• "Absolutely perfect!"

  We cannot rate this cottage highly enough! Just returned after our week at Glenside, we are an outdoor loving family of four, plus our rescue dog, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The property is so very beautiful, with everything you could need, a real home from home and very deserving of it’s Sykes award! Great kitchen and bathrooms, and incredibly comfortable furniture and beds, fantastic after a day on the fells bagging Wainwrights! Superb location, close to Hawkshead for shops and Lake Windermere just down the road. Hilltop within walking distance was an added bonus. One of the best bits for us though had to be the views from the front of the cottage! The owners are very welcoming and kind, the goodies on arrival were a lovely touch. We also loved how they championed local businesses by including them within the cottage and also taking the time to write up information on each of the products. We’ve stayed in the Lakes area many times, but for us this cottage was by the far the best and we are already planning to return!

  Beds were very comfy and it was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It was set in a lovely, peaceful location with views over open farmland. Also handy for the ferry to Windermere and so many other scenic and historic locations. Thank you so much.

• "Thank you, a pleasant house and location, better than expectations."

  It was nice to see a gentle quiet part of the Lakes rather than the more rugged. The local roads are not great, satnav often unhelpful, but I guess it helps keep the crowds away. The local wildlife seems to be thriving eg songbirds and red squirrels, or perhaps it seems so because of the dire state of ecology elsewhere in Enlgand.

  It’s very peaceful with views over the sheep and lamb fields. We enjoyed lots of walks from the door and there are 2 pubs, with great food, within walking distance. The garden was secure for our dog and had plenty of outdoor furniture so would be lovely in better weather. We made use of the log burner instead! We appreciated all the little extras too! We would definitely recommend.

• "Not the 1st time we have stayed here which tells you everything!"

  The owner, Mrs Jones has done a fantastic job with this cottage, really comfy, classy and traditional. Nice touch like logs for fire, freshly layed Sawery eggs and local products on arrival. Can’t compliment this cottage anymore than you will not be disappointed. Cuckoo Brow pub 2 mins walk, Tower Bank 10 mins walk, really peaceful surroundings all day / night but close enough for lots of fantastic walks (Hawkshead, Ambleside, Grassmere/ Coniston) / attractions (Bowness, Grizedale). Good to see Mountain Goat bus back on again this year since Covid. You will not be disappointed with a stay here!

• "We enjoyed staying at Glenside, but if the advertisement had been more accurate, we wouldn't have chosen this property because it lacked essential information."

  We think you should outline all the property rules regarding dogs because we feel that it was sneaky to not disclose that dogs couldn't be left in the property and that they couldn't access all areas of the house. We were celebrating our 50th birthdays and chose a UK holiday because we wanted to share this with our puppy, who was one when we were at Glenside. Only being informed that he couldn't access all areas of the house and then having to take him to Christmas dinner and leave him in the car was terrible and meant we had to rush our dinner. If we knew this prior to putting down the deposit, we would have chosen somewhere else. Additionally, being informed by Anne that we should have asked questions regarding this beforehand is poor. How can we formulate questions regarding our dog if we don't know the rules? We believe dog-friendly means they can access all areas and be left at home. We would also expect that if you advertise that you have Sky Q, it means that it is the full service. Not having access to sports and movies, especially when the weather is so poor over Christmas, reduced the enjoyment. On a more positive note, Anne was very nice and supportive when the weather impacted our ability to shop and she dropped off some food to tide us over. The house was very comfortable and relaxing and the setting was beautiful even though the weather was atrocious

  Thank you for your feedback , it's always helpful especially when it involves possible miscommunication. All the information you needed is accurate and was accessible to you at the time of booking. All of Sykes' dog friendly properties fall under these terms: "Pets We have compiled a helpful checklist of items you might want to bring along for your furry companion! Dogs are required to be well behaved - please ensure that they are to be kept off all furniture. Also remember that they cannot be left in your holiday home unattended at any time. Please remember to bring the bed, blankets and towels as well as their food and water bowls. If your property has an enclosed garden, we can't guarantee that your dog won’t find a way to escape if its determined to go off exploring on its own, so please give the boundaries a quick check when you arrive at the property for peace of mind. Please could you also regularly check the property's outside space and ensure any waste is bagged and binned on departure." Not allowing dogs upstairs is a condition in place as a consideration for all future guests. With regard to Sky Q , there's is a code which allows access to all channels. This system gives an element of parental control. A quick text to me would have resolved this for you. i'm happy that you found the house comfortable and relaxing. We all work very hard to ensure all our guests enjoy their stay in this beautiful part of The Lake District ... whatever the weather.. x Kindest Regards Anne Property Owner

• "Our third year at Glenside."

