Pheasant Cottage

Amazing place to stay, very comfatable cottage, very peaceful area, only a mile and a half away from Cartmel village, would recommend to any one I know

From the moment we arrived we knew we were home.

Stunning location that was out of the way but just a stones throw from busy Cartmel. Martyn and Karen were very welcoming. The bedrooms are huge. A super kingsize in each both with ensuite. The kitchen was adequate for making any meal. In general, all the cottage was comfortable and clean. The fire made for a cosy evening with a glass of wine. The bird life surrounding the farm and the dawn and dusk chorus was wonderful. All in all an excellent stay. We will be back.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

Hosts very friendly and helpful. Hope to return. Paul. Jackie & Woody

The cottage was impeccably clean.

Well equipped, warm. Beautiful rooms that I think the photos on the cottage website don't do them the justice they deserve. Wonderful quiet area, beautiful gardens even in winter. Very welcoming.

The cottage is a lovely barn conversion in a gorgeous tranquil location.

There is a smaller cottage to rent next door which was occupied while we were there but the walls are so thick you would have never known. You can walk from the front door to Cartmel about 1.5 miles away. Very pretty garden and bird feeders everywhere - lovely! The owners are very friendly and helpful and live nearby - so there if you need anything but otherwise leave you to it. The bedrooms are spacious with huge , very comfortable beds each with its own bathroom. The hot water is instant with good pressure. We stayed in November and the heating maintained a very comfortable temperature. We slept really well. The views are stunning and you have no passing traffic so very safe for children and dogs. No parking issues at all. Ticked every single box for us snd we would highly recommend.

An enchanting beautifully designed cottage with a lovely garden in an idyllic location perfect for relaxing and watching the birds.

It is warm and cosy and well equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer. The bedrooms are very pretty and spacious especially the upper bedroom. The owner Karen is a very lovely lady who gives you a warm welcome and is very helpful. A nicer host would be hard to find. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and hope to visit again in the spring.

Really lovely cottage in the most beautiful setting.

Highly recommended.

A little hard to find and get back to each night but a beautiful location and owners were classy people.

Lovely quiet place to stay ,a nice walk into Cartmel.

Amenities were good . Lovely garden & great paddock for the dogs .enjoyed or stay .

Very nice property in quiet location , very clean , lovely barn conversion ,the only issue was the sofa which was soft a little back breaking , beds comfy , the advert stated milk bread and eggs on arrival but this wasn’t available , we had done a shop enroute in any case.

other items were available which were welcome such as health food and toiletries. Overall the stay was enjoyable a lovely garden, walks to Cartmel on doorstep

We only stayed a few days but in very comfortable surroundings.

Not that it bothered me as I know the Lake District very well it was a little remote for anyone who hasn’t been before. It was so tranquil

Lovely holiday , would suggest that there was one bathroom with only a shower , over the bath shower difficult with mobility issues .

The cottage otherwise was exceptional .

The most perfect stay , in a beautiful calm peaceful place.

Lots of walks nearby , Cartmel 5 mins away , Great for the South Lakes The gardens are beautiful and the dogs loved the paddock Claire xx

excellent location, lovely hosts.

A lovely break away from the world. We loved it and will go back

We had the best time, the location was perfect and the hosts friendly and helpful.

The cottage, although lovely, would benefit from some TLC, the kitchen and bathrooms were functional but a little tired, and small details that make all the difference were a little disappointing, and there was no usual essentials welcome basket, but the cosmetics etc in the bathrooms were lovely. All in all, a lovely week, but a few small changes would have made it exceptional.

We had a lovely stay at Pheasant Cottage.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the toiletries were a nice luxury. It is a pleasant walk across the fields or down a quiet lane to Cartmel, approximately a mile and a half, where there are a number of pubs and cafes. We also did a lovely walk from the property taking in the views of the surrounding area. The gardens were lovely to relax in. We would definitely recommend Pheasant Cottage, the only suggestions for improvement would be upgrading the small and quite old TV set and perhaps a guest book for people to leave recommendations.

The cottage was the best ever but the location had little to offer walkers.

0nly ourselves to blame should have taken notice of a previous review.

We, including our two dogs, absolutely loved our stay in the cottage.

It was a flawless experience from start to finish. There's truly nothing to criticise. Our hosts were incredibly friendly, offered helpful suggestions for local hiking spots, and made us feel completely welcome and at home throughout our stay.

Very comfortable cottage.

Very tricky roads to and from its location. Walks not easy straight from the door. Good location quite central to most of south and west lakes. Lovely bedrooms very comfy beds. Could do with some larger tea cups!

We could not have asked for anything more.

Pheasant cottage was beautiful, beds were very comfy and the cottage was spotlessly clean. Our host were great, a lovely extra was the tasty loaf as a gift from them. The views we're breathtaking and waking up to such peace and quiet definitely helped us to unwind. Thanks again.

