What guests are saying
Stunning property in the most perfect, tranquil location.
Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, brilliant hot tub and a very well stocked kitchen. The view is out of this world… ever changing with the weather. Welcome hamper was extremely well received and very generous. Thank you for making our stay in the Lakes a very happy and memorable one.
The accommodation was perfect olso the welcome pack was also a lovely touch house had everything we needed plus the hot tub for a relaxing family holiday would highly recommend it five stars all the way
We stayed at Keepers Cottage to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday.
The cottage is lovely & very well equipped. The views from the cottage were splendid. The location was nice & quiet but also allowed easy access to explore the South Lakes. Overall we had a great holiday & would highly recommend Keepers Cottage.
The hosts were very welcoming and helpful.
Lovely touch receiving a welcome pack of bread, jam, biscuits, eggs, milk and butter . The location, view , accommodation and facilities including the wonderful hot tub was perfect for our family celebration.
A very well equipped cottage.
Extremely spacious and clean. Wonderful views and extremely secluded. One minor criticism is that the hot tub designed for 4 people only two jets will work at any one time. This was reported to the manager on our first day but we were told that the hot tub was fine. This fault was also reported back in 2025 and apparently also ignored
Thank you for your feedback, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. With regards to the criticism of the hot tub jets, this was reported to me early Saturday morning, I arranged to have it looked at the same morning and apparently there was no fault and all four jets were working fine, the issue was that the dials on the side of the hot tub had not been turned correctly which I explained in a telephone call. As regards to the comment that the same fault was reported in 2025, I can confirm that I did not receive any report of a fault therefore the issue was not ignored, I suspect that it was once again a case of the dials not being turned correctly.
We had a great weekend celebrating our sons 30th birthday.
The cottage was very spacious, comfortable and a great location. The host was lovely and talked us through everything we needed to know. Would recommend and will be back.
What a fantastic place this was!
The view was amazing and we enjoyed sitting on the patio listening for owls. The accommodation was of an excellent standard and Lynsey was very quick to deal with some minor issues. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone Thank you!
Wonderful holiday accommodation.
Beautiful views. Clean. Home from home. Great location for south of the lakes. Highly recommend.
The bathroom drains smell like a toilet.
Not the cleanest of properties. Hot tub only two sides work at a time when this is a six seat hot tub. Owners not ready for the 4 o’clock check-in so have to hang around. Apart from the view which was absolutely stunning this was the worst cottage we have stayed in the Lake District. Be careful if the cottage is not immaculate bearing in mind this is a college for six people they charge a £250 cleaning bill. We have had cleaned the floors and made sure everything was fine before we left yet still charge the £250.
The guests phoned me at 4pm to advise that they had arrived, I explained that I was showing guests around the cottage next door and that I would be with them in 5 minutes which I don't feel is an excessive wait. I showed the guests around and they were extremely happy with the way the property was presented, I personally check the cottage over prior to arrival and can confirm it had been cleaned to a very high standard. The guests did not complain about any aspect of the cottage during their stay. Unfortunately, we had to take £250.00 from the £500 bond as the cottage was left in a totally disgraceful state, the £250 went towards replacing the broken blind, damage to the bedside lamp, repainting a wall in the ground floor toilet, replacing soiled towels that were thrown in the bin and paying four Cleaners instead of the two it normally takes to turn the cottage around in the day. There are six cottages on the estate which have been in operation since 2016, I can confirm that in 9 years we have only ever had to take money form the good housekeeping bond on 3 occasions, this being one of them. I have sent all photographic evidence of the condition the cottage was left in to Sykes and advised that I would not except any further bookings from these guests.
A great family holiday cottage.
Very well equipped and maintained. Host responsive and helpful. Amazing view. The hot tub was a fabulous treat.
Excellent property well thought out for comfort & enjoyment & welcome basket was appreciated would definitely come again !
!
Excellent property, happy to recommend: details as listed, very well kept, superb views and location.
Had a beautiful stay at this stunning cottage, everything you could possibly need provided to make our stay a very comfortable one.
The views from the lodge were stunning and we enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub with glass of wine in hand! Can’t recommend enough and we will definitely be back!
This cottage was absolutely beautiful, it was so well equipped with everything needed or wanted for a break away.
We had a thoughtful welcome basket which was so kind. The setting was so peaceful, making our break away so relaxing. I could not recommend Keepers cottage enough, I will definitely book again.
We had a four night stay over the new year period.
A beautiful cottage. So warm and cosy. Spectacular views, great walks, comfy beds and a wonderful hot tub. Would highly recommend and would love to return.
We had a wonderful week here.