  We have been staying in Far/Near Sawrey annually for the last 12 years and Glenside is our favourite. Very clean and I love the little extras such as the eggs, jam, soap, shampoo, and beautiful flowers. Anne has thought of everything. A comfortable house which makes you totally relaxed. The location is excellent for walks from the door and cycling. We only needed to use the car once, cycling the rest of the week. If I was going to have to suggest anything then a metal bar on the shed outside wall to lock bikes to. This is not a necessity. In the future perhaps even an electric car charger as we all move over, but for now it is perfect! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful property and enabling us to have family time in our favourite part of the Lake District.

  Everything you may need was there. The only minor issue is staying there at the end of June, with the longer daylight hours, darker curtains would have been helpful and also the option of turning off the landing light would have been good.

  Thank you for your comments, always helpful. In response to the issue regarding the landing light. When we set up the cottage we were advised that It is a health and safety requirement that the staircase is illuminated. It has its own power source in case of power cuts. Property Owner

  The standard of facilities, furnishings and cleanliness are first rate. The heating and log burner make the house warm and cosy and the laundry room a perfect place for drying wet clothes and soggy doggies. The enclosed garden and secure parking is a welcome bonus and allows your dog a safe place to explore. The owner, who lives in the village, is very helpful and is available if required.

  Glenside was fantastic and just perfect for our stay. So many home comforts and everything was thought of, including a tumble dryer, dishwasher, coffee machine and even a spare dog lead (which we ended up needing to use one day!!). A lovely, cosy house which was warm and clean. Log fires and soft blankets to come back to after a long day walking in the English weather! We easily organised a food shopping delivery to save us travelling far too. The location was excellent, with plentiful walks right from the doorstep. As we were new to the area we did a bit of research first, but walked to Hill Top, Claife Heights and Lake Windermere viewing points on various days. Ambleside is only a short drive away so we also spent an afternoon exploring the beautiful waterfalls there, as well as Wray Castle. A wonderful stay in a beautiful house.We would love to return in the Summer

  It was in the perfect location in the countryside with a gorgeous outlook with plenty of space for us to relax in. The nearby Tarn we walked to several times from the house and via Far Sawrey was well worth a visit, with astounding views available. Being in a less populated area was exactly what we wanted and we found this a perfect launchpad for our daily trips. Hawkshead was often the perfect ending spot for these, particularly the ice cream shop :P We visited Keswick, Grasmere, Ambleside, Coniston, Bow on Windermere and was really amazed at the scenery around Blea Tarn, where we drove over a hill after visiting it and our jaws dropped at what we saw around the corner. The views were something wehad only ever read about and never thought we would witness. Brilliant location which enabled us to have the best break possible.

  We love this property and the area. On the Monday of our stay we woke to no hot water and the boiler was leaking onto the electrics. We alerted the owner as we were going out for the day and had placed a container to catch the water and keep it away from electrics. The owner was unwell but said she would send someone round later. We were not back till much later and don't know if someone came round as no message was left or text received. She also mentioned a ‘tricky guest’ from the week before so we did not want to ‘hassle’ her. We continued to have issues with no water in the morning or afternoon so resorted to boiling the kettle for face cloth washes etc. Of course we could’ve contacted the owner daily but had no correspondence to check if everything ok. On the Friday we alerted the owner that there were still problems. Someone did come to look and a part had to be sent for so that would be Monday! We were checking out on the Saturday which meant we didn’t shower before leaving and made it difficult for us to wash up etc ........ I realise that the time of year was unfortunate (but we do pay a huge premium to book at this time) - when we have booked with Coppermines, who managed the property we stayed at their engineer were sent out immediately to investigate a gas leak. We realise the Sykes do not manage the property but perhaps it is something worth considering and then the owners don’t feel pressured at Busy times of the year.

However we did have some niggles: There was no hot water on the first morning, until we'd consulted the house book, but we expected that it would have been left on for us. It took us several days to get warm [it was -2 at night] and the heating was set to switch off at 9 p.m. We did light the wood-burner and fire but that didn't help in the bedrooms. There were no mirrors in the bedroom so it wasn't possible to dry hair in front of a mirror. There was a wall mirror in the bathroom but positioned so high I could only see the top of my head! [Admittedly I am shorter than average.] There was a shaving mirror but not suitable for hair drying in the bathroom. Also the coat hooks were set so high my husband had to jump up to attach the coats. The 'welcome page' of the house book included directions for departure, we were instructed to strip the beds on departure, which we don't mind doing but felt we might have been invited to do that rather than be presented with that expectation on arrival. We do appreciate that the turnover time isn't long to clean and prepare the cottage for the next guests. Although I'll say 'yes' to publishing feedback I'm not happy that the niggles are included.
