• "We had a lovely stay here at Coachman’s Cottage."

  The cottage was fully equipped with all necessities and felt like a home away from home! The site it is located on is so peaceful and we enjoyed evening walks around enjoying the quietness and the wildlife. The owner was very quick at responding for key collection and for a question we had during our stay! Would recommend to anyone looking for a break in this area!

  Thank you very much for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed the peace and beauty of the site and the cottage. All the best Bridget Property Owner

• "We loved the property."

  It was comfy and cosy. The setting by a duck pond is lovely, and must be even nicer in the longer, warmer days when you could sit outside to admire the view. The only issue was with the TV. However it was dealt with by Sean (who drove out on a cold, dark night to our aid). immediately it was reported. Cartmel is full of pubs and eateries of all types, and there is a very useful shop that provides most things including wood and sticks for the wood burning stove.

  Thank you so much for your feedback and I’m very glad you enjoyed your time at the cottage and the surrounding area Best wishes Bridget Property Owner

  . We stayed over Christmas and the cottage was cosy / warm and peaceful . . Pefect for couples or family as had 2 bedrooms . . Liked the fact you could drive up and unpack car before parking in own space . . Also liked the seating arrangement in lounge area . . Actually there was nothing we didn't like . . Christmas day we saw the kingfisher outside the window perched over the pond and after 4 days nearly got the Robin eating out of our hands . . So relaxed we could of stayed longer . . Cartmel is a lovely village minutes away to have a drink / meal and Grange had a lovely park and walk along sea front . .

  Thank you so much for your positive feedback back - how lovely that you saw the kingfisher! I’m glad you spent a relaxing Christmas at the cottage. All the best in 2025 Property Owner

• "The cottage was freezing on arrival, it took 2 days to warm up."

  There is a slope from the kitchen down to the bathroom and bedrooms, a grab rail is necessary for older people. It’s a long way to the allocated parking space and in the dark it feels uncomfortable. A much better torch is needed or should be suggested to bring with you. There isn’t an outside light, a dusk till dawn light is absolutely necessary. Everything is very low, bed, toilet and sofas. Important information if you are taking an elderly person with you. On a positive note, everything was clean, the towels are lovely and soft. Plenty of hot water. The cottage is tastefully decorated and very much in keeping. A great stay.

  Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your feedback. I’m so sorry if the cottage was cold on arrival. We certainly always aim to have the heating turned up for guests so it’s cosy on arrival so I’m not sure what went wrong there. My instructions were to have the heating turned up for you and everything warm. I have the slope painted with an anti slip paint and it’s only been done again a few weeks ago so it should have been safe to walk down. Thank you for your suggestion. The outside light is out of my hands. There is one there but the bulb has gone and the management of the park have got it ordered but it’s not arrived yet. I had hoped it had been replaced in time for your visit but obviously it hadn’t been. So I am very sorry about that. Wishing you both all the best Bridget Property Owner

• "Very peaceful location close to Cartmel village."

  Stunning scenery. Coachman’s Cottage is lovely, Comfortable beds and sofas and everything you need for self catering. We even saw a Kingfisher dive into the pond which made our day. My only niggle there was no Wi-Fi connection in the main bedroom, not a huge issue but could easily be remedied with a booster kit. Highly recommended.

• "Cottage peaceful but didn't realise it was in a complex with chalets."

  Parking OK for cars but tricky for larger vehicles. Good quality fixtures & fittings. Lovely beds but main bedroom a bit cramped. Cottage a bit fusty but plenty of heaters around. Are not normally asked to strip beds in Sykes cottages. Very impressed that Sean came round immediately when we were having problems with the TV.

  Thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding the parking - as mentioned in the welcome email - there is another area for parking very close to the cottage with plenty of room for larger cars. Off road and free. All the best Bridget Property Owner

  Location great and walkable into Cartmel in 15 mins. Only addition we’d suggest if it could be accommodated would be the addition of a freezer, or even a fridge with a small freezer section, when staying for a 3 or more days this would be helpful especially if you want ice cream with your sticky toffee

  Cottage was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. Comfy beds and scenic countryside surrounding us. Having a warden on the site was also very helpful. Doorway leading to section where bathroom and bedrooms are is low, which may cause headache for taller people. As long as you remember to mind your head, you're fine. Pleasantly beds were long enough even for 6 foot+ Many thanks!

  Parking easy. Good directions, easy and convenient collection of keys. Not a very safe road to walk along into Cartmel in the dark, for a drink or a meal, but it’s easy to park in the racecourse, next to the town centre. One comment for visitors, if you come in the winter as we did, bring your slippers and the floors are tiled or stone in the living room, kitchen and bathroom.

  The owner clearly has thought this out and made it a real home that is cosy and catered for all. The cottage is in fine decoration and the sofas and beds are extremely comfortable. It is quiet and relaxing and plenty to see and do without having to travel too far. You are situated as an apartment within a bigger overall building and the garden is not exclusive so not exactly private but it has been very well done. We can recommend this cottage and would stay again no question, thank you.
