"The cottage was lovely in a fantastic location."
It was perfect for walking while being convenient for local shops and places to eat out. The kitchen was well equipped, the Wi-Fi was reliable and the garden nice to sit out in when it wasn't raining.
Our only complaint is that there should have been a non-slip bath mat in the bath to make using the shower safe. It would have been nice to have some hand soap and a towel in the kitchen.
The stairs are very steep and there is a step between every room which it would be useful to mention in the description.

The view from the garden is wonderful. The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The whole place was very clean and comfortable. The only criticism is the summerhouse could do with a little TLC. We had a wonderful stay and definitely will be back. Thank you

"The cottage was very well placed close to amenities including pubs, cafe's and shops."
The interior could do with a bit of a refresh but was clean and comfortable. I would be inclined to get a plumber in to add a pump to improve hot water flow and put some new bulbs in the kitchen which is very dark when trying to cook.

"Great property, will be looking at booking again."
One thing to note, the wall behind the shed has collapsed and therefore a dog could get out, it will need either rebuilding or fence extending.

"Lovely cottage full of character & fantastic location."
A small issue with garden that behind shed our dog could have easily climbed over the wall & got out. We found a solution though & it didn't alter a very enjoyable stay. Previous comment about the gate has now been fixed with new secure gate which was appreciated.

"A lovely cottage in our favourite village, everything required for a family holiday to The Lakes was provided."
Very clean, extra duvets if needed and lots of reading material!!
Internally the only downsides for us were the small, metal framed, double bed, just not big enough for a good nights sleep and a little noisy. We also didn’t get very comfy in the two two seaters, footstools would help!!
Externally the garden was a huge draw, so pretty but on arrival we noticed it needed a new back gate and did worry that the dog may get out so just went out with her and no issues. She loved it as did we.
I’d highly recommend this property and would be happy to return.

"House was really nice, pretty much perfect for what we needed."
Very clean, warm and comfortable. Great location. Plenty of information to help us on our holiday.
The only point which would be good to address is there were a couple of bits in the garden where I felt it wasn't 100% secure for dogs however potentially the recent weather might be the cause of this.
The gate leading to where the cars are parked was broken and not lockable and behind the shed, there was a section of the wall which potentially a dog could jump over. It looks like this was attempted to be fixed but I would suggest needs to be made a bit more secure.
Other than that it was a very nice stay. Thank you :)

This was the 2nd time we had stayed here. Gorgeous cottage with a dog friendly enclosed garden. Stunning walks from the doorstep .
Accurate to listing. Warm, bright and airy. Wood burner in the cosy lounge……although we didn’t actually light a fire due to the warmth of the cottage.
Kitchen has everything required to cook in house.
Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return.

"Lovely cottage, well equipped and to a high standard."
The fully enclosed rear garden was perfect for our dog, no chance of escape. We visited in January and it was nice and warm. Good WiFi throughout, and decent broadband speed (40Mb). Good 4G signal on Virgin / Vodaphone / EE, but no signal on Three / ID. Glenridding is a great base to explore the fells, and just the right size for us. It's big enough to have a few shops and pubs but not overdeveloped or too touristy.

"Absolutely gorgeous little cottage which suited us perfectly."
Had everything we needed to cook our own meals but a super pub up the road for food . Totally enclosed garden for the escape artist dog.
Took firewood and coal but despite the time of year, the cottage was warm enough without lighting a fire.

Full of cobwebs and a rug on the floor that I wouldn’t even let my dog walk on. Really not the standard I expected having used your services in the past. Also need to make dog owners aware that the garden is enclosed but not secure enough for an adventurous dog. Could easily be fixed with some proper fencing.

"Had a great time the cottage was perfect for our needs."
Only improvements could be on two issues; sykes information was that we had to leave the cottage at 10 AM on departure day but the owner informed us, by a note, that we had to vacate by 9AM in order to deep clean. Whilst we understand this need, consistency of approach would be appreciated to reduce the slight tension at the end of the holiday about when we were supposed to vacate the premise. The cottage says that waste for recycling was not collected but had to be taken to recycling centres, a minor inconveniencebut whilst we were there we saw that the local authority did collect recycling and wondered why this wasn't done from the cottage (ie if it was a cost issue). Even so I would have preferred to have recycling collected. As it happened we only made one trip to a recycling centre and on the day of the departure, the cleaner, a very pleasant lady called Beth volunteered to dispose of our recycling.
