The Annex - Eden House

The Annex was a little tired could do with a refresh and a much needed fan as we were uncomfortably hot in the night.

Appart from that we enjoyed our stay there. Thanks for the milk. Jane and Vince Mayne.

Had a lovely stay at the Annex.

Accomodation was great, nicely coverted , well maintained and very clean. It had eveything i needed for a very comfortable and relaxing week. Gardens are lovely and the peace and quiet was much needed. Lovely to sit and listen to the bird song each night. Location is excellent, lots of local walks and points of interest but the fells and lakes are easily accessible, which is what we came for. Would certainly recommend and hoping to rebook soon! Thank you

Second stay at The Anex.

Warm and comfortable after a day walking the Lakeland Fells. Quiet too!

A cozy place to retreat and unwind.

The Annex is located in Edenhall, a lovely small village 3-minute drive (or 25-minute walk) from the nearby town Langwathby and 10 minutes drive (or 1.5 hours walk) from Penrith. The Annex is above the garage. Although there were guests in the main building over the weekend, we basically had the entire front garden to ourselves on the weekdays. Michelle is very nice and provided us with all the necessary information in advance. We enjoyed our stay there.

We had a very good stay over xmas the owner was staying in the house next door & provided decorations & a gift of drink and chocolates

My third time, and I suspect it won't be my last.

It is well equipped, warm and a good location for the Lakes, Dales and Pennines (I was on a walking holiday). The only niggles were that the bandwidth on the internet suffers when Eden House is fully occupied, and there is no longer a bedside light.

Main problem for me was the stairs but that was due because of my dog we did not have dog when booked The shower had a problem which the owner was in the process of getting resolved everything else was fine

Although I have stayed at the Annex before, I forgot how uncomfortable it can be when the bathroom is required in the middle of the night.

Wifi terrible, but the property is convenient to Penrith and catching up with family and friends. Lesley from Australia

This is a nice little annex property in a gorgeous village but, some of it is starting to look tired and dated.

Bed comfy for 1/2 nights. The noise from the appliances can disturb your sleep as fridge and freezer are in the same room as you sleep. Towels are supplied but are not bath sheets, so on the small side. If you are over 5’9 mind your head on the beams. Overall it’s pleasant and good for a couple of nights and a great base for the local area.

Fantastic little place to stay, very well equipped and maintained.

Great location for visiting lake district and a great place to return to after a days walking. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

The property was superb and met all our needs We didn’t use the outside space so much, there was no sun whilst we were in during the evening but we were late as we were sailing.

On returning the last evening, our parking space was taken by someone in the house which left us not knowing where to park and trying to be respectful to the neighbours etc. Was disturbed by the fridge fan at night being an open plan design. But enjoyed our stay

It was a lovely break.

Even better that the fact we could just let the dog out and not have to worry about her escaping. We have a whippet so she likes to escape! The studio was lovely and comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, quiet and a great place to relax after walking in the Lake District.

Beautiful place to stay and the area is wonderful for walking and taking in the scenery.

The annex has everything you could need and is a perfect retreat for couples and your little dog. We are going to book to come back again as we loved it. Safe parking for your car and lovely courtyard that is secure. Couldn’t fair it.

Comfortable and well equipped property, nicely situated in a quiet small village.

Ideal for access to the Eden Valley and Lake District but without the hustle and bustle of a more central Lakes location. Attentive and kind owner.

Fab little place ideal for us, thank you for a lovely stay

Comfy, warm, well-situated and well-located.

Good communication with the owner.

29th dec 23 arrived a little early got into it ok.

started to unpack very little hanging space for two also you had to hang your coats on the same rail and the fram was very rickety.got up the stairs what a nice very large rook.put our food away then went for a meal down the road.went back to the cottage as we shut the door the wind was coming in as the door was closed very cold.had a brew then went to watch t v put all3 radiators on full approx 18.30.the radiators was inadequate for the size of room.put our coats on and wrapped our selfs up.went to bed 22.00hrs.my wife went to the toilet 5times in the night and could not find the light stwich as this was on the floor.my side of the bed no lihgt at all?next morning took our dog for his walk.we spoke about how cold it was and we decided that we shoul go home.spoke to the owner just befoe we left she said tha we should have taken the mobile heater up i found this inappropriate as i am 72yrs old and what would have happed if i had a fall?. last the said cottage is not a cottage but a studio in my oppion this would be a nice place to stay in in the summer.so for the 17hrs we stayed there it cost us £301 full cost was£401 they gave us £100 refund. yours thankfully roy walters.

We had a lovely stay at The Annex.

Edenhall is a lovely village and the area is very beautiful. Thank you for a nice stay.

Very nice place and good location, we would definitely come back

It's ok for 2 people

We have spent a lovely week in the Annex Eden House.

