We loved the property — it’s in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by trees and birds. The views are stunning, and it’s just a short walk to the lake. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, and the living room is perfect for relaxing with a movie after a long hike. I also really appreciated that the house has two bathrooms and an additional toilet, which made things more convenient. We will definitely will back again.
The mattresses were not very comfortable, and each bathroom only had a single roll of toilet paper, which wasn't ideal for a family of six. I was also disappointed that the house did not have the “lake view” shown in the pictures — it was not what I expected.

Good location, between Anblesside and Winderemere. Lakes very close. property was clean, heating, warm water worked fine. parking for two cars front of cottage. Overall very good
Had to call Sykes cottages for the Wi-Fi password. Very Bad response time
1 day passed no response from whats app. called them following day they answered after 30mins of waiting after which they gave me the Wifi-password.
Suggestion. have the Wifi password displayed on the wall. Sykes Cottages need to improve response time.

Parking, large lounge, outside seating area. Comfy sofas. Massive master bedroom
Showers were boiling and very sensitive to any other water being used. En suite had big flakes of paint coming off the ceiling.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
More spacious than anticipated. Good location. Easy to find with the instructions provided.
Very dated interior. Not cleaned to an acceptable standard. Cobwebs & dust throughout the house. Bathrooms are grubby & mouldy, paint flaking, & toilets were difficult to flush.
Kitchen also quite dirty, lack of washing up scourer (which explains dirty glassware on arrival). No chain on sink plug - very awkward to pull out.
Expected better, particularly for the price.
I’d messaged ahead of arrival to ask a question which was never answered, also.
