“The accommodation was the best that ...”

The accommodation was the best that we have rented in more than twenty years of similar holidays in France and the UK. There was a huge amount of space, excellent facilities, including an extraordinarily well-stocked Games Room, everything modern, high quality and extremely comfortable - a veritable home from home. The location was convenient for the Lake District and there was a very good pub in the village, serving evening meals and Sunday lunches.

“From the very start this Holliday ...”

From the very start this Holliday was a bliss. Syke cottages customer service put us at ease from the booking process. Than even before our arrival the owners made every effort to make sure we would be happy. They went as far as even purchasing a brand new cot and highchair for our baby. On arrival to the cottage we were amazed by it's size and comfort. It was much bigger than ur looked. The games room was a fantastic luxury! The garden is manicured creating a beautiful and relaxed feeling. The village is preety and peaceful. The roads were so quiet and made for a perfect bike riding for the little ones. We loved the sounds of the farm animals all around! Not to mention the scenery from the cottage windows. The owners were happily and readily available for any questions and nothing was ever a bother. Thank you Mrs Howard your kindness added to the niceness of this holiday.

“Beautiful accommodation set within ...”

Beautiful accommodation set within the lovely location of Long Marton just outside Appleby in Westmorland, which was sufficiently sized to comfortably accommodate two families of four. The games room had a full sized pool table which was great for our children and husbands, whilst we relaxed in the well maintained garden.

“Characterful house in a great location”

We had a most enjoyable stay at the Dove Cote in Long Marton. The building itself has been most tastefully decorated and is full of the owner’s antiques, collectibles and artwork. It was warm and cosy all the time even though it was chilly outside. There is a large collection of books/DVD/CDs of all genres to peruse should you have time to kill. The bedrooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms well appointed and everything was scrupulously clean for our stay. Of particular note is the very large games room (complete with full size pool table and x-box games machine) downstairs. This room is ideal for the kids to let off steam on a rainy day or for the adults to enjoy a beer or two after a day out on the fells. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be staying there again.

“Perfect rental! Ideal location for the Lake District and Pennines.”

Great location with the house being at the foot of the Pennines and the Lake District is also just a short drive away. It was very easy to get to from the A66. This is a great family-friendly house with a spacious living room, we especially liked the window seats looking out onto the lovely garden. There's also a large games room downstairs with a pool table and dartboard which provided lots of entertainment on the rainy days of our stay. The accommodation was very clean and had a nice cosy feel to it. The house is situated within a quiet, small village with plenty of amenities close by and even a micro brewery! Already looking forward to our next stay in 2018!

The property

A beautiful barn conversion tucked into the rural village of Long Marton, with peaceful surroundings and an abundance of natural beauty.

Situated over three floors, there is plenty of space to bring the whole family along, so everyone can appreciate the wonderful interior together.

The welcoming entrance hall leads you inside the cottage, where you will feel the essence of warmth that flows throughout.

A beautiful bedroom lies on the first floor, decorated to a lovely standard, joined by a classic shower room where you can start your day of adventure in style.

The second floor is a magnificent escape for some family time, home to a spacious lounge which boasts a collection of comfortable seating, exposed beams to elevate those cooler evenings.

A well-equipped kitchen/diner continues the cosy ambience, with its glimpse of charm and modern twist; ideal for a social evening with your loved ones.

Three bedrooms lie close by, each with their own sense of style, and a delightful bathroom ties this all together for an effective finish.

A key feature of this cottage is the games room resting on the ground floor, perfect for endless hours of entertainment.

If you can steer yourself away from the cottage, enjoy a refreshing drink on the patio area, or better yet, wander into the village for its selection of places to dine and drink.

The town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is just a short journey away with further shops and restaurants to explore.

Head north to the memorable Carlisle for an unforgettable day trip of architecture, and much more.

A fabulous cottage bringing you the best of Long Marton and beyond.
