Mrs Ilott
October 2020

“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 ...

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.

Mrs Sills October 2020

“Very clean and we had a wonderful week”

- Mrs Sills, October 2020
Mrs Wainwright September 2020

“This is a beautifully clean, extremely well equipped and most comfortable cottage.”

To be on Morecambe Bay with easy access to all the South Lakes has to offer makes a wonderful holiday, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

- Mrs Wainwright, September 2020
Mr Mcdermott-roe September 2020

“We really enjoyed the cottage.”

Come prepared to self cater as there is now only one pub open Thurs to Sat. There is a brilliant butchers and take away sin Grange over Sands. We will be coming back here as it is a great base for exploring the Windermere area. The Cottage is great with a very comfortable lounge, large kitchen and nice patio area.

- Mr Mcdermott-roe, September 2020
Mr Murray August 2020

“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.

- Mr Murray, August 2020
Mrs Davis August 2020

“This is a perfect property for a family (3 generation) holiday - plenty of space, great facilities, nice bedrooms, 2 with en suite, well equipped house with all that you need.”

Lovely outdoor space too. Property owner was really responsive when we had a query too - thank you!

- Mrs Davis, August 2020
Mrs Williams July 2020

“Lovely house, very comfortable home from home.”

We all enjoyed our stay very much, beautiful area and very peaceful. Property has everything you need and more. Very nice owners and on hand should you need anything. Great area of the Lake District and an excellent base for visiting other places such as Windermere and Morecombe. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Williams, July 2020
Mrs Evans July 2020

“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.

- Mrs Evans, July 2020
Mr Moloney December 2019

“Everything was great even had Christmas tree and decorations.”

. A perfect base for a holiday.

- Mr Moloney, December 2019
Mrs Pilson September 2019

Lovely size and really comfortable. The location was just right, with everything we wanted to visit no more than half an hour away. Very peaceful and relaxing with such beautiful scenery.

- Mrs Pilson, September 2019
Mr Broderick September 2019

“Lovely cottage in great location.”

All the facilities you would want in a holiday home.

- Mr Broderick, September 2019
Mr Lane August 2019

“We (6 adults) had a fantastic few days here - a beautiful cottage, extremely comfortable and well equipped.”

It really felt like a home from home. Lindale is a lovely little village, providing easy access to the coast and Lakes; a perfect location. We couldn’t have asked for more.

- Mr Lane, August 2019
Mr Whittingham July 2019

Mr Henderson September 2018

So would recommend this cottage

- Mr Henderson, September 2018
Mr Shah September 2018

“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.

- Mr Shah, September 2018
Mr Thompson August 2018

“A lovely cottage with plenty of room and good facilities.”

A great location less than 10 mins to Windemere in one direction and the coast at Grange in the other.

- Mr Thompson, August 2018

- Mr Grey, June 2018

Mr Robertshaw March 2018

“Wi-fi problem XXXX Owner Response XXXX The fault with the WiFi has now been rectified.”

- Mr Robertshaw, March 2018

Sykes owner relations
Mr Owen February 2018

“The cottage was lovely and set in the small village of Lindale.”

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.

- Mr Owen, February 2018
Mrs Watson July 2017

“A fantastic cottage.”

Felt like we were at home. Children didn't want to leave. Thank you again.

- Mrs Watson, July 2017
Ms Kaur November 2016

“It's was not clear that the open fire had a starter pack and would have to be maintained by the visitors.”

It's not ideall since for us were not familiar with the surroundings and did not know we're to get the logs/coals from so that was not good! Plus it requires a car.

- Ms Kaur, November 2016
Mrs Hunt August 2016

“It was a great holiday the WiFi was disappointing and tv didn't work for the first two days but the house was lovely”

- Mrs Hunt, August 2016
Mrs Clark August 2016

“Very good with accommodation as required.”

Only drawback was the Lindale itself does not have shops so a car is required.

- Mrs Clark, August 2016
Mr MacKenzie June 2016

Its situated in Lindale which is a pleasant village with everything you need near by. The house had been decorated and and furnished to a high standard with an en suite for the 2 main bedrooms which we found very useful. We had everything we needed in the property. If returning to this area would use the property again and will certainly recommend it to others.

- Mr Dyer, May 2015

“Great Location”

Briarcliffe Cottage is located in the village of Lindale just off the A590, It's a great location for visiting the many attractions of the Southern Lake District. The cottage is beautifully presented, with three well sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, leaving the main bathroom as a private bathroom for bedroom three. Downstairs the lounge, dining room and kitchen are well equipped. With an attached sun room accessed from the rear there is plenty of room to leave footwear and wet clothing, not something we needed as we had fine weather.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
Mr Stockdale May 2014

“The location for the South Lake District was good, with easy access to the A590 which runs along the whole length of the southern part.”

We particularly liked the fact that the property had a bathroom for each bedroom with two en-suites and a main bathroom for a three bedroomed property.

- Mr Stockdale, May 2014
Mr Goodman August 2013

“A very pleasing location in the village of Lindale.”

The village shop was convenient and the two pubs easily accessed. The children's playground provided a useful diversion on occasions. The house was delightful.

- Mr Goodman, August 2013
Mrs Burgess July 2013

“Briarcliffe is a lovely and very comfortable house with everything needed for a great self catering holiday.”

