"Very clean and kitchen well equipped, very quiet, good for relaxing."
there were a couple of problems, we couldn't use the fire( which we were informed about), the bathroom was downstairs which wouldn't have been a problem but I have a mobility problem and I found getting downstairs was difficult as there was no banister to help me. I had to go down on my bum. Also the key box was hard to find and as it was dark when we arrived we couldn't see the code numbers, we didn't have a torch.
It's a great property for younger people but not us pensioners.

"Such a lovely cottage!"
Yes, it's small, but that adds to the charm and it's a perfect size for a couple, or family with 2 small children. The property was very clean, and the owners provided detailed instructions on everything, from central heating to local facilities. It's in a good location for the southern Lakes, so much to do in the area - we may well book again!
Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you had a good holiday and we look forward to welcoming you again.

"Really lovely cottage."
Exactly what we were after - comfortable, convenient and with character. The owner kindly contacted us in advance to provide some useful details. We are a family of four and stayed with two kids (14 and 10), and the place was perfect for us. Well-equipped kitchen, fireplace, nicely set up living room, no issues with heating so we were warm, everything worked well.
It is in a nice village with a pub and easy to get to around Lake District, whilst also very easy to travel back especially if you are coming from the South.
We loved it and would stay again.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you again.

"This is our second stay."
We really enjoyed our week just as we did last time. The beds are comfortable, the shower is very powerful and the dishwasher is a bonus, as is the washer.
Parking right outside the door is another thing we like.
It’s just perfect for us and we will be back again.
Thank you.
We always welcome repeat guests and I'm glad everything worked out well for you.

"Disappointing
Could do with a good deep clean."
cobwebs in all rooms and mould in shower. We had to clean between the two seats of the leather sofa as there was a mixture of food, crumbs, hair etc.
Kitchen was ok and beds were comfortable, but the whole cottage needs some tlc.
Would not return.
Thank you for your feedback, I'm disappointed you weren't happy with the cottage. We work really hard to keep the place clean but it is a very old cottage and the spiders keep coming back! We have booked a deep clean and decor refresh for October.

Not really a good place for the fridge frezzer I kept smacking my head on the ceiling as I was under the stairs . It's a shame there is no where to sit outside as It was very hot outside last week .

"We had a lovely week at the cottage."
Everything we needed was provided, plenty cups, plates etc.
The beds were comfortable but we found the sofas quite uncomfortable if we sat on them for a while.
Very handy to park right outside the cottage.
The shower was very powerful and hot.
The only negative thing was the cobwebs behind the microwave so we cleaned this ourselves.
We would be happy to return.

"We had a lovely two week stay in Cragg Cottage."
It was in an ideal location, and reasonably priced too, for exploring the southern lakes and surrounding areas. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed in it for our stay, including WiFi, washing machine and dryer, a good shower and well equipped kitchen. We didn't experience any of the problems encountered by previous occupants - although the pillows were hard (again personal choice) and 13.5 tog duvets in the middle of the summer are always a challenge, but this seems to be the norm wherever we stay in the summer...
Thank you for your feed back. We appreciate your positive comments

"The kitchen is really nice and the back door."
But there’s an old musty green carpet, my partner had to hoover to try and take away the smell. The curtains and pillows are really old. The toilet doesn’t flush properly. There’s cobwebs up the wall and damp in the main bedroom. We had to book another accommodation after the first night.
We always take feedback seriously and we've spent the week working out how this could have happened, and rectifying faults. We're sorry the place wasn't up to standard. If you had contacted us or Sykes at any time during the week you booked we would have been able to put things right.
We have done a deep clean, a plumber has looked at the toilet and there are no traces of damp.
We complied with all your additional requests.

Only a couple of minor faults;
We had the feeling we were being watched when people walked passed the back door so we had the blinds closed all the time.
No wood starter kit for the wood burner and the instructions require reviewing.
All in all a nice place.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad the cottage worked for you and you had a good holiday.

I'm sorry about about the starter kit for the fire. We'll ensure this is done next time.

Would certainly recommend and stay again. Excellent value for money, the washing machine was bonus! Great character and features in the cottage, only quibble would be the pillows and sofas, as pillows were extremely hard and the sofas aren’t very comfy but you can’t please everyone and as an overall view, them points a side we had a fantastic stay. Thank you very much

The shower was dirty and the mattress on the double bed was stained very badly. Dead insects and dirty cupboards and draws.
It would appear Sykes Cottages do not read or reply to emails as I sent photos and an email yesterday before leaving the cottage. I will not recommend you or the cottage again.
Thank you for your feedback. The property has been updated with a new kitchen and the mattress has been replaced. We do have a very good cleaner but will ensure the cleaning regime is reviewed. Had you contacted us during your stay, we would have been happy to help with any issues. We have not received any emails from you at Sykes so will send one that you can reply to.

"We had a great week here at Cragg Cottage."
Even before we arrived we were made feeling very welcome.
The location is perfect if you want to venture out into the Lake District. Shops are also nearby. Having a parking slot just outside the Cottage is beneficial. And we had very fast internet as well. The only thing that I would change is having thicker curtains in the main bedroom.
All in all - fantastic stay and many memories made.

Lindale is a lovely village with a great local pub. We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage had everything we needed for a week away - good WiFi, lots of local walk recommendations, and a comfortable place to relax after a long day's sightseeing. We had some trouble getting the oven to work, but seeing as we mostly ate out this wasn't too much of a problem. The owners of the cottage were very helpful and were reachable via phone and email throughout our stay.
