Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.
Conditions:
The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.
The other offer is cheaper than your Sykes’ booking when you ignore all optional extras on both and all vouchers, discount codes, gift cards, loyalty, reward or other type of membership or repeat business schemes and any generic promotion on the other offer.
Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.
This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.
2We’ll check if it qualifies for our Price Match Guarantee.
3If it does, we will pay you the relevant difference within 14 days. That’s it!

"We have just returned after a short break in this lovely studio."
It is spacious, modern, spotless and has the most beautiful views towards the lake district. The studio was warm and full of natural light, the outdoor space was secluded and very well maintained with lots of outdoor seating options. Our sight hound loved the expansive views from the picture window and we sat most mornings enjoying coffee and watching the sun light up the hills in the distance. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt pampered by the wonderful choice of necessities and extras in the welcome pack, we were delighted as it was unexpectedly thoughtful. A 5 minute drive to Penrith for dog walks to the Beacon and around the nature reserve and local shopping too. A perfect short break, we hope to come back!

"We had a wonderful stay here."
The accommodation is stylish, modern and has a fantastic view of the nearby peaks and green fields. Our dog loved playing in the large garden on the property. The hosts Pam and Neil were very welcoming and we were blown away with their hospitality. We had just married and they went well above and beyond, gifting a card and a bottle of champagne to us. The welcome basket was high quality. Would highly recommend, a great experience and value for money.

"By far the best property we have stayed at with our dog in the UK (and we have stayed in quite a few)."
It is clean, spacious and the owners have gone above and beyond to make sure people staying in their property are well looked after. The property is a very good size, especially the bathroom. There is a large enclosed garden which was great for our dog. The welcome pack was incredible, wine, beer, milk, bread, biscuits, fruit and more. It was thoughtful and generous. Cleaning products were provided. More than you would expect and also full sized items. Items such as washing up liquid, anti-bacterial spray, kitchen roll, bin bags on a roll etc. A nice touch in the bathroom was a laundry basket. Something so simple that makes a huge difference much better than having to store dirty clothes in a bag or suitcase. The bedding and towels smelled clean and fresh and the scent lasted for nearly the full week. Location is excellent. Easy to get to Carlisle, Penrith and of course the Lakes. We had a lovely week staying at The Studio - Charonini and would definitely recommend this property.

The property
The Studio - Charonini is a stylish, studio-style apartment surrounded by countryside in Plumpton near Penrith, Cumbria.
With open-plan living, plenty of outdoor space and easy access to both the Lake District and North Pennines, this pet-friendly apartment offers a romantic getaway.
There are two parking spaces, one off-road and another in the garage, along with bike storage for those travelling for an outdoor adventure.
Climb the steps to your home-from-home where a thoughtfully decorated, open-plan space awaits; settle into the contemporary kitchen with marble countertops to rustle up a home-cooked meal for your other half, to be served at the breakfast bar for two.
The space is filled with natural light to snuggle up on the sofa with a good book, whilst evenings can be spent watching the Smart TV.
With uninterrupted views of the countryside, step out onto the sheltered patio with a cold glass of wine, or why not make use of the gas barbecue out on the elevated patio.
Time it right and you'll dine with the sunset, whilst your furry friend is welcome to stretch out on the lawn.
After busy days trekking the Lake District, return for a hot shower in the shower room before getting ready for bed.
A sumptuous king-size is tucked away in the corner where you'll wake up to those idyllic, rural views from the picture window opposite.
Start your holiday by exploring the lovely town of Penrith, with plenty of shops and eateries for your self-catering stay, as well as historic attractions such as the ruins of Penrith Castle, Penrith and Eden Museum and the curious passages of the nearby Brougham Castle.
If you seek the great outdoors, take a short drive into the Lake District; the likes of Pooley Bridge on the shores of Ullswater and Keswick along Derwentwater are two popular locations for picturesque walks and attractions, including Keswick's Theatre By The Lake for a romantic evening!
To the east you'll also have the North Pennines to climb the nearby Cross Fell, the area's highest peak, Ashgill Force and the Pennine Way, England's first National Trail.
Alternatively, spend the day in Carlisle along the Scottish Border, with so much history on offer; Carlisle Castle and Cathedral are spectacular sites, whilst Hadrian's Wall isn't far to walk along the ancient fort ruins.
Escape to Cumbria's countryside with your other half at The Studio - Charonini.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

Where you’ll be staying
PENRITH
Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.
The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
