  • "We found the house to be comfortably large, sufficient space to spread out so you could have your own space."

    The garden was lovely, Oliver would have loved it. The main issue we had was the upstairs floors, the floor boards are very loud, some are loose and outside them main bedroom they seriously dip causing a trip hazard. When anyone was up through the night the whole house was awake, very noisy when you were downstairs as well if someone was walking around upstairs. Main bathroom loo was also loose, meaning it was not used in case someone had an accident. Showers could do with slip mats so older people are not afraid of falling in the shower. These points need to be sorted so people paying to stay can enjoy a relaxing safe holiday. The main house was very comfortable facilities were great, the house was very spacious. We will not be going back however as the roads to and from the house are a nightmare, very narrow, but very busy, constantly having to reverse to try and locate passing points, not great when in a large car trying to pass tractors and HGV's.

    Hi Judith , Regarding your feedback we would respond as follows, The property is over 75 years old and we do have and would expect to have the odd creaking floorboard The cistern was slightly loose not the WC Pan itself and this has no been tightened and is fine, this would not have prevented the use of the WC. With regards to the slip mats for the three showers these were provided , however i have personally replaced all three with new ones as the one in question was missing. With regards to the roads and access to and from the property the main bridges to Underbarrow and Brigsteer from Kendal are currently closed for repair and as a consequence there has been a very slight increase in traffic in what is a very rural part of the Lake District where traffic is normally very light and infrequent. The cottage is located in the Lake District where tractors and farm equipment are common place so I would urge caution when travelling on these or any country roads. The roads in and around Underbarrow are not particularly narrow and indeed are capable as you suggest of handling HGVs and large farm equipment. Please be advised that your comments regarding the roads, are quite different to the multitude of other guests who have stayed at Ellerbeck Bridge and had wonderful holidays. Property Owner

    It was big enough that we didn't feel overcrowded with 5 adults and 3 children. The Black Labrador pub 2 minutes away was fab and really friendly. Simon the owner had phoned before we had arrived to say the cleaner had informed him of a problem with the TV. We checked this for him when we got there and confirmed. He had replaced it by the Saturday morning. All in all a lovely stay.

  • "The cottage is furnished to a good standard and its location is good for local walking, food and visiting."

    The American fridge let us down badly, reading 5 degrees on arrival, then 19 degrees by Tuesday. It was reported to Lakelovers on Thursday of our visit week, after noticing foods were no longer fresh, losing about £25 worth. No compensation and no feedback regarding maintenance visit!? Not what was expected! Bedrooms are nicely kept although the shower tray in the main bathroom kept filling up with water when showering. Does the filter need a thorough clean? The kitchen has a good range of utensils and the Harry Potter game and walking books were appreciated.

    Thankyou for your comments. with regards to the issue with fridge freezer having spoken with the maintenance team who attended the property they have informed me that no issues were found with the operation of the Fridge freezer . This situation arose once before and the reason was that the fridge door had not been closed properly and once the doors were closed the fridge returned to its set point of 5 degrees with this in mind i have now provided a label on the fridge to remind guests to ensure that they close the doors fully . We also have a second Smaller fridge next to the American fridge freezer which i assume you did not see . Apologies for the confusion caused and hope you enjoyed your stay at Ellerbeck Bridge Property Owner

    Scores would have been higher had this been rectified in timely efficiency manner.

    Apologies for the issue with the hot water which I believe was caused by a surge in the incoming water main pressure which affected the hot water pressure being unable to overcome the increased cold water pressure This has now been rectified by the installation of. Pressure regulator valve. Also with reference to the timings the hot water was only off for 24 hours. Property Owner

    Plenty of room for the whole family, who all loved it - including the dogs. Very clean, everything in really good repair and lots of thoughtful things (games, air fryer, washing machine and dishwasher) to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Really effective heating throughout, although we couldn't seem to set it to a constant level (our shortcoming) and there was always ample hot water.. Found the sofa and chairs in the living room too soft and low for our taste, otherwise no complaints at all. We were all agreed that we would happily return another time.

    There is everything you require for a great home from home property and the cottage is well equipped and well furnished. Had seen previous comments about the dishwasher not working, however the owners have now replaced this (in October 23) so it was brand new when we stayed! Bedrooms (and beds) are very comfortable and having more than 1 bathroom/shower is great. The garden area is lovely with lots of bird tables and feeders which were all full on our arrival (not sure whether this was from the previous guests or whether these are topped up by the caretakers!). The local pub is just round the corner and we can highly recommend! We did have one minor issue during our stay which I fed back to the owners directly and they responded immediately to say they would look into it. Overall this is a brilliant property and I would definitely book again if we were visiting the area in future.

    It didn't heat up. We noticed that previous guests had reported this fault too. All the TV's & aerial booster were off when we arrived. It was frustrating, no information was given but we found the switches eventually & the main lounge TV had someone's Prime account logged on which we couldn't log out of. Despite these frustrations we had a lovely time, the garden was great for the dogs & bbqs. Good information on local walks & the Black Labrador pub was excellent.

    Thanks for your feedback. The dishwasher heating element was faulty and was on a slightly longer delivery period than expected This has now been rectified. For some reason the incoming switch for the TV had been turned off. This has now been locked in the on position. With regard to the Prime account issue I can’t control this however I will get the cleaner to check this in future. We hope that you had a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing you again.

    Even the children loved this house. The fridge wasn’t cleaned properly neither the bath or filters in the showers which caused a back up of water. The filter in the dishwasher was also clogged with mould and food. We cleaned this ourselves. Other than that it is a great place to stay and after I asked if there were any family games in the property and were told no we had a great surprise of several boxes of games which we had plenty of fun with and we even managed to finish the Harry Potter impossible 1000 piece puzzle.

    Location was really gorgeous. Facilities just as advertised. Only slight complaint was that place required cleaning on our arrival. The worktop surfaces needed cleaned with wipes as we have young children and it didn’t look to have been done prior to our arrival. High chair could do with a top on it for balancing food. A small welcome pack such as bread and milk would have been appreciated as we had to go looking for these essential items as soon as we arrived. A stair gate would also be beneficial as we had to bring our own for top of stairs. Other than these issues which I do have to say we’re minor details the house was great. The pass for access to the swimming pool down the road was a really nice touch and kids loved it. We would definitely stay again and would happily recommend to anyone else.

    (Even though sadly, our French contingent couldn't join us, owing to the new restrictions). The cottage is so comfortable and cosy, always nicely decorated, and the layout, with two living rooms, suits larger, multi-generational groups perfectly. We absolutely love it there, and always have the best Christmasses! One thing I would mention though, which did impact on our stay a bit - the thermostatic valves on the radiators don't work, so the radiators have to be either off, or on full blast (almost too hot too touch). The house is therefore either cold, or far too hot. Thank you for your most warm welcome - the bottles of wine, chocolates and biscuits were greatly appreciated!

    It needs a little bit of freshening up in places. It would also benefit from a washing line to avoid people having to use the tumble dryer and using extra electricity. During our stay the microwave broke, which didn’t cause a massive issue but we notified Sykes cottages immediately but didn’t hear anything from them. I do find it disappointing that a cottage is advertised as dog friendly and then on arrival you are told they have to stay downstairs, if this is the case it should be made clear before booking. It is either dog friendly or it isn’t. Had a lovely week and really enjoyed our stay
