September 2020

“Cottage was great, quirky layout but fine once you got your head round it.”

Beds really comfy and bed linen good. Kitchen well equipped and good outside space.

Mr Hannaway August 2020

“The holiday home is great but cleanliness was disappointing.”

Cobwebs, dirty skirting boards top of microwave, next to the oven etc. My understanding from Sykes was due to covid the place would be extra clean with unnecessary items removed. This was to include soft furnishings such as cushions on settees and the many ornaments (that covered every surface) would be removed. Also it is misleading to say parking for two cars outside as it is a battle to find a space for one car each day near to the property. Small things that were irritating when on holiday we’re the battery being flat in the tv remote and clocks and no markings on the hob/oven so you could not see what either dial was for or what temperature it is on. Also the tap that wouldn’t turn off in the bathroom and dripped constantly and was difficult for my children to turn on to wash hands. The toilet needs attention as the flush gets stuck and the water keeps flowing until you push the button again. The beds were comfortable. When paying £595 for a week I want to relax with a clean property where things work easily.

Mr Brown October 2019

“Nice quaint cottage with everything we needed.”

Owner helpful and friendly. Convenient situated to plenty of attractions. Would happily stay here again.

Mr Aldenat October 2019

“I have used Sykes for many years now and it is always been a great experience ...”

I have used Sykes for many years now and it is always been a great experience with great service, thorough communications and brilliant choice of cottages

- Mr Aldenat, October 2019
Mrs Met September 2019

“Overall expectations were met, re: facilities, comfort and location.”

However, shower and bath are very old style, therefore not easy to use. But the most unacceptable thing was that the bath and shower cubicle were not cleaned after previous people. Very unhygienic. Somebody 's hair in the bath and on the shower walls... disgusting. Also, would be useful to have a bin in the bathroom. The only one in the house is downstairs, in the kitchen. Apart from that, we had a lovely holiday and comfortable stay there. Nice owner and a bottle of wine in the fridge was appreciated.

- Mrs Met, September 2019
Mr Peace July 2019

“On entering Seaview Cottage (no view of the sea or any water!”

) we were overwhelmed by the smell of damp which was particularly bad in the kitchen/dining room. Unfortunately there was no signal to the TV and the shower room had a cracked tile. Mr Barr acknowledged the issues with the TV and after a few days had a sky dish fitted which solved the problem, he also said he had plans to tank the walls in order to deal with the damp problems. The other issue for us was the constant noise of traffic from the dual carriageway which was within approx 25-50 metres from the property. Due to the gardens location it was difficult to get full use as all equipment for barbecues etc needed to be transported to the garden, including furniture. This could be a really comfortable and charming cottage, which has all the things you need (dishwasher, microwave fridge freezer etc.) but requires a face-lift and some TLC, in a great spot for touring the lakes and surrounding area, unfortunately due to the noisy road and current condition of the cottage we will not return.

- Mr Peace, July 2019
Mr Bilsborrow August 2018

“When we arrived at the cottage we was greeted by the owner and he showed us around and showed us where everything was and how to use the facilities in the house.”

It was also really nice of him to leave us a bottle of wine and a small bottle of milk in the fridge and on the living room table a bowl of sweets. The property was clean and tidy and the beds was made up, the double bed was on the hard side but the single beds was comfy. There was plenty of towels and tea towels to use and the kitchen was equipped with toaster, kettle, fridge freezer and dish washer and cutlery and crockery. The front of the cottage opens out onto the street and even though there wasn't designated parking, I had no problems parking in-front of the house. The property was well situated for visiting the south lake district area and within Greenodd near by to local shops, the pub and a fish and chip shop. We would like to stop here again.

- Mr Bilsborrow, August 2018
Ms Wayman June 2018

“The cottage was lovely, though no Sea View?”

It suited our needs greatly and although it said there was no parking it was great to actually be able to park outside the cottage, although it wasn't allocated parking we had no problem which was very handy as we had two children in tow! The bedding was lovely and clean and aired and there were ample towels. The cottage had some small DIY jobs that needed doing, handles coming off doors, dripping tap but no major problems at all. The garden it should be noted is separate from the cottage which was a little disappointing as part of the reason we chose it was that we hoped for a small garden to let our three year old into. However it didn't detract from the holiday as she enjoyed a good splash in the puddles in the back lane instead! The host was lovely and there to meet us and even agreed to us arriving early so the little ones could get their midday nap. We stayed there to visit the local South Lakes Animal Park over the two days which is fantastic and would highly recommend it. The cottage represented good value for money and we would stay there again.

- Ms Wayman, June 2018
Mr Dunning May 2018

“Enjoyed a 4 night break at "sea view" in May 2018.”

