed our stay. We did look at booking again for next year but it seems as if the rental cost has increased significantly from last year?

- Mr Ashman, May 2019
Mrs Paget March 2019

“It was a fantastic cottage, very comfortable with amazing views.”

A very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Seeing the red squirrels every day was a bonus. The only downside was the heating which didn't seem to work properly, upstairs was fine but downstairs the underfloor heating didn't seem to work, but other than that it was a lovely cottage

- Mrs Paget, March 2019

Thank you for your observations and trust you enjoyed the facilities and location of Eribel Cottage. It is a pity you found the heating was a problem, one that has occurred before when the electric radiators were used to increase the temperature of the living accommodation. Electric radiators are provided in case the central heating breaks down. If the electric radiators are used in conjunction with the underfloor heating, the heat output raises the temperature above that set on the thermostat which shuts down the underfloor heating. I thank you again for your feedback and hope to see you again in the future. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Pascoe March 2019

“Great cottage.”

Very clean. Fantastic views, perfect position. In an ideal world there would be a fire and the TV would be lower on the wall, but pretty small things in the overall picture. We've just had our third holiday there and will be back next year.

- Mrs Pascoe, March 2019
Mrs Evans February 2019

“We had an amazing time this is are second visit to the cottage and will definitely be booking to go back .”

I could not fault any thing about this holiday . And the booking facility are very helpful and the communication is excellent . Looking forward to booking my next one

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, best we've stayed in”

- Mrs Isherwood, January 2019
Mrs Yeats November 2018

“Great location in a quiet, peaceful area.”

Walks on your doorstep and fabulous views from the house. The property has been beautifully refurbished and modernised and is very well equipped, probably because the owners use it themselves, making it more of a home. Just a couple of criticisms. The duvet is only king size and doesn't fit the super king bed. It's also not thick enough for autumn/winter use. We had to pinch the duvet from another bedroom to keep warm. The underfloor heating in the lounge is inadequate and didn't really seem to warm up. There were a number of evenings when we were quite chilly. When we tried to turn the heating up it kept flicking back to a lower temperature. It was as if it was being controlled elsewhere! Also the entire heating went off at 9.30 in the morning. There were some strange anomalies with the heating which we never really understood, particularly upstairs which was off more than it was on and the heated towel rail in the bathroom only came on for a few hours in the evening!! Really don't like being cold when we're on holiday.

- Mrs Yeats, November 2018

“Had a great time.”

Fantastic location. Lovely and quiet.

Mrs Chamberlin June 2018

“As you know, we had to get in touch with yourselves on arrival re the state of the cleanliness of the cottage.”

Two ladies from the Keswick office came over straight away and saw for themselves a multitude of unclean areas including one of the beds. They immediately set to and changed bedding, cleaned floors and dusted. They quite agreed that the cottage should not have been left in that state - a stomach churning start to our holiday! I must say from the initial phone call with Gary to the girls coming round, I felt that your staff did all they could to put matters right including a refund of £100 at the end of the holiday. The disappointing start to the holiday at Eribel Cottage will not put us off booking the property again as it is so beautiful and so tastefully done. I think the owners would have been saddened to see that it had been so let down because of the lack of cleaning! Thank you to Karen and team for putting things right and I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the week.

“Excellent base for the lakes”

If your hesitating regarding this cottage, don't, just book it, you won't regret it. It's great to see an owner that understands the type people who rent this property are not the type to pinch dishwasher tablets, all is provided in this occomodation, the owner has thought of everything. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage.

“Ideal for comfort and location.”

Beautiful house, modern, spacious and well-equipped. It is positioned perfectly at the end of a short road with a stream (gill) running along the side and stunning views of Blencathra to the rear and side and Clough's Head across the valley. Walks can be straight from the door with access to the path by the stream either into the village or up Blencathra. The village is nice with 2 friendly pubs and a surprisingly good coffee shop. However, be aware that there is no shop in the village so come prepared or its down to Keswick for provisions. Obviously word is getting around about this property. When we booked at the end of last year availability was not a problem. However, we considered returning later this year and found it was booked solid until Oct! Not surprised really, we have stayed in several cottages in and around the Lakes and Northumbria and this is undoubtedly the best. Other than the lack of a local shop and, to some perhaps, the noisy rooks (I think) nesting in the trees alongside the house there are no downsides. We would certainly recommend it and expect to stay again in the future.

- Colin P, March 2016

Thank you for your review of Eribel Cottage. New in 2015 the owners have thought about and considered every aspect of the cottage and have produced a cottage of very high quality which is proving very popular to holidaymakers visiting the area. I am very sorry that the dates you hope to return are already booked and do hope that you will be able to stay again in the future. Thank you very much for your kind comments. Sykes owner relations

“Lovely lovely cottage, clean, warm, welcoming, modern”

This is a great cottage, well thought out and very comfortable. The views are fantastic. It's easy to waste a morning just sitting in the living room with a cup of tea and looking out at Clough Head. Floors downstairs are generally wood or stone tile (limestone?), which makes them very dog and outdoor shoe friendly. There's underfloor heating which means everything dries really quickly. The kitchen is well equipped and there is even a decent dishwasher. Upstairs in the bedrooms the carpets are new and are probably expensive. You sink gently into them. The zip and link bed in the main bedroom seems enormous. The sheets and bed linen are good quality. Internet connection is a standard BT hub, I think, and works well. Bit difficult to think of any downsides. An en suite would have been nice but the layout doesn't really mean you can do this easily. The pros of everything else outweigh that one disadvantage. There are leather sofas in the living room which I am not keen on, but that is just a personal thing.

The property

This lovely cottage is only 4 miles from Keswick and 1 mile from Keswick Golf Club, in the picturesque Threlkeld village.

At the foot of Blencathra mountain, you’ll find amazing views to Helvellyn and beyond here. This light and airy cottage, with lovely oak flooring, has folding doors at the front, and French doors on the side, to maximise the gorgeous view.

With access to the garden from the lounge, front and rear patios, and a garden, this is a place for all the family to enjoy the countryside. The lounge has comfortable seating and plenty of space for all the family to gather, and a wall mounted TV with Netflix if the weather’s bad.

The diner/kitchen is beautifully done with a dining table and a breakfast bar.

There’s also a utility room with space for your muddy boots and outdoor clothes, so you don’t have to walk through the house when you’ve just been hiking, and a superb downstairs shower room completes the ground floor.

Upstairs you’ll find a lovely master bedroom with a super king-sized bed, another king-sized room with dual aspect for stunning views, a single bedroom, and a pretty family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Outside through the French doors, you’ll find a patio with dining furniture and a lawned garden for your private use, all perfect for enjoying the amazing views. Eribel Cottage is right at the foot of Blencathra for hiking right on your doorstep, and the village of Threlkeld is close by, with its mining history and pretty cottages.

You’ll find home cooked food and local ales in the pubs, and fantastic walks to Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick Railway Path, and the Cumbrian Way.

And if you’re a keen golfer, Keswick Golf Club is only one mile away. Travel just four miles to the town of Keswick, with its shops and restaurants, the Pencil Museum, Mining Museum, crazy golf at Hope Park and a lot more to see and do.

And Derwentwater isn’t far for sailing, water sports and more amazing walks. Eribel Cottage is well-placed for a busy and fun family holiday with so much to enjoy and explore, and a luxury cottage to come home to at the end of the day.
