"The property was great - very well furbished and the en-suite bathrooms for each double room were a bonus."
The only minor issue was that there wasn’t a microwave. Would definitely look to book this property again when visiting the Lakes.
-
"A fantastic property in a great location."
It had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend stay. Clean, warm, plenty of ‘equipment’, clear instructions and nice little touches such as snacks left, would definitely stay here again. Thank you
-
"We had a lovely weekend stay."
The house was spotless and the welcome basket was a really lovely touch. The beds were comfortable and facilities great. It was also in the perfect spot for the centre

"We thought the house was beautiful and well equipped and in a great location."
We noticed a few things that weren’t quite right, such as doors not shutting fully and curtains coming off rails. Most important of these were the windows in the main bedroom - these were were difficult to open (and if opened they slammed shut very swiftly, so quite dangerous as well as meaning that the room was very hot) and one of sashes had a broken timber frame which looked quite rotten. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.

"Very nice place and location with a lovely welcome pack."
We had a great short break and would certainly book again next time we have a family holiday.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the property."
We thought it was very clean, with a lot of generous space, nice touches like the hand soap and great views. The beds were really comfortable. The views are wonderful and the overall location is outstanding. We thought the house had a cloakroom and/or downstairs toilet which we needed for someone with access problems but the house did not have this. Might be worth removing from the description. We also thought a description of the short cut down to the lake using the church side path might be helpful for people as it fits a lot of time off the walk which goes through the town. We also thought the stairs were quite steep in the house so again may be worth adding to the description of the house. We would definitely come back and stay again.

"We were very impressed with the house, made for a great holiday."
Would highly recommend a stay at this huge very comfortable property.

"Property has lovely big rooms, nice bathrooms and comfy beds!"
Sadly there was much that we were not impressed with. On arrival we noticed both gates were broken, lots of weeds outside and all bins were overflowing due to the recycling being mixed up, and not lifted by refuse collectors. We were unable to use the back outside space as there is a leaking overflow which has made the whole area slippy and green, including making the door green. Various doors in the house don't open/close properly and the family bathroom door doesn't lock. Front main bedroom windows don't stay open and there is exposed glass on a window due to a rotten window frame. This was all reported to Sykes, who apologised and asked how to make it right, it cant while the property is occupied ☹️ The complaint was sent to the owner, I haven't heard anything. It's worth noting the stairs and floors are uneven due to the age of the house. We wouldn't stay again or recommend.

"The perfect property in an ideal location."
Spotlessly clean and all the facilities you could ever need. We've stayed at Oakhurst previously and will definitely be returning.

Well equipped accommodation.Would recommend.

Well equipped, clean and smart, great location loved there was a en suite with every bedroom would definitely stay again
-
"Oakhurst is really well-equipped, comfortable, spacious and ideally located."
The four of us had a fab weekend, and enjoyed having a bedroom and a bathroom each. The front door lock was temperamental which meant I nearly had to call for help on one occasion, but brute force and ignorance saved the day. Also there are many MANY coffee makers but only one small teapot. Overall we had a brilliant stay, and intend to come back again.
-
"We absolutely loved our stay in Oakhurst and would definitely consider returning again."
It had everything we needed in a great location. We also fell lucky with the parking. Our family appreciated the en-suites and the champagne in the welcome pack was a lovely treat over the New Year break! Thank you xx
-
"Oakhurst is the perfect property in a superb location."
All the equipment and facilities you could ever need and spotlessly clean. The lovely welcome pack was an added bonus. This was our second stay at Oakhurst and we will definitely be back.
-
"Very comfortable and spacious house ideally located close to Keswick town centre."
The showers are excellent and beds are very comfy.
-
"Lovely complimentary welcome pack on arrival."
Modern kitchen and bathrooms. Everything you need for comfortable break. Comfortable beds and quality bedding. Thanks for lovely stay. The only thing would be good if a later check out was available 10am rather early
-
"Thank you for a wonderful week at Oakhurst!"
The house is lovely, with pretty much everything you could need. Plenty of space to sit and chat. The bath is huge enough to swim in, it's amazing! And the cottage was nice and warm in chilly November. Everyone slept fine so the beds must have been consistently comfortable. The only down side for us was the lack of grass in the garden for our dog, but really was no great inconvenience and certainly hasn't lessened our enjoyment of the holiday! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will likely be back again next year! :D
-
"An amazing house!"
Perfect for our family of six. Ideal location as it is a short walk into town and also to the lakeside. Beds are very comfy and showers are fantastic. The house is so well equipped and has everything you could ask for and more! The welcome pack was a really nice touch and very much appreciated. Thank you. We will definitely recommend to others.
-
"Perfect for the 3 of us - one en-suite each."
Instruction book in one place for all appliances would be good . No idea about bins as no instructions- we got lucky putting them out ! Sofa etc in lounge are way to heavy to move. Far too many cushions in bedrooms / pillows are thick . Would use again. Parking outside the property was ok as I left the car for a week and used buses
-
"2nd visit for us!"
House is perfect location and has lovely bedding, most rooms en-suite and furnishings are quality and had everything required for your family stay. We were very comfy. Only negative in hope of a few little changes Can you ever over equip a kitchen ? Yes ( not much room to put food shop). Any the living room cusions need replacing at feather were leaking out. Plus you need a washing line, god forbid you hang it in what we thought was a shared courtyard. Would Definitely go again and recommend this property. Thank you
-
"The En-suite bathrooms and kitchen are of a very high standard and also modern looking."
We felt that some of the decor and furnishings are a little tired looking which is not in keeping with the kitchen and bathrooms. The connecting internal doors cannot be opened as we assume new carpets have been fitted. The front gate and door are in need of attention. Excellent location for the centre of Keswick and the house is very spacious.

We couldn't work the top oven especially the microwave which is important in a holiday let also the tv was basic would have been great if we could have connected to are Netflix/prime especially over the Christmas period other than that we had a great stay thank you

"Lovely accommodation upstairs, 3 en-suite rooms etc Nice new carpet throughout which made the house feel great, with good central heating system in the very cold weeks we were there No smart TV, unusual for the price of the accommodation Man who replaced sheets and towels - very good Dishwasher was not working when we arrived - Maybe this explained the ‘not as clean as it should be’ plates, cutlery etc."
Dishwasher worked once I had worked out how to reset it (3 resets required in the two weeks) Microwave sometimes decided to simply not work, never resolved, no idea why it would stop working, but it did. Reported both but neither issue resolved. Used tumble drier once - had to empty very full condensed water container and clean completely blocked fluff filter. Used washing machine once - had to clean powder tray as congealed with powder. But we did have a wonderful two weeks :)

"Very good location easy to walk into town."
The accommodation was of a high standard, very well equipped and clean. Lounge was very comfortable, large dining room and very well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms all nice and 3 en suite's made life easy. Would definitely recommend. Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome pack!
-
"This was the perfect place for a short break."
All having access to separate bathrooms was very useful. The kitchen was really well equipped. Parking was easy and the location so close to town we didn't need to move the cars at all. We all enjoyed the excellent weather and went for some lovely walks. I would certainly recommend this property.
-
"Excellent property - close to town centre - quite delightful"
-
"The photos of this property do not do it justice."
It provided a cosy, clean and very comfortable environment for a fabulous three generation family holiday. The en-suites were a real bonus. Very well equipped kitchen and the house is in short walking distance to Keswick town. Would not hesitate to rebook.
