"Lovely cottage."
Ideally situated in Kendal and the parking permit was a bonus. Cottage had everything needed for our stay. It was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The mattresses and pillows on both beds used were very comfortable. The milk and biscuits were appreciated. Only negative was the leather sofa....it was very low and the seating sagged so it was not comfortable at all. In our opinion a replacement is needed.

"Lovely little cottage, Very central location in the busy town of Kendal and easy to get to other locations in the Lake District."
-
"Great little house."
Central location makes it perfect for those arriving by train. Everything within walking distance
-
"We really enjoyed our time in this cottage as a base for exploring the Lake District."
Very well located in the centre of Kendal. It was comfortable and quiet, clean throughout and the parking permit was really useful. Only minor points were no hairdryer or clothes horse despite having a good washing machine. I’d definitely stay again.

"Everything very nice."
We have stayed before and also enjoyed it. This time we noticed a fair amount of upgrading in furniture and a welcome addition of a stair rail which was a great help for my partner.

"Another visit to Entry Lane, Kendal."
. We really enjoyed our stay. The location of the cottage is perfect for retail therapy, coffee shops/bars and exploring the Lake District. As always, the cottage was spotlessly clean, with comfy beds and everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The parking permit and the welcome pack were very much appreciated! Looking forward to our next visit.

"Great communications with the owners Sean & Donna from the start."
A real gem of a property, centrally located in Kendal and maintained to the highest of standards. The property is Immaculately clean, well maintained with welcoming tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival. The addition of a parking permit by the new owners is a fantastic idea, as previously you had to pay daily to use Booth's car park, which added up over a week. The parking permit also allows you to park free in most of the local towns at selected car parks. Well recommended for anyone wishing to stay in a high quality, fantastically run property within Kendal. 5 stars!

No more to say!
-
"Well positioned lovely clean cottage close to centre of Kendal."
Well presented. Everything that was needed was supplied and more. Only negative was having to park car out of sight. However parking permit was provided which was very useful as it allowed you to park on certain car parks in the surrounding area.

"Really lovely stay and we will book here again."
-
"We stayed in this lovely little cottage, in the middle of Kendal town for 3 days in August."
The cottage has a small living area and a full-equipped kitchen (with little details like biscuits, coffee, tea, a lot of Peter Rabbit books and artefacts) which makes this a lovely cosy cottage for a family of four. There are two bedrooms spread over two floors (a tall house) with two bathrooms and toilets. The beds were freshly washed, clean and was a welcome to tuck into after 8 hours of journey. The place to just a minute's walk from the high street and good to drop into Pizza Express in the evening or the lovely café opposite for a lazy brunch. It is just 15-20 mins drive to Windermere or Ullswater and is a good base for all the activities around Lake District. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this cottage for small families.
-
"Really cute cottage, right in the centre of Kendal, so great for all the local amenities, but not at all noisy."
We were always able to get a parking space in the recommended car park to be used with the parking permit. We would definitely book again.
-
"Lovely little cottage in a great location, the free parking permit was an added bonus."
The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated and had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The owners provided clear information about where to park and where to avoid. All in all a very enjoyable weeks stay!
-
"Maybe consider a stair rail for disability purposes."
other than that, excellent.
-
"Second visit to this property Just as good as the first Great communication with the owners when I had problems with trains and very helpful."
Great property close to shops pubs cafes etc and some nice riverside walks Kendal is a really nice place to visit and will be even nicer when it's finished !
-
"Property was wonderfully presented and located right in the heart of the town."
Parking was literally 30 seconds away and free with the pass provided, although you could park briefly right outside to unload / load your car. Everything you would need in the property was provided along with instructions for appliances. You could walk to everything within Kendal although we chose to drive to Windermere on one day! Beautiful place to visit and would definitely recommend and we will be returning hopefully to stay again.
-
"Had a beautiful week in kendal."
The cottage was beautiful and very close to all amenities. The proprietor was very kind, helpful. Very thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back. Thank you.
-
"The cottage was beautifully clean and warm with an abundance of hot water."
It was well equipped but I would suggest that shower/bath mats would be useful. Ideally situated for the town and Booths supermarket. Parking a little way from the property but with the parking permit it was easy and we always got a space.
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage in a fantastic location."
Had everything you could need during your stay to hand. Immaculately clean and lovely decor. The parking permit is an excellent addition too. Great base for shops, cafes, walking locally and trips into the Lakes. Highly recommend.
-
"A delightful property in the very centre of Kendal with Booths top supermarket, and other shops, less than a minute walk away."
The house is spotlessly clean and well equipped, comfortable beds and very quiet at night. The heating and hot water was instant and the free parking ticket was invaluable. The central Lakes are a short drive away and I definitely recommend this holiday home. The owners were also very kind and good at communicating.
-
"I managed to book the wrong dates, I phoned Sykes Cottages and they called the host while I was on the phone to seek approval to change the dates - great service!"
Communication and information from Sykes was very good, as was text messages from the host. The cottage was very clean, quiet and comfortable, only a couple of minutes walk to town, and the parking permit was very much appreciated. Highly recommended
-

"Perfect little Kendal house to stay in."
.. lovely and clean... parking permit was so helpful as we know how hard it is to park now... Would definitely use this house again....
-
"Great property."
Handily placed for everything you need and all within easy walking distance (especially once you find all the shortcuts). House was a home from home with everything provided.
-
"We were so impressed with the cottage."
It was well equipped, welcoming and in a brilliant location to explore the lakes. It was beautifully clean and was so comforting how all soft furnishings and bedding smelt fresh and encouraged a comfortable nights sleep. Owners were very accommodating and communication was excellent. We will definitely return.
-
"A home away from home."
A pretty, traditional cottage in an ideal location for exploring Kendal. Very grateful for the thoughtful gestures such as a fresh carton of milk, teabags and a taste of mint cake! The addition of the parking permit was so greatly received too - a very unique and generous feature. The only thing we struggled with was using the oven. We spent about half an hour trying to warm our croissants. Whilst there was a sticker on the oven, we still struggled with 3D heat etc (?) Perhaps you could add a more clear sticker that specifically says Grill, oven and a quick explanation of which dials to turn? Great communication from the host from the moment of booking until the end of our stay.
-
"Well situated cottage, central to everything easy access to the lakes."
-
"We had a very pleasant stay, once we had overcome the complexity of the one way system and managed to find the cottage."
Very handy for Booths! Very easy to access Windermere and the wider Lake District from the cottage. An enjoyable week despite the vagaries of the weather.
-
"Just back from our second visit to 21, Entry Lane, Kendal."
We had a lovely, relaxing week. The cottage is very clean and comfortable, with everything you need. The location is excellent and the parking pass for the week was a real bonus. Thank you so much

"Absolutely lovely Stay , Immaculately clean - every single item in the cupboards were spotless !"
No issues with hot water / heating ...all perfect. Really comfy Bed & Fantastic location...much bigger property inside than the pics illustrate. Only 1 small criticism- could do with a Black out blind at front window in Main bedroom ...but this is only because of personal choice , I like complete darkness to sleep! We will Definitely be back to the cottage & will recommend to our friends. Thankyou !
