Greenmantle

• "Listing it as a seaside property is a bit disingenuous as on that part of the coast only the very nimble can reach the beach, shingle, due to the armouring with very large boulders."

  Cottage itself was comfy and warn and, with the caveat above would recommend it. Sykes Cottages: telling return bookees what to take - hand sanitiser! and to remember to leave the place clean is not necessary - annoying.

• "A fabulous cottage, wonderful location, amazing views."

  We didn't want for anything, the cottage is spacious, beds extremely comfortable, shower was hot and powerful, the sofa was also comfortable with a nice little corner for meals and a space outside for morning coffee. Would definitely recommend, if you want peace and quiet with endless views this is the place.

  Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "We had a perfect 4 night stay."

  We were more than happy with Greenmantle. If you need to get away to relax and switch off this is the place. The beautiful surroundings give plenty opportunity for walks to blow them cob webs away. We found some lovely places to eat out but also enjoyed a takeaway. There are plenty of choices. We will definitely return at some point. A big thank you to Bev for making the stay stress free.

  Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased you enjoyed Greenmantle and the lovely area, we hope you are able to come back one day Property Owner

• "A great spacious and comfortable property with plenty of room for two."

  The listing didn't make a big play of the closeness and view over the estuary so we were rather gobsmacked by how wonderful that was. A bird-watchers paradise with the tide ebbing and flowing, different every time I looked out. Like being in my own personal bird hide all the time we were there.

  Thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed the amazing bird life just outside the window Property Owner

• "The property was lovely with fantastic views."

  Its a shame there was only a fridge with no freezer, which would have been helpful. The only other downside was the WIFI which was very patchy and meant you couldn't watch anything for more than a few minutes before it went off, which is not too bad if you're staying in the summer but in October when the nights are cold and dark it would be nice to stay in and watch something without the WIFI dropping out all the time.

  We are glad you liked the beautiful views. We are sorry you didn’t read the particulars about us not having a freezer, it is by choice as we never have the time to defrost it properly between sits so we chose to not have one in the property. Regarding the WiFi it is the best we can do in a fairly rural area, around Silloth and the surrounding area a lot of work is in progress to update our network but this all takes time. Property Owner

• "Well equipped kitchen, clean and comfortable property."

  Great to have a dedicated parking space, visible from the property. The outstanding feature is the view across the Solway with the tide constantly ebbing and flowing. If you enjoy bird watching and coastal walks this is the place for you. Provision of information about the local area is excellent and the books by Scott and Buchan, plus others about the Wall etc is a nice touch. The tea, coffee, milk and granola bars also appreciated.

  Would stay again due to the location. Although they were other properties adjacent it was really as if they weren’t there. Peaceful place, with the sounds of the waves. A couple of things I would suggest is advice on the recycling bins, what goes where. Not really an issue though, just so it’s right. Great communication with the host. Thanks and see you again.

  The facilities are top line and it’s a very comfortable place to stay. The Solway Firth is full of curlews and waders and the high tide comes almost to the window.. but the sea defence is secure. We had a great time. It’s very peaceful and Grune point is very atmospheric.

  Stunning views directly over the water, Scottish hills gorgeous sunsets. Particularly suited us as we like birdwatching, walking and respite from traffic noise. Owner checked in and was helpful without being intrusive. Neighbours in the longhouse very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed walking into Silloth for coffee, chips and friendly locals, whilst the other way, space and wildness of Grune Point was so expansive. Can't wait to go back - to Greenmantle and the town.

• "Greenmantle is a wonderful apartment, placed on the very edge of the shore overlooking the Solway Firth."

  I would never tire of the view from all of the rear windows, out over the water to Scotland. It has all of the facilities to ensure that visitors have a perfect stay. It was comfortable, very clean (which we found very reassuring at a time when Covid cases are around 45,000 per day) and perfectly situated for all that we wanted to do. The walks straight out of the front door (north to Grune Point (c.1.5 miles) and south into Silloth (c.1.5 miles) ) are not taxing for a keen rambler, but offer the most wonderful views. Keswick, Derwent, Bassenthwaite and more are all in easy travelling distance. Storm Arwen arrived during our stay, but did nothing to dampen our spirits for this fabulous place - it merely changed the scenery for a few days. Our host was helpful and pleasant throughout, with good responses to messages. Thanks for a lovely stay Bev, we very hope to back at some point.

• "Lovely apartment in a quiet location but not too far from Silloth town centre with nice walks nearby."

  We really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, there was no freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge preventing ice cold drinks and potential food storage during one of the hottest periods of this year. This prevented us from using wine coolers and our ice block for keeping picnic food cool. All glasses were plastic in which wine does not taste the same as in proper glasses. The television was very small for the size of the living room. These are the only 3 things which we would have preferred to be better and hardly detracted from our experience. However, other people, and certainly a small family with children, could need to be aware of this before they go.

• "This was a lovely 'escape' as Greenmantle is a comfortable, well equipped apartment right on the shore where the owners couldn't do enough."

  . Being ground floor it has a small seating area to the rear and shared access (at the end of the building) to a small 'promenade' which overlooks a shingle/pebble beach. The location is scenic and extremely quiet - Silloth is about 2 miles away and if your going to walk on the beach you need good shoes. Just one thing to be aware of, is that there is no freezer of any size.

• "A fantastic cottage."

  , beautifully maintained. We were a little wary as there was no promotional photo of the kitchen, however we need not have been concerned as the kitchen was clean and modern and had everything we needed. The Satnav didn’t take us to quite the right place using the postcode, but fortunately I had previously walked it through on Google Street View. I was anxious that the Tesco delivery driver would find us, but he had been many times before apparently. The sunset views are the best I’ve ever experienced from a holiday cottage.

  A beautiful courtyard at the front and literally could not be any closer to the sea at the rear. We were also welcomed with milk, tea, coffee, and jam donuts. The owners were also nice enough to let us know there was no pressure on us to be out of the property by the stated check out time. The house has a lovely bathroom with a great shower, comfortable bedrooms (one double and one single), a great kitchen which had everything you could need and a very comfortable living room. The house was lovely and warm and very detailed instructions on things like how to operate the heating, recycling, rubbish disposal and wfi codes were provided. Highly recommended.
