“Fantastic location and a great place to stay with a really nice owner who made a point of popping over to make sure everything was ok.”

Really liked the idea that the owner put her number on the kitchen wall if we needed to get in touch. Kids loved the games room and we all loved the hot tub

- Mr Brain, August 2019
“We had a wonderful holiday, this house was in a perfect location for us to explore the lakes.”

The hot tub was a bonus as we used it daily after our long walks, and the river in the garden was lovely and relaxing. We would highly recommend this house.

- Mrs Lumsden, July 2019
“A fantastic little hideaway in a well equipped village Would love to return”

- Mr Dobler, July 2019
“Lovely clean cottage.”

Very well equipped. Super comfortable bed. Felt very at home & relaxed here. Excellent base to explore the lakes & lovely local walks too. The dogs & us enjoyed it & we would not hesitate to book it again.

- Mrs Coleman, June 2019
“Great place for a holiday.”

Very quiet location. The owner was helpful when the washer broke, and did the washing for us. Then she brought and fitted a new washer. Garden is large but is not secure if your dogs have a tendency to roam. All together a relaxing holiday with walks on the doorstop. Can recommend to anyone.

- Miss Rodgers, May 2019
“Perfect location peaceful and still near facilities fells and beach not to far away.”

Walks from the door. Hot tub a bonus after a long walk up the fells and everything we needed for our stay in the cottage.

- Mr Waterhouse, March 2019
“Thumbs up”

I would definitely give this property the thumbs up. My friends and I along with 2 dogs visited to celebrate the New Year! The bungalow was very well presented and had everything we could of wanted and more, the stream running through the garden was lovely. We were within walking distance of the local village... couldn’t fault a thing, we all loved it and will be back.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay at Bleng Garth. I note that we have been in contact with the property owner to lodge your complaint and discussed your concerns at length. We also offered a gesture of goodwill in relation to this, which was sadly declined. I believe my colleague Claire has been in contact with you to advise of the way forward with your complaint. In the meantime, if there is any further information you require, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Sykes owner relations
“We have just spent new year in bleng Garth cottage which was fantastic.”

Cottage has everything in it that you could possibly need. Beautiful location along with a gorgeous walk into the town of gosforth, where the locals make you feel welcome along with your dogs. Fantastic trip to be repeated again .

- Mrs Nichols, December 2018
“Nice cottage just not hard to find if you don’t know the area at all keys just left in the kitchen door open on arrival hot tub facility is great but not much else to do locally.”

Very loud floor boards no blinds just very dark curtains and no blind in the bathroom loud at night with animals in the field next to the cottage. Didn’t appreciate upon checkout no time was stated received a text saying cleaners should be round at 11 which gives a bit more time however was rudely spoken too when “cleaner” arrived saying “you should of been out at 10 really I’ve got other people waiting to come” when having empty everything leaving cottage spotlessly clean

- Mr Glen, November 2018
“The property was good and had everything you needed in kitchen.”

We thought the property was ours for the week so were very unimpressed to arrive home one afternoon to find someone actually in the property said he was checking electrics. We had left personal items in the property of ours. Then again another day we came home and found that someone had been around as windows had been closed in kitchen and bathroom that we had left on catches. We took our dog and one night went to let her out at 10pm only to find an enormous cow in the garden who would not move and took up the stance ready to charge so had to ring owners and he came down and got cow back into field but every day after in the evening the cow came down and tried to get back into the garden so felt very unsure about letting out dog into garden on her own. Even thought generally we were with her we didn't feel able to turn our backs.

- Mrs Rogers, July 2018
“This is a very comfortable property in a perfect location.”

It is very peaceful by the river. Everything you could require for a holiday is provided and it was very comfortable. My request for a teapot was quickly acted upon. The only thing wrong with the cottage is the lack of a blind in the bathroom which faces onto a lane.

- Mrs Mason, June 2018
“No blinds on bathroom windows no teapot or trays no waste bins in lounge or bedrooms no wastebin liners”

- Mrs Mounsey, May 2018
“Lovely cottage no hassle to book, comfortable and warm and a great area to explore the lakes, excellent facilities in the cottage and would love to go back again.”

- Mr Boyall, March 2018
“Excellent cottage with great facilities, very cosy place to stay in the Lake District”

- Mr Rapson, March 2018
“Lovely cottage in an excellent location.”

We were very warm and comfortable the dogs loved the big garden and was very quiet and peaceful just listening to the river and watching the birds. We will definitely return.

- Mrs Bamford, March 2018
“The property was well furnished and equipped.”

Triple aspect views from the lounge so wherever you sat you could see the views. A lovely little tiver trickled past at the rear of the property. Comfort and cosy warmth made for a wonderful holiday and we will no doubt return. Owner was very helpful but not obtrusive.

- Mrs Hayward, February 2018
“Wonderful, comfortable cottage.”

So peaceful....just the sound of the river in the back garden. Great location for lakes,fella and coast. 1 hour 15 mins from Keswick. 1 hour 30 from Windermere (take Hardknott/Wrynose pass.......if you dare!!). Dogs loved it too. Would not hesitate in coming back again.

- Mrs Johnson, February 2018

- Mr Nicol, December 2017
