"This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay."
The location and views were superb; the accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming and everything had been done to make us feel at ease there. Swimming in the quarry was so peaceful and again, just beautiful. We had an amazing weekend and will be back, hopefully for longer next time.

"We stayed as a a family of 6 to celebrate my 30th birthday."
I couldn't have imagined a better place in the lakes than Casa Loma. Everything from the location, views and the house itself was perfect. The rooms were spacious, especially the really impressive master bedroom. The woodwork all around gave it a really homily feeling and the kitchen was amazing for food enthusiasts like us. The stay was absolutely perfect and we'll definitely return in the future. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

"We had a fantastic stay here."
The dive centre were friendly and really helpful - they lent us masks, snorkels and goggles and wetsuits for the kids.
The water was clean, with a great option for outdoor swimming in a safe environment.
House was well equipped with a great garden and we made good use of the barbecue.
Kitchen was well equipped and the house has everything you need - we ended up going out much less than we expected as we had everything we needed at the house.

The place is lovely and has great facilities. We chose the property for its proximity to the Lake District. After each day out we looked forward to enjoying the evening overlooking the lake from our temporary home.
Thank you. Glad you liked it very much

"We had a wonderful stay, the house is lovely and very near to A roads and the m6 so perfect for travelling around."
We thought it was a shame the outside woodwork wasn’t better maintained, it’s a lovely house in a beautiful location which we would recommend.
The kitchen was lacking in a few things eg measuring jug, garlic press, no pint glasses, Pyrex bowls etc. These are just small things though which didn’t detract from our holiday
Thank you.

"Cottage was very cold the first 3 days as the heating wasn't working."
And the temperature was controlled by the adjoining cottage next door. Gas engineer came out and increased the temperature and it helped a lot.The electric socket for the TV in the main downstairs room is dangerously damaged and should be repaired without delay. When it rained the roof was leaking inside the downstairs bedroom leaving it with a musty smell, apparently the owner was aware of this but we wasnt advised beforehand. Also there was no dvd player provided even though there was a shelf of Dvds in the games room.We were told one was going to be brought to us but it never came. Despite all this we still enjoyed our time at casa loma. The cottage had a lovely fireplace, beautiful living room with panaramic windows overlooking a lake, spacious bedrooms with ensute bathrooms or shower rooms, and generally very well equipped, however lacked a small basics such as pen or dishwashing sponge.

"Casa Loma was a real home-from-home."
We felt relaxed and welcome the minute we walked in. The welcome provisions were a lovely touch, the furnishings so homely and the beds so comfortable. Being able to swim in the lake was a real bonus, the staff there were friendly and welcoming too. Having Harry next door was great, we loved the walk that he recommended along the canal. Thanks for a great week.

"The property is beautiful with a stunning view of the quarry and all the amenities you could need."
Swimming in the quarry every day was lovely, the water is crystal clear and the staff at the dive school were friendly and helpful and leant us wetsuits. The welcome pack from the owners was much appreciated. There were 5 adults and our dog and there was plenty of room for us all. We had a fantastic holiday and I'd definitely recommend Casa Loma.

"We enjoyed ourselves at Casa Loma for my 60th birthday."
The property is lovely, spacious and has everything you need. The outside space was lovely in the sun and great to look over the lake with people swimming and diving. Kitchen had everything you needed and more! The welcome pack was fab, thanks so much. Only issue we had was we couldn’t get the tv’s in the games room and 2 bedrooms to work, kept saying no signal and no instructions (didn’t try tv in master bedroom). Overall would recommend staying here.

"Excellent property - thank you."
This is our second time, and it was as good as we remembered. Two small suggestions about kitchen improvements. 1. The grill (left hand side of the oven) has shelf supports at the front but not the back. This means it is unable to support a grill pan or other that is fully inserted into the oven, without the grill pan tipping over. This means the grill is difficult to use and potentially dangerous. 2.The oven is quite narrow. It would be good to have one more pan that can fit in the oven. The baking tray only fits in longitudinally, and that means it the back (over the flame) starts to smoke. There is one roasting dish that fits but another would be v useful. Thanks again - I think we will be back!

"Lovely large house in a very quiet and peaceful spot, the photos don't do it justice."
The kitchen was very well equipped and the owner left a very generous, good quality welcome pack for us which was much appreciated. Lovely bedrooms all with modern en suite walk in rainfall showers. The back garden was a real sun trap and very tranquil with views over the lake. An added bonus was watching the Peregrines nesting on the cliffs right opposite us. All in all a wonderful place to stay, highly recommended.

"We are just back from 3 days at Casa Loma."
Communication with Sykes was excellent - we booked at short notice and our last-minute request for all the beds to be made up as doubles was processed. On arrival we received a warm welcome from Harry who was in the process of dropping off fans to the property due to the extremely hot weather. He also quickly organised a parasol for us at our request.
The location of the house is unusual – it overlooks a lake in what was formerly a quarry. The lake is used by the neighbouring diving school which means that throughout the day there is the added interest of watching divers and swimmers. We took up the offer of borrowing wet suits at the diving centre and went swimming – a great experience, especially in the hot weather.
The house is clean, spacious, comfortable and finished to a high standard. The cinema/games room is a bonus. The outdoor area is lovely and is equipped with a barbeque, patio heater and comfortable seating / dining furniture. There is no shortage of things to do in the local area but we spent a lot of time in and around the house.
The accommodation is not cheap to rent but this is reflected in the standard of accommodation, the complementary access to lake swimming via the diving school and attention to detail such as the generous welcome pack. So, all in all we were very happy with our 3 days at Casa Loma and as well as being extremely relaxing we felt it was a bit out of the ordinary.

"Lovely cottage."
Very well appointed with great facilities. The people at the Diving Centre couldn't have been more helpful, even for those of us just going in for a swim. (They lent us wet suits and other kit).
The cottage is in an area we hadn't explored before but there are lots of lovely places for wet and dry weather within 30-40 mins drive. We hope to come back!