Lynsey was so welcoming and explained everything we needed to know. The house is very well equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Everyone said all the beds were very comfortable to sleep on. It really is a great base to explore the area. We were also very greatful to Lynsey when we had a flat tyre on the morning of leaving and she let us stay slightly over checkout to get sorted. I can't recommend it enough and if you are thinking of booking then go right ahead without any worries.
Delightful cottage in the most beautiful surroundings with gorgeous views Our host lady was ever so pleasant and helpful.
A well appointed cottage, set in a beautiful rural location.
The property comfortably accomodated our family of six, whilst retaining a cosy feel and the underfloor heating was very welcome on some of the cooler days. Thoughtful touches such as the flip flops and hot tub towels and welcome basket were appreciated. Friendly hosts, who were on hand if you required them. We hope to return in the future.
Such a lovely time.
Beautiful cottage. Really, really well stocked. Attentive host....always available. Great views. Couldn't fault. Thank you
Had a great time, grandsons enjoyed the hot tub, well equipped cottage, lovely walks from the door.
Ideal location for exploring the Lake District
Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.
The weather was lovely and made full use of the lovely patio and enjoyed the views and listening to the birds. Very comfortable inside and well kitted out.
Keeper's cottage is by far a superior accommodation.
It is spacious, comfortable and well equipped in all respects with ample and quality furnishings, curtains etc. Its outside provision with its enclosed and private terrace, with lovely whicker furniture including a hot tub is perfect. To add to all that, the views both near and far of the surrounding area with its rolling hills are stunning with the finishing touch of some spectacular sunsets each evening. What a great find.
Keepers Cottage is a lovely well equipped cottage with plenty of space and all mod cons.
The views are amazing, hot tub went down well with everyone and the welcome basket was greatly appreciated. We would recommend.
Keeper’s Cottage was immaculately clean and beautifully presented.
It was warm and cosy but very spacious for our family of five. Lovely sofas,comfortable beds and good quality towels and bedding.The hot tub towels and flip flops were a thoughtful addition. Our host left the key inside for us as we arrived late in the evening so the groceries provided for us were a very welcomed surprise .The cottage was in a superb area with plenty of local walks but still only a short drive to all the Lake District has to offer. It was the first time our family had visited this area of the UK but we will certainly return for future holidays. We have booked many different properties with Sykes and we are never disappointed. Highly rated.
A great place to stay, we really enjoyed the quality of the home, very quiet and peacefull,, had dinner outside with a great view.
The hot tub was excellent. The welcome basket, was the best we every had in the UK and most appreciative to get things started. Our host Lindsay, was very special And explained everything to us on arrival. We hope to go back some day. We are on holiday from Canada with our son and his wife to celebrate my 80th birthday and his 50th
Lovely cottage.
Very well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful location.
Lovely cottage in an amazing location.
The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous time… from lots of space and a well equipped kitchen to great bedrooms / bathrooms and a beautiful hot tub with breathtaking views… what more could you wish for!
What a wonderful property with the most amazing views.
All facilities as described. Keepers Cottage is located within easy driving of all the attractions. We had a really enjoyable, relaxing holiday. Plenty of room for everyone. Quiet & secluded. Other properties on site but does not interfere with Keepers Cottage in any way at all. This really is a dream place to stay.
Beautiful house with amazing views.
The contacts for the property were very helpful and friendly. Would just suggest you get more cups, 8 beakers weren’t very much for 6 people staying. Thanks for a fantastic week
What a fabulous place , perfect for our family get away.
Everything about it was excellent and we’ll get back .
Great location, property had everything you could need.
Warm welcome.
Wow!
What a cottage! Cosy and warm, yet spacious enough that an adult family of 5 don't feel like they are on top of each other. The beds are comfortable and the bedding quality. Everything that you need for a break is provided, all kitchen basics, maps, suggested walks, games and logs for the fire. The views are amazing! And the hot tub, is well, fab. The only down side that we could find was that we had to leave after our week was up.
We loved our stay at Keepers Cottage.
The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable and very well equipped with all the basics. We also found the location ideal to explore the local area. The kids loved the space too.
This is a lovely cottage.
Stunning scenery looking over the valley straight out of the back doors, perfectly enjoyed from the hot tub. The beds were extremely comfortable and it’s a great base to explore the surrounding area. Lots of wonderful walks, great pubs and restaurants nearby.
We had a truly memorable week at Keeper’s Cottage.
It is a beautiful and comfortable property with first class facilities in a stunning location. The generous welcome hamper was a real treat and communication with Lyndsey on Reception was easy and effective. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We will be back!
