"Lovely warm property would definitely recommend with only one small detail which could be better for dog owners- the front garden leads around the side of the house to the back & also through to next door garden."
The rear access to the house over to the separate gated garden is not secure. The upstairs bedrooms are excellent all being spacious & en suite.

"Great property with all the facilities you would need."
The beds were really comfortable and the house stayed warm once the heating was on and super cosy with the fire in use. Thank you for a really relaxing stay. Would recommend to others.

"A lovely old farmhouse in a great location, and ideal for a larger party with dogs."
Comfort & facilities overall very good, however the place is looking a little tired, requiring some TLC — sticking doors, gaps in the wall by plugs, etc. We would also like to have seen a starter pack of logs & kindling, and some more cleaning products (eg, soap) in the bathrooms — we had to go and buy these on our 1st full day.
Having said all that, we did consider it good value for the price paid
Thanks

There are a few niggles that need to be sorted. Ie.. the remote controls not working properly, some light bulbs out etc.
Overall though excellent as a peaceful place to stay and explore the area.

"It would be good if the front gardens of Roans Farm and the next door property could be kept separate as their dog regularly visited our bit of garden and we had to clean up after it!"
! Generally, we loved the property and the reality was better than the photos we saw before, especially the sitting room. If it was our property we’d re-design the kitchen as we found the breakfast area very impractical and impossible for all of us to fit in. It could be put to better use, we felt. The back garden was great and the children loved watching the tractors come and go! We also loved the peace and quiet of the location! We had a most enjoyable week.

"We had a wonderful holiday."
We met up with family whom we had n’t seen since January and enjoyed a very special week together. The cottage had a lovely feel to it and was spacious and airy for the 4 of us and our 2 dogs. We loved the view of fields, the sound of the owls and sheep at night and the little garden where the dogs romped happily together. There are some good walks nearby in this area of unspoilt countryside and good pubs. The place was spotlessly clean...reassuring during these times and essential. Shops are not nearby. We picked up provisions in Kendal before arriving and were glad we didn’t forget anything as not much is provided in the cottage in the way of teabags etc....probably due to restrictions. There were no fire irons and so we couldn’t clean the wood stove between fires and it is a practical place rather than luxurious. Hey, I’m scratching about for criticisms here. We found beds really comfortable, the wood stove made our evenings cosy and the little garden made the dogs holiday. The booking process was made special by the friendly service of Sykes. I wish I could remember who I spoke to to thank them for being so helpful and we hope to come back to this very special place when we can.

"Unfortunately the day after arriving the electric went off, housekeeper responded promptly and said she had had similar problems the previous day."
We had filled fridge and freezer as per accomodation recommendations. But were left with a choice no lights or no freezer fridge and dishwasher.
Electrician attended on the Sunday but could not repair till the day we left. My husband managed to get fridge back on as he worked out it was dishwasher that was problem so thankfully food not wasted. We had shopped for 7 people for a week. Otherwise house location great, and Celia could not have been friendlier.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are very sorry there was an issue with fridge/freezer and dishwasher during your stay, unfortunately there had been damage caused by a previous guest. We have now ordered new dishwasher. Property Owner

"The cottage was extremely well appointed, clean and spacious."
It provided all we needed for a relaxing break with our grandchildren. The gardens were well tended and very child friendly.
However, we arrived to find that the television did not work as the cabling was in a mess and the remote controls only worked spasmodically (not great when rain is forecast with 3 children under 5).
The utility/boot room was also difficult to access as the latch was a cobbled together affair consisting of two nails. A new gate latch could be fitted very cheaply and save a lot of fiddling about.
One of the electrical circuits tripped leaving us without fridge, freezer, some lighting and wi fi. (By a process of elimination we were able to get power back by turning off the switch above the dishwasher).
All in all it’s a good job that we are reasonably technically minded or our holiday in this lovely cottage would have been a disaster.

"We had a great holiday."
The cottage is lovely and we all had an en suite which was an absolute bonus. The only downside is that there are no dog walks from the house (you can take them down the lane in the lead, but you can’t let them off) however Acorn Bank (NationalTrust property) is only 15 mins drive away and that is a great place to walk your dog, or lakes are half an hour. The kitchen has a range master which was excellent for Sunday roast and the beds are extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property and we will hopefully be going again.

"The cottage is well equipped, spacious and comfortable in a beautiful, rural location and is warm and cozy particularly when you get the log burning stove lit!"
The photos don't do it justice e.g. the lounge is big with a corner sofa that is not shown in the photo. We were lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outside in the sunny garden. It is an ideal place to stay to get away from the crowds yet be 30 mins from the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines. We were met with a warm welcome from the owners and had a great home cooked meal at The New Inn in the village of Hoff!

It would be particularly alarming for young children
We did mention this to the owner who said it was what was done in the area to show how many had been caught
However we saw no other farm displaying dead smimals in this way
It was cruel and not suitable for someone renting a holiday property
It upset me and my family deeply seeing moles in various states of decay !"

"Had an amazing stay, the house was so much nicer than expecting and was really comfortable and a great place to stay."
We used it as a base to climb scafell pike and it was amazing. The views from the bedrooms and the house were awesome, great location. House was tidy and warm when we arrived and details on how to get into the house were easy enough to follow. We struggled slightly to find the house as the satnav took us into the farm just before it but it only took us a minute to realise we were in the wrong place and we were maybe 2 doors down so no problem at all!
Great stay and will probably be back :)
