  • "Excellent property, amazing views and superb location to walk the fells straight from the door."

    A number of previous online reviews comment on the state of the carpets/flooring, can only assume these have been replaced as all looked brand new.

  • "House badly needs maintenance and thorough deep clean."

    The floorboards are completely gone to deep holes on the main corridor. Dangerous. Mould on walls, especially in the bedroom with ensuite. Plumbing sounds like it could explode. Bedding stained (duvets and pillows). Lots of random old stuff left in kitchen area. And shed. Upstairs double bed so creaky could break at any point. (And it was only a young slim girl sleeping in it) Garden has many loose paving stones on steep steps and unguarded steep stone drops. Very dangerous if older or children. Electric garden gate not working at all despite your arrival instructions. Outside furniture horrendous and bbq had been used as a fire pit with large half burned logs still there. Most of the saucepans and frying pans do not work on the induction hob. House information pack pointless, as out of date. No info re recycling. Torches provided but not working. Sign in lounge said “logs and kindling” but none there. No welcome pack at all, even toilet rolls. I am appalled Sykes gives this a 4 tick rating. However… the house is in an amazing location with superb walking, pubs, shops etc all close from the front door. And the views from the house are magnificent. And a red squirrel in the garden

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you experienced during your stay. We would like to add that had we been made aware of the issues during your stay, we could have attended to try and resolve. As the property is self catering, welcome packs are not always provided.
