“I know we are all going through an epidemic but why could we not check in till ...”

I know we are all going through an epidemic but why could we not check in till 6pm and depart before 9am we lost 2 days of our holiday but it cost the same money I don’t know why it should take 9 hours to clean such a small house

- Mrs Anderson, August 2020
“Well equipped, very comfortable and lovely little cottage.”

Ideal for exploring the North Lakes. There is a village shop, a co-op and a superb chip shop in Shap. We made use of all of them!

- Mrs Wotherspoon, August 2020
“Lovely cottage very clean the owner answere a query I had on way to cottage within 5 minutes.”

It is near to a lot of places and we would go again

- Mrs Poulter, July 2020
“The cottage was fab the location was in a pretty village not far from the lakes the local pub the crown was friendly and food was good.”

Love the fact that there was patio furniture in the shed we could use. The cottage was like home from home. The only negative we have was there was a smell of curry powder in the kitchen even though we cleaned and hovered it still lingered.

- Mrs Hill, July 2020
“Really nice cottage very comfortable clean and tidy, warm and secure yard for dogs.”

Just a suggestion perhaps a mirror above bathroom sink would be useful for wet shaving.

- Mr Warr, February 2020
“Furniture not as in photo but that was in main bedroom which was huge”

- Mr Hyom, December 2019
“The property was more than we had hoped for.”

Most important for us the dog was able to wander freely in the yard without fear of getting out. The double bed was so comfy and the addition of sofa and television in the main bedroom was a very pleasant surprise. Plenty of storage in bedroom. I have and will be recommending this property to people and am loooking at booking for next year. Couldn't fault anything other than when we went to do some toast on the Sunday morning it kept blowing the trip, so unable to use it for the week, minor detail for us.

- Mrs Clarke, November 2019
“Really lovely holiday.”

- Mrs Bourne, September 2019
“Lovely bungalow we stayed in, very clean and tidy.”

Perfect for our dogs as it had an enclosed garden. We would definitely stay again, and use Sykes Cottages again.

- Mr Patterson, July 2019
“Location good with good local facilities , away from crowds but within the lakes area for sightseeing, shopping and walking etc.”

Lots of information in the pack in the cottage.

- Mrs Sylvester, July 2019
“It would have been good to have had a contact number in case anything went wrong at the cottage (all was ok thankfully).”

Some information regarding recycling would have been helpful. And a decent size frying pan in the kitchen is needed. Otherwise, it was a very welcoming cottage and we had a lovely stay. Thank you.

- Mr Frost, June 2019
“The cottage was lovely shap village very nice and well situated and your service was acceptional.”

Only one problem and it was our fault we bought Cumberland sausage to bring home for ourselves and friends but unfortunately forgot to take out of the fridge in the cottage, only remembered whe we were halfway home

- Mr monteith, June 2019
“The seating area looked good but when sat upon it sunk down and was very dificult to get out of.”

Indeed my husband had to pull me out of it. The sitting area was no good for those of us who are in their latter years. Otherwise it was lovely and the village was very friendly

- Ms Peachment, April 2019
“Beautiful surroundings and the cottage offered so much more than expected.”

Would recommend this cottage to anyone. Alan , Lesley from Scotland
