What our customers say about their holidays
Neil - Verified booking
We arrived on the Friday (first day of stay) in the evening after a long drive via Poole from a family funeral.
On our arrival (around 8pm) we found that the boiler was not working. We then quickly attempted to put our little baby of 6 months old to bed in the cot, then found that there was NO cot in the property despite requesting this twice ahead of our booking. So, we had no heating and nowhere for our baby to sleep safely. I offered to my wife to drive us home, but we had already been travelling for over 7 hours so my wife decided to put a duvet on the floor and sleep as safely as she possibly could next to our baby. I was attempting to contact the 'out of hours' team at Sykes Cottages and Lakes Lovers but nobody answered. I left voicemails but didn't get a response. This was between 8pm and 8:30pm. I got two automated texts to say that somebody would be in touch within the next 20 minutes. We didn't hear anything. I was also on the phone to my friend who is a gas safe engineer who tried to talk me through getting the central heating boiler working. I video called him so that he could see the error messages on the boiler and he talked me through topping up the system and getting the boiler working again. We finally had heat albeit it took an age to get the old stone house anything near warm and comfortable. I woke in the morning various times as our baby was unsettled but also due to the glaring light directly outside of the main bedroom window - not helped by an almost translucent window blind in the bedroom. I noticed a missed call from an 01244 number, from 22:02. This was 2 hours after I had called on various out of hours phonelines. I am guessing that as it was Friday night the on call team must have all been in the pub! The next day we went to the rental office 'Lakes Lovers' in Windermere and told them of what happened on our arrival. They just seemed puzzled and said they would get a cot for us, with no sincere apology and no shock that my wife and 6 month old baby had to sleep on the floor in a cold house for the night. Quite unbelievable!! Around 3 hours later they dropped off a cot, and the gent said on delivery that "there should be one on top of the wardrobe so whoever should have put one there must have taken it out for some reason". This of course was not helpful, and still NO apology. We just left it there as didn't want to the weekend break (for my 40th birthday) to get any worse. The cottage was of poor quality and needs a full redecoration. From damp on the wall near the entrance door (due to obvious rotten/leaking gutters outside), to chipped skirting boards throughout the house, dusty floors around and under furniture (not great for baby on the floor), to a stained sofa. The cottage is neglected and I guess of the owner has ongoing bookings then they must be complacent and not bothered in the slightest. We have stayed in AirBnB before and never had the same issues like this with dog friendly accommodation. We stayed at a Sykes cottages rental in Symondsbury back in July this year and that was also dog friendly and also like living in a dog kennel for adults. It needs a full deep clean. Overall, totally dissatisfied and would not recommend this cottage to anybody. Apart from location and close to the lake, it was also very close (300 feet) to a booming night club that stayed open until around 02:00am. This was not mentioned on the booking site either.

Overpriced and underwhelming.
Firstly to clarify my wife and I enjoyed our break and the cottage was lovely and we did reflect this in the visitors book. However, the cottage is âconnectedâ to the tenant farmersâ accommodation so you can hear them âin conversationâ and âsmell their cookingâ which distracts from your perceived privacy during the stay. Previous feedback has commented on âfarm noiseâ which there was very little of and was quite pleasant when you could âhearââ the animals. However there are lots of âcomings and goingsâ throughout the dayâ¦.people calling at the butchers, various âseminarsâ and âexperience groupsâ visiting throughout the week. An example of this would be on our last evening sitting in the garden with a glass of wine when an amateur theatrical group turn up and start getting dressed up to start filmingâ¦.so overall hardly secluded and private. I have stayed at âholiday inn express hotelsâ where there is less âgoing onâ and have been more ârelaxedâ. With this in mind I would preferably pay far less to stay somewhere more âcommercialâ where you at least understand what youâre âpaying forâ. The cottage is beautiful with very good facilities e.g. bathrooms/showers etc but I think you would be hard pushed to âcomfortably accommodateâ six people in the lounge or cater for this number with the kitchen. The âfly in the ointmentâ for us was when we were asked if it would be okay for the decking to be removed and replaced in the âhot tubâ area at the side of the cottage, to which we agreed without fully grasping the impact this would have. The decking had apparently been there for 13 yearsâ¦so hindsight would suggest this could have been done at an earlier or more convenient timeâ¦during one of the many recent lockdowns perhaps? We realised the impact when the âjoinerâ knocked our door at 10 past 8 in the morning to âcheck that we were upâ so that he could start his chainsaw and start cutting out the old deckingâ¦..we opted to go out for a walk returning at half three to find this being âloadedâ into a trailer with the consequent âbackwards and forwardsâ this entails. On another evening we were âput offâ from using the hot tub due to a âload ofâââ¦yet to be used decking perched at the side of the building around it. Perhaps most disappointing of all, was on our day of leaving we had to be âclearâ of the cottage by 10 in the morningâ¦.but there was no one there to âhand over toâ¦.both tenants were out, one presumably working his farm and the other out in her van. Ironically there was (yet) another visitor going about the farm getting ready to go horse riding. If you are considering this cottage as an option it is a beautiful house with in a lovely setting, but is definitely a âbusinessâ attempting to generate income from several areas of which you are only one. If you are looking for âpicture postcardâ this may not be itâ¦.it wasnât for usâ¦.we just felt like we were there for the ârequisite weekâ before being âturned aroundâ for the ânext punterâ which may well be you. Definitely not worth the 2k plus that we paid. Disappointing overall.

