“Warm, cosy flat with very comfortable beds and a brilliant shower.”

Good base from which to explore the Lake District and the Cumbrian coast.

“There were a few issues that could have been better - a few of the light fittings did not work or have bulbs that were working.”

A window pane was smashed in the living room, only 1 toilet roll in each bathroom was supplied and the kitchen window blind cord snapped when we put the blind down (poor quality). The TV in the rear bedroom did not work or the remote was broken/no working batteries.

“We arrived at the warehouse and unpacked and were waiting for shopping to be delivered when someone else turned up and said they were booked in.”

To cut a long story short, during a telephone conversation with the owner, the owner claimed to know nothing about our booking and said we needed to move out as the other couple were booked in from the Friday till the Monday then someone else was due Monday to Friday. When I told him we were booked in with sykes he said he'd had problems with sykes before and again said we would have to leave. I showed the other people our booking and when it was made and they left to wait at their car. I finally managed to speak to Anthony at Sykes who said our booking was valid and that he'd ring the owner and to basically stay where we were. After a while Anthony called me back and said no one else would be coming and we could get on with our holiday...definately not the start we needed or expected. The property itself is in a good location for shops and it has good potential, nice pictures of the area, the kitchen is large and the property has a nice shower. The negatives unfortunately outweighed the positives for us. Holes in walls from previous fitments need filling in and painting over, the cushions were stained and smelt of dog, the upstairs toilet brush was disgusting, I went out and bought our own, the oven glove is filthy, the valance on the bed on the left hand side of the landing was covered in dog hair as was one of the bedroom chairs. The boiler cupboard in this room has no door handle and doesn't close properly and a cupboard door above the bedroom door is open and is to high to reach to close. The bedroom on the right has a cracked window pane and the shower tray is slow to drain. On the Thursday my partner had gone to the shop and I thought I heard him come back so I called down the stairs to him, only to find out the owner had let himself in to drop off sheets. There was no attempt to apologise for the start of the week or for letting himself in...we definately won't be back.

“It was dirty bed covers and chairs had hairs there was a bad snell in kitchen made us heave.”

The window in bedroom was cracked blinds were broke lightbulbs broke in living room and bathroom. A snell of fish in downstairs toilet. Fridge was dirty cups had coffee stains in them. It was badly in need of a lick of paint. It really ruined my stay to the town i was born and grew up in.

“Good location.”

Beds comfortable. The property really does need a deep clean to be honest. There was a pair of false eye lashes that some kind sole had picked from their eyes and left on lounge table. I misplaced my car key and had to put my hand down cushions on sofa and it was filthy down there. So the general cleanliness of important things like bedding very good, but would suggest a regular deep clean. The standard of finish is not the best for example holes in walls from previous fittings, laminate flooring terrible job with lots of gaps in, don't walk round in bare feet as I trapped my toe twice in gap at bottom of stairs. So in summary it is nor bad for a pitt stop and location is great for shops and lots of lovely eateries but if you are wanting a great finish then perhaps not for you. (Please note eye lashes not the fault of property this is just a disgusting thing to do but I would of perhaps hoped it would have been picked up in change over.)

“Excellent holiday home in Ulverston.”

Short walk to shops. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The cottage was clean and comfortable.

“The location was great, very handy for the town.”

Parking was difficult though as it was very parked up. People in Ulverston don't seem to pay attention to double yellow lines or "keep clear" written on the road, so we often opened the door to find a car parked right in front of the place with very little space to squeeze through. The house was good, it's aesthetically pleasing, has a great kitchen, lounge and comfortable sofas. Could do with curtains to dampen the noise, it's a very echoey house. We were impressed with the kitchen as I had worried about cooking Christmas dinner in it, but it was very well equipped, I managed to cook Christmas dinner for 7 people without a problem. We slept in the room on the right and found it noisy, with only single pane glass we were often woken in the night by people talking and shouting outside and car doors banging. The bathroom looks very nice but the shower doesn't drain very well, even having a very quick shower and the shower tray was full to the rim of water. We tried to clean the shower drain, but it wasn't blocked, it's the way it's plumbed in.

“Short notice booking, but everything ran very smoothly.”

Lovely and warm in disgusting December weather. Great cafe almost next door for breakfast. Parking mostly paid but close. Very quiet and pleasant location. Very clean and fresh accommodation even though pets allowed. Ulverston is lovely little town. Though note shops not open on sundays.

“This has been the most comfortable away from home stay we have ever been on.”

The house is so beautiful; typical Northern style with modern touches. It’s a stones through from several beautiful walks, pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

“The overall cleanliness of the property was not very good, we felt the need to clean most things before we used them.”

The front door did not seem very robust or secure, overall the facilities were good and the owners reacted very quickly to provide an ironing board that was missing from the property. It is in a good spot for the town centre with paid parking available and was plenty big enough for the two of us.
