What our customers say about their holidays
Keith - Verified booking
Very good location and well appointed house and rooms.
Cleanliness good on arrival with the exception of the kitchen bins which had had the new bin bags placed on top of waste at the base of the bins, one of which leaked and had waste below that on the unit itself. We had problems with two bedroom sinks - one jammed shut, one with a plug that would not close. Both were sorted by Sykes quickly after the BH weekend and the owner helped here. The shed has its door blown off and was lying on the ground and the outside table umbrella had been left on the ground outside - dangerous in high winds. Otherwise the kitchen was very well appointed and with excellent supply of utensils, plates, cutlery etc. The fan over the cooker never worked though. The furniture, beds and paintings in the rooms were of high standard and very comfortable. The WiFi worked excellently. The outside security lights were permanently on after dark - irritating but not a big issue. We let the owner know but they remained on all week. Our main complaint having stayed at many Sykes holiday homes was the information left for us on arrival. The information book / folder was definitely the worst one we have ever had. The pages fell out, there was very little information in it and you felt that the owners and Sykes did not care much for helping us on our arrival. The instruction booklets for appliances etc were crammed haphazardly in a drawer and included many duplicates and many for appliances that did not exist. There were no instructions for the cooker hood fans and lights. There was no indication of what to do with the bins or when the outside bins were emptied. And the bins were 200 yards from the house so needed in the weather a full dress up and trek to access, often in pouring rain. Very poor indeed and showed a lack of care and thought. Something easily rectifiable and if done well makes a big difference. But the property is exceptional, great garden and lawn area and the rooms very good. You just should make more of an effort on a welcome pack, good instructions and good information. Outside the kitchen exit to the front drive side of the house there is a loose slate on the step that if stepped on could cause a fall or injury. Needs rectifying.

It's a great house with very large rooms and lots of en-suite so really suits a family or group of friends.
The views are spectacular and very close to lots of walks. Slight downfall is that it is right beside a road which is busy on weekends and during the day but quiet inside you cannot really hear the road noise. it's 2 miles from Keswick but walking the road to town really isn't a decent option, its very hilly and again beside a busy road. Outside there is a sitting area and when the sun is out it is really beautiful. I think there needs to be some clearer instructions regarding rubbish and recycling as it wasn't clear in the book. Would be nice to know when the recycling and rubbish was being collected (Only rubbish was collected when we were there for a week not the recycling). House probably needs a little more cleaning for me it's passable but looks like it can get pretty dusty and attention to detail needed. Having said that it was only when you look for the dust or lack of cleaning do you see it. Couldn't get the blue tooth speakers to work and needs a bit more info of how to do that. Wifi seemed to work fine (once we had the password as it wasn't the same as in the information as it was on the back of the routers). Having said all that we really enjoyed the place, the beds were comfortable and we slept great. Definitely worth a stay.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend at the old vicarage for a family birthday celebration.
The house is huge and was perfect for our group of 12 (aged from 5 to 71!). While we didn't get to enjoy the gardens (due to a storm while we visited), they were lovely and I'm sure would be great to spend time in and enjoy the stunning views on a drier day. The table tennis table was well used and came in handy given the inclement weather. The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you could need, and being open plan made it a great, sociable space. The living room is large, and whilst it has comfortable seating, it could benefit from a few small side tables to accommodate drinks. We were in 4 separate cars, and there was plenty of parking space. There is a bus stop nearby (less than 5 minutes walk), which we used to get the 555 bus into Keswick, which was much more convenient than battling to find multiple a parking spaces on a busy Saturday. A couple of our party got lost trying to find the accommodation using the postcode in their sat nav, so I would recommend using Google Maps to get directly to 'the old vicarage' as that didn't cause any issues! Overall, we would stay again and would recommend it to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful house.
It was spacious, warm and comfortable. The provision of fuel for the fires was generous as was the level of heating in the house generally. As for complaints, these were of a nature that I, as a landlord myself, would have expected the managing agents to have eliminated. As I wrote to Sykes, the toilet seat in the âSwanâ room was uncomfortably loose; in the same room one of the window blinds collapsed. I also informed Sykes that the microwave oven had broken down while we were there; I received no acknowledgement. In the dining room one of the chair seats was also loose. Presumably previous tenants filled one of the rubbish bins with bottles and another with paper; none of these bins had been emptied; we put our bottles into recycling bins at the farm. We were instructed that ash from the open fireplace was to be put in the bin at the back of the house; this was also full with no recommendations as to what then to do with the ash. The house was adequately cleaned, not more, possibly due to the previous tenants leaving the same day that we arrived; cobwebs were noticed in some rooms.

Paul - Verified booking
Great accommodation but thereâs a couple of easy things that can be done to improve guestsâ stay: 1.
Please provide large bath towels. 2. Guests are asked to strip the beds for you and place used linen (and towels) into the bags provided. We couldnât find the bags (Iâm sure you donât mean the black bin liners. Normally there would be a laundry basket. Buy a laundry basket please if you insist on guests doing this work for you). 3. Given the tasks you ask guests to perform you really need to have a later check out. 10:00 would do it. You can easily give guests an extra 30 minutes if you want them to undertake the above tasks for you (inc clearing ash from the fireplaces. You may want to add the proviso only if itâs cooled enough to do safely do so). We loved the remodelling and refreshing of the rooms on the ground floor. Itâs probably a work in progress but the downstairs toilet and shower look (and smell) pretty bad and are tiny. En suite in the new downstairs bedroom and extending the games area to the current toilet and shower area would be a vast improvement here. Thank you.
