“Just back from two fabulous weeks holiday staying at Nook cottage in September 2020.”

The cottage was perfect for us. A wonderful position in the village with the tea room and pub nearby. We walked everyday on the fells and mostly from the cottage so great to give the driving a break. The well maintained pretty front cottage garden is a great place to unwind with a drink after a hard days fellwalking. From the cottage are some fabulous walks and two weeks would not do the area justice. Upon arrival the landlady had provided a welcome pack of some essentials (and some treats) which was much appreciated. She also provide a £10 voucher for the tea room which was a real bonus. The cottage was clean, warm and very comfortable with everything you needed provided although in our case it was just the two of us staying with our dog. Being attached to the farm was great and getting up to see the Herdwicks and sheepdogs from the kitchen window was a real treat. Whilst the landlady lives next door on the farm she was very friendly and left us to ourselves without disturbance but it was nice to know that help would be at hand if anything needed attention, which it didn't. If you're looking for that genuine Lakeland experience of getting away from it all and becoming absorbed into some of Englands finest scenery and walking territory in a traditional cosy farm cottage then we would highly recommend a stay at Nook cottage. We'd like to express our thanks to the landlady and to Sykes for making this one of the best holiday cottage stays we've had. We definitely intend booking this cottage again. Wonderful. HIGHLY recommended without reservation.

“Truly SPECTACULAR location.”

Plenty of hiking from the door. Perfect size and comfort of the house. The fire was perfect for the couple of downpour days. Wonderful owners next door who welcomed us as checked on us as we left but otherwise we were left to our own devices and enjoyed the escape. The WiFi was very limited- but then we were there to walk not work! Fine for checking weather and messages. Totally recommend this rental property.

Mr Mcnaughton July 2020

“Lovely little cottage, cosy, warm and clean.”

Comfy beds, good kitchen facilities with good sized freezer and coffee machine. A bonus was the hamper left for us, a welcoming sight after a long journey, thank you. Excellent location, very peaceful, walks from the door and views of the mountains. Small garden at the front, great for our dog who was also very comfortable here. Thank you for a wonderful stay, I would highly recommend this cottage.

“The cottage was a perfect get away in the beautiful countryside and we were made to feel most welcome with a lovely hamper .”

Clean, comfortable and felt like a proper home from home and would most definitely recommend.

“This is the 6th time we have stayed at this cottage.”

It’s so cozy and in a position where you can do a lot of walks from the door or jump in the car and walk around Buttermere, Derwent Water, Cat Bells, Watendlathe, Winlatter Forest and so many more great walks. One of the best walks is 200 meters to the Walkers bar at the Scaffell Hotel in the village for great food, wine and beer. Can’t believe we just spent a week there with no rain and very little wind!

“Private cottage on a working farm.”

Although you can hear the sounds you would expect from a working farm we were left to our own trip and not interrupted. Anything you can think of is supplied, hair dryer, games, wifi, hot water bottles even! Welcome basket was perfect, eggs, bacon, milk, tea coffee and goodies. Clean, tidy and plenty of room. Nothing near by but that was fine for us. Keswick is only a 15 min drive. Bathroom was a little tired and it’s a big place to heat in winter but we took blankets and had the open fire going which was lovely. Full fridge and separate freezer which is good if you are taking frozen goods. Just want we needed to switch off for a few days.

“Fantastic location, old World charm, all the facilities you should need, the welcome gifts were over and beyond anything we have recieived on any of our other stays.”

“Home from home”

Gorgeous cottage, good size bedrooms, very welcoming. Perfect location for walking, good that it accepts dogs as we took two. Lovely little garden out the front with a large supply of coal and a starter log pack. Lovely hamper upon arrival full of treats and fresh milk in the fridge. Tight getting the 2 cars in, but just enough room.

“A lovely cottage”

They had thought of everything and we really enjoyed the bacon for our breakfast the first morning. Brilliant location and even better that dogs are allowed. A perfect walking holiday.

“A Walker's Haven”

A comfortable, well equipped cottage, with plenty of space, but the most important thing is the location. If you are a walker it simply doesn't get any better. Great circular walks from the door, and the reasonably frequent bus services mean linear expeditions over to Langdale, Thirlmere, Lorton, or Whinlatter are all possible. The cottage has an enclosed garden, which is unusual in the lakes, but really useful if you have dogs.
