Abbots Reading Mews 2

It was a lovely clean and friendly place to visit.

The accommodation was cosy and had some nice views to look at every morning and late at night. Wildlife around that area was nice to look at, even r dog enjoyed seeing them. Would like to come back again sometime in the future.

It was a lovely place, the only drawback was the steep stairs probably not suitable for people mobility issues , and the shower / bath was very deep and hard to get into could do with a safety handle to get in and out without falling.

The accommodation was spotless very impressed and had everything you would need for your stay.

Enjoyed a fabulous stay here.

So peaceful and quiet. Dogs are really well catered for too. Couldn’t have asked for more. Well placed for visiting different places in the Lakes. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little cottage , perfect for us and our dog .

Well equipped kitchen everything you needed in fact we bought some things ourself to find out it was already there . Great location for exploring the lakes . We had a bit of a scare with our dog having a allergic reaction to something but mark was ever so lovely on the phone and even though he was away and it was Easter weekend he sent me the local vets details which I was extremely grateful for being miles away from home it was quite a worrying situation . 100% would recommend and will hopefully be back as we have more to explore .

1041306) Abbots Reading Mews 2 was set in a beautiful part of the country, accommodation was stunning done and had everything we needed.

...was also pet friendly as this was our 1st doggy holiday away .

Lovely location.

Grounds ideal for dogs, and very well maintained Plenty of places to visit within a short distance.

This was my first time away in the Lakes , I am so pleased I chose Abbotts Reading Mews 2 it was clean, modern and very comfortable.

The cottage is set in some lovely countryside with walks on your doorstep which my dog loved. I was so lucky to have met the owner Mark who was really helpful with local tourists information. I will definitely be returning again for some delightful shorts breaks .

Amazing time at this property!

Everything has been thought of and the accommodation is finished to a very high standard, including the furniture. The accommodation was very clean. The grounds are beautiful, there is a lovely walk through the woods, lots of wild garlic and bluebells. The fenced in area and the wash station for the dog was a great idea. Parking was easy, the accommodation is easy to find and in my opinion, perfect location in the peaceful countryside but yet only a few minutes from the main A road to get to other areas. The owner Mark was in communication prior to the stay and the local knowledge/guides for walks, shops etc was handy.

I had a fantastic stay at Mews 2 with my dog.

When I arrived, Mark and Louise happened to be there and Mark very kindly helped me check in and gave me further information about the property and local area. There was plenty of parking, the location was perfect and there were grassy areas to take my dog first and last thing. It is clear a lot of thought and care has gone into the property - a dog paw wash station outside with hot and cold water, motion activated lights around the courtyard and grass areas. Mark was clear and quick with communication both before and during my stay. The property was clean, cozy, with plenty of storage throughout. I will definitely be returning!

Loved the cottage and the surrounding area.

Very clean. Two good pubs within a short drive. Pillows too hard for us, I'd take my own next time! Also bed is a double not king size, so very cosy. Would definitely go back.

Stayed in Abbots Reading Mews 2 for a week of hiking and exploring the Lakes.

I’ve been using Sykes for 9 years now so always have trust in them. The cottage itself is in a lovely location, grounds are lovely and the farmer next door is a welcoming man! Just very basic inside unfortunately. First cottage I’ve come to where we didn’t have a little welcome pint of milk/ treat etc waiting as a thank you and hello for the cost you pay, each to their own on how they welcome guests but after a 270mile 7hour traffic filled car journey, it was a little upsetting that this wasn’t there as then we needed to go back out to get a pint of milk.. We had 5 hangers in the very large wardrobe, it has been brought up over past comments but it’s not been sorted a minimum of 10-15 hangers should be in there. The WiFi wasn’t the best- although states a stone cottage and the routers is far from the signal etc this day and age there are ways of getting a strong connection with plug in signal extenders so had to drive /walk half way up the road to get signal to then plan our day. Also the bed is extremely uncomfortable, I had a spring pop into my side one night and had to spend the rest of the week on the sofa with a towel as a cover. The room is huge so could easily fit a king size bed too with a good thick topper. We had window cleaners on the Thursday early morning which isn’t the best when walking around after just showering and no warning from the cottage owner. Quite a shame as the cottage and service could be wonderful if a little thought and love went into their business. The little things make such a difference

Stayed here in June 2024.

