What our customers say about their holidays

  • Deena - Verified booking

    Firstly the cottage has not been cleaned on arrival.

    With two children and after a 4 hour drive we had to them sit in a local pub for 2 hours whilst it was cleaned. (Sykes did give us some compensation however 6 days later have still not received). On arrival back at the cottage it was still not cleaned to a suitable standard. There was hair stuck to the carpets upstairs and fat splatted at the back of the cooker. The hob has residue left on it and the bathroom has marks on the floor. The parking situation outside of the cottage caused havoc. The advert stated roadside parking opposite the cottage. This is not true. There are double white lines painted therefor you cannot park opposite them, which when we were loading and unloading we were told by numerous ‘locals’ who would go out of their way to tell us we can’t park. There is also a parking warden issuing £35 fines. To find somewhere to park in a village of this size with no parking available was an absolute nightmare. I was baffled on arrival at the front patio which is actually the door step… you would also never want to sit out there on a main road through the village? To watch tv we tried using the sky box which asked us to insert our viewing card. Firstly it’s 2023, who still has these type of devices and secondly, if we did, why would we bring the viewing card on holiday?? Wifi is chargeable, we had to buy this daily at quite a significant cost. There are no instructions for the cottage left out we had to search cupboards but this was minimal. As there is no garden, there was also no access to an outside bin so the kitchen bin became very full and we had to start taking rubbish out with us to find a bin? The welcome we received was the most unwelcome I have had in any cottage I have stayed in over the years. There wasn’t as much as half a toilet roll in the bathroom… The whole experience left us baffled, frustrated and put off from ever staying with Sykes again. It was an inaccurate listing of a property. That said, the village itself had 2 nice pubs with very friendly staff.

    The property really needs more attention to detail.

    This was not a cheap place to stay and I think perhaps because it was the busy summer period standards slipped. There were spiders everywhere. Every. Where. Infested. The cobwebs were so thick in places it was like candyfloss. We had to hoover up about 80 spiders in the first 4 days and they were still appearing after that. The place seems to be riddled with them. Even after hoovering we kept discovering webs. Spiders in every corner is not exactly relaxing. The wooden doors for each room don't help as the backs of them just seem to have webs in all the gaps. We also noticed a great deal of webs under the beds when we were checking around before leaving which was rather disconcerting! We also read in the guest book about welcome packs that previous guests had received and we had nothing like that. Again it could be due to the rush for turnover in the summer but standards should never slip. Upon arrival the dining room table had crumbs across it, the kitchen floor had bits on it and combined with the spiders in the corner of every room it wasn't the greatest start. First impressions count and we were on the back foot straight away. The curtains are ridiculously light, the sun was waking us all up and we had to try to hang throws over the curtains to try and block out the light. Who had the idea to get white curtains? Quite odd. The lower stairs are extremely noisy, good luck trying to go downstairs in the morning for a cup of tea without waking your family or friends. We have stayed in the Lake District many times and this is the most disappointed we have been with our accommodation. It did not meet expectations and it was nice to get home and not have to have eyes scanning the ceilings for spiders all the time!

  • Sarah - Verified booking

    Gorgeous place, gorgeous views, amazing beds/shower/kitchen/bath, etc etc… the place is exactly as described - so the following is by no means a moan however just a few things that I think are helpful to point out.

    Firstly, it would be a helpful addition to have a slim coffee table at either end of the L-configured sofas just to pop a mug on when sitting at the far ends (where the sofas meet there’s a cabinet to put things on). If there are more than two people, those stuck on the ends have to put their drinks on the floor. There’s not a lot of room but a magazine rack with a slim table top would do the trick. Secondly, we set off the heat alarm whilst using the oven to cook, easily remedied second time round cooking by having the front door open but when it first happened it took a good ten minutes or more to get the alarms to stop (calls to the number in the email for assistance just told me the office was closed). Might be worth mentioning in the guest booklet that this alarm is sensitive and to be mindful of letting fresh air in while cooking as there is no extractor. Lastly, the parking. Yes I expect hills in Cumbria but the cottage is near the top of the steepest slope we came across the whole holiday (a single track road which has a sheer drop the other side) so just bear that in mind if you’re a nervous driver. I had butterflies every time I got in the car to go anywhere but they got less and less, so if I can do it anyone can :)

  • Kim - Verified booking

    Nice property but few major issues.

    Firstly no batteries in the smoke alarms which is a major health and safety issue which needs addressing. The alarms are hard wired but no battery in it makes it useless if power fails. This is a breach on health and safety and must be sorted. From reading the guest book it wasn’t a one off people had also commented about no batteries in the smoke alarms. All 3 on all levels of the property the smoke alarm draw was open and no battery. We requested the high chair to be available which it was but it was disgusting, very old wobbly and unsafe to leave a child in and the cushions were dirty and mouldy. For £15 the owners could buy a plastic wipe clean one. They’d be better off saying there wasn’t one. We were told off very rudely from a man about our parked car, nowhere in the property does it say where we can and can’t park our cars. The property sleeps 6 adults so they should expect 3 cars which is does but no idea on where to park. The check in time was very late 5pm most places are 3pm. This was very late and felt you missed half a days holiday, with having a young child 5pm was far too late to get him his dinner. Then to be out by 9am on day of departure again losing most the day. 10am is normal.
