"Briarcliffe cottage was absolutely fantastic!"
Much larger than we thought, spotlessly clean, comfortable, with so many extras, everything was catered for! So many toilets make things so much better. A pleasant garden to sit out in and lovely positioned in an off the road back lane. We loved it!
Thanks so much

"We all were sleeping peacefully in that evening with my one year old baby the day before we leave the cottage."
Suddenly we heard someone banging the door. My one year old boy woke up and start crying. I went to the door to see who was that . There the owner with blue IKEA bags to tell us to put
bedding in the bag before we leave on the following day. We were so upset.
Simply they could have left outside with note.
Other than that all the others were good.

"This is the nicest property we have ever stayed in."
The owner has adapted it so well so that it has all the features of a hotel (en-suite bedrooms, TVs in bedroom etc.) with all the equipment and comfort of a home from home. Spacious and comfortable for 6 people with no sense of being under each other's feet at all. Separate dining room and outdoor eating area were first class. Kitchen well-equipped, downstairs toilet a bonus. For the price, this was an amazing property.

"I can't think of anything not to like about this property."
It was warm, homely, comfortable, well equipped and more spacious than the pictures indicate. Lindale is a quiet, peaceful little village with one post office (which will be closed by the time you arrive on Saturday and not open again until Monday) and one pub (open Thursday-Sunday). If you like to self cater, the kitchen is well equipped and the separate dining room made us feel like we were eating out! You will need a car - we typically travelled 30 - 60 minutes to go the touristy places around the Lakes, but you can also walk locally and I would definitely recommend nearby Cartmel - very picturesque with some nice places to eat. I would recommend making bookings for any evening meals. We had a nice meal at "The Pheasant" Allithwaite, a short drive away. We went in October, so not warm enough to sit out, but the courtyard garden looked a perfect place to sit. As we went as two couples, it was great that we both had en suites, and an additional family bathroom with bath and a downstairs toilet. Plenty of space in the "garden room" for hanging coats and leaving boots. Thank you to our hosts and Sykes for a great holiday.

"The Barbecue was not clean and not fit for purpose."
out side table and chairs not very comfortable. Kitchen could have been cleaner, especially with the Covid virus situation. Glass chopping board needs binning as it is a health hazard. Sink bowl is too large for the size sink. it was hard to lift out and empty.
recycle bins were full when we arrived. No linen bags to put bedding in when we left.
It is a lovely cottage on the whole but just needs the points raised sorting out.
There is only one pub and its not 3 min walk. it is only open 3 days The lindale inn is no longer there it is now a car garage .
When renting places out you need to let people know what is around and changes. That is a big factor when people are booking.

"The property is as stated, it has many useful gadgets in the house."
2 en-suites, family bathroom and down stairs toilet are great when there are lots of people there., There is enough space that you don't feel on top of each other. There is actually room for 3 small cars on the drive way - you do have to pull in tightly as the parking is against a road leading to a farm. It is in a good location with many great places to visit within an hour.
I felt the beds were small - but I am used to a king size - my feet hung off the end (I'm 5ft 4!). The towel rails get really hot - I nearly scaled myself when I touched my arm against it - be aware if going with small children.
There is also currently a very loud cockerel at the farm up the lane, he started from about 3.30am so wasn't ideal for uninterrupted sleep.
There is a pub 10 minutes up the hill and the local shop has everything you would need. Grange-over-Sands is only 10 minutes away for more local amenities.

"A small hiccup at the start of the trip, as the owners were not expecting us and the key was not in the key safe."
However, this was quickly sorted with a call to the owner.
Cottage is spacious, with 3 double bedrooms (two are ensuite), a bathroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory and cloakroom. Also a small garden and parking for two cars.
Facilities were fine, including WiFi. Dishwasher tablets were supplied so we used that every day, but we didn't have any washing powder so we were not able to use that. Grill and oven could do with a thorough clean.
There is a small post office two minute walk away, stocking basic food stuffs. For bigger shops you can drive to Grange over Sands (10 minutes away) for Tesco Express or Co-op stores.
Cottage is in the southern end of the Lakes, close to the bottom end of Windermere and also not far from Coniston. Bit of a drive to get up to the northern lakes.
It provided a comfortable base for our stay.

Great gastro pub - Royal Oak only 10 min walk away. Cottage is very clean and had everything you could really ask for. Only two issues:-
Wifi was very patchy on occasions and would work for say 15 mins with great speeds but then suddenly crash - just needs sorting and is a common theme in the reviews.
We are used to a 5.5 foot bed and the standard double is just not big enough for us. Plenty of room for a larger bed in the master room though. If these two points could be rectified we would be delighted to return.