A good place to stay for visiting the lakes , we went to Ullswater and also Hadrians wall both worth a visit. Our dog Archie a Cockapoo spent Saturday with Mark a Fell Walker which we booked previously with Cumbrian dog services in Penrith. Edenhall is a lovely village , everyone so friendly. Langwathby is a lovely village nearby and has a shop/ Post office .

Lovely modern cottage feel perfect for couples.

Really clean and comfy. Only things I would suggest are provide a fan in summer. And provide some laundry detergent. All round 10/10

Lovely stay annexe was comfortable well equipped and immaculately clean and in an location for visiting the lakes thanks again

My second time and it’s a great location - very convenient for the Lakes with North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales as a backup.

It may be time to update the washing machine mind you. I’ve got the knack of slamming the door but it always makes me nervous. Adding recycling instructions would be good - although I may have missed them

Shower head not very good

Stayed at this property twice, always very comfortable.

Fantastic break away.

We have visited several times now and it’s just lovely. The owner, Gabrielle, is most kind and very accommodating. Uncle Ken is also a smashing character. The surrounding area is so peaceful. The only downfall is that we don’t live there. Well worth the money. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at the Annex.

The property is ideally located for exploring the moors, the Lakes and Scotland. Everything we needed was provided for, the bed and sofas were very comfortable and the courtyard was safe, enclosed and ideal for a dog. The Annex was tastefully decorated for Christmas, and we were surprised and delighted to find a Christmas card, box of chocolates, Christmas cake and prosecco left for us. These were thoroughly enjoyed! Gabrielle and Trevor sent very detailed directions to the property and lots of information about places to visit. We wouldn't hesitate to return to and recommend this property.

Accommodation exceeded our expectations, warm and comfortable, lovely quiet location close to the lakes and Scottish boarders Owner left us a bottle of wine and allowed us to use the garden which was very much appreciated Enclosed yard was perfect for our dog Would recommend and will definitely return

Very comfortable and warm - great location for visiting North Lakes.

The annex is lovely, a perfect size for a long or short break.

Everything you need in one place and the bed is lush. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with local walks to enjoy. A short drive and you have a lovely little village called Pooley bridge. With local shops and several local pubs, would recommend the Pooley bridge inn, fantastic food. On our next visit to the lakes i will not hesitate to try and book the Annex, it was just such a comfortable place to stay. Many thanks to Gabrielle and Trevor for the use of the Annex and the Complimentry wine went down a treat.

Very hard to locate especially in the dark when arriving, bed mattress needs updating as was very uncomfortable also a few more pillows needed and sofa was dated but apart from that was a pleasant stay.

The Annex is in a beautiful location, ideal for exploring the area.

The bed and sofa very comfy. The downstairs hanging space is very inconvenient, wooden staircase extremely slippery in bare feet during the night. We will not be able to return to the property due to the bathroom/staircase issues.

It was very comfortable, clean, and warm, in an attractive area, and very handy for Penrith.

Most things were provided. The main downside is the shower room being downstairs, but we knew this in advance - the main problem being visits in the night. The Venetian blinds need attention - it took me 10 minutes to coax the ones at the north end down, so we left them down for the whole stay. The freezer is noisy. The neighbour to the east needs to trim the creeper on the wall, because it is interfering with the ability to close the window at the back of the sink.

Had a fantastic stay in this lovely property.

Very well equipped and perfectly located for our trips out. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return

Lovely place in great setting - would highly recommend to anyone considering the annexe at Edenhall.

Great place to stay,2nd visit walks good, and easy to get to .

Gabrielle the owner leaves you a bottle of wine as a welcome. All the major tourist attractions are not to far in the car, better eateries in Penrith,For those looking for peace and quiet the annex is a gem clean comfortable and better than a lot of others in past experience .Well done Gabrielle .

First of all the arrival did not have the WOW factor.

But it sort of grew on us. A problem with the TV was found to be the leads from the Freesat aerial being disconnected. It is quirky that the bathroom, hanging space, drawers, mirror etc are in the entrance area on the ground floor whilst the rest of the studio is upstairs. The fact that there are uneven steps outside and frequent use of the stairs inside should be more prominently mentioned. Good basic holiday let but very good value for money

My daughter and I have visited here a few times and we just love it.

It has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. The owner is friendly and ready to help with anything. I would recommend this property to anyone who can manage stairs.

Lovely little apartment.

Bit chilly at the end of February as only heated by electric heaters. The owners request that these are turned off if out so coming back in the evenings, it was particularly cold. The heaters were quite noisy so we had to also turn them off throughout the night to sleep. Other than this a lovely place to stay and the pub across the road serves delicious food.

Great set-up in a wonderful location.

We were made to feel very welcome even though ours was a very last minute booking. The situation of one main room suited us well.

