Tullythwaite Garth

We were a little bit surprised at the lack of information in the property concerning our stay.

There were no instructions on how to use anything! We managed because we are experienced self caterers! The Wifi was difficult to set up though brilliant once done, no cooker instructions, no recycling info (found by visiting bins) , no TV info. which we worked out by trial and error and finally no info about towels and bedding at the end of our stay. All these things could be fixed easily by a couple of sheets somewhere in the house.

Lovely cottage away from the tourist areas and very quiet area which made for a relaxing get away.

The cottage was well maintained and looked after. A lot of the things you would need are provided including a lovely complimentary coffee and tea bundle with biscuits as well as appropriate items to clean up after yourself. I was unsure if there was an expectation to clean bedding and towels but with a 10am check out I didn't see how it would be possible to wash, dry and lay these out in time. We just made sure to wipe all surfaces and empty bins before leaving and returned the keys. I would definitely return here again

The property is wonderful.

We found it easily following the directions sent to us. It was straightforward to get the keys from the box next to the front door. The property was clean and in good repair. It was in a quiet location, but Kendal and Windermere are easy to visit. Loved that the bedroom was downstairs no dragging cases upstairs. Reading the previous comments I noted many people received a Welcome basket of supplies, unfortunately we didn't. It was late when we arrived and there wasn't even any salt!! Basics like salt, pepper etc would have been useful. Obviously we brought our own food but expected basics. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit we loved our stay and would love to return, maybe during a different season.

Beautiful cottage nestled away in the hills.

It has everything you require and it's not far away from places like Kendal and Windermere. We loved our stay and would recommend staying here and would love to return in the future.

This is the first time we have visited Tullywaite Garth,very impressed with the property an upside down house for views of the countryside which were lovely, a very peaceful setting.

Property was clean, well equipped, homely, The property was quite secluded,but with easy access to surrounding area. We would definitely visit again.

Cottage was very clean,comfortable,had everthing you needed,was well kitted out,lots of space,we would return if in the Lake District again.

Beautiful property with stunning views.

Property was very clean and well maintained. Area was very peaceful and quiet which we enjoyed. Very well equipped with everything you need to make the stay comfortable.

This is the 10th time I have been and love it more and more.

Back again in April

We loved the property.

It was convenient to get to places, but it needs to be made clear before you go that you can't put toilet paper down the loo. Maybe provide nappy bags as well as the bin. In summer that would make it more hygienic. Shame the roads were shut. Everything else was really good.

Wonderful week, clean and lovely area to explore The Lake District.

Wish we had known before hand that there is a road closed which we believe had been closed for some time, so follow the signs to Crook then you should find it. We had a small problem, phoned the number proved by didn’t get back to us but we did sort it out. Very quiet which we loved

The property is gorgeous, well equipped and in beautiful countryside- what more could you ask for?

Had a great time in this little cottage.

Clean and well equipped in lovely, quiet surroundings (sheep outnumbering people about a 100-1), served as an excellent base camp to explore the Lakes. The cottage is only approachable through single-track roads, so make sure you pay attention whilst driving in the area.

The cottage was very well equipped.

It was unfortunate that due to road closures the diversions were along narrow country lanes with on coming traffic not particularly slow which made the first twenty minutes to get anywhere quite a strain.

Lovely cottage with great views, well appointed.

But NO Internet all week, made planning days out hard. Property attached to cess tank, signage indicates toilet paper should not be flushed, seperate bin provided.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tullythwaite Garth.

The cottage was ideal. Exceptionally clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils and appliances. It was an ideal location for exploring the south lakes. Would certainly book this cottage again if we holidayed in the south lakes.

The property was well furnished and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay, although having looked at previous feedback there are still a couple of issues that haven't been addressed.

The shower holder was broken and the curtain in the bedroom could not be fully closed, which was a problem as next door were having their roof done and the workmen were walking past the window from early in the morning. The main issue was that on Monday workmen dug up the road outside the property to work on new Wifi, which created problems leaving and accessing the property and we had no Wifi from Tuesday to Friday when we left. There was no local contact details left for us, so I spent a long time trying to access Lakelovers by messenger, WhatsApp and web messages and have still not had any feedback from that, which is not what I would expect from a lettings company, we were extremely disappointed and not likely to use you again due to lack of support.

This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage.

Generally we found it to be very clean and tidy. It’s in a good location that is peaceful and quiet. However there are some things that need rectification. The shower head needs replacing as it is broken and cannot be adjusted. We had to switch off and defrost the freezer as it never stopped running and was frozen up that badly that the drawers could not be opened. The noise it made when we were in bed below it was very loud and kept us awake. The curtains at the door have lots of hanger clips missing and or broken. We moved the blanket box in the bedroom out into the hall after my wife hit her toe on it getting out of bed in the night. The curtain on the left hand window in the bedroom does not close fully due to the end hanging ring not being fixed, and finally the toilet seat fixings are loose and it moves when in use.

The cottage was lovely and clean and tidy and looked amazing when we walked in.

A pleasure to stay with Sykes Cottages

Brilliant place.

My 3rd time here and just keeps getting better. Will be back again

Perfect little place and it would be a five star review, I came to get some peace and also do some work in the evenings.