Lovely, outstanding Cottages!

Absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic location. Nice owners. Great location. Highly recommended.

The location was beautiful and such a pretty cottage, once we’d finished marvelling at this I was blown away by how practical it was.

The porchway was perfect for damp boots & coats and drying dog paws, so it kept the living quarters really clean. Very grateful for the bread, eggs, milk, and especially the cooking oil as this is messy to pack and wasteful to purchase. Great maps in the binder for guiding us to the village and delicious meals in the warm, friendly pubs there.

We really enjoyed our stay , the location was perfect for us.

We walked into Cartmel most days and found some lovely places to have lunch. It was a cosy and comfortable place with everything we could want. We took advantage of the DVD collection for our evening entertainment and the maps for our walking adventures.

We have just returned from a very relaxing stay at Pheasant Cottage.

The accommodation is clean and very comfortable with some lovely welcoming touches of fresh bread and milk, thank you. The grounds are beautiful to sit peacefully in and there are plenty of walks directly from the front door. Although the garden itself was shared with the attached property, there was a secure paddock very close by which we could exercise our dog safely in. Cartmel village is a short drive away (tiny roads but traffic is light) or a 25 minute walk across the fields and you can buy a range of delicious local produce from the shops. There are several coffee shops and pubs - something for everyone! It really is a superb location within easy driving distance to the Lakes too.

A superb holiday cottage in wonderful surroundings,very quiet and peaceful.

great gardens and some lovely walks, extremely comfortable beds

We had a lovely warm welcome from Pam who gave us all the information we needed to know re the cottage and walks.

(She had also put fresh flowers out and left us bread and milk, a really nice touch). The cottage is furnished to a high standard and is in the most beautiful, peaceful location. The secure garden is gorgeous and secure for dogs, the views are stunning. Karen and Martyn were good sources of information on plants and wildlife. The walks were just what we wanted and it was nice to come back and relax in total comfort. There was absolutely nothing more that we could have asked for, it's a fabulous cottage, great location and we will look at booking again. John , Zoë and Pip the dog.

This cottage is in a beautiful setting just outside Cartmel.

Lovely views and idyllic gardens, with a specific closed in field to allow your dog to have a run. It’s not for nervous drivers as has to be accessed via narrow lanes but is typical of the Lake District. Lots of places to visit nearby. Much thought has gone into comfort for guests. It’s cosy, but bright and airy and warm . The bedrooms are ample and beds very comfortable. Lovely duvets and pillows for a good nights sleep. Lots of thoughtful touches including freshly cut flowers , fresh local bread and milk and even skin care products, shampoo and conditioner so I came home feeling pampered. Although dog friendly the owners are clear dogs must be well behaved and I did feel hyper vigilant, and if it had been raining I would have wanted to ensure dogs were washed , but a dog shower is provided outside the main house. We had towels in the porch to dry wet feet etc. If I were the owner of this house I would want guests with dogs to respect the high quality standard of this cottage. The only minor niggle is the tv in the living room had poor quality sound. It’s not our priority as we were out late two evenings and I had a book to read but we found it hard listening when playing a dvd or watching any programmes. Other electrical goods fridge freezer, oven washing machine, and tumble dryer ( if needed) all excellent condition . We loved it and would come again. Best Sykes Cottage I have ever stayed in . My friend who came with us said it’s the best holiday cottage she has ever stayed in. Thank you Karen & Martyn

we as a family booked this stunning stone cottage on a wimp.

all i can say wow amazing.the owners were frendily,the cottage was in the most best location we could ask for not far from cartmel and grizdale the views from the cottage were unbelivable. the cottage itself was perfect for what we were looking for and pet frendly to.extremly comfy and clean, we will be 100 percent back :)

What a wonderful place to stay in Southern Cumbria.

A little off the beaten track until you got to know those narrow roads, but what a peaceful and idyllic setting. The cottage was beautiful, characterful, clean, cosy, very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, warm and very well equipped. We will certainly return to see the garden and surroundings in a different season and enjoy this lovely cottage again. If I had to ask for an improvement, it would be some proper size mugs!! Found ourselves drinking copious lots in those provided

What a Wonderful Cottage, so peaceful and well off the beaten track.

Wonderful views with walks and cycling straight into beautiful countryside and hills. Spacious and comfortable with lovely bedroom and bathroom, on each floor. Karen and Martin were so welcoming and such lovely people. It is Ideal for relaxing and enjoying the views. So close to Cartmel and Grange. Really enjoyable stay and big thanks to Karen and Martin.

We hired the cottage for two couples and it was ideal.

Beds so comfortable, each couple had their own bathroom facilities ( one bedroom ensuite and the younger couple had a bedroom upstairs with their own bathroom) so essentially it took away any waiting for showers, etc. Lovely Cottage in beautiful area.

Our stay at Pheasant Cottage was fantastic!

Amazing views from a idilyc cottage and Cartmell is a beautiful village.

