Tyee Cottage

We had a lovely time at Tyee Cottage.

It was well equipped and very comfortable.

Great Property and even better location with access to many places!

The property was warm and clean. The bed was very soft, we are used to firmer but it’s always personal preference. The kitchen is well equipped and the property is generally very cosy. The only things we would have appreciated was a slightly bigger TV (no issue with the smaller one, but on early evenings on the darker months it’d been nice to have a bigger TV/Smart TV). And finally updated photos of the property as it has aged since the ones that are advertising it and some things like the sofa aren’t the same and now there is a brown one. This didn’t bother us massively but can imagine some people hope to book what they are seeing and some things have changed slightly.

A lovely cottage on the edge of the lakes.

An ideal location to explore all areas of the lakes from. This comfortably furnished property with tasteful decoration has a twin and double bedroom on the ground floor and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room on the upper floor. The bathroom is large with a decent sized shower ( although the shower itself could do with an upgrade to make it slightly more powerful - maybe just one of those JML Bead shower heads would do the job). The kitchen is better equipped than most holiday cottages with enough equipment to prepare everything from a light snack to a full roast dinner. There is even a slow cooker, ideal for preparing a meal for your return from a day of exploring. The is a small under counter fridge with an ice box, a decent sized fan oven, 4 burner hob and a full sized dishwasher. When we booked this property we were a little concerned at the lack of dedicated parking, but in reality this was never a problem and we were able to park within a hundred yards of the property at all times of day. The property has decent wifi. Nice touches include a little packet containing fresh dish cloths and dishwasher tablets. My only suggestion to the owners would be to upgrade the TV to a basic smart TV so guests can access on demand telly. A great property at a fair price and one we would definitely return to if we want to stay in the area again.

Lovely, cosy traditional cottage, enjoyed the unusual upside down accommodation.

Oven didn't work at first but this was dealt with quickly and efficiently with a new replacement. Owners caring and considerate to our needs throughout our stay and the card on our arrival was a lovely touch.

Stayed here for two weeks of work in the lake district.

Lovely homely little cottage in a quiet picturesque village. Only down sides were the size of the TV as the euros were on oven didnt work onky grill feature and there was a power cut while we were there for a day.

Excellent cottage, would stay again.

Everything was there that we needed for comfort. Would stay again.

Wonderful little cottage, so homely & the bed was so comfy thank you for a lovely stay

Overall very disappointing stay.

The owner contacted us to advise there would be some building work going on and hoped we wouldn't experience too much disruption however this wasn't the case. Scaffolders arrived at 8.30am on our first morning - so that was when the shouting/swearing/radio started. We were contacted by the company regarding an alternative and told that someone would contact us later with options but they didn't. The following mornings were not any better with contractors arriving before 8am, parking one of their vehicles across the front door and started hammering on the property. The property is fine if you just want a no frills base however seems quite tired - dishwasher is pure guesswork, a few basic hygiene issues - crumbs on the worktop, dirty utensils, not all pillows had protectors, shower would benefit from deep clean, rubbish in bins, etc - surprising considering the literature advises this has been a holiday let for years.

Double bed could be bigger and pillows not feather/ other option available, my wife cannot sleep with them.

Massive cobwebs hanging down in kitchen. TV needs to be bigger it gives a feel of being cheap with it being so small. The pub was shutdown/not open and the same for the butchers and this was in the brochure so not strictly true and needs changing for any future holiday makers. All this being said it was a lovely stay in a lovely little cottage.

This cottage was an amazing place.

Great facilities and location - made us feel right at home. For a post a level trip for relaxation it was the perfect place. Thank you so much for a lovely stay - We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Tyee for 4 nights this week.

From the moment of arrival, we were really glad we had booked here over others. Stunning from outside, charming and cosy interior. All the amenities we could ask for were there to hand. Local Village store and pub close by, used both and cannot fault them. Amazing few days away!

Lovely cottage, very well equipped and cosy.

Would definitely book again.

Lovely accommodation.

Clean and of a good standard.

We loved our stay at Tyee Cottage!

A brilliant location for exploring the area and the cottage provided a warm and comfortable base for us. We were expecting a bath as per the listing photos but arrived to a walk-in shower. Very nice and not a complaint, just slightly harder to manage with two young boys! We would love to come back to Tyee Cottage and would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends and family.

Tree cottage is in the pretty village of Burton and an excellent base to visit the southern lakes.

There is a good pub and a village store. The cottage itself is at the end of a lane at a junction to the main road which can get busy at times and there is no garden or outside space. I would caution any visitor with small children or boisterous dogs to be aware that the door leads directly onto the lane and just a couple of meters to the main road. We enjoyed our stay in this upside down cottage however and it’s nice family history.

The Village is easy to access and a good spot for exploring the Lakes.

The Cottage has a lovely lounge and kitchen area. We loved the open fire and comfortable sofa and chairs. A perfect place to relax in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and we found all the info and maps really useful. However, the Sykes listing should make it clearer that there is no washing machine, that the on road parking is not outside the cottage and the cottage is located on a road with consistent traffic (fine for me but not for light sleepers like my husband). In terms of the cottage, it could be improved with better quality towels/bedding, providing a dish brush or dish sponge (we bought one to leave in the cottage), ensuring the lights/lamps downstairs work (many didn’t) and providing clear recycling instructions on the bins as it was impossible to know what could go in each of the different bins. I feel bad listing the complaints as the owners obviously love their cottage and we did have a good stay but there are small things that could be easily improved for a better experience and Sykes should relook at the listing as it is hard to understand a 4 star Sykes rating when there is no washing machine, a busy road, no garden and limited parking.

Tyee Cottage is situated in Burton in Kendal and it was lovely, clean and very comfortable.

It was unusual as it is ‘upside down’ accommodation which worked well. The owners, David and June, posted a welcome greeting card which was a nice touch. I will most definitely recommend to anyone thinking of visiting The Lakes. The only criticism was the ‘Cottage welcoming pack & Places to Visit’ guide was tucked away behind the living room curtain. It should be centrally located for guests to find.

Lovely little cottage in a nice village.

Well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen and a nice selection of games and books. Would be nice to have bath sheets available as the bath towels were a little small. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would consider booking it again ourselves.

Tyee Cottage is a lovely traditional cottage and is great base to explore South Lakeland, but still be close to the towns.

The cottage was clean and has all we need for a great break away. Local pub was very good. We would love to return.