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect. Very peaceful and many locations just a short drive away. The owners are very helpful, many thanks Mark & Louise. Parking is plentiful and some great walks from the cottage. We would highly recommend staying at this cottage. We were lucky as we had 4 brilliant days of sun and found a fantastic pub The Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank which is about a 15 minute drive with stunning views. Would we stay here again, most definitely. Thanks for a great stay, Derek & Wendy, Byron and Bailey . PS: Also kudos to Sykes Cottages. Booking process very easy with all the necessary correspondence via emails making everything extremely easy.

What a wondeful cottage, everything is well laid out, high quality on all units.

Best we have ever stayed in. Owners were very polite and helpful. Loads of space for the cars and dogs. Very quite and peacefull setting

We had such a lovely weekend.

The property was easy to find, the hosts gave us clear directions on how to find the property and where to collect the key. After a lot of activities during the day, it was nice to come back to somewhere clean and comfy. We were really able to relax in the evenings. The gardens were also really well kept. Everything we needed for a short break away was available in the property. The location was fab, we really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you having us, we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely could not fault the cottage and grounds, we had a fantastic stay, we will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage very clean we would recommend

Very disappointed it wasn’t one level as stated.

Bedroom down stairs my husband has a leg injury.

A lovely break for " one woman and her dog "

The property is lovely, very well maintained and looked after, in a fantastic location close to the lakes and the sea.

Mark was super responsive and helpful. we really enjoyed it!

Excellent location.

Very good facilities. Superb communication from owner.

We definitely recommend Abbot’s Reading, Mews Two.

The property is very clean and comfortable and in a beautiful setting with good access to many places in the Lakes. The owners, Mark and Louise are very helpful and were keen to make our stay a good one. Our two dogs, Danish, Swedish Farm dogs, Baldur and Bensi, although getting old now, enjoyed the walks very much, especially the woodland walk at the back of the property. We would definitely return. Jan and Nik Jorgensen.

Nice little bolt hole, for the most part very comfortable but the kitchen only has basic utensils and the sofa was a little uncomfortable.

The garden and courtyard were lovely and immaculate, our dog Odin loved it.

Amazing stay, very helpful owners and plenty of information about the local area, was worried about some of the reviews regarding the sofa and bed, we found the bed absolutely fine although the sofa would be the only thing stopping me from retuning, after long walks we had nowhere to sit and relax comfortably after.

Apart from that this is a little gem of a place and very well located

We had a lovely stay in Mews 2.

The house is very clean and feels really cosy. It's in a very peaceful area surrounded by fields and farmland which would be great for walking in dry weather (unfortunately not while we were there!), and it's close to the steam railway and the bobbin mill, which we visited and enjoyed very much. Mark (the property owner) was really friendly, helpful and prompt to resolve the small issues we had during our stay. Our dog loved going for short walks in the grounds of the property, and we were happy to have the farm next door when we needed eggs for breakfast. Other reviews on here mention the uncomfortable sofa and bed but they seemed fine to us. The website says the property is on one floor but it's not it's on two floors, although this wasn't a problem. It was a shame that only four coathangers were provided in the nice big wardrobe (I could have mentioned this to the owner and given him a chance to resolve it but I didn't - my fault). So overall, top marks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Abbot’s Reading.

The owner was really helpful, friendly and responsive. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved the outside space and took our dogs up round the woodland and into the dog run several times. The area is really quiet and we certainly managed to escape the Bank Holiday crowds, but there were lots of lovely walks from the doorstep. We would agree with previous reviews that the sofa is not very big and not very comfortable, but other than that, it was perfect.

We had the best time.

Will definitely return. Cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and provided super information about local attractions and walks. Absolutely beautiful and fantastic break.

The property is amazing, very clean and modern and has everything you could want/need from a self-catering property.

