“The cottage was lovely and clean, was disappointed with the TV, only had BBC channels and was not able to get on wi fi at all, tried with the password several times but no luck.”

Other than that we had a good time, we was lucky with the weather but had that not been the case and had to stay in would not have been pleased with the TV, I think we should have been able to get the basic channels. Mrs Atkins.

“Lovely cosy cottage, small but perfectly formed.”

Well equipped with everything we needed. Ideal central village location with several lovely walks from the doorstep. Highly recommended.
Mr Connell March 2020

“Wilson's cottage is a delightful traditional cottage, not a remodelled 'boutique' nightmare .”

.. The pictures represent it perfectly. Heating, beds, kitchen, furniture and shower are more than adequate, and it is equipped with everything you'll need for your stay... Even two types of coffee maker! If you're holidaying in the Lakes you must expect rain! Please bring appropriate clothing and go out! There are plenty of walks on your doorstep, including Levens Deer Park, full of deer! ... There are games and cards etc supplied, and a small play area behind the cottage. The nearest shop is in Natland, as stated, a 4 minute car trip. Kendal is 15 mins by car. We will be returning, hopefully in the Autumn, all in all a lovely week...

“I felt that the owners interfered where I would just like to have got on with my holiday choosing to have a gas engineer in during our stay who then forgot his notes so owner had to pop in again.”

Owners rang pretty much everyday which was annoying. Other things to note; the gas fire was difficult to light. The cottage in general was ok, it felt very old, dated and neglected with mid- matched furniture. The property also stated that it had ‘free view’ TV but this did not work, the owner rang mid-way through our stay, again, to ask if it worked. The details also said that there was a ‘selection of dvd’s’ - there were actually 2 inappropriate for children, books dated from the 1970’s - surely it would only cost a few pounds and trip to charity shop to rectify this - because the weather was bad there was not enough to do in the immediate area. It would also be a good idea for details such as postcodes to nearest shops and pubs, these were too far to walk to with children. Taps in the bathroom were also very stiff, my 7yr old daughter couldn’t turn them on at all. The door from the living room to the stairs was difficult to open and close. All in all it was an ok visit, the bad weather we experienced put a stop or spoiled our overall plans, however, the cottage itself did not make it any more enjoyable. I would describe it as an unloved, badly dated cottage in need of some TLC to really make any difference to people truly being able to enjoy their stay. The biscuits and 1pint of milk were a nice touch though!

“We had a nice stay and would use it again in the future if we came back this way”
Mrs Roberts August 2019

“Beautiful cottage, very clean, quiet and comfortable with everything you need.”

Including a good powerful hairdryer and board games for the kids to play of an evening. Would love to visit again in the near future.

“It is a very small kitchen,but we managed.”

Very close to lovely countryside and walks right outside yr door.
Mrs Long July 2019

“Lovely cottage and location with easy access to all routes.”

Thoroughly enjoyable week.
Miss Grierson June 2019

“We weren't told that the buses only ran 3 times a day and finished at 5pm.”

It would have cost a lot of money to come back from town in a taxi in the evening. Once we realised most of our holiday money would go on taxis we cut the holiday short and left on the second day. The cottage was not how it looked on the picture. The red settee was replaced by a two-seater and two old chairs. We couldn't lock the back door properly and couldn't get the internet to work. There were no nearby shops or pubs. Again we would have needed a taxi. On the plus side the cottage was clean and the beds comfortable and the surrounding area stunning. But I definitely would not go back.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you were not aware of bus schedules, this is a country location and if you have any queries of this nature this should be looked into before booking. I appreciate your comments on the furniture this has been replaced with a new settee and new chairs. The back door is something that does need attention but it certainly does lock. With regards to the internet we have never had a problem with this before and if you had contacted us maybe we could have helped you. We have a couple of village pubs which are within half an hour walk from the property. I am really disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay, we are very proud of our property and as you can see from all our other feedback our guests normally have a lovely stay.

“Classic stone cottage, set in a lovely rural, and quiet setting, the main A roads just a few minutes away.”

Owners, Janet and Alan are very pleasant, as were the local residents of the village. Cottage cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended. Usual high standard that we have always enjoyed from Sykes Holidays, highly recommended too. Jeremy and Carole Keen

The property

This characterful, end-terrace stone cottage is situated in the peaceful and attractive village of Sedgwick, surrounded by countryside and near to the historic town of Kendal.

The cottage was formally a worker’s home, for those who were employed at the village’s manor house, and it still retains many period features, such as wooden panelling on the cosy sitting room walls and original latch doors.

Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, a double and a twin, with pleasant views to the village beyond.

There’s also a family bathroom on the first floor, ideal for a long soak in the evening.

Downstairs you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen for preparing those all-important picnics, as well as a cosy sitting room with a dining area and a warming gas fire.

You can also sit outside for a morning coffee at the front of the property, or dine alfresco after your day of exploration.

The location of this attractive cottage enables walking from the door and the Lancaster Canal towpath is just yards away next to the now empty section of the canal.

Sedgwick also has the benefit of a good playing field which is cared for by the village as a whole, which will delight both young and old members of your party.

Close by is the majestic Sizergh Castle, with its fantastic interior, small lake and beautiful gardens, set in rolling parkland and well worth a visit, as is the nearby Levens Hall, known for its world-class topiary.

Kendal is a short drive away, and is often hosting festivals such as Lakes Alive, as well as a weekly market with artisan food stalls.

This town is also surrounded by hills, so why not climb to Kendal Castle’s ruins and take in the views of the Lakeland Fells?

The fabulous and quintessential Lake District town of Windermere is half an hour away, where you can explore the bustling centre with its many cafes and pubs, or enjoy a boat trip to Newby Bridge or Ambleside.

No matter where you decide to discover, return at the end of your day’s activities to the peace and tranquillity of Wilson’s Cottage, the perfect touring base for a family adventure.

About the location

SEDGWICK

Kendal 4.5 miles;

Sedgwick is a small, quiet village approx 4.5 miles south of Kendal. A historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