The fittings and furnishings are of a high standard. It is very clean and easily managed, and the garden is lovely for sitting in in the evenings, with barbecue, large table etc. It is in a small friendly village with a shop about 100 yards away and two pubs close by, good for eating out.

Mr Walters August 2010

“Briarcliffe cottage is absolutely beautiful.”

It is big and spacious with a lovely garden, ideal for sitting out at night with the chiminea blazing. It's an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of the country. All the facilities in the cottage are good. The open fire was great, we lit it a few times for a bit of ambiance. All in all I would thoroughly recommend the cottage if you want somewhere to come back to after a day out exploring the Lake District and to relax with a glass of wine or three.

- Mr Walters, August 2010

“Fantastic”

We thought the house was very spacious and the facilities were of a very high standard. All the rooms were of a high standard. The kitchen was wel equipped and there were plenty of crockery etc. The house was very warm and although we were looking forward to lighting the open fire we did not need to. If we wanted to stay in this area again we would certain hope that this property was available.

“The lindale experience”

Excellent service from both Sykes and the owner. Cottage decorated and furnished to high standard, beautiful throughout. Ideal location for walking and handy for touring the Lake District. Couple of nice eating pubs and a shop on the doorstep.

Chris Bostock December 2009

“Excellent accommodation”

The property is furnished to a high standard, in fact we could not find fault in anything, everything was there that we needed. In a quiet village close to an excellent public house serving good food and nicely located for visiting the Lake District.

- Chris Bostock, December 2009
A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2009

“Quality Counts”

Having arrived at the cottage in LINDALE rather earlier than the allocated time, we were met by a young lady who had just finished cleaning it.She was absolutely brilliant and told us everything we wanted to know about the cottage and surrounding area. This is definately the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It is very big and spacious, and finished to a very high specification, situated in a great location for exploring the South Lakes area. There are two pubs nearby, but I wouldnt recommend the bottom one for eating. The one at the top of the hill is far better and has a lovely beer garden if the weather is nice.Be aware, however, that the shop / post office isn't open all day so bring enough supplies for the first couple of days. The supermarkets and shops in Grange-Over-Sands, which is a short drive away ,are well stocked for everything needed during a stay at the cottage. There is nothing negative that I could say about this cottage. It is the best we have ever stayed in and I doubt we will find one as good anywhere in the uk

“Couldn't have been more enjoyable!”

The property was of very high standard and as this was the first time we've stayed in a holiday cottage we've been totally spoiled. The decor was excellent and there was such a homely feel from the moment we stepped in. There was so much space in every room and we had plenty of room that the two families that stayed there didn't get under one anothers feet (4 adults, 2 four year olds and a 6 month old). The cottage was ideally located, close to many places to visit and Lindale itself was very quaint and quiet. Couldn't fault the property at all - excellent.

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

“Perfect.”

Our time spent in the Lake District was Ace. Everything about our goliday there was great,the cottage was everything we wished for and more,would highly recommend it. Good base to stay, as there is so much to see and do around the area. Lindale is a nice little village, with a good pub at top of the hill, good food served,with nice friendly staff. Grange-Over-Sands which is a ten minute drive away, is a small town with excellent shops ,and eating places. Not to be missed,as it has lots of features from the Edwardian times. We shall go back thats for sure,as it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wide open spaces that the Lakes have to offer.Just beautiful.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2009
Mr Squirrell October 2009

- Mr Wentworth-wood, May 2009
Mr Lewis March 2009

“We loved the cottage, the standard of decor and refurbishment was 1st class.”

The beds were very comfortable , which is not always the case when on holiday .The cottage was well positioned in the village , close to a shop and the pubs, as well as having great walks on the doorstep. The area is glorious , so the combination of all these things made for a wonderful break.

- Ms Coates, June 2007
Mrs Gleave May 2007

“The property was stunning - a real show home.”

Done to a fantastic standard and great value for money. It felt like a boutique hotel rather than a holiday cottage. Fantastic!

- Mrs Gleave, May 2007
Mrs Germaine-cox April 2007

“It was a wonderful cottage.”

I could not fault it. Considering it was a last minute booking I could not believe the standard of the cottage. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful too. Plenty of space for the children. It is worth mentioning that there is a children's recreation ground within 7 minutes walk , there are also TVs in each bedroom, which was a nice surprise, especially for the children. The Local Pub within 2 mins walk served lovely food and was very welcoming. It is a good base to tour the Lake District and we will definitely return to the cottage.

The property

A fabulous, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, quietly nestling in the traditional Lakeland village of Lindale, on the scenic and largely undiscovered Lakeland Peninsula.

Lovingly renovated in 2007 to provide a superb blend of original character with contemporary style, Briarcliffe Cottage is spacious and stylish throughout, boasting an open fire, two lavish en-suite bathrooms with underfloor heating and a charming summer room leading to an attractive courtyard garden.

There are many pleasant walks from the doorstep, whilst Lindale's quaint, narrow streets are home to traditional dwellings, a shop and welcoming old pubs.

Cartmel, the coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange-over-Sands and mystical Lake Windermere are all well worth a visit.

An idyllic holiday retreat.

About the location

LINDALE

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Cartmel 3.6 miles; Windermere 12 miles.

Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. The Lake District has so much to offer, there is sailing on Windermere, cycling in The Grizedale Forest, Go Ape Treetop adventures, Birdwatching at Leighton Moss and The Foulshaw Osprey Experience. There are also stately homes at Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle and a heritage steam railway which runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is also a short journey away. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk away.