Simply perfect - just the best view ever, lovely high standard of equipment and care provided - will be back for sure
Great property and location.
A perfect venue, quiet, well positioned, close to Kendall and Windermere. Highly recommended.
Absolutely stunning , the property was amazing, every detail was perfect right down to the pleasant Christmas smell as you walked in .
Heated floors were amazing on cold mornings. Lovely spacious bedrooms . An unmatched view to wake up to on a morning . The fact that every bedroom had an ensuite which was amazing. Every need was catered for , right down to having the fire wood topped up when we called . Cannot praise this place enough , and the owners . Will definitely be back ! A big Thankyou to Lyndsay and Andrew and the team from Chris ,Ben,Kim and Alfie
The place was extremely clean and there was a great living space.
The checkout time states 10am on the website however the owners made it clear that it was half 9 so this was a little awkward. We would say the service and interactions with the owners had alot left to be desired however we didn't let this affect us having a great time. There was an awful drain smell which came and went throughout the week in the bathrooms, sometimes you couldn't smell anything and other times it was dreadful. Wouldn't revisit again but enjoyed it for the week.
The cottage is in a stunning location with extensive views.
The interior is beautifully designed and the hot tub very welcome! We hadn't noticed any mention in the publicity, of stairs between the entrance, the kitchen and the lounge as well as the main staircase. A challenge for thosed with mobility challenges. The heating was eractic. Overall a really enjoyable experience!
All the little touches were perfect and the accommodation was fantastic.
Lovely friendly welcome and good communication from Sykes and the owners. Highly recommend.
Keepers Cottage did not disappoint.
It is in a quiet location with great views, within easy reach of other parts of the Lakes. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped - it is the best cottage we have stayed in. The welcome basket of goodies was much appreciated. We will definitely go back and would highly recommend.
Fantastic cottage and what a view from the hot tub.
Such a lovely location fir a long awaited family celebration holiday. Lynsey was really helpful
Beautiful cottage with stunning views, perfect for exploring the southern Lake District.
Beautiful property finished to a very high standard.
Lovely views over the valley and estuary. Reception on site during office hours and any txt enquiries looked into promptly by Lynsey and the team. No evidence that any checks on the hot tub during our 7 day stay but I'm sure if any issues had been reported the team would have looked into it.
We had an amazing time in Keeper’s Cottage.
A beautifully designed place with a view that can’t be beaten! We even cancelled a dinner on our final night because we wanted more time to enjoy being there! Would love to return and we were well looked after by Lynsey.
Keepers cottage is a beautiful property in stunning surroundings.
It is well equipped,clean and comfortable. It's a great location for exploring the southern lakes. Fantastic views,luxury hot tub, great host and communication.
The cottage was lovely, clean, comfortable and views were stunning, even when raining!
!
Keepers Cottage is a 10 out of 10 holiday property, immaculately maintained by the owners.
Great care had been taken to provide every comfort we might need during our stay. The welcome pack and chilled Prosecco in the fridge were a welcome find! The views from the patio and hot tub are amazing, we had the perfect family holiday.
Welcome pack was unexpected touch which helped make a great stay.
Found cottage comfortable and well maintained, would love to go back when weather is better to enjoy the patio more, shame no gazebo or such like available for hot tub or for use with table and chairs. Lynsey and her team were so friendly and made us so welcomed.
Great location, great property, fabulous weather, enough said!
The cottage and surrounding area and views can only be described as spectacular.
Had the most amazing time and would love to stay again. Not a stone has been left unturned in the planning of this place in terms of sheer luxury and layout of the cottage and outdoor area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Big thank you from the “Collins” family
Peaceful setting, fantastic views and spacious comfortable accommodation
Can not fault this place.
A welcome pack with essentials such as tea and milk perfect after a long drive getting there. Breathtaking views from the bedroom and hot tub, perfect after a day exploring the region.
Absolutely superb, everything was spotlessly clean, so many extras like a hamper of artisan bread, eggs, Prosecco, could see miles of views from the Hot tub.
Plenty of good walks from the cottage, lovely quiet area but also near some fantastic pubs with ale & excellent food. Also the cottage had a very well equipped kitchen so we cooked and ate on the veranda...the views are so stunning you won’t want to go out every evening!
What an absolutely stunning property in a beautifully tranquil location.
We loved our stay at keepers cottage and Lindsay and Andrew couldn’t have done more for us. My mums birthday trip away was everything we hoped it would be and more. Close enough to pubs, activities including the steam railway and country walks but far enough away that you could just close the door on the world. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for renting our your beautiful cottage - it was out of this world.
The property was absolutely stunning sat in beautiful landscape.
