"What a fabulous apartment excellent in every way."
Quality furniture in every room both bedrooms had super king size beds quality bedding so comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped every thing you needed when cooking all quality items . Did not use the balcony and outside seating as was very wet when we stayed but imagine it will be wonderful in summer. We turned the radiators off as the apartment was so cosy fantastic really when it was so cold and wet outside.. Had a great meal at the Phesant pub a short walk away . Excellent base for exploring the lakes and dales . Absolutely recommend this apartment one of the best we have stayed in excellent .
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review. So glad you enjoyed your holiday despite the weather! We hope you come back soon. Property Owner

"The apartment is spacious and deserves ten out of ten, my comfort rating was scored lower due to the heat in the apartment and the boiler coming on throughout the night causing a sleepless night."
The owners did say they would get it checked and the timer altered. There was no hairdryer but otherwise the best of everything. Well situated for the dales and the lakes. Lovely welcome and spotless. Very quiet and hope other guests respect the furnishings .
Thank you for the constructive feedback. We do not provide a hairdryer because we have been advised they are a fire risk. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will return. Property Owner

"Superb, bright, clean and very comfortable accommodation."

"Apartment was amazing."
Proper home from home. Very clean. Absolutely everything you needed was there to hand. The balcony was the icing on the cake. Owner kept in touch with any queries we had. Friendly folks too. Very peaceful location. Only negative feedback I could think of would be for season appropriate duvets. Hope to revisit at some point. Very restful stay which was much needed.
So pleased you had a restful stay. We have noted your comment and will provide summer weight duvets as soon as possible. . We hope you will return one day soon. Property Owner

"This is a stunning apartment and a stunning location."
The apartment was warm, comfortable, renovated and furnished to a very high standard, everything you needed was there. The views from the apartment were great as was sitting out on the balcony in the sunshine. We were impressed with the care and attention to the grounds surrounding the property, clearly the owners take great pride in maintaining these holiday lets. Kirkby Lonsdale was a beautiful little town with lots of independent shops, yummy ice cream and fabulous places to eat. We really enjoyed exploring the local area.
Thank you for giving our apartment such a generous review. It makes all our efforts worthwhile. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return one day. Property Owner

"Wonderful stay at this attractive, very spacious apartment with adjacent parking and the bonus of a delightful balcony."
We were extremely lucky with the weather so enjoyed several hours sitting in the sunshine. The kitchen/cleaning welcome pack, plus biscuits and milk were much appreciated. We’ve stayed in many UK holiday lets over years and it’s certainly not standard; it’s a small but very considerate token - the Easter Egg was a lovely touch. Great location, we visited Kendal by car and found a pleasant walk to Kirkby Lonsdale over Devil’s Bridge to the town, where we enjoyed visiting the many pubs. The Pheasant Inn is a short distance from the apartment; there is a shortcut which could easily be missed but it saves walking on the road. We didn’t eat there but enjoyed a drink in their garden, again making the most of the British sunshine. Certainly recommend.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and positive review. Much appreciated. Please visit again soon. Property Owner

"We have stayed in many of sykes cottages over the years and this property is in the category we rate as excellent."
The sympathetically restored building and the tasteful modern interior complement each other. The apartment is in an ideal location for exploring the lake district and beyond. We will definitely revisit this venue again.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to you returning. Property Owner

About the location
KIRKBY LONSDALE
Kendal 9 miles.
An attractive market town, Kirkby Lonsdale is situated in the heart of the Lune Valley, midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and holds a 13th century Market Charter. Nowadays, Thursday is market day, a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore the variety of distinctive independent shops in the town, or the many 17th and 18th century buildings which still stand. The town was also a finalist for the High Street of the Year Award in 2016. This part of the Lune Valley was a favourite haunt of the artist Turner, and was made famous by Ruskin – his "view" of the valley is still spectacular. The medieval Devil’s Bridge spans the river, and the quiet country lanes are ideal for exploring by car, bike, or even horse. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, fishing and a variety of riverside and country walks, making the area an ideal location for a break, whatever time of year. When voting Kirkby Lonsdale as the ‘Best Place to Live in The North West’ in 2019, The Sunday Times commented it is “An unbeatable Lake District location, bags of community spirit and one of the cleanest high streets in the country".
