  On arrival I did struggle to find the cottage as we arrived in the dark but luckily some friendly locals helped.

  It did say space for 2 cars but not sure where you would have parked the other car but they have a small driveway for one car which was great. The front garden is big and enclosed for any dogs to roam. The cottage is lovely, it was immaculately clean and refurbished to a high standard throughout. The living room/ dining room is average size but very nice with a log burner, underfloor heating and a smart tv. The Wifi was excellent which was useful as I had poor mobile signal. The Kitchen was average size with high end appliances except for the kettle which probably needs replacing. They left a bottle of wine for our arrival which was a kind gesture so thank you. However no essentials like milk, tea or coffee etc so make sure to take your own. The downstairs bathroom was handy with a shower and toilet. The main upstairs bedroom had an ensuite bathroom with a hot and powerful shower and a TV also which was great. All the bedrooms were a decent size and really nicely decorated. Especially the kids bedroom which has been very thoughtfully decorated with bunk beds and lovely decor. We had a really lovely stay here. There is a co op a short walk from the cottage, a local pub and a railway station but thats about it however it is a lovely village with walks nearby. We drove out to many lovely places. I really would recommend this cottage. It was lovely and quiet as its link detached so no noise from neighbours. It is on a road but it's not very busy and I hardly noticed any road noise. Thank you so much to Judith and Zeke for a lovely stay. Me, my mum and the dog had a great time. And thank you to the cleaners for ensuring it was very clean throughout the whole property. This a lovely place to stay for a holiday in the Lakes and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a relaxing break.

  We were purposely looking for somewhere just outside the Lake District National Park as we know that offers far better value, is less congested, and yet is just as beautiful, and within easy reach of the parts of the park we wanted to visit.

  Rose Cottage fitted the bill perfectly, and we somehow knew that once we established that the owner runs her own B&B business elsewhere in the Lakes, every detail would be taken care of by someone whose own livelihood revolves around welcoming visitors. Lazonby itself and the surrounding villages are lovely and mostly peaceful, yet the road access to most busier parts of the Lake District is excellent. While the cottage is less than 10 minutes' walk from the railway station, lying on the famous Settle & Carlisle railway line, you do really need a car to make the most of your stay. We arrived as two family groups, and were able to park both our vehicles reasonably easily. We had an eventful time getting to grips with the cottage's hob and oven, but overall all of the appliances are excellent - probably more than most people will need on holiday. Another good touch was the plentiful supply of crockery and cutlery, as we find many holiday cottage owners only leave a bare minimum. The village's Co-op store is large and generally well-stocked, but you're only 20 minutes' drive from the town of Penrith where there are two large supermarkets, so keeping supplied isn't a problem. One minor quibble would be about the bedding supplied - this was probably fine for visitors at cooler times of the year, but in the main bedroom at least, is somewhat over-generous for the summer, and we were rather warm on most nights. A lighter-weight duvet as an alternative to the one supplied would be just the job!

  This is a nice, newly renovated cottage in the Village of Lazonby.

  Being so near the Railway Station means that you can leave the car at home and travel to Carlisle or Skipton (Leeds if you prefer) directly. It is also near Penrith and not that far to Keswick. There is an excellent Co-Op in the Village with helpful and friendly staff. The Midland Hotel has now reopened. Rose Cottage has many high spec features, it's a lovely cottage, so that I have only minor criticisms. The freezer needs to be accommodated into the Kitchen, going out to the garage is a real pain. The Village has many lorries going through it, some on their way to Bell's Bakery at the station, so the road can be quite noisy and busy. Yapping dogs and people talking loudly are sometimes minor irritations. On the whole great, and luckily no dog smells in the house. Not being a dog owner, you are spared the boring stories of how Fido loved to romp around the pretty garden etc etc.

  Firstly Barnoldswick is not in the Yorkshire dales, it is in Lancashire.

  Although near the Dales it is much nearer the beautiful countryside of Pendle parish. Accuracy of description is not Sykes strong point! Secondly my grade 7 refers to Sykes business practise (and not the cottage) as that is the question asked. Weavers View is one of the nicest cottages I have stayed in and I would happily give it a 4.5 to 5 star rating. Beautifully presented, warm and clean. The owner George was very welcoming and helpful during my stay and the many festive touches added to my Christmas experience. Ideally the little outside area would have a better outlook but not having a pretty view would in no way prevent me going again quite happily. A big thank you to George and Anne.

  Rose Cottage is absolutely gorgeous.

  It had everything we needed and more. The beds were so comfortable and the heating, including under floor, was sufficient that we did not need to use the log burner. There is a lovely garden with patio furniture that you can enjoy in good weather. There are games and dvd's provided which is a good thing as, Lazonby is an ideal location to reach the lake district, Carlisle, Penrith etc, but it does not have a lot of amenities. There is an excellent supermarket but unfortunately the pub was only open 3 nights and only did meals on 2 of those. Although there are excellent pub/restaurants within a short driving distance. I would definitely recommend this cottage