The view from the hot tub was amazing. The awful weather didn't stop us enjoying the hot tub and the logburning fire soon warmed us up after jumping out back into the house. I loved the heated floors and didn't put my slippers on once. The gorgeous food hamper was a lovely touch. Cartmel is only a 10 min drive away with some lovely pubs and a fab wineshop with a winesnug attached to it for a few cheeky glasses. You've also got the option of picking your own cheese board from the cheese shop next door and taking it into the snug. We had a fab weekend in an amazing cottage and wpuld definitely recommend it to anyone.
Keepers Cottage was absolutely beautiful, everything about it was just perfect.
The cottage has everything you could need and was finished to a really high standard. The view were to die for especially when sat in the hot tub.
We had an excellent holiday, the accommodation was excellent and cleanliness standard was very high.
Hot tub was lovely & the views from it were fantastic. We stayed between Christmas & new year and we had a lovely Christmas tree in the living area which was such a nice touch. Also some lovely bread and jams were there on our arrival along with a bottle of champagne in the fridge!
Lovely place with great views, weather was a drought but didn’t stop up getting in the hot tub.
lovely and warm inside especially with the log fire. would definitely recommend can’t wait to go again.
Keepers Cottage had everything we needed for a superb upmarket self catering holiday in a stunning setting.
They provided every possible thing, (including a muddler for the gin!). The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated throughout. The hot tub on the patio had the most fantastic view, there was also plenty of outdoor furniture allowing for eating or just relaxing. Would definitely recommend!
Where do I start, beautiful property and very high standard, extremely well equipped, lovely welcome pack including prosseco!
!!! Views were breathtaking, this was booked for my husband's 50th and the owners very kindly brought him a card and wine, lovely touch, hot tub was amazing and to top it off wall to wall sunshine. Will def be recommending this property and hopefully will be back.
The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, very clean and the facilities available were fantastic, a home away from home.
The owners were every welcoming, provided a lovely welcome pack when we arrived which was greatly appreciated and the hot tub was superb with the views. An absolute treasure of a find and a perfect base for exploring the lakes.
Keeper's cottage is beautifully designed as are the other cottages in keeping with the original Estate development.
Everything was to a very high standard, including the cleanliness.We appreciated being able to walk from the cottage and walked to Cartmel and back! There are some lovely places to visit in the area and we had family staying at Lakeside Village which was really convenient. We have stayed in many self-catering properties over the years. Customers expect higher standards these days as it's not always the cheapest option, and Keeper's Cottage is at the top of our list. so thankyou to Sykes for offering a high standard of property to let.
Beautiful, luxury cottage with stunning views.
Lots of little unexpected extras - Prosecco, bread, milk, eggs, jams and biscuits left for us. Kitchen supplies eg tin foil. tomato sauce etc, also in the cupboards so we needn't have bought the kitchen sink with us! Have marked down facilities because of: Difficult to use the hob - maybe the pans weren't for induction? Took a long time to cook anything. Fire sensor directly about the grill in the kitchen which meant it went off constantly while grilling! Problem with the radiators in bedrooms 1 and 2 - very bad hammering sound day and night. Reported to owner as probably need draining. Owner kind and attentive. An excellent stay overall. Particularly enjoyed the use of the hot tub.
What a truly beautiful cottage in a stunning location.
It was above and beyond what we expected. Lyndsey the host was incredible, she would respond to any queries straight away. The hot tub was gorgeous overlooking the most beautiful of views. There was every amenity possible available at our disposal.The rooms were extremely clean and beautifully decorated. What a wonderful place to visit. Thank you so much for having us. This is now going to be our spot for our yearly girls weekend away. Expect to have us again next year :).
Absolutely stunning cottage in a stunning location!
The cottage was fabulous.
Welcome pack was lovely. All our needs were catered for. The view was absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful time and would revisit and would highly recommend this property to anyone.
The pictures do not do the cottage justice!
The view over the valley was breath-taking. Everything was excellent! The accommodation was better than described, and the price was exceptionally fair considering the facilities.
Fabulous, wonderfull, beautiful, stunning, amazing .
.........i could go on all day
A wonderful trip, very comfortable and relaxing.
We had a few problems with wifi but our hosts were extremely responsive and helpful in trying to fix it.
We all had a wonderful time.
Very friendly staff - lovely hamper on arrival. Well stocked cupboards with plenty of plates/dishes/glasses for 6 people as well as bedding & towels.
Thought the cottage and entire site was finished to a very high standard, it would be the perfect location for a large wedding party as a full entire rental.
The Cottage itself had every tiny detail considered, it was very well cleaned and I would definitely recommend it.
