Price Match Guarantee

If you find a cheaper price anywhere online, we’ll refund you the difference.

Price Match Guarantee

If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.

Conditions:

The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.

The other offer is cheaper than your Sykes’ booking when you ignore all optional extras on both and all vouchers, discount codes, gift cards, loyalty, reward or other type of membership or repeat business schemes and any generic promotion on the other offer.

Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.

This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.

How to claim:

Send the evidence we’ve asked for above to pricematch@sykescottages.co.uk along with your booking reference.

Near Howe

Near Howe is a collection of wonderful holiday cottages set in the scenic Mungrisdale area of The Lake District National Park, just outside of Troutbeck. Near Howe was once a working farm dating back to the 1800's, perfectly placed with spectacular scenery from every angle. The panoramic views are a sight to behold, offering the perfect viewpoint of the surrounding mountains, including Saddleback, Sharp Edge and beyond. The old farm buildings surrounding the charming open courtyard have been expertly transformed into seven generously sized, individually designed self-catering holiday cottages, preserving much of their original appeal and character. Each cottage on the grounds offers guests fully-fitted kitchens and bathrooms, access to the shared gardens, shared laundry facilities and free parking for 15 vehicles, along with EV charge points. Furry friends can enjoy the free to use fenced field, ideal for fun and games in the sunshine. Mungrisdale village is 1.5 miles away, with a pub and weather dependent tea shop. Keswick, Penrith, Pooley Bridge all within a 20-minute drive. The cottages overlook Blencathra and Souther Fell, which are walkable from the cottages and on the Coast to Coast Cycle route. Troutbeck, near Penrith in Cumbria, boasts a long history deeply connected to its Lake District setting. The village's origins trace back to Norse times, evident in its name, which derives from Old Norse—"Trout" for the fish and "Beck" for stream, reflecting the area's abundant trout-filled waterways. Historically, Troutbeck was a rural farming village, with its economy heavily dependent on sheep farming and agriculture. Its rugged landscape and proximity to key mountain passes made it a vital stop for traders and travellers throughout the centuries. The village’s location in the Lake District turned it into a favoured destination for walkers and tourists, exploring the surrounding fells and lakes. Over time, Troutbeck evolved from an agricultural centre to a tourist haven, renowned for its scenic beauty. Historic inns, like the Troutbeck Inn, have long been central to the village’s tradition of hospitality, offering rest to travellers visiting local peaks such as Blencathra and Helvellyn. Despite its growth, Troutbeck retains its peaceful, picturesque charm, blending its agricultural heritage with its role as a serene retreat in the Lakes.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