Although "sea view" is stretching it a little [!!] this delightful three level cottage is well placed for the southern end of the lake district. There was a welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge, sweets in the lounge and tea, coffee, etc. in the kitchen. Nice powerful shower and other facilities made it a real home from home.

- Mr Dunning, May 2018
Mrs Langguth April 2018

“The whole cottage was not really clean and not really dirty.”

The shower was not really functional. The mattress of the beds were very used and not comfortable. In the kitchen we found only 4 forks and no glasses for water, only for wine, champagne and beer. The house is next to a heavy used road which we didn’t hear in the evening or night. That was a positive surprise. There were two chairs for children and a lot of family games, such as jigsaws. Infrastructure is good.

- Mrs Langguth, April 2018
Mr Lockie February 2018

“The house was recently renovated and clean.”

We were disappointed that there was no washing machine and the TV barely received three channels and no WiFi too. Sea view is interesting and the location backing into a dual carriageway needs to be clearer.

- Mr Lockie, February 2018
Mrs Sherman December 2016

“Good standard well equips cottage”

- Mrs Sherman, December 2016
Mr Stretton October 2016

“Great location, good walking on the doorstep and many nearby places to visit by car or bus.”

Cottage very comfortable and had everything you need, only downside is the very busy dual carriageway running near to the rear of the property, would not stop us from returning though.

- Mr Stretton, October 2016
Dr Vijayakumar August 2016

“Poor signal of TV channels and mobile ...”

Poor signal of TV channels and mobile WIFI facilities desirable Wash basin and same level toilet with bedrooms is ideal

- Dr Vijayakumar, August 2016
Mrs Myers-shone August 2016

“The photographs of the garden are not accurate.”

It was overgrown and we were unable to use it. Mr Barr did explain he had lost his wife and was not able to maintain it, with which I can sympathise. Also the view in the photograph above is not accurate. There is a by-pass running at the back of th property and tall trees have been planted to conceal it. So there is no view. There is a television but it only allows you to watch bbc1. which after long days with children we sometimes wanted to settle to watch something as a family as there are only so many games you can play. Fortunately we used the property as a base to visit the great places around the area. However there are no sandy beaches to walk to as it is on an estuary with sinking sand which you cannot access. This property was great for this. But not suitable for a relaxing holiday. On a positive note Mr Barr had left all essentials we needed and, very thoughtfully, a bottle of wine and milk. The property itself was well presented and clean.

- Mrs Myers-shone, August 2016
Mr Eaton May 2016

“Sea View had friendly neighbours, was in a good location and there was a pleasant feel to cottage.”

There is a good separate garden area for relaxation.

- Mr Eaton, May 2016
Miss Wood September 2014

“The cottage was perfectly situated to explore the beautiful Lake District.”

It was a beautifully presented home which we could not fault. No problems at all with parking, we would defiantly consider coming back here again.

- Miss Wood, September 2014
Mr Beresford March 2013

“Nice, warm, cosy little cottage located suitably for access to the South Lakeland area.”

We used it as a base for walking & found it ideal. Village has a little pub, couple of shops, a fish & chip shop and there is a decent pub/restaurant within 5 mins drive of the property.

- Mr Beresford, March 2013
Mr Jones December 2012

“A charming warm cottage in a little Lake District village - a perfect getaway in the winter months, especially if you enjoy walking.”

The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

- Mr Jones, December 2012
Mr Petrie August 2012

“Conveniently located for South Lakes.”

Well maintained and equipped. Very helpful owner. Would happily return to this charming cottage.

- Mr Petrie, August 2012
Mr & Mrs Combes June 2012

“Our second visit, the cottage was as we remembered it - still the same very high standard.”

The bottle of wine and milk were very welcome - thank you. We will be back again.

- Mr & Mrs Combes, June 2012
Mrs Symons October 2011

“Everything provided - tea, coffee, sugar, plus pint milk and bottle of wine in fridge on arrival.”

We were an all adult party but if you have children it would be ideal with games and colouring books all provided in old fashioned school desks. There is a lovely deep old fashioned bath which is great after a days walking. An old cottage but very tastefully updated and ideally located south end of the lakes just off main road.

- Mrs Symons, October 2011
Miss Skelhorn October 2011

“Great location.”

As you step out of the cottage you have access to a range of walks, both coastal and hill, as well as being short drives from more commercial places like Conniston/Windermere. Great shower and great kitchen/diner space for a cottage. Very tasty fish and chips at the end of the road too. Pub is within stumbling distance.

- Miss Skelhorn, October 2011
Ms Cull August 2011

“It was within easy reach of many interesting places e.”

G. Coniston Water.

- Ms Cull, August 2011
Mr Smith June 2011

“Location, we love the Lakes and the unfussy but ideal accommodation.”

The owner was also pleasant and helpful without being intrusive as some owners can be.

