• "This is our second stay at Ghyll Cottage!"

  It’s a fabulous cottage that has everything you need, a real home from home. The garden is perfect if you have a dog, the house has been completed to a very high standard. After a days walking to return to Ghyll Cottage is a treat! The bed is so comfortable and linen is high quality. The village is so friendly and lots of places to visit and explore near and further afield. Looking forward to returning. Thank you Liz and Brian.

  Thank you so much for a fantastic review...look forward to you returning soon xx Property Owner

  The beds were so comfy and the sofa's great for relaxing on after a long day exploring this beautiful part of the country. So nice to have walks from the door the views were amazing. All in all this was a five star holiday for us thank you so much.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ghyll Cottage."

  It has been finished and presented to an incredibly high standard (even with The White Company linen!) and decked out with everything you might need (including an extensive cutlery drawer). The master bedroom has a super kingsize bed which we had the best sleeps on, and are looking to buy ourselves. The garden is a great size for a dog. The property is located in the very quiet and pretty village of Leasgill with easy access to routes for walks and runs, and only a 10 mins drive to Milnthorpe for Booths etc. We highly recommend the Hare & Hounds for great 5* pub food, Sue's van for a breakfast roll and No 3 Curry House.

  Thank you for your lovely review….so glad you enjoyed it Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage which has been decorated to a high standard throughout."

  It sits in an ideal location, slightly away from the main busy tourist areas but with a car, many of the visitor sites in the Lakes can be reached with ease. There is parking off road for two medium size cars. The enclosed garden in this case is enclosed (I have been to a few which say they are but are not and with a very energetic dog who can jump certain heights with ease, this can be a worry). There is a Booths food store nearby and fabulous butchers as well as many places to eat out.

  Our little border collie had a fabulous time, with a hot bath on return from our 15 to 20 miile walks; all set off from within a few miles drive of the cottage. The set up of the cottage meant it was easy to keep everything clean and stress free. I love cooking; amazing kitchen with everything you might need. The wine fridge was well used...we are looking to install one at home! Plus Booths supermarket and Milnethorpe is walkable and has great produce. Cosy, top class accommodation, top class location with so many options for walks. We were warm, relaxed , happy and could have stayed forever. Communication with the owners easy. Will be looking at going back very soon.

  The large modern kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the other rooms were attractive and very comfortable. But the situation is not as peaceful expected - position is right on a road, and the A6 is very audible in the garden. We were also put off by all the warning notes inside the cottage, and would prefer not to have been told that previous guests had left the place in a terrible state.

  The cottage really is fantastic . There are not enough superlatives to describe it . We have stayed in a number of cottages all over the UK and we all agreed this is by far the best !The attention to detail is second to none - it really is 5*. It is spotlessly clean and every thing that you need is there . We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the village and went prepared - Milnthorpe is a drive away for emergencies but we recommend that you stock up , shut the door , enjoy the elegance and cozy up by the fire! The Lake District crowds seemed a hop skip and jump away ! We really felt we had the best of all worlds .

• "The best cottage we’ve stayed in as far as comfort, cleanliness and look."

  We did wish there were less signs around the cottage remind us not to do something. While we appreciate keeping the cottage in mint condition, the signs are constant reminder that we have to be aware and careful about what we do or don’t do. It’s not as relaxing when we have to be so alert about everything in a holiday cottage. Also, while it’s a dog friendly cottage, the rules in the folder includes no dog in any carpeted areas. Which means, anytime we want to relax and have a fire, or just enjoying time with the family, our little yorkiepoo can’t be with us and have to be told to stay out. We weren’t aware of this when we’d booked it. Maybe a gentle reminder in the booking site just so people are aware? Overall, the nicest cottage we’ve stayed in. Many thanks!

• "I had e mailed Sykes on 23rd September 2020 to ask if we could take 2 dogs and was advised on 24th September 2020 by Rachel you would contact the owner in regard to the requested week."

  I was told I could then book this. We arrived on Friday 18th June and everything fine. On the morning of Saturday 19th June I received a text from the owner saying only allow one dog. I found where the owners lived but they were out so spoke to their neighbours. Some 30 minutes later I rang the owners and was able to reconcile the situation of which she could not remember saying OK for 2 dogs and stay, however we offered to leave, pay bond and asked if the owners wished to make a daily property inspection. I advised the owners of evidence from yourselves of the 2 dog request and contacted yourselves on the 19th June but have been ignored. This situation put a dampener on the holiday and it was my wife's birthday on 21st June. The owners have since sent a text saying thanks for leaving it clean and we could go again. I feel our credibility has been doubted and am more disappointed with Sykes lack of response.

  We had been looking at multiple listings before choosing ghyll and we’re so happy we did. It exceeded all of our expectations, it was immaculate on arrival and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook anything we wanted. The fact we could bring our little dog lola with us was also a bonus, she absoloutely loved running around the large garden area (even in -2 weather conditions). Liz & Brian were always on hand to help with any requests, i honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back next year!

  It had everything we needed and more for our short stay. We particularly liked the modern furnishings and the log burners. The beds were extremely comfy. Also a real bonus that the cottage was dog friendly. Ample parking and access to the property perfect for muddy wellies and boots, and animals, after a wet outing! The weather was very intermittent, so unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the outdoor facilities, but I can imagine it is great for al-fresco dining on a sunny day. The cottage is located perfectly for all the lovely surrounding areas - the scenery is stunning. Windermere is roughly a 20 minute drive from the property and Grange-over-Sands about 15 minutes. Should our stay have been longer, we would have loved to explore further afield. Thank you for our welcoming treats - the homemade jam was delicious. We would recommend this property without hesitation for a family visit or with friends for a short or long stay.

• "We have stayed in a few Sykes properties so far, all have been excellent but Ghyll Cottage is the best by a long way."

  This was everything we could want of a cottage - its transformation has been well thought through - it is modern with clean lines and tastefully decorated and furnished, yet it maintains the feel of a homely cottage inside and still has its heart. We were 2 people down due to their local lockdown, the cottage easily has ample room for 6 people though. Everything was pristine and sparkling clean. The storm porch entering into the boot room/utility room and loo is so clever, so no muddy shoes or wet coats in the living areas. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, leading to a snug. In the large dining room and lounge, the log burners are a lovely touch. Upstairs, the bathroom and en suite shower room are well appointed and luxurious. The beds are supremely comfortable with high quality bedding - we slept like logs. Each bedroom has a large built in double wardrobe. Lighting is excellent with lots of well placed power points. The hosts were friendly and helpful and we were greeted with a little hamper comprising tea, coffee, milk, eggs and delicious jam made by the owner. We are feeling spoilt and sad to leave - we will be back (hopefully with the missing members of our party!)

• "Ghyll Cottage is a fabulous place to spend your holiday."

  The cottage itself has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard and is very comfortable. We didn't have the need to use the log burners but I imagine they will make the house very cosy in the winter months. Plenty of room with different areas to spend time, high quality fixtures and fittings throughout and everything you need for your time there. The garden is a lovely area to sit out in if you have the weather which we were lucky enough to have. Our only comment here would be that it needs a gate at the entrance to the garden. I'm sure this could be easily rectified making the garden fully enclosed and dog / child safe. The rest of the garden is fully enclosed with either a wall or fence. We managed fine as our dog is old and not quite the escape artist she used to be but you may need to keep an eye on younger more adventurous dogs, (or use the wheelie / recycle bins as a temporary gate as we did). The location is great for visiting that side of the lakes with really easy access. Milnthorpe, just 1 mile away, has pubs, shops and a supermarket. All in all a lovely cottage and highly recommend a stay here. We will certainly stay again in the future.
