  We generally enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge is nice but not very clean. Dog hair covered the carpet. We had taken several videos and ended up not wearing any socks or not placing anything on the carpet. The owner did send the cleaner back. She vacuumed the living room only but it was not a vacuum for pet hair and made zero difference. We also were unable to connect to the internet for the entire stay. We were told that we were connected - yes we agree that the tv was connected but not any of our personal tech. Again video to evidence we were using the correct passcodes but unable to connect. Sykes does not accept video evidence?? Sykes pretty much indifferent as the issue was allegedly between the owner for whom we had no contact information and us. The owner was away for a few days and on return did leave a complimentary gift which was nice but honestly we would have preferred clean carpets - as dog hair was on the sofa, cushions, and bed linen. I think obviously when changing the beds the quilts are placed on the floor?? My guess. Internet access (bar the tv) would have been nice.

  Thank you so much for such a wonderful holiday.

  This truly was a 'Cosy Cottage', perfect for us (2 adults + 1 dog). The information & communication regarding the holiday was absolutely outstanding. ALL information needed was provided, with clear instructions for everything. The cottage was beautiful, clean, tidy, cosy, well equipped, so peaceful and comforting. The cottage is located in beautiful Kirkby Lonsdale, which had everything we needed & more! The only concerns I had when booking was the parking + no garden. I was not sure how that would work for us, but I thought I'd try, and I'm so glad we did. The parking was not an issue at all. There were parking permits provided by the cottage with every bit of information needed with it. There is also green area's very close to the cottage which we were informed about to give our dog toilet breaks, which worked for us absolutely fine. Overall, our holiday was amazing & most definitely made perfect by this lovely little cottage. Thank you so much Allan & Michelle for making our first visit to the lake district a memorable one.

  We stayed in Cosy Cott 22-29th sept 23.

  Kirkby Lonsdale is a very Characterful village with good amenities. Cosy Cottg' is aprox 3 min stroll to Kirkby's main street & 5 min stroll to Booths supermarket. We especially appreciated the high standard of cleanliness, which so many holiday homes lack. It has a high standard of quality furnishings. However, as older people with back problems, we found the seating wasn't comfortable enough for us. The yard isn't pleasant enough to sit in, but was useful for dog toileting. We tried to put the little table up but it was too cumbersome to use and we missed eating at a table. The bed was comfie & was very clean!! The bathroom & shower are lovely. The things that let it down "slightly" for us: parking was hit and miss & sometimes further than we'd like. The bathroom needs a blind for privacy. It would be more comfortable with a small foot stool & rug in the lounge. But overall we recommend this cottg' it's small but very, very nice. 10/10 for hygiene. Thanks to the owners for a lovely stay.

  Amazing property, spotlessly clean with lots of little extras that made the stay extra special.

  We stayed as a couple along with my parents, the property was spacious, with everything you could possibly need with lots of local shops, eateries and pubs on the doorstep, it’s the perfect location. The stairs up to the property are a little steep and would benefit from a handrail at the top, but not too much of an issue. The weather was quite cold during our stay and the front bedroom was a little drafty around the window which is to be expected in a property of the age, but the bedding was lovely, warm and very comfortable, as was the lovely fire in the living room. I would highly recommend this property, we are already planning to come back in the summer to make use of the beautiful courtyard/ garden area. The hosts were really helpful, sending through details for parking and check in. Thank you for a lovely stay - 10/10!

  We stayed at Parkers Place for a second time in March 2024, having stayed the previous year.

  Again, we found the lodge to be very spacious and comfortable. We have been visiting this site for 15+ years and Parkers Place is one of the best lodges we've stayed in. I do feel though that the lodge needs a little TLC since our last visit. The patio area was extremely slippy. The bottle holder in the fridge had been removed (I assume broken at some point). A few of the kitchen drawers seem to fall off there runners if you pulled them out fully. The mattresses were a little too soft but this is a personal preference. These are all very minor things but could help to improve a stay at Parker's Place. The site is very quiet, safe and clean. I would definitely recommend the beauty salon and gym/pool. I would have no hesitation in booking again and plan to do so. Many thanks for letting us use your lovely lodge.
