"This deserves 10 stars!"
We had multiple birthday celebrations all over 1 weekend (1 80th, 3 50ths and an 18th) and so booked Pen Y Ghent and Ingleborough for all 16 people, and a dog, to stay in. With ages ranging from 17 to 85, we had trouble finding suitable accomodation for everyone but these 2 houses fitted the bill perfectly. Right next to each other, excellent location, hot tubs, plenty of space, they ticked everybox for us.
Both properties are truely stunning, exceptionally well furnished and immactulately presented. It takes a lot to stop the mother in law talking, but when she first walked in she was silenced and walked around with her jaw open admiring it all. This alone was worth it!
The kitchen has a vast array of equipment, utensils, plates and crockery and with such huge dining table, we could all eat and drink together. The younger ones in the group, enjoyed the guge tv and the fast wifi and comfortable sofas in the front rooms.
Everyone commented on the excellent bedrooms, noting expecially how comfortable the beds were. Those with an en-suite room found the walkin showers very handy, especially the 85 year old Father in law who does have some reduced mobility.
The location is perfect for a 2 minute stoll into the town of Kirky Lonsdale and all its shops and pubs, and about a 10 minute walk to Devils bridge with the excellent butty van.
We have stayed in multiple holiday cottages over the last 10 years and genuinely, these 2 properties are right at the top of the list for quality, location, facilities and enjoyment.
Don't even hesitate to book either property, you will not regret it.

"Had a wonderful week with friends over New Year in this superb and well appointed accomodation."
The experience was further enhanced by the fact that my wife left her Kindle in a bedroom....and the owner arranged to post it back free if charge.
Sykes Cottages also were very helpful in retrieving this item.
Cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review.
It's lovely to hear you had such a wonderful New Year break at Ingleborough and that the property worked so well for your time away with friends.
Sykes Cottages were in communication with me once you had contacted them, and I’m pleased we were able to reunite your wife with her Kindle – these things happen, and we’re always happy to help where we can.
Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back to Ingleborough in the future.

"The accommodation was very well equipped and comfortable."
Perfect for 4 couples and 2 dogs. Bedrooms were spacious with super comfortable beds and great showers.
The hot tub was a bonus.
The house was all decorated for Christmas, which was lovely.
Excellent location, short stroll to the shops, bars and restaurants.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m delighted to hear that Ingleborough suited your group so well — and that the dogs enjoyed their stay too! It’s great to know you found the bedrooms comfortable and spacious, and that the hot tub was a welcome extra.
I’m especially pleased you liked the Christmas decorations; we always try to make the house feel festive for guests at this time of year. And yes, the location really does make things easy with everything just a short stroll away.
Thanks again for staying — you’d all be very welcome back anytime.

"We all had a wonderful time living in the Ingleborough."
Our only gripe is that there was no dish cloths, washing up liquid or tea towels for us to wash up. We did use the dishwasher but any odd cups, plates etc used after the dishwasher was finished we couldn’t wash them up.
Also there wasn’t many toilet rolls provided.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review — I’m really pleased to hear you all had a wonderful stay at Ingleborough.
I’m sorry, though, that the supply of kitchen bits and loo rolls fell short for you. We normally provide those essentials as standard, so I’ll double-check with housekeeping to make sure they’re always in place before guests arrive. Thank you for bringing it to my attention - feedback like this really does help us keep things running smoothly.
I hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you all back again.

"Great property in the beautiful village of Kirkby Lonsdale."
Excellent facilities at the house and easy access to various places in the Lake District. I saw in another review the hot tub jets weren't very strong- each jet can be altered so I think the jets were just turned down when that person visited.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m delighted you enjoyed the property and its facilities, as well as beautiful Kirkby Lonsdale and the easy access to the Lake District. I really appreciate you clarifying about the hot tub jets too – it’s always helpful for future guests to know they can be adjusted to suit.

"Great location, super property for family gathering."
Very clean and modern. Couldn’t ask for more. 5 min walk up the hill from the high street with a brewery part way!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so pleased you enjoyed the location and found the property perfect for your family gathering. It’s great to hear you appreciated the cleanliness and modern feel. Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery's "Royal Barn" is a great place to call in for some refreshment on the way up the hill!!

"This is the third time we have stayed at this accommodation, still amazing however, the little personalised touches are missing which adds the sparkle and justifies the jump in price tag such as bubble bath, robes & hampers etc."
that is no longer the case. Kitchen is slightly worn now however still very luxurious

"Brilliant place to stay, so much space for everyone, very private plenty of parking, ideally placed for Kirby Lonsdale just a few minutes walk away."
Enclosed garden for the dogs. Just one thing, the hot tub was a bit too hot and the jets were not very strong. We hope to be back