We had a great stay, ideal location, so atmospheric and ideal for those who like to travel back in time and imagine themselves living in another reality like I do.
I wish I'd brought period costume with me but there was sadly no room in my case. Also my 14yr old brought me back to reality when the WiFi kept turning off and there were no instructions as to the location of the router. All it needed was to be turned on and off. Previous families have suggested updating the guest information book but I notice this hasn't happened yet. This would save guests having to bother the tenants. For anyone reading this it's next to the switch for the lamp on the landing behind the magnificent chest. The tenants were very helpful and friendly, very busy people but happy to help even when in the middle of a workshop. Also they do have bus loads of tourists (like us) attending on occasion so do look out for friendly Americans requesting to use the loo. Maybe a sign on the external toilet door for those guests would be helpful? Although, we were happy to oblige by allowing them to use one of the 3 bathrooms in the cottage as had no idea what alternatives there were beyond the flower bed or a bush! Also you never know when you might get caught short yourself! My only other point of concern was the abundance of fruit flies in the kitchen. This must surely be a season thing? The cottage kitchen was very clean. The cottage is by a stream (may be irrelevant!?) and I note the mesh on the front door of the tenants cottage. Perhaps such a measure might be considered at Yew Tree, although may spoil the old world charm for photos, would potentially stop the appearance of 20 dead flies in your wine. We made sure food was covered and the bin emptied at least 2 times in the week but still every morning it was fly armageddon in the kitchen and the hoover came out. The beds were really comfy, loved the large bath and the hot tub was fab after an evening swim in Coniston water or a long walk. All of this added to our adventure in the Lake District and I feel very grateful and privileged to have been able to experience such a special place with all its quirks and charms.

Awful, awful, awfulâ¦,avoid at all costs!
! One positive is location, itâs fantastic, right in the centre of town. There are many negativesâ¦everything is very worn and a bit grubby, the cottage is very tired and outdated, the main shower is awful, the beds are uncomfortable and the main bedroom needs a curtain. Now, none of that really bothered us too much, the main issue was the raw sewerage coming up through the downstairs toilet drain, flooding the downstairs toilet and running into the kitchen. The drains in the garden were overflowing with sewerage, itâs one of the most disturbing things Iâve ever seen. There was no way I was going to continue to stay somewhere that was flooded with untreated human faeces so we left 2 days early. Whatâs even more unbelievable is that Lakelovers told us we are not entitled to a refund for the 2 days we did not stay on at the cottage because we left early not giving them time to rectify the issue. This issue has happened before as you can see from previous reviews. How on earth can you fix the problem and ensure it doesnât happen again? How can you ensure the property was fully decontaminated and safe to live in. And the artificial grass in the garden that was covered in faeces too, surely that needs to be ripped up and thoroughly cleaned or even replaced??!! I cannot believe to company are advising anyone to stay in such squalor conditions, this is a clear Health and safety issue but no one seems to care. Iâm still waiting on head office contact details to discuss the matter further. Awful customer service, I will never book through the company again.

The pros about this property hands down are the location and the parking permit.
Walking distance to shops (tesco express for groceries) & lots of places to eat, drink and main attractions. The permit is valid for all council owned car parks. The main bedroom was very comfortable and a good size. The property was generally quiet. This is where the pros ended for us. The 2 single beds were extremely uncomfortable. I luckily happened to have 2 thick fleece blankets with us which we put on top of the mattresses. There was some broken glass on the floor by the kitchen which luckily I spotted before anyone hurt themselves. If you are into cooking then the facilities weren't much. Small fridge to fill in daily which was good but no freezer. Just a small ice box which unless it gets defrosted, it's no use as it's filled with ice. Also some of the dishes/mugs were put back the cupboards dirty so had to rewash them before use. No bins/instructions on recycling either. Also upon arrival there was no toilet paper luckily the shops were open. There was however hand wash & 1 dishwasher tablet & 2 bin liners left behind. The sofas & the dining table really could do with an upgrade but were usable. Also there was no instructions for hot water. We didn't know how much hot water there was & whether we could all shower 1 after another (4 of us). Also the smart tv would connect to the Internet but cut out after a few minutes. Internet connection was not fantastic. The router is in the kitchen above the washing machine. This place could become so much more than it is but the location was extremely convenient.