Loved it.

Cottage typical Lakeland cottage was beautiful. Not good for nervous drivers as roads around area single track With hedges but beautiful Area. So Much to do and scoot ace had everything you needed. Could have stayed for longer. Will be back i

Beautiful cottage, we both “nested” within minutes of arriving.

The owner is lovely and welcoming. Great location, great views and walks.

Top bedroom is 5 star lower bedroom is 3 Beautifull location and garden Hosts were excellent

Spent 5 nights at Pheasant Cottage.

The owners were very nice. Cottage was clean throughout. Everything you needed was there. Kitchen was well equipped as we ate there all the time due to the current situation. Location was beautiful, very peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed walking and the beautiful golf course nearby. Highly recommend staying at Pheasant Cottage

The only negative was the slightly uncomfortable couch.

The rest of the property is very nice. This would not stop us returning.

An amazing find for our staycation.

Martyn and Karen were consummate hosts and couldn’t have done more. We will definitely be back!

Just returned from a break in Pheasant cottage near Cartmel in the South Lakes area of Cumbria.

The cottage is lovely and, on the whole, was very comfortable apart from the settee which was pretty uncomfortable after a while. Location is excellent for a bit of exploring, we went to Grange over Sands which is an unexpected gem of a place and Ulverston, the birthplace on Stan Laurel. We`d have went further if only we had booked for longer but had a very nice break to recharge the batteries nevertheless. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone.

The location and views were beautiful, the cottage was better than the pictures and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Loverly cottage great location and really comfortable.

Host nearby but not intrusive in any way... Definitely recommend and will be returning

Fantastic cottage in a quiet and beautiful location.

Very comfortable, clean and well presented. Gorgeous garden and scenic views. Secluded and peaceful yet within a short distance of Cartmel, Cark and Ulverston and minutes from Holker Hall. We loved our stay and would recommend staying - we hope to come back too.

The whole experience was a pleasure from the beginning to the end.

An easy booking, very welcoming host and a beautiful, well equipped cottage in idyllic surroundings. A thoroughly pleasurable short break. A definite ‘yes’ for a revisit.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

Karen meet us when we arrived and showed round nothing was to much trouble.

We had an excellent family holiday for a week.

The owners were extremely welcoming and their cottage was lovely, with a beautiful garden and amazing views which we did not expect. The only suggestion I could make to improve the comfort would be to change the sofa, otherwise all excellent, thank you.

This is our second visit to Pheasant Cottage.

It was just as charming, thanks again to Karen and Pam

The Cottage was perfect for two couples with all the facilities we required.

Very quiet and extremely comfortable. Cottage was well located with a beautiful and well kept garden and lovely rural outlook. Absolutely tranquil with no passing traffic. Weather was good with two exceptional days - sunshine throughout these days. Spent a stunning day at Tarn Howes - NT with guided walk at 11.00am on Wednesdays. Followed by a visit (and lunch) at Brantwood - home of John Ruskin - overlooking Lake Coniston.

Pheasant Cottage is a lovely place,a real home from home.

Equipped to a high standard with everything you could possibly need.Set in a stunning location with lovely gardens.Met on arrival by the owners who showed us where everything was and how things worked which was very handy.

Comfortable cottage for family of 4 or 2 couples.

Warm, dated furnishings but good quality and well equipped. Beautiful setting and garden. Would definitely stay again. Owner was friendly and helpful.

Such a delightful Cottage very well equipped and lots of extras not expected when hiring accommodation,comfortable beds lovely bathrooms with underfloor heating in the downstairs en-suite.

our only reason we have not given a full 10 in recommendation is the very uncomfortable settee and chairs ,this did really spoil our stay, the nights being darker earlier and the very narrow roads we spent our evenings in the cottage.such a pity this let the cottage down.

This is our first time with Sykes and the booking through to the payment system and directions to the cottage was a seemless operation.

The cottage is located just out of Cartmell so not only is it within a two minute drive you can if you wish come out of your front door go through a farm gate and walk to the village. We were met on arrival by Pam and like everyone we met within the Lake District she had a big smile and was very helpful. The property is spotless both inside and outside . We would highly recommend a stay at pheasant cottage and this comment is reflected in the guest book. Well done Sykes we enjoyed our weeks holiday.

The cottage was lovely, the garden really beautiful and the village very pretty.

We enjoyed our few days in an area of the Lakes that we did not know as well.

Cartmel is a very interesting little village we still have more of it to explore. The cottage was a delight which was really good as the weather was not. Extremely comfortable and peaceful just what we needed.

Fabulous location.

Quiet and tranquil. Perfect.

Lovely accommodation, welcoming host.

Only disappointment no bottle of milk and cake on arrival.

Perfect

Will definitely be back.

Home from home very comfy, warm and had everything we needed for a great week. Thank you.

Pheasant Cottage was fantastic!