Beautiful little cottage well equipped everything you need nice little village loved our stay

Take plenty of waterproof clothes as you are in the right area for heavy rain, plus nearest pub is always fully booked for meals weekend, easy to get into Eden dales and northern lakes ,ideal for one or two people lots of places to go to .

A lovely and unusual place, very conveniently located close to the M6 and within easy reach of the Ullswater area and other parts of the northern Lakes.

Very nice to have dedicated off-road parking, beautiful village, and plenty of information provided by the owner. A great place to stay for one or two people (and a dog - Charlie loved it!).

It’s was the perfect location for a break and a small, intimate place to stay for a couple.

I’d recommend downloading the Go Jauntly app or similar to find local walks

A very comfortable place to stay, can’t fault it and the bottle of wine was a most appreciated extra.

We had a lovely stay at the Annex - we had such a good week in the Lake District and it was so nice to come back to a nice, clean place to relax in the evenings.

Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent facilities and clean good location to motorway to travel to lakes, nearest town penrith and Keswick about 40 mins to Windermere, the annex is set in peaceful pretty village and the host was also caring about our needs with the wine & milk left on our arrival, would definitely return.

The Annexe was a lovely base for a week of exploring the Eden valley, Penrith and the Lake District.

Very comfortable and cosy holiday let with all the amenities you need for your stay. The bed was comfortable, the shower has good pressure and everything was very clean. Owner Gabrielle provided lots of great information about the flat and the area, which was very helpful. Edenhall is very quiet, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. There was a small issue with the Wifi, but Gabrielle was able to sort it very quickly, which was very nice. The only odd thing was that the fridge and freezer were both off and warm when I arrived, and it would have been nice if these were properly cold upon arrival. Loved my stay and would stay again!

This property is perfect for two people.

It has everything you need, is really comfortable and in a beautiful location. Great walks on the doorstep and a great hotel which welcomes dogs in the bar and conservatory and serves lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice accommodation in a lovely little village, ideal for a relaxing break.

Enjoyable week having been in lockdown.

I spent much of my time fishing whilst my husband walked with the dog every day. The accommodation suited us along with being dog friendly. Will be booking the cottage again.

Second visit so knew how lovely the apartment is.

It's lovely and spacious. Not cramped at all to say that everything is in one room. We were lucky this time to see a red squirrel in the garden.

Lovely place, clean quiet and the owners were very helpful.

We had a mail telling us where to go and with details of the area. I would highly recommend this place for a quick getaway

The Annexe is cosy, clean and well equipped.

Edenhall is a pretty village with lovely walks on the doorstep and access to the wider Lake District easy.

I'd happily book this property again - well equipped and very comfortable.

The design of the space is good and it is very well located for hiking in the Eastern and Northern Lakes as well as the North Pennines and Howgils. Two issues, neither of which affected me (i) despite my best endeavors I could not get the Television to work although I did manage the DVD - the very old equipment really needs an update (ii) internet access is problematic. The advice, after I had booked, was that access was best by a window. This was true, despite having a newish Macbook Pro I could not connect other than by the window, and t there the bandwidth was so low that web pages would not load. This was not an issue for me as there was 3G and I could chain to the iPhone but I had committed to online lectures on two evenings and this could have been a real issue. Nothing here that could not be solved by putting a cheap signal amplifier in said window by the way. On this point, there is a general issue here that I found in several Sykes (and other agencies). If you tick wifi on search criteria then it is not unreasonable to expect it, or for the property description to include any restrictions. So I think this is a QA question for Sykes as much as for the property

We had an enjoyable stay at the annexe and would of loved to stay longer.

It as very clean and had everything that you needed.It’s in a great location and easy access to discover other areas. The village is lovely and the locals we came across were very pleasant. We w3nt to the hotel for a drink and a meal , they had a good selection although they had sold out of a couple of items but the food was lovely

Weather unkind (cannot be helped, but but the Annex was very comfortable) so still enjoyed our visit.

Lovely and cosy Annex and a good base for visiting the Lakes.

The booking was really easy, great communication from the host. We really appreciated how clean and quiet our stay was, particularly in the current circumstances. Highly recommended! We hope to come back!

The annex was in a great location and the facilities were spot on.

Our only issues was that there were lots of old dusty spider webs in the windows and the rafters. The headboard and the stairs were also dusty. The house could do with a good deep cleaning. Also as we were there for four days some more towels or washing machine tabs to wash the towels would have been handy. Other than that the place was great and we would love to stay there again.

Excellent location for a quiet break away

Lovely annex cottage in a great location to explore the north lakes.

It was ideal for my partner and I and our dog Dexter! The local restaurant Eden hall hotel was fantastic and served excellent food next to a log burning stove on a cold night! Very much appreciated Many thanks Allison

We had a lovely stay although we both struggled to sleep mainly due to the fact that everything is in one room, as it were, so you hear the noise of the fridge, the heating and all other little clicks and creaks through the night.

