“Entering and exiting car park area was a little trying , this would be the only problem we encountered,”

- Mr Potts, September 2018

“The cottage is not suitable for dogs as the garden is completely open and there is a field which adjoins the property that has sheep in it and there is a note in the cottage advising that dogs will be shot if they worry the sheep.”

There are few utensils in the cottage and the garden was a mess with cigerette ends and an old broken flower container and the flower tubs in the front of the house were also broken. I appreciate that we have had little rain so the flowers would have died in the tubs but they were old and broken wh Ch isn’t particularly attractive and welcoming. The cottage itself was not particularly clean especially the bathroom and kitchen cupboards. There was no hoover to keep the place clean bearing in mind dogs are allowed. The village itself was wonderful and people really friendly in the village. The good points were comfortable bed and sofa. Overall it was tatty. This is the first Sykes Cottage which has not been a delight to stay in.

“First visit to the Lake District.”

Visited all the lakes whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery surrounding the lakes. Lots of towns and villages to visit Ulverston, Keswick,.Ambleside to name a few.. We wanted a tranquil place to stay and found that in Broughton Beck staying in Benfold Cottage which is very quaint and comfortable. Our first Sykes holiday we will be booking again soon and applaud the company for excellent customer service. A****

“Beautiful little cottage; relaxing, calm environment”

- Ms Pascal, May 2018
“Unfortunately, the shower room was leaking into the kitchen area.”

In addition to that, the description where to park the car was not specific and clear and the neighbour has been angry at the fact that we havent parked the car in the right spot and requested that we phone Sykes immediately the change the instructions as this has been an ongoing issue.

- Mcmahon, May 2018
“Beautiful little cottage.”

Only negative I thought there would be enclosed outside area, but that's down to my not checking first ! Even so I would recommend Beckfold & Sykes cottages to everyone x
