“The listing didn’t actually do the building justice.”

It is so much bigger and more comfortable than we expected.

It is so much bigger and more comfortable than we expected. The building mixes a combination of old barn with new technology and everything is finished to a very high standard. We have always recommend to others and would definitely stay here again

“What a fabulous property had all we needed for a family of 7 plus dogs and much more.”

It was immaculate and a nice touch with the welcome pack. Great location for our needs plenty of good local pubs/coffee shops etc ALL with in a short distance. Would definitely look forward to another stay in the future.

“What a fantastic holiday we all had!”

! The level of comfort, cleanliness and space of the Byre Cottage really did exceed all our needs. Spacious and bright ...all mod cons and a hospitality basket with tea, coffee and biscuits A bottle of wine and a beer led to a great welcome. The views from the Byre were amazing and all facilities close by. Will definitely reccomend this Holiday Cottage through Sykes and most probably rebook it again for next year..A wonderful wonderful time had by all and great memories!!

- Mrs Christian, September 2019
“We had the most beautiful long weekend having a girly family holiday!”

The house really had the 'wow' factor as soon as you walked through the door. The views from the back of the house are beautiful and the hot tub just feels like luxury. The house had everything you could think of needing and we really enjoyed our stay here. Planning on coming back next year! Can not think of one fault in this house. Thank you so much!

- Miss Lloyd, August 2019
“Beautiful house in a great location.”

Very well-equipped and had everything we ever needed. Extremely useful welcome pack. The house was extremely clean. Hot tub was also lovely and an added bonus! Would definitely recommend this house for a holiday in the Lake District.

- Miss Manoharan, July 2019
“Omg what a fabulous fantastic place you have here we all had the best time ever you have thought of everything to make it a fabulous home from home love love loved it cant wait to return hopefully for new year thank you.”

- Mrs Walker, June 2019
“The Byre was a fantastic property.”

Everything with the house has been thought out cleverly. We had a brilliant time there. We made great use of the well stocked kitchen and also enjoyed the nicely sized garden plus the hot tub was lovely :-)

- Mr Hart, May 2019
“Location of the cottage was great.”

We used it as a base to explore the area but also loved time spent in the cottage. The hot tub was an asset. The kitchen was really well equipped, with every utensil you could possibly need. The welcome pack was very acceptable

- Mr Ranson, May 2019

- Miss Fisher, February 2019
“Spacious, very comfortable, well appointed and equipped excellent cottage.”

In a superb location for all the family to enjoy.

- Mrs Magee, February 2019
“Excellent weekend away with the family and dogs, you couldn’t ask for anything more in a property everything you needed was there, great location, weather could have been better but it is January.”

We had a small issue,but Adrian called round in a couple of hours and sorted it. Would definitely book again

- Mr Thomson, January 2019
“The cottage was absolutely fabulous and the views were stunning.”

The downstairs space is breathtaking and the kitchen is a dream to cook in and I love the big open plan feel. The garden is wonderful and would love to come back in warmer weather to be able to enjoy dining al fresco on the lovely table admiring the views. Our only complaint was that there was an issue with the hot tub on the first 2 nights, it wouldn’t heat up as it was stuck in economy mode so we were unable to use it. The out of hours maintenance team didn’t come back to us on the first night but they came out on the second night and were unable to fix it. Eventually we worked it out ourselves and were able to use it on the last day. The initial issues were disappointing for us as the hot tub was one of the main reasons we booked but once we got it working it was wonderful and we absolutely loved the house. There are some really nice touches as well like a big welcome hamper, ale and wine and toiletries in all bathrooms. We would definitely recommend.

- Miss Howd, November 2018
“The property was beautiful and really well kept.”

Plenty of space for our eight guests and two dogs. Lovely area with great views. Very clean with great facilities. The only complaint would be that the garden was not completely enclosed. There was a side entry with no gate. For people with dogs or small children this could be a big downside. We had to constantly monitor the dogs outside.

- Mrs Hammersley, October 2018
“Myself and 7 friends stayed at this amazing cottage in a beautiful setting would definetley recommend this for either a girly weekend or a romantic break as it was beautiful and the hottub was the cherry on the cake!”

- Mrs Jones, September 2018
“I spent the week with my family The place was better in real life than on the pictures!”

you can not see on the pictures but the views are brilliant and location for me was great. there were lovely little walks right from the cottages for all ages and abilities! It a modern cosy good sized home and you can tell the owners look after the place. Plus the beds were so warm and comfy!! There were a few little niggles ie. the washer dryer was rubbish. couldnt connect to the wifi properly all week. needed instructions for the heating/aircon. when in the bottom bedroom you could hear everything in the kitchen. However, the things I have mentioned are very small and easy to fix and would not put me off staying here again or recommending the byre. in fact we are already planning our next trip there for next year hopefully!!!

“Fabulous Family Stay”

Just returned from a week in The Byres and we are already looking to rebook! The property is as stunning as the pictures, if not more. Extremely spacious - great sized bedrooms and a fab open plan living area. The layout is particularly suitable for 2 families sharing. The property contained everything you could possible want or need and the whole place was clean and immaculately presented. Approx a mile up the road from Cartmel, the more abled body of the group could easily walk down the country lane to the centre of Cartmel and yet the position surrounded by open fields provided a very tranquil setting. Plenty of parking so no hassle and a lovely little playground a couple of minutes up the road. Would highly recommend this property.

- Mrs Mullin, August 2018
“The cottage was beautiful, the views were amazing and the hot tub a massive hit.”

Sadly the lawn had not been laid as stated - the dog was ok but it was difficult for us to use.

- Mrs Woods, July 2018
“This accommodation is fantastic everything provided for your stay very comfortable great location lovely village and surrounding areas loved the hot tub day at races fab.”

Would definitely go back our family had a great time. My only wish would be for an umbrella for the patio furniture. We all loved the house and the people.

- Mrs Maclaren, June 2018
“Superb property, kitted out to a very high specification, interior design tasteful and comfortable.”

Cleanliness immaculate, cleaning team do an amazing job to maintain this standard in such a large property. Modern interior yet retains the history of what was there before. Loved it. Sykes fantastic-booking easy, regular updates, great directions and wonderful customer service. Already looking for our next cottage.

- Miss Ottey, June 2018