We hadn't appreciated that there were low beams in the property: at 6ft 1in my partner struggled with this and hit his head more than once when he forgot to 'dip' under the beams. We spent all of our days out and our evenings in at the property. Cooking there is easy and there's a good fridge and little freezer. The kitchen utensils could do with a little overhaul: things to stir with would be useful as would some serving spoons (there is only one wooden spoon and that is broken and split...very unhygienic). WiFi was good until the visitors at the main house, next door, went online and then it struggled to provide a strong signal to the Annex. This only affected us badly once or twice when we were trying to use the internet to plan our next day's activities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this warm and cosy rental. Edenhall is a lovely, well placed quiet little village from which you can do a couple of easy walks straight from the front door which we did as well as venturing further afield.

A lovely apartment.

I was dubious about the size since it was all in one room, but there is plenty of room and didn't feel cramped.Everything you could possibly want was provided. Including a bottle of wine and some milk. Only thing is it wouldhave been nice to have some plants in the courtyard. Such a nice place to sit would be perfect with a bit of colour. I will be booking again.

Perfect!

Nothing springs to mind

A lovely little place for me and my dog to stay for a couple of nights.

This is a lovely place to stay for a short break.

Edenhall is a beautiful village and Ladies Walk is a pleasant easy walk. The cottage has all the amenities you need and sitting at the window trying to spot red squirrels is a must (we didn't see any on this trip). The heating is electric and gets a little getting used to after central heating but did not spoil the experience. The beams are a little low for anyone 6 foot or more! Would recommend staying here with a dog patio secure and bar in village dog friendly. Food is good here too.

excellent location and facilities, welcoming bottle of wine and chocolates was a lovely touch.

A lovely apartment it met all my needs.

we had a lovely relaxed weekend away from the hustle and bustle of our working life.

very quiet place to stay even thought we were surrounded by other tenants in the attached houses. didn't hear a peep. thank you

We loved this holiday accommodation!

!! Comfortable and modern with everything you could need for a relaxing week away in the Lake District. The annex not only suited us perfectly but was in a great location for all local attractions and beautiful walks for our fur baby. The owners went over and above to make us feel welcome. Thank you

perfect in every way had a lovely stay and would definitely book again.

Think the outside space could do with some work.

Felt a bit like the end of the season with things like soap powder , salt pepper etc all empty when we arrived. I think also some new plates are needed as the existing ones or very badly cracked. On the whole good, the owner more than helpful when l could not work the tv ,which l think could do with updating. Would go back as location very good .

Everything was great except the wifi, very poor and dropped in and out all the time.

We had the Annex for 7 days, and was planning to plan our trips as we went along. It just got to hard because the wifi dropped in and out all the time and the signal was very weak, except if you went ouside under the window of the main house, where you could get a strong signal. Which isn't very practical having to go outside when you wanted to use it, or when it rained.

We had a thoroughly lovely Lake District break.

The Annex was a perfect base, we loved that it was so private and we could explore an area we hadn’t visited before. Hopefully we will be booking again soon. Nicki and Oliver Wolfe

Just what we wanted and needed.

Very helpful hosts who left us all we needed

I have stayed in Edenhouse annex twice this year and already I’m looking to when I can return.

I go with my 14 year old daughter and dog, and, it feels like our own home...only better! There are no signs of anyone having used it-only the visitors book. The place is immaculate! For anyone who needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life then this is the place for you. The only sounds heard are the birds singing. The studio has everything you could possibly need and it’s very spacious. It’s decorated to a very high standard with the inside front wall left in brick. A very peaceful little village with friendly neighbors. This last time I couldn’t get the washing machine working so I rang the owner and she sorted it out without delay. The lady seemed genuinely concerned that our stay would be comfortable. I have stayed in many places even posh hotels abroad but this is definitely my favourite place. I have already recommended Sykes Cottages and will continue to do so (for this property). Thank you. I can’t wait to return.

Great location in lovely village.

Easy access to Lakes & other areas. Really comfy and well planned accommodation, perfect for two and a dog.

Fabulous Annex, beautiful village and outstanding scenery who could ask for more?

We loved the Annex it was a lovely mix of modern facilities in an authentic building. It was brilliant for the dog too. We also appreciated the personal touches like the bottle of wine and the helpful information about the surrounding area. We will definitely return.

Lovely apartment, Complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch.

We met the cleaning team when we arrived and they could not have been any more helpful or welcoming. Am going to book some time there again shortly.

Have booked with Sykes cottages numerous times and the properties are always as stated & really enjoy our stays.

Quick & easy to book & good value.

Lovely location.

Helpful owners . Property as described. Would return.
