Lake View

Really lovely cottage and great position.

Plenty of space for our big family and well-equipped in terms of amenities with lots of cupboard and storage space. The owners were very attentive when we noticed a couple of very small things that we needed help with. Sykes customer service was very slow, impossible to get hold of someone to change the name on my account and definitely needs improving. Would be helpful to provide a couple more bin bags and a couple more non-stick pans.

In general, I don't understand why not everyone has given this a five star!

It is a truly fabulous property and I don't think the photographs in the listing do it justice. The views of Ullswater from the property are amazing! It is right behind a lovely pub/inn that serves great food. It is within 30-40 mins (driving distance) from some lovely places such as Grasmere, Kirkstone Pass, Windermere and Aira Force is just 7-8 mins away. The facilities are top notch. I was initially concerned reading some older reviews of it being a tired property and lots of flies! It wasn't tired at all. We did have a few minor maintenance issues but when we contacted the number provided, a handyman was there within an hour to sort it all out. Didn't see a single fly!! It was great and we will definitely be back again - the kids are asking me to book right now! We all loved it!

This property was perfect.

Great location for walking with and without a car and also for the steamer which was well worth using to get to certain locations. Very well equipped for a group that enjoyed lots of self catering. Able to make use of the outside space as the weather so lovely One thought is whilst we always closed the gates when we were out for security we soon realised it might be more about stopping stray cows coming in on their way with the farmer. We watched a farmer close them on our behalf!

The property was great and entirely lived up to expectations.

It was very comfortable and beautifully clean, well equipped and the views superb.

It’s a great house with lots of lovely features however it’s generally getting a bit tired with cracked and loose tiles in multiple areas (which I think is a safety issue with sharp edges on the floor).

Kitchen equipment lacking a few essentials (small fry pan, bread knife). No music speakers that I could find.

We have just arrived home after 3 nights in this wonderful house, I personally holiday frequently in the lakes, usually in a caravan with the kids in tow!

This was for a special occasion shared with friends so to find this house was perfect, the location is absolutely second to none with views out of most windows of the Lake, we were paddleboarding on Ullswater Saturday morning, having dinner in the restaurant at Another Place just down the road, Alpaca trekking around Derwent water and having Sunday lunch at the Ullswater Inn in Glenridding. The house itself had huge amounts of space, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, the beds and bedding were the most comfiest and luxurious I’ve ever slept on! The kitchen is a huge WOW with everything you could possible need for a relaxing weekend away. I could honestly type for ages about how much of a lovely stay we had, thank you so much. We cannot wait to stay again and I’ll be telling all my friends and family about it.

Lovely, very comfortable property with such a beautiful view over the lake and mountains.

Julia (the owner) was extremely accommodating and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property. Thank you for such a wonderful weekend, it made my husbands 50th birthday celebration perfect!

Beautiful location.

Amazing and spacious property. Beds very comfortable. BUT thick dust on top of bedroom shelving/wardrobes. Which were used to store our things. Upstairs ensuite toilet lid, loose and needs replacing. Downstairs bathroom Toilet bowl is loose and wobbles. Downstairs ensuite very strong damp aroma. We had 4 couples and requested all beds be made up as doubles, but twin bedrooms were left as twins. We didn't report this, as didn't want to take the gloss off our holiday. But maybe for the next guests , more attention to detail would be good.

Lovely property.

Shame about the flies. Wasn't able to prepare/cook food due to the flies. Decided to leave the property after 3 days and return home. Not what you expect from a property costing this much. This was supposed to be a treat holiday as we don't normally spend this amount on accommodation. Very disappointing.

A lovely comfortable property with a magnificent view, from the house, of Ullswater and the fells beyond.

There’s plenty of internal space - ideal for two families sharing, since there are two bedroom ‘wings’ on either side of a large kitchen/sitting room/dining room plus another spacious and very comfortable sitting/ television room. Highly recommended.

Absolutely 5 star experience.

The cottage is beautiful with everything needed for a perfect stay. More than enough bathrooms. Everything was quality. Views of the lake and mountains from the snug were breathtaking. Aura Force waterfall is a beautiful walk 15 minutes away and Pooley bridge is 10 minutes the other way. I would highly recommend this property!

Most comfortable and well equipped holiday rental we have stayed in.

Great location and lovely views of the lake. The house would benefit from a room to leave (and dry) muddy boots and wet outdoor clothing.

The holiday was booked for 4 of us.

But unfortunately 1 of our group was ill and unable to join us. However we loved the house, truly luxurious in all the rooms. Beautiful views over Ullswater Lake. Everything had been thought of, from the comfortable sitting room to the massive kitchen, dining room with sofas. The bedrooms were very comfortable and we all slept well. The only noise was the gentle Baa’s from the sheep! We were out and about every day. Highlights were the afternoon on the Ullswater Steamer, very relaxing. Ambleside was a lovely town to go and visit. We so hope to meet up at the house again, great place to make lovely memories!

Great location with amazing views.

Very convenient for reaching other parts of the northern Lake District. Brackenrigg Inn very handy for evening meals/drinks.

We had an amazing time for Mother in Laws 80th birthday weekend, everything we needed.

Even in the middle of storm Ciara!! Only suggestion would be the directions, it is very easy to find if you publish that it is behind the Brackenrigg Pub. We spent an hour driving round on the first night x

The property was exceptional- everything had been thought of and we had a wonderful week.

Amazing cottage, with beautiful views over Ullswater.

Clean, with lovely modern cosy decor and equipped with everything you could think of for a perfect family holiday. Great base to explore the Lakes. We'd love to return :)

The villa was of a very high standard and met our expectations amply; really lovely setting actually.

I hadn't fully appreciated that there would be a fine view of Ullswater from the garden and upstairs bedroom. The kitchen/living area was spacious and the lounge a very comfortable space. It was clean and tidy upon arrival, and all the amenities worked fine. It really suited us to stay here for a week as an extended family; many thanks and congratulations to the owner!

Lake view is a perfect rental.

Excellent location and really well equipped. It was a perfect setting for our four generations get together because of the two bedrooms downstairs. Four bathrooms are a great idea. Cosy and comfortable and very well prepared. I left a coat in the cottage cloak cupboard and Sykes contacted me to arrange its return. I was very impressed. I was also impressed with the Sykes booking process.

A beautiful property!

A group of 8 of us had an amazing weekend. I would highly recommend it.

This is a very beautiful house with fantastic views from the kitchen, dining area and lounge across to the lake and mountains.

The modern design and facilities are like something from 'Ideal Home' yet we immediately felt comfortable and relaxed. It is furnished to the highest standards. We loved the big live-in kitchen and the separate lounge. Great bathrooms and showers. Few very minor suggestions such as a BBQ and some partial screening for the outside table from the road. The location is great especially if you like to be away from the crowds. Views are fantastic. The pub almost next door is handy with fun pub quiz yet doesn't impact in terms of noise at all. In terms of value for money, the price we paid was just right. A great holiday. Would definitely consider staying again.

Plenty of flies around as in a farming state .