- Mr Smith, June 2011
Mr Clarke June 2011

“The cottage was lovely and clean with everything you could need for a relaxing stay.”

Parking was never a problem outside the cottage. The location was excellent for walking and exploring the area.

- Mr Clarke, June 2011
Mrs Doyle March 2011

“Lovely cottage and lovely location.”

- Mrs Doyle, March 2011
Mrs Butler September 2010

“The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

The owners were there to welcome us and show us around. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were provided for our arrival and there was also a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge! We had a quiet, relaxing time with everything we needed within easy reach of the cottage. We would definitely consider returning.

- Mrs Butler, September 2010
Mr Chadwick September 2010

“We were delighted with the overall standard of Sea View - it couldn't really be faulted in any department.”

We would like to compliment our hosts for a very friendly welcome and the overall standard of their cottage. We found this to be up amongst the best self catering accommodation we have experienced.

- Mr Chadwick, September 2010
Mrs Cowell December 2009

“It was close to everything we wanted and easy driving to the lakes, etc.”

- Mrs Cowell, December 2009
The Scotts December 2009

“Excellant Accomodation”

House is lovely, very clean, everything you need is there. The only draw back is the amount of stairs, not recommended for the elderly. It is ideally placed for touring the lake district. Would definately rent again.

- The Scotts, December 2009
A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2009

“Great little cottage”

Just a few lines to say that we stayed here in June, were very lucky to have the best weather of the year and thought the cottage was great. A good local pub, excellent fish & chips on the doorstep and a real character cottage! There's no sea view though, times have changed in Greenodd! this didn't bother us at all but if you really do need a sea view then look elsewhere. Otherwise, I can't fault the place.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2009
Mrs Hamilton November 2009

“A very cosy cottage and we found the owners to be extremely friendly.”

- Mrs Hamilton, November 2009
Miss Stoker October 2009

“Great walks just from the door of the property.”

The lounge was very cosy and the kitchen was big and spacious. A lovely little village, because it was very close to the estuary and not far from other little villages and lake. One of the best holidays we have been on.

- Miss Stoker, October 2009
Mr & Mrs Bassick October 2009

“Overall our experience was very good and we have already recommended to family and friends.”

We have never stayed in such a clean and tidy cottage with so many little home touches - a credit to the owners.

- Mr & Mrs Bassick, October 2009
Mr Dix September 2009

- Mrs Brown, April 2009
Mrs Harry February 2009

“A good base to travel by car to the Lakes.”

It was only a short walk to the estuary, where we could let the dog off the lead. There was a good, friendly pub called The Ship Inn, which had good food at night.

- Mrs Harry, February 2009
Miss Dean December 2008

“The location of the cottage was great and the standard of accommodation was perfect and the extras the owners provided were very much appreciated.”

Everything was catered for and we were also left a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch. They also thought of our children and there were lots of colouring in things and games and our three wee ones loved that so thanks for that too! Really couldn't fault the cottage at all, was really impressed with the bedrooms as they were so clean and fresh.

- Mrs Chew, July 2007
Mr Pate June 2007

“Cottage was ideal for us.”

There was sufficient room for 2 plus dog. There was a walk from outside the back door taking us across the river by footbridge to a large varied area where all the local dog owners go. It was close enough to the Southern Lake District to enable us to easily explore different areas each day. Altogether an excellent cottage.

- Mr Pate, June 2007
Mr Drake April 2007

“A friendly welcome.”

Lots of thoughtful extras. Good location for the Lake District.

- Mrs Jolly, October 2006
Mr Drake August 2006

“The clean tidy and thoughtful layout of the cottage.”

The extra little touches that the owners had added that you would not normally expect. The friendliness of the owners and all others in the village who were interested in who was in the cottage that week, offered advice on where to eat and where to visit. This was a cut above most holidays you would expect.

- Mr Drake, August 2006
Mrs Postlethwaite July 2006

About the location

GREENODD

Ulverston 4 miles; Coniston 11 miles.

The small village of Greenodd rests on the estuary of the River Leven, within the Crake Valley, on the borders of the Lake District National Park. Once an 18th century shipbuilding centre and a significant commercial port, exporting locally quarried limestone, gunpowder and copper, Greenodd today is effectively a cul-de-sac with a selection of shops and a local pub, The Ship, which provides a visible link to the village’s history. The ancient market town of Ulverston is just 4 miles away, famous for its street markets and festivals, and boasts a wide range of shops, pubs and leisure facilities. It is also home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world. This is a great location for a walking holiday and all the attractions of the National Park are within easy reach, including Coniston and Windermere, as is the beautiful Furness Coast with its golden beaches and good birdwatching opportunities. An ideal location for enjoying fantastic coastal and countryside pursuits.
