"Love the cottage and the positioning, it was well appointed and comfortable."
Only one thing that I doubt Sykes could do anything about is that I could not open the bedroom windows at night, or the bathroom windows, as the midges would swarm in, which made it difficult in the hot weather, although there is a fan supplied which would have helped. I couldn't use the fan as it kept me awake.

"Lovely stay but as previous visitors have already commented, you can smell wet dogs each time you came in from outside."
Not sure if it's the rug or cushions in the front room that are causing the problem. Apart from that everything was fine and the apartment was well equipped. Very comfortable bed.

"A fabulous holiday apartment with amazing views."
The balcony was well used during the unexpected good weather. Very clean and comfortable. An issue with the boiler was quickly resolved and the attending heating engineer was very pleasant and helpful. Felt very relaxed and had a wonderful time. Hope to revisit. Sunday lunch at the Cuckoo Brow was good but weekday evenings food not so good. Too many dishes on offer, should concentrate on less choice but better quality. Very welcoming pub.

"We have stayed at many pet friendly accommodations around the country but this one was the first that you could tell it was a pet friendly place."
The cleanliness of the accommodation was seriously lacking. Dog hairs all over the floor, rug and door mat. Floors where filthy dirty and had not been moped or steam cleaned in a very long time. With COVID cleaning protocols we would have expected a much better cleanliness.
We even tried to use the hoover at one point and that was a mistake it stunk, smelt as if it was full, needed the filter cleaned or even better replaced.
However other than this the property is in a great location and has everything you need. Improve the cleanliness and do some maintenance and this would be a fantastic accommodation.

"This is a fabulous apartment in a fabulous setting and we paid for the privilege of such a fabulous setting as it was a special occasion."
However, for something to cost what it did I would have expected the kitchen equipment to be of a similar high standard but unfortunately this was disappointing. The kettle was full of black bits and the pans were in a terrible state and looked like they should be replaced.

"Fantastic location, some parts could have been cleaned that little bit better."
Some signs of wear that were easily rectifiable that weren’t. Overall a pleasant stay even if property a little on the steep side price wise. I’d maybe look into television and tv package upgrade as facilities somewhat lacking of an evening.

"Frost cottage was very well situated and nicely presented."
There were however a few signs of tiredness in the property such as water leak marks, a cracked wardrobe mirror and a dirty & stained floor rug. Other than that everything else was pleasant. The view was to die and we found our overall stay very pleasant

"We absolutely loved our stay at Frost, it is a well appointed and wonderfully situated cottage - the view of the lake from the balcony and bedroom would be hard to beat - perfect for a couple and dog."
Would highly recommend.

"We recently arrived home after spending 5 days at Frost over Christmas."
The cottage and it’s locality is stunning.
The proximity to the Lake and Ferry we found idyllic . We found everything really comfortable and warm & cosy. Everything there for our needs. The cute
Welcome hamper was so lovely and really thoughtful with high quality essentials of tea coffee Christmas marmalade, new year chutney, gin and beer.
It was lovely coming back to the lovely cosy cottage after a day hopping over on the ferry to bowness Windermere or hawkshead / coniston. So much to see. The chippy in hawkshead highly recommended and lovely owners who are so friendly. Food in cuckoo inn lovely also which is a short drive away.
Our only disappointment was the cleaning was not welcoming as on arrival we had to clean the fridge before putting food in it as was dirty and the couch had several stains on it which we also cleaned plus the rug smelt of wet dog so we rolled that up and didn’t use it. The owners have thought of everything for comfort of anyone staying at frost , it was a home from home and the views from living room and bedroom are so relaxing looking at the water. If cleaning was to a higher standard this place would be perfect, however we still cannot wait to return for another stay . It really is a place to chill and recharge. Thank you so much Sykes and Frost owners. This place is magical inside and out

"Having stayed in Gilson in Oct 19, Frost was every bit as good."
Great Accommodation, perfect for the two of us and the dog. Very clean and comfortable with excellent facilities and great walks to be had right from the door and easy access to the Ferry. Despite the restrictions we had a great relaxing time and the view of Windermere would be difficult to beat. We plan to be back the same time next year.

"Second time we have stayed here and we’re so in love with the place we booked again for March."
Perfect location and on our second visit we experienced a completely different holiday , choosing this time to explore the area on bikes given there are some amazing bike routes on your doorstep . Apartment is lovely and the welcome pack including milk, filter coffee, local jam, chutney, beer and gin is just first class. It was amazing to enjoy the autumnal colours from the balcony and to hop on the ferry over to Bowness-on- Windermere. We had a lovely Sunday lunch in the Cuckoobrow Inn which is just a 20 minute walk up the hill. This has become our home from home.

"The location of the property was wonderful, the kitchen facilities were excellent and the welcome package (including some milk) was a lovely touch."
Two minor comments for improvement; there is a hub for something like WiFi right above the bed, the hub has a bright green flashing light that can be quite irritating during the night. Additionally, the glass window panel by the front door could perhaps do with a blind or curtain for night time. There is a light outside the window on a timer; this light is quite bright in the bedroom as there is no door to the bedroom to shut it out. With a small baby who needs darkness to sleep well, this light posed quite a challenge

"We loved it so much we booked it again on our way home!"
! Beautiful location and within reach of all the key attractions. The apartment facilities were amazing and the arrival hamper was just perfect. We loved sitting out on the balcony in the mornings and evenings, and it was super convenient to catch the ferry (less than 1 minute away from the front door ) across to Bowness-on-Windermere for a look around the shops or a meal out.

"Property was lovely, settee a bit uncomfortable, location was beautiful but is isolated if ferry isn’t working as was the case while we were there, disappointed we weren’t told this when I rang to see if holiday was still going ahead due to virus as it had been closed for two weeks before we went."

Ferry was handy and definitely able to walk to the pub once across the lake. Fab little Cafe only 2 minute walk from cottage. The cottage itself was perfect and we enjoyed having our Christmas dinner outside on the balcony. Plus the welcome hamper was very appealing!
