• "Comfy warm cottage."

  Excellent location including good for buses. Lovely hosts with excellent communication, keeping in touch without being pushy and keeping us informed. We go away a lot and like to try new places but this is the first time we'd consider going back.

  There was a Pub that served lovely home cooked food, a bus stop and shop just a 5 minute walk from the property and easy access to the town and surrounding areas, we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking at booking a break in the Lake District.

• "We started the week with a warm and friendly welcome and was surprised how spacious the cottage was."

  Having unpacked and settled in we began to see how comfortable it felt. The cottage every well equipped and needed none of our own things. The bus routes run half hourly so the car wasn't needed the whole week and there are plenty of good walks in the local and wider area. All in all a wonderful stay and we highly recommend it.

• "Main areas were clean but when you moved furniture (in my case moved the bedside cabinet to remove the radio from the cabinet as we wouldn't be needing it) it had clearly not been subject to a clean for a very long time."

  The same with the curtain poles - as we closed the curtains we were met with a dust cloud. The shower cubicle needed a thorough clean - not inside the cubicle - on the outside, bottom railing. Having said all of that we didn't let this spoil our holiday - the cottage itself was very cosy and well equipped. The owners were very pleasant when we spoke to them and when they asked the first morning if we were ok (by email) and I replied it was a little cold, they turned the heating up a bit and we felt much warmer. Lovely garden. Parking was an issue initially but once we had a parking space we left the car there for the week and travelled by bus, so we didn't lose our spot.

  Thank you for feedback. We are sorry that Topiary Cottage did not meet your expectations but we are pleased that you found it to be cosy and well equipped. The heating is electric and it turned on via a switch on the wall next to the heater, it is thermostatically controlled. We turned on the heaters as soon as we could after you asked about them, they had been turned off. During the summer months the heaters may not come on because the ambient temperature is higher than the thermostat. The shower is cleaned both internally and externally.Sadly the exterior of the shower cubical has been damaged by a previous guest using an inappropriate cleaning product and a replacement shower cubical will be installed as soon as possible. We always ensure that there is a car parking space available close to the cottage. Property Owner

  The cottage is perfect to just relax in the garden by the river (if you get the nice weather) its in a great location and if you dont want to drive you can leave the car at the cottage and get a weekly bus ticket which allows you to hop on and off all buses and takes you all over the lakes. Great pub across the road seving nice drinks and food and a good farm shop in walking distance that do a nice breakfast. Gerry and JoAnne are great hosts and available to offer any advice if needed.

• "Ideal location for visiting The Lake District."

  The furniture in the property is a little dated and in some areas needs maintenance eg. the door on the glasses cabinet in the kitchen felt like it could fall off. The pull cord for the shower wouldn't allow you to switch it off, the red light is constantly on. The patio doors wouldn't lock properly. The tablet holder for the dishwasher doesn't close and the plug for the kitchen sink has no chain making it difficult to get out of the sink. Unfortunately, the main downside of the property is how unclean it was. There is lots of dirt and dust around the furniture and on the furniture. The runner around the shower doors was filthy. The cupboard under the kitchen sink smelt and was dirty. The wine holder unit in the kitchen, used for some tea cups, had bits of dirt/food in some of the holes. There is some mould around the freezer flap door of the fridge in the kitchen. The cutlery drawer had bits in it, possibly crumbs of food. The floors weren't clean and neither were the rug in the living room area or small mat in the bedroom. There was a mop in the utility cupboard in the shower room, which was absolutely disgusting. I don't know if this is what the cleaner uses, but if it is may explain why the floors were dirty. We felt we couldn't totally relax in the property due to it being so unclean. As there were so many areas with issues, we didn't feel able to speak with the owners as it would have needed a total thorough clean and some maintenance to sort everything out, which we feel should all have been in order before we arrived. We also feel the cost for the property was too high considering all of these issues and that we didn't feel comfortable or relaxed, which is what you expect on a holiday. We were very disappointed with this holiday cottage as a Sykes property.

  As owners we do not usually respond to guest feedback. We normally send a thank you email to guests privately. However, we were very surprised and disappointed with the above review. At no point during the stay did the guests mention any issues. We check with our guests from arrival and throughout their stay personally and via messaging. We always make sure guests are notified, that if during their stay, they require assistance or have any problems, to give us the opportunity to deal with issues as they arise by letting us know. We are here to ensure that guests have the best possible holiday. Property Owner

• "Just returned from a weeks holiday at this cottage Lovely setting, just off the main road, so therefore there is some road noise at times."

  The entrance driveway is quite narrow, so you have to be extra careful if you have a larger vehicle and the parking area in general is quite small. Considering its only a 1 bedroomed cottage, it does feel spacious and was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could want, the complimentary teas, coffee, milk and biscuits were a nice touch, The cottage overall was clean on arrival, except for the bathroom bucket which hadn't been emptied from the previous occupants It has various outside seating areas, which we were able to use due to the lovely weather we had and the views were lovely. A few niggles though, the bathroom cabinet is looking old and dated inside, the ironing board cover needs replacing, and I personally don't think a freezer in the bathroom cupboard is the ideal option. Saying that these didn't detract from the enjoyment of our stay It is ideally situated to visit many local attractions for walks and sightseeing trips and various buses stop in the village taking you to all the Lake resorts and beyond. The Watermill, Bar, Restaurant and Brewery is less than 5 minutes walk away and is definitely worth visiting, whether for drink, food or both. All in all a great place to stay, add to that really nice May/June weather, the perfect week was enjoyed. If we visit the area again, we would have no hesitation in staying here.

  Jo & Gerry we’re great in their communication, & flexibility. They went all out to meet & exceed our expectations. The cottage was tastefully decorated in Xmas decorations, lights & heating left on making it a cosy welcoming. High end furnishings gave it that extra luxury. I defy anyone who can make it out of that bed before 9am! The only little niggle, was the shower seemed to have a mind of it’s own. Apart from that you’d struggle to pick up on anything. The gardens of the cottage looked beautiful, as it was winter we didn’t get the full benefit. The location of the cottage is perfect for sightseeing. Close to Windermere and Bowness for shopping, pubs, etc & in easy reach of other locations around the South Lakes. We would definitely stay again!

  The owner, who lives next door, was most welcoming and helpful. It is ideally situated for travel and walking around that part of the Lake District, in particular its proximity to Lake Windermere. The only negative experience was that the road it is on is busier than expected, so the traffic noise impacted somewhat on the peace of the place. However, in relation to the many positives, this was minor.

  Decor lovely . There were a couple of downsides, the Cottage is right next to stables and they start quite early, not a major issue as we wake early anyway, but we do like to sleep with the windows open and there is a very noisy road that is busy all day and night. We were able to close the windows and use the fan provided, but this is just a personal thing, also the bed needs up grading it has a topper but it sinks in places and needs replacing. Otherwise lovely cottage !

  The cottage furniture had been considerably improved being replaced throughout the sitting and bedroom areas, excellent. However, why replace the bedroom furniture including the bed and leave a double mattress that it seemed to be so old that it sags in two halves? The other ponderable is why when the property depends upon a shower only, when opening the bag marked bath mat, you find something that is black and mouldy and feel sure if you use it, you will feel dirty having used it in the shower than not having a shower! This cottage without these anomalies would be great for use at short notice, if available, ie within 2hrs from home straight up the motorway, 106 miles, good location and pub over the road.

• "The cottage was lovely."

  Can't say the same about the weather. The owners were very nice and helpful. It was nice that it was a cottage that was free from animals and children. The location of the cottage was perfect for all places we wanted to visit.
