"A very clean, comfortable and spacious property in a great setting."
There’s everything you’d need for a family holiday, with a well appointed kitchen and washer / dryer. The rooms are all large, with loads of built in storage and we found the beds comfortable.
Nigel came and introduced himself at the start, and was very welcoming. It was a nice touch to have some of the basics (tea, coffee, bread, washing up liquid and even shower gel) put out for us.
I’d highly recommend a stay here. You’re not right “on” one of the Lakes, but we preferred the quieter setting and everything’s just a short drive away. There’s a lot of footpaths and local walks immediately around the farm, if you’re more active than us.

"The Stable is a lovely, peaceful retreat."
It contains everything you need for a relaxing holiday and Nigel is always on hand if you have any queries or need anything. It's the perfect location for visiting The Lakes or The Dales (and there's an amazing fish and chip shop just down the road)!! This was our third visit and we will definitely book again next year!

"A super clean and well equipped property - a pleasure to stay here."
It had everything we needed to enjoy our week away. Nigel is an extremely genial host and made us feel most welcolme to his farm. An excellent place to stay if you want peace and solitude but easy access to the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales.

"Large, comfy cottage and very useful welcome pack."
Really enjoyed meeting the ponies and cats. Visits to Durham, Raby Castle, High Force and Ullswater were easy and well worth doing. A truly beautiful part of the country and ideal for relaxing and getting away from it all.

"A lovely chintzy property nestled into the countryside."
Close enough to both Penrith and Kendal for those who want some shopping or days out, but far enough away that you hear nothing but the sound of nature.
The owners couldn’t be more accommodating, would recommend to anyone.

"The House was fantastic."
Beautiful surroundings, wonderful people and loads to explore.
I found the multiple messages from yourselves however, patronising and overbearing. I wanted a holiday away from interference which you failed at delivering with your emails and texts. I’d hesitate to use your company again because of this.

It worked well for our party of 5 plus two toddlers, who slept on a mattress we put on the floor. Tip: if you need a hair dryer or more than the bare minimum of toilet paper, bring them with you.

"Lovely cottage in a fairly remote and peaceful location."
The cottage itself is roomy and has everything you need, the owners were friendly and on hand if you had any problems. Although tucked away down a lane it's in a good position to explore the area, various days out are within range. There are a couple of excellent pubs nearby (driving distance!) for good food and a handy sized Coop shop for all shopping needs. Definitely somewhere we would return to in the future.

"Nigel and Christine were very welcoming."
We arrived on a cold dreich day. The fire was lit and the couple ensured that we were settled in before leaving us in peace. If it's a quiet peaceful retreat you're after then look no further. All in all, we liked the place so much that we bought it--only kidding! However, on arrival to Scotland, we rebooked. That I feel sums up our confidence and feelings for the cottage and the couple who run it.

"A very peaceful spot, and lovely welcome by the owners - Mr and Mrs Jackson."
( with a tiny bit of updating it would be PERFECTION - and you can't say that about many places - including home!!)
This is an ideal location with beautiful places to visit in any direction. The community pub, in nearby Crosby Ravensworth has good food and beer and is very welcoming - will probably need to book.
After many weeks of hot sun we had some wet days, but it didn't spoil our holiday. You just need the correct clothes!
We would not hesitate to book The Stables again

"We loved the location as it was quiet and off the beaten track."
Short drives to the various walking points like Glenridding and Pooley Bridge for walks around Ullswater, Buttermere and Haweswater. Eating out in the evening was a problem except for the Chippy about 10 mins drive, and 20 mins to the George & Dragon, an excellent restaurant. The cottage had all the home comforts, a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Both Mr and Mrs Jackson were most welcoming and helpful during our stay. We would love to return to The Stables! Thank you very much to you all at Sykes Cottages.
