"Perfect cottage in every way, only slight personal issue that we would have liked a television in the living room rather than the kitchen, we didn't always want to go downstairs to watch a television programme rather than a film otherwise can't fault in anyway."
Many thanks for you feedback Clive and 100% rating.
We hoped that guests would use the lounge/snug for reading, playing board games (selection in the bureau) and socialising; hence the TVs in both the kitchen and the cinema room....oh and one in every bedroom too!

"This is our second visit to Prospect House."
It was perfect for our three generations of family, with the grandchildren especially loving the tv room and the myriad of channels. Everything is so comfortable and spacious with enough room for us to spread out. The cleanliness was excellent. It’s only a hundred yards from the town centre but is so quiet and peaceful. We will probably be back for a third visit.

"Absolutely fantastic house, so beautifully presented."
It felt like we were staying in someone’s house, not a holiday home. Best house we’ve stayed in, can’t wait to visit again.
Oh my goodness Karen, thank you so much! This is exactly the feeling we wanted guests to have….Prospect House is definitely a home from home! Please do come back and visit us again!

"The house was beautifully decorated, well located and very clean."
Also relatively quiet. Our only issue was that the house was chilly, especially on cold mornings. The radiators were cold to the touch and the floors in the entry only became warm occasionally.
Lynn, we are sorry to hear this. I am afraid I was not contacted by Sykes regarding this. I will find out why no one got back to you.

"We had a fantastic week."
The house is absolutely lovely. It had everything anyone requires, and more. The furnishings are top quality, and elegant. The location is perfect, especially if you're not a walker, just a five-ten minute stroll from the town centre. Thank you for the chance to stay in this superb property.

"We were on a walking holiday with our adult children and significant others."
We had such a fabulous experience both with the cottage and all it had to offer; location, TV Room, outside patio area, perfect kitchen diner for unwinding at the end of the day with a glass of wine and home cooked food, so much so that we booked it again next year for a week. What a wonderful, considered renovation of the property. Loved every minute.
Thank you so much for your review Stewart....when we renovated the house we tried to think of everything that our guests would want for their perfect holiday; we hope that we achieved it! We look forward to welcoming you back next year!

"Fantastic week at prospect House!"
It was a wonderful home from home to celebrate a 70th Birthday along with 3 generations of family. Everything in the house was perfect and the highlights were the cinema room and espresso machine!
Fantastic walks; Catbells, Wray Castle, Wansfell Pike and an amazing sunrise at Todd’s Cragg
Places to eat; Apple pie cafe (delish breakfasts and freshly baked goods), Luigi’s, Priest Hole (Sunday lunch), Doi Intanon Thai), Tap Yard (nice food/drinks but awful service), many visits to the Golden Rule and lastly but by no means least, Taco Sol for the best burritos, tequila and frozen margs!
Thanks so much to Jo for allowing us to stay in this stunning home. She was super helpful and responsive and we would deffo return. (Sorry for the delay in my review but I thought I’d already done it

"This is the best high end holiday property we have ever encountered."
It offers good value for money. The house itself is incredibly interesting with huge amount of features each tastefully thought about. This quality runs throughout inside and outside the house. No expense has been spared or no corner has been cut. The owner is available and eager to help with any minor issues encountered. Location is key with its village centre position. The 3 car parking facility at the front of the house is a massive advantage. I could go on and on…I’ll finish by saying that there is ample daytime space for different groups within the house to “ be away from each other”

"Prospect house is perfect!"
It is ideally situated within Ambleside and beautifully furnished and decorated throughout with excellent facilities. The kids loved the cinema room and the adults enjoyed sitting on the sunny terrace with a glass or two - we were very lucky with the weather!! We would all throughly recommend a visit and hope to come and stay again soon.

"An absolute gem of a property and the best we have ever stayed in."
The house itself is stunning and the idea of the TV room is genius. The location could not be better with easy access to the town and yet also quiet. Superb. We would book again today but the prices have gone crazy and we cannot afford it now. However, I notice that the property is not booked up at all so maybe a price review is due? If so , we will be back,
Thanks for your lovely feedback Jackie; its always great to hear!
As far is pricing is concerned, the house is actually more competitively priced this year than last! As you say, we have a few remaining weeks available over the summer and they are currently showing an additional 10% discount. Please be assured that we do keep our eye on bookings and prices. It would be lovely if you could visit us again!

"This was hands down the most fabulous property we have stayed at in The Lakes-and possibly the UK."
It was home from home and better. The décor was extremely stylish and inviting, the facilities endless( inc amazing parking for 4 cars off road) and the kitchen was so well equipped we didn't need half of what we had taken. ..little ideas like torches a real asset and thoughtful. A most wonderful touch was that the property was delightfully decorated for Christmas including a beautiful lit tree...again we didn't need our own decorations we had taken. A real coup was that the owner sent a direct welcome email and offered any help she could at the drop of a hat when we had a couple of queries...most professional and friendly. We hired the loft and the studio too-so feedback applies to all 3! put simply, we cannot wait to return and have recommended this home to so many already!

Having been a regular visitor to the Lakes for many years now, I can happily state without any doubt the package that is Prospect House is just about perfect in every sense. Great Location, great accommodation, (so beautifully and tastefully refurbished) it's kitted out with everything and more, spotlessly clean when you arrive, and the best corkscrew you've ever seen!
Attention to detail is really what stands out in this house...it's an 11/10 from me!

All 6 couples had their own large bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
The house itself was very spacious, tastefully decorated with all mod-cons; the cinema room was a hit in wet weather!
Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants within a short walk; the fells are on the doorstep too.
The terrace was a lovely place to relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Three private parking spaces for the house was a definite bonus.
We can thoroughly recommend!

"We've been vacationing in the Lakes for over 30 years now and this house is without doubt the best we've ever stayed in."
It's more than just a holiday let, it's the kind of house you'd dream of owning if you were ever to retire to the lakes...it's perfect in every sense and you can see so much thought has gone into its refurbishment, layout and design. The bedding, soft furnishings, towels etc are all of a superior quality, and from a cutlery and utensils perspective there's nothing they haven't thought of...and last but not least there's an abundance of proper large wine glasses!
It's an 11/10 if there ever was one and I've already booked another 2 visits.