However, the bed is extremelly uncomfortable (way too hard) and the sofa is also very worn and unconfortable. The sofa has been mentioned in the comments booked quite a bit. If it wasn't for the two small issues the property would be 5*! We cannot fault anything about it other than this.

Lovely cottage, lovely area,the only problem was the sofa was not very big,and uncomfortable, bed comfortable but not very big , shower over bath needs a hand rail as the bath is very deep and would be difficult if you had any problems with your mobility.

Gardens and dog run great, area beautiful.

A lovely location.

The property was perfect for me and my two dogs. They loved exploring the little wood behind the cottage in the early morning and late evening. Very comfortable.

Very good standard.

A quality, well-appointed property in beautiful location.

Just back from this superb cottage.

The location is perfect. Nicely secluded only 5 minutes in the car to Newby Bridge or Ulverston (10 mins). The cottage is beautiful and finished to a high standard. Perfect for dogs too. Some people have commented on the size of the bed. It was fine and we slept well. We could agree with other comments about the size and comfort of the sofa, but in reality it is just not a problem. The kitchen is well equipped and just outside is great seating area. Parking is plenty and easy. So the burning question is would we go back? Well most definitely yes. So thanks to Mark and Louise (I hope I remembered their names correctly) for a fabulous stay and we will be back. One thing that was odd was that on Thursday it was way too hot to go walking - never known that in the Lakes before. All the Best, del & Wendy

A really nice, well presented holiday cottage.

The cleaning company had done an exceptional job. We hope to stay at this cottage again in the near future. It’s ideally suited for visiting the southern end of the lakes..

Because of storm Arwen the property had no electricity from Saturday 28th at 11:30pm.

We stayed until Sunday 29th and left at 5:00 pm because it was not cold and as the property is all electric no facilities with no feedback when power would be restored.We wish to thank Mark the owner for his help

Such a lovely cottage and beautiful surroundings in the heart of the Lake District.

The perfect setting for a week away. We will definitely be back. Only comment would be to change the bed as it was a little uncomfortable (small and very hard mattress) and the room could fit a larger bed easily. Other than this no complaints !

Lovely place to stay,everything and more in facilities and cleanliness,but the sofa was very uncomfortable,as previous guests had stated

Absolutely beautiful and amazingly clean accommodation in a stunning setting.

The stable conversion had been done to an extremely high standard. The bedding and towels were of an exceptional standard. We absolutely loved our stay, we felt covid safe, extremely warm, cozy and it was very peaceful and quiet. The accommodation is upside down living where the bedroom is downstairs and living accommodation upstairs. When we walked in we immediately noticed how clean it was…. BUT unfortunately the only negative was that we found it difficult to get a decent nights sleep for the first few nights as the pillows were far too hard, the bed was too small in addition, the 2 seater sofa just wasn’t big enough which therefore made it uncomfortable for two people to sit on for any length of time. This was such a shame as it truly is a lovely place to stay. We would obviously recommend but suggest you take your own pillows. I am so sorry to leave feedback which is not 100% as with a couple of tweaks the Mews could be 110%!

Amazing cottage and facilities.

Extremely clean. Location was superb and with plenty of wonderful walks. Lake windermere 10 minutes away, just perfect. Negative and big for us the bed very uncomfortable and matrass and pillows were too hard and the bed to small. The room certainly big enough for a king sized bed. I was really hot too and a fan would have been nice. The sofa upstairs again too small, again enough space for a higher sofa. Certainly don't want to moan but with this change it would be 10/10 for us. Certainly would go back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very well equipped and in a gorgeous location.

Took both our boxer dogs and they had a great time. Would recommend to friends and family and we will be definitely booking again

An excellent, high quality conversion of an old farm building.

Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Off-road parking is good. Great base for exploring the Lakes. Really would benefit from a larger bed and a larger, more comfortable sofa.

The bed was just so small we had 3 very poor nights sleep, which spoilt the holiday.

The sofa was also very uncomfortable but everything else was great in terms of facilities and cleanliness.

Very clean, lovely view.

Covid safe! Lovely few relaxing days after lockdown in beautiful location. Will use again. Thank you.

Spent a week heek here and enjoyed the sunny weather, beautiful landscape and great location!
