Price Match Guarantee

If you find a cheaper price anywhere online, we’ll refund you the difference.

Price Match Guarantee

If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.

Conditions:

The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.

The other offer is cheaper than your Sykes’ booking when you ignore all optional extras on both and all vouchers, discount codes, gift cards, loyalty, reward or other type of membership or repeat business schemes and any generic promotion on the other offer.

Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.

This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.

How to claim:

Send the evidence we’ve asked for above to pricematch@sykescottages.co.uk along with your booking reference.

We’ll check if it qualifies for our Price Match Guarantee.

If it does, we will pay you the relevant difference within 14 days. That’s it!

  • "No local information, doctor, dentist, etc, places to go or what to see."

    One bath towel and two hand towels inadequate for a week stay. Fire not in use, it can still be cold early April. No cupboard to keep food in, not everyone eats out every night. No sweeping brush or vacuum, or mop,hand held vacuum and dustpan and brush only. Cooking facilities fine if you are keen on technology, but no use to cook a decent meal. Also television. Netflix and streaming only, no use for regular viewing. Place itself was nice, but lack of necessary items and information. Wouldn't recommend for anyone over 40.

The property

Foxy Lady Cottage is an enchanting, terraced cottage with character, nestled in the historic market town of Workington.

Ideally situated for exploring local amenities and attractions, it is perfect for couples.

Foxy Lady Cottage accommodates two guests and two well-behaved dogs looking for a getaway to Cumbria. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious lounge, where distinctive exposed stonework adds a touch of charm.

Cosy up in front of the faux wood burner, sink into the sofa, or curl up in an armchair.

The kitchen, with its white painted stonework, has a bright and airy ambiance.

It houses a dining table and chairs, ideal for socializing with the cook.

This unique space is equipped with a single ring hob, microwave, and air fryer, with an undercounter fridge beside the sink.

The back door opens to an enclosed garden, featuring bench seating and a bistro table and chairs for ultimate relaxation. Ascending from the lounge, the thoughtfully arranged, spacious, and newly renovated shower room is an ideal space to freshen up after a day's adventures.

A heated towel rail, enclosed shower cubicle, and a sink with a mirror above and brass fittings create a contemporary atmosphere.

The bedroom features a brass bed that complements the cottage's character, ample hanging space, bedside tables, and industrial-style wall lights, adding to the room's delightful charm. Workington is a lovely town offering a convenience store for all of your holiday essentials, as well as local eateries and pubs, with options including Café West and The Well.

The town also benefits from a beach, where you can enjoy a stroll along the coast.

With the Helena Thompson Museum, Workington Hall, and Vulcan Park nearby, you'll be spoiled for choice.

For those seeking adventure, the Ghyll Scrambling Water Adventure a little further away offers an exciting experience.

The property is within reach of the stunning scenery of the Lake District National Park, where there are many walks, watersports activities, mountain biking trails, and birdwatching opportunities.

Experience all this and more during a tranquil stay at Foxy Lady Cottage.

Where you’ll be staying

WORKINGTON

Maryport 6 miles; Cockermouth 7.7 miles; Bassenthwaite Lake 23 miles.

Workington is an ancient market and port town on the west coast of Cumbria, based at mouth of the River Derwent. The town has a selection of shops, bars and two theatres, as well as five churches and history dating back to Roman times, with forts positioned on the coast as coastal defences. Curwen Hall is a striking ruin, which was originally built around a pele tower that dates back to the 14th century and was used to shelter Mary Queen of Scots on her last flight to Scotland before her execution. In more recent time, Workington was known for the production of high quality iron ore and mining, and the town’s industrial history can be learnt at the maritime museum based on the cliffs in nearby Whithaven. The western side of the Lake District National Park can be reached in less than half an hour’s drive, to the west is the Solway Firth and its designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and to the east are the Lakeland Hills. A wonderful base for exploring the Cumbrian coastline.
