"I have just returned from a week long break at The Lodge in Greystoke, Lake District, with my husband and dog."
We had a fantastic stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the property was spotless and a lovely hamper was left for us.
The property itself is well worth the money and rating. It is excellently appointed, spacious yet homely. There is no excess clutter and each room is tastefully decorated in keeping with the property. The gardens are lovely and the house backs onto a forest area that is part of the Greystoke Castle estate. The property sits at the edge of the 'village', a 2 minute walk along the road and had a shop/post office, swimming pool and pub serving home cooked meals.
The house is comfortable enough to stay in without needing to go out, however we like to visit the area. Penrith is a 10 minute drive and is full of local amenities and some nice restaurants, we can recommend 'La Casita' (Spanish tapas) and Four and Twenty (contemporary British) as well as Chapter 12 tearooms for a great scone!
Things to visit nearby:
- outdoor swimming pool (1 minute from the cottage in walking distance)
- Alpaca Walk from Base Camp North Lakes (18 minutes from the cottage)
- Boat cruise from Pooley Bridge pier (20 minutes from cottage)
- Breakfast by the river in Pooley Bridge at Granny Dowbekin's (20 minutes away)
- Keswick town centre (25 minutes away)
- Lake District Wildlife Park (30 minutes away)
- Abbots Jersey Ice Cream park (18 minutes away)
- Aira Force waterfall walk and tearoom (15 minutes away)
We had a wonderful holiday, the best in a long time, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this cottage for it's comfort, luxury and cleanliness - the cottage was spotless! If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay with the option of short journeys for activities. Look no further.
I couldn't have asked for anymore! Thank you to the owners for having us.

"Enjoyed our stay in The Lodge."
The conservatory and the little court yard off it is a pleasant sun trap. Good pub in village and another 1.5 miles away. Easy access to Penrith and surrounding countryside. Highly recommended.

"A lovely cottage which fulfilled our expectations, beautifully furnished, immaculately clean and very well equipped, the welcome pack was much appreciated."
The enclosed garden was very well kept and secure for the dog, we even had a visit from a hedgehog!
The village was very welcoming with a little shop for essentials and a lovely pub serving good food, the live music on a Sunday afternoon is not to be missed.

"We have just returned from a lovely relaxing stay at The Lodge."
The Lodge was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It’s a very good base for exploring the Northern Lakes. Greystoke village is lovely with plenty of dog walks from the doorstep of The Lodge, especially through the castle grounds.
Would highly recommend staying at The Lodge.

"My husband and I have returned from a stay here at the Lodge."
The lodge was cold in places especially the Conservatory. The fires were nice but the basket of wood only lasted two days. Plenty of hot water. No radio available.
I am a disabled person and thought we would get a quiet break but unfortunately this was not the case. In a property next door they have many hens and a very annoying Cockrell which is very vocal starting usually at 6am. The owner has been very unhelpful regarding this. If we had booked to stay on a farm then I would expect it but we did not. We will not use Sykes Cottages and stay at this property again

"Just come back home from a lovely week at The Lodge."
Small secure patio for our Labrador and through the gate there is another section of garden with a pond. Lots of storage space in the master bedroom and very comfy bed. Large kitchen with plenty of pots and pans, I could not find a measuring jug or champagne flutes but plenty of other glasses. Plenty of heating and hot water and the shower is great. Lovely log burners in kitchen and lounge and enough logs to get us started. Thank you very much for the welcome pack of biscuits, milk and wine. Nice pub down the road, The Boot and Shoe which does an amazing Sunday dinner. Dog friendly in the bar area. Would highly recommend The Lodge and will definitely return.

"Fantastic cottage in great location in village."
Only 5 minute walk to great pub The Boot & Shoe. The cottage is lovely & the cosy lounge is great to relaxe in especially with the log burner going. The kitchen has everything you need & a great cooker with the conservatory next to it & great to sit at table to enjoy morning coffee. The courtyard garden is a great sun trap later in day & lovely to sit & relaxe after a day out exploring. Would highly recommend a stay here & nothing is too far away to get to & explore the lakes. 5 stars from all of us. Many thanks for a great stay.

"An exceptional standard of holiday cottage ideally situated for the North Lakes area."
Quiet village location with friendly neighbours. Accommodation was excellent with everything you need to relax and unwind. As a dog owner the only comment was that the vacuum cleaner did not pick up all dog hairs and we were concerned about not being able to leave as found. The wine, treats and milk were appreciated.
