"Lovely comfortable property."

Great pub almost next door. Would happily stay here again. Only negatives: Leaky kitchen tap Downstairs toilet would improve the facilities. Also, description mentions 1 bedroom is en-suite which is slightly misleading as the bedroom has a shower but no toilet.

"We really enjoyed our stay here as 6 adults and a puppy."

There was plenty of space for all of us with the house and the outdoor space at the back was great for letting our pup out. The pub down the road is an excellent place to eat and the area is lovely and quiet so a nice place for a relax. The house was very clean and has all the amenities required for a stay such as dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer etc. Most places were within a 15-20 minute drive away that we went to so if you don't mind making the drive then this would be a fine place to stay!

The cottage is beautiful very spacious. extremely comfortable .The kitchen is very well equipped .The cottage is cosy and we loved Lighting the fire in the evenings . The beds were so comfortable .Fantastic nights sleep had by all. We took our small dog with us point to note Dogs need to be supervised in the garden as gaps in the gate leading to the stream our small dog managed to get through the gate . Luckily she came straight back when called . We had a family ranging from 78 down to 2 . We all loved the cottage and will definitely return . We had a problem with the heating and we contacted the owner who managed to get it sorted as soon as possible. The cottage is in a lovely location Ideal to relax. we managed to explore the local area. Pub needs to be booked as even in January it was full. We had a meal in the wheatsheaf pub 5 minute drive away fantastic food. We enjoyed playing some of the many games that where provided in the cottage . Cant wait to return again soon .

"This was our 3rd Christmas at Ellerbeck, and once again we had a truly wonderful stay!"

(Even though sadly, our French contingent couldn't join us, owing to the new restrictions). The cottage is so comfortable and cosy, always nicely decorated, and the layout, with two living rooms, suits larger, multi-generational groups perfectly. We absolutely love it there, and always have the best Christmasses! One thing I would mention though, which did impact on our stay a bit - the thermostatic valves on the radiators don't work, so the radiators have to be either off, or on full blast (almost too hot too touch). The house is therefore either cold, or far too hot. Thank you for your most warm welcome - the bottles of wine, chocolates and biscuits were greatly appreciated!

"Excellent location with easy access to Kendal and the South Lakes."

We particularly enjoyed the 3 different public spaces which worked really well for 4 adults and 3 children (3 generations). Outdoor space with an abundance of wildlife also enjoyed. The kitchen and utility room were well equipped. Points for other customers to note. No downstairs toilet which for young children (2-7) wasn’t ideal. Also, hallway/front door and passage from kitchen to utility to lounge were very congested at times. Overall, a very good property and we had a great time.

"The only reason I have marked the comfort down is because the week we stayed was incredibly hot."

The cottage retains the heat and very difficult to get away from. Fans would have been much appreciated.

"Fabulous cottage in a peaceful location."

The space in the cottage was wonderful for our family group and little dog. Perhaps, would have been good to include a downstairs WC, due to the size of the house and add some slats or chicken wire to the fence at the stream to prevent runaway pets. All in all could not recommend the property highly enough. Well done to the owner and Sykes.

"The cottage and location are brilliant."

The only comment is that if we’d known there was no washing airier & pegs ( maybe due to covid), we could have brought something.

"Spacious holiday cottage in a beautiful setting, overlooking fields and next to a stream which the dogs loved."

The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. Lots of local walks and a handy pub 2 min away with great food. (Book ahead for evening meals to guarantee a table) We were so lucky to have a week of fantastic weather so enjoyed breakfast on the patio every morning and in the evenings watched a couple of young owls on the roof at sunset. This was our first visit to the south lakes, it may not be as dramatic scenery as the north but it is really beautiful and the cottage was the perfect base to explore.

"A lovely cottage in a peaceful location."

It needs a little bit of freshening up in places. It would also benefit from a washing line to avoid people having to use the tumble dryer and using extra electricity. During our stay the microwave broke, which didn’t cause a massive issue but we notified Sykes cottages immediately but didn’t hear anything from them. I do find it disappointing that a cottage is advertised as dog friendly and then on arrival you are told they have to stay downstairs, if this is the case it should be made clear before booking. It is either dog friendly or it isn’t. Had a lovely week and really enjoyed our stay

"Lovely holiday home in a quiet location, Ideal for cyclists, walkers or anyone just wanting to relax."

The facilities were well equipped and there was plenty of room inside and in the garden. After the year we've all just had, it was just what we needed to recharge and forget about the pandemic for the week. Can't recommend highly enough. With respect to the pandemic, we received fantastic support and guidance from Sykes Cottages.

"Wow! such a lovely cottage, which far surpassed our expectations."

It had everything you could possibly need for a family of eight, plus our puppy. It had beautiful gardens, and several patios, with plenty of garden furniture so we could eat 'al fresco'. It had everything you needed for a family of eight. Although quite isolated, it was a short journey to other parts of the beautiful South Lakes.

"We enjoyed a very comfortable week in the cottage."

Very comfy beds and lovely fluffy towels. Cottage was very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment and plenty of hot water. Disappointed that there was no DVD player only a dvd controller. Would have be very useful as we were there during storm Ciara!!! There is a log burner with two log baskets but no logs! The gate to a fast running brook does not fasten and kept blowing open!!! The heating appears to have a problem the cottage gets very hot particularly upstairs. Radiators do not respond to being turned down.

Glad you had a lovely stay despite the awful wind and Rain. The DVD player is an I Player and connects to your mobile phone to play tunes We do not at present provide logs however this is currently under review. Thanks for pointing out the damage caused to the gate which is currently being replaced. The Heating upstairs and downstairs operates via a thermostat in the Kitchen and can be altered Manually Also the Radiators are fitted with thermostatic Radiator valves which if the room is becoming too hot can be turned down manually onto the frost protection setting Thank you for your feedback Property Owner