The internet connection was totally unusable though, took minutes to load a very basic web page. I'm aware this could just be the area, but I've stayed in rural homes before where it was at least usable! Couldn't really do any of the tasks I'd hoped to do as internet couldn't cut it. If you want a getaway which includes an escape from connectivity, this is the one for you! A beautiful cottage though and gorgeous surroundings.

Superb all round.

Spotlessly clean, generously equipped. A lot of thought has gone into creating a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. Thank you.

Would have gave 5 stars but unfortunately the WiFi did not work all week.

Tullythwaite Garth was a brilliant relaxing getaway in the lovely Lake District.

I can highly recommend this cottage to my friends qnd family.

We had a very enjoyable week at Tullythwaite Gully.

The property provided us with everything we needed for the week, in a quite location. We appreciated the welcome packs. Would recommend to anybody looking for a stay away from a tourist location but within driving or cycling distance.

A brilliant, peaceful place to stay.

Packed with all the home comforts needed. A really lovely holiday home and somewhere I would highly recommend. The following are not complaints, nor did either impact upon our stay . Please note: the freezer door catches on the side and was slightly wedged open when we arrived. It took us a while to discover this and so it began to over freeze. We ended up defrosting it and made certain the door closed tight. The freezer would be fine,if it could be moved slightly over but there is a piece of wood wedging it to one side. Also, the wood coverering pipes in the bathroom isn't fixed and tends to fall forward now and again.

A lovely, peaceful cottage in a gorgeous location in the Lyth Valley.

Really well equipped, with everything we needed, especially the kitchen, with induction hob, dishwasher, large under-counter freezer, as well as separate fridge, Miele washing machine and PLENTY of cutlery, glasses and crockery! Very comfy bed. Lots of local books and maps. Walks on your doorstep. Just a few minutes drive into Kendal and an hour from Keswick. So easy to explore so much of the Lake District. We've had a fantastic holiday - thank you.

A peaceful idyllic cottage, extremely well equipped.

Only a short drive away from Lake Windermere and all of its attractions.

We had a lovely week at the cottage, it was well equipped with everything we needed even a washing machine and freezer, all very clean.

There was a welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, enjoyed on our days out. It was very cosy and we felt right at home. We would definitely go again.

A beautiful cottage with wonderful views from all windows.

The upstairs living space is simply stunning - the photos do not do it justice (the upstairs flooring is wood rather than carpet shown in the photos and the TV has been updated to a large flat screen). It is much more spacious, bright and airy than we expected. The sofas and the bed are all very comfy and there is ample parking outside the cottage. There was no DVD player in the property despite the description mentioning that you can watch DVDs (and some are provided at the cottage), so bring your own if you plan on relaxing with a film - the upstairs area and bedroom do have smart TVs so you can access the usual apps with your accounts (BBC iPlayer, Disney plus, Netflix etc.). There were quite a few cobwebs around when we checked in, but you are in the countryside so it didn’t bother us too much. We also noticed dust underneath the sofas and tables and some of the utensils and glasses were not left very clean by previous guests, but the rest of the property was very clean and tidy. The shower is lovely and warm but we couldn’t get the hot taps in the kitchen, bathroom sink and the bath to heat up - however, being August this wasn’t too much of an issue either. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return again!

Our stay was very pleasant, the property was clean and tidy, there was everything there that was needed to make our stay enjoyable, the only thing of note was there was no hot water

A very enjoyable stay.

The frontage / garden could do with tidying up.

The cottage was fabulous and we both loved it.

Really well equipped, comfortable. No complaints at all. Perfect! The only comment I would make was regarding putting out the rubbish. The instructions were to leave the rubbish in a bin marked "Cumbria waste group" (or similar) but we could not find this bin, so the guidance needs an update.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable week, our accommodation was very spacious and comfortable we were out all day touring around, but is was nice to return to our cottage in the evening to relax and unwind, every thing that you need was on hand and working, our towels were very fluffy and white!

we were pleased that we were able to use our mobiles in the cottage as the service was not very good in some of the local areas we would highly recommend using this cottage...

No dishes to cook anything in, no baking tray, fring pan in bad state, no mattress protector on one of beds, lamps in bedrooms look very very old and tatty!

Stains on towels, luckily bought our own! All in all not what I paid for! Emailed Sykes a few times after their responses, since last email I sent over a week ago..no reply. Pretty disgusted. Would not recommend.

Lovely cottage, fabulous location ideal to get anywhere on the lakes or surrounding area, but just a few negative points.

Generally cleanliness of the cottage is below par and looks like it could do with a good clean and revamp in general (lick of paint, up-dated furniture etc.). There was also a problem with wasps (which was mentioned in the visitors book by another visitor), my dad was stung on the first night in the cottage (luckily he had no adverse reaction), all through the holiday we amounted quite a collection of dying wasps, no idea how they were getting in (but there had been mention of a nest in the book..... maybe need to get somebody in again to get the problem sorted).

Location is perfect for sightseeing in the Lake District.

Cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Would happily stay again.

Gorgeous cottage.

Beautiful area.

A quiet and tranquil holiday cottage where we could relax and unwind.
