“We had a very enjoyable holiday at ...”

We had a very enjoyable holiday at Avocet Cottage. The accommodation was of a high standard well equipped and comfortable. It felt like an home from home. The enclosed garden provided a safe environment for our dog.

We had a very enjoyable holiday at Avocet Cottage. The accommodation was of a high standard well equipped and comfortable. It felt like an home from home. The enclosed garden provided a safe environment for our dog. It is was a short car ride to the facilities of Silverdale and Arnside. Plenty of walks on the doorstep and ideal for 'twitchers' and golfers alike. Thank you to the Owners and Sykes Cottages for providing a first class holiday.

“Avocet Cottage was absolutely ...”

Avocet Cottage was absolutely fantastic. Well-furnished, clean and cosy. And it had everything we could possibly need.

“A modern semi-detached, very well ...”

A modern semi-detached, very well equipped, really close to the best birdwatching in the NW. Very warm too and we really needed that.

“This was a lovely property. It was ...”

This was a lovely property. It was quite a new accommodation and the standard was very high - a lot of thought had gone into the holiday-makers needs and everything was availabe in the kitchen/dining area. It was very cost and being the middle of January we did not have to worry about being cold. We had to come home a day early unfortunately as my husband was unwell but apart from that it was a lovely break. The lovely Victoria who came to take a meter reading kindly showed me how to work the dishwasher. Also when we arrived home my husband realised he had left his electric toothbrush behind and this was posted on to us within days. We would recommend Avocet Cottage and would recommend Sykes cottages as a realiable booking agent.

“1) Garden is not fully enclosed ...”

1) Garden is not fully enclosed 2) Cottage is very noisy - room to room and floor to floor. Floors, doors, cupboards etc all very noisy. Also considerable white noise issues - heating system under two back bedroom windows emits constant noise. Recommendation is to keep windows closed - in such small bedrooms this is neither comfortable nor healthy. Also bathroom fan very noisy and stays on a long time after light switched off. Switch to switch off fan is only accessible for someone over 6ft unless furniture is climbed on by shorter people 3) Kitchen seems fully equipped but then you notice there is not enough cutlery for a party of four to have two meals - hence constant washing which does not fit with eco friendliness of this property. Also there is no cafetiere (why provide ground coffee in the little welcome pack?!), and no tongs - both these are pretty basic items of kitchen equipment. 4) Living room furniture not particularly comfortable. This is probably a matter of taste, but we certainly did not find this furniture comfy and relaxing which is what you look for on holiday

“Amazing, Beautiful, just perfect”

I took my 75 yr old parents, my brother, his dog and my 8 year old daughter, a week of relaxation in a beautiful cottage in Silverdale. Bonus we got to stay in the both cottages, Avocet and Keepers and both amazing decorated beautifully, everything you could need, opposite Silverdale station, beautiful part of the country. Walking distance to Leighton Moss Nature reserve, beautiful walks. We took Mum and Dad back to their honeymoon destination of Morecambe! We were central for The Lakes, Kendal, Keswick, Ambleside and Windermere. We even had a fun day at Blackpool reminiscing of childhood holidays! Staff were fantastic if we had any questions. Got to meet the Owner Victoria with her lovely daughter Olivia. We had an issue with one of our cars, and we should have checked out at 10am, but staff and owner we amazing and very helpful! thank you for the making of some lovely memories. Definitely will come back and definitely will recommend to family and friends.
