“As usual we had a fabulous week at Nook Cottage, (this was our 5th December holiday here).”

It is a beautiful cosy cottage, perfect for winter holidays. Carole exceeds expectations in providing a welcoming home, decorated for Christmas with a generous welcome hamper for us to enjoy. We look forward to returning next year.

Mr Rochester September 2020

“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.

Mrs Rawnson July 2020

“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.

- Mrs Rawnson, July 2020
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.

- Mr Mcnaughton, July 2020
Mrs Laybourn March 2020

- Mrs Kinsella, February 2020
Mrs Atkin January 2020

“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!

- Mrs Atkin, January 2020
Mr Summers December 2019

The overnight snow made it even more magical.

Miss Nichols November 2019

- Miss Nichols, November 2019
Mrs Mcnaught November 2019

“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.

- Mrs Mcnaught, November 2019
Mr Burn-murdoch October 2019

“Very cosy cottage, with open fire pre laid for our arrival.”

Spectacular walks available from the front door.

- Mr Burn-murdoch, October 2019
Mr Linley September 2019

“The cottage was fabulous, all the beds were comfy, as were the sofas, perfect after a long walk on the fells.”

Everything you could need was provided in the kitchen. The village was peaceful and there were great walks in all directions.

- Mr Linley, September 2019
Mrs Smith May 2019

“The cottage is situated just down the road from my family.”

Was perfect location. The proprietors couldn’t do enough for us it was excellent. Every need was catered for.

- Mrs Smith, May 2019
Mrs Lloyd-jones April 2019

“A comfortable well kitted out cottage in an incredible location.”

Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Amazing welcome hamper and fruit bowl- thank you. Good size for 4. Wifi is very intermittent as the router is next door. Apart from that everything else was perfect.

- Mrs Lloyd-jones, April 2019
Mrs Atkin January 2019

“Lovely cottage within walking distance of local hotel and walkers bar with excellent food.”

Lots of walks from the door. Cosy and warm. Ideal for relaxing

Mrs Owen December 2018

“Nook Cottage is very warm and cosy at this time of the year and was beautifully decorated for Christmas.”

As usual Carol provided a generous welcome pack. We had a lovely week and will return next year!

- Mrs Owen, December 2018
Mr Mckenzie December 2018

“The welcome basket including snacks, biscuits, tea and coffee, bacon, eggs and milk was a lovely touch.”

The cottage was prepared for our arrival including the lights and open fire too add a cozy feel to our arrival. Location is perfect short walking distance to the pub and various walk and bike walkways. Parking is difficult one car can park in Nook farm. The coffee machine was an added extra we took advantage of too. Plenty of white fluffy towels in each bedroom and a great size cottage for a family of 4. The bathroom is small and does require some updating but is in keeping of the age and type of property it is.

- Mr Mckenzie, December 2018
Mrs Wiper October 2018

“The cottage is very clean and cosy.”

The welcome pack is very good. I do however think it is a little over priced for the time of the year.

- Mrs Wiper, October 2018
Miss Scott July 2018

“Beautiful cottage located in a gorgeous village, perfect for walks.”

Fantastic bus service into Keswick and good taxi services in the area. The cottage was well equipped and we was greeted with a lovely little welcome hamper on arrival, a nice touch. Would love to come back again.

- Miss Scott, July 2018
Mrs Watson July 2018

“The cottage was great and the welcome hamper a brilliant unexpected and generous surprise.”

We had a pretty wet week and a tumble dryer would have been extremely useful. Also for 6 people a second loo would have been handy!! Garden was and good and secure for our puppy. The kitchen door would be great if half of it opened so that the farm dogs can’t get in!! There was adequate bike storage but not strictly ‘secure’. Good holiday though in an amazing area.

- Mrs Watson, July 2018
Mrs Robertson July 2018

“Had a great holiday at Nook cottage.”

The kids loved the sheep out the back door.

- Mrs Robertson, July 2018
Mrs Marsland May 2018

“The welcome pack was much appreciated and the owners living next door were very helpful and friendly.”

The location was excellent and it was also a wonderful experience to stay on a working farm, especially one where a new born calf arrived during our stay. My only negative comments are that it needed more equipment in the kitchen to cater for 6 people and overall it was a little small for cooking for this number.

- Mrs Marsland, May 2018
Miss Shelley March 2018

“We loved the welcome basket at the cottage.”

What a lovely added extra. The log fire was very cosy and it was such a lovely welcome to the home. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Wright, November 2017
Miss Fox July 2017

“The cottage was well equipped and was in a lovely spot.”

The garden was enclosed which made it safe and easy for my 2 dogs. The welcome pack from the owners was a lovely touch and start to the holiday.

- Miss Fox, July 2017
Mrs Corder March 2017

“Welcome pack of food much appreciated - a nice touch!”

We couldn't open the back door as none of the keys seemed to fit - should really be accessible as an extra exit in case of fire.

- Mrs Corder, March 2017
Mrs Ivens February 2017

Mrs Scotcher October 2016

“It does always take evening after evening of searching all over the internet to get the right house/cottage in the right location for the right price.”

Location is usually most important so being able to easily use a map when booking is great. Once search over booking was very easy with you and had no problems at all. Booking was as it should be. Loved this cottage. Owner very friendly and nice - she/the cottage exceeded expectations as left large fruit bowl, lit fire for our arrival - welcome hamper = little extras weren't expecting made it great when we arrived.

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.

An ideal base for walking from. The cottage itself was splendid - like a home from home - very comfortable, warm and cosy. It was very well equipped.

A FlipKey verified reviewer July 2013

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, July 2013
Mr Brady June 2013

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful area with fantastic walks straight from the door.”

On arrival we found an amazing array of welcoming goodies provided by the owner, Mrs Jackson who was very friendly. All in all this was one of the very best cottage holidays we have had.
