What our customers say about their holidays

**Review for Vantage Point Accommodation** Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the accommodation was fantastic!
However, there were a few areas for improvement that we noticed during our visit: - The main double bedroom with the heating system was quite noisy, producing a knocking sound. Soundproofing the cupboard could help avoid disturbing guests. - None of the bedroom doors had locks, except for the bathroom and toilet. It would be helpful to have child-friendly locks for added privacy. - The bottom drawer of the freezer was broken. - In the double bedroom to the left of the stairs, we found a spider in the bed sheets. This might be due to how or where the sheets are stored. - It would have been helpful to know ahead of time that the sauna wasnât working, especially as this was one of the key features that influenced our booking. - The main door leading to the jacuzzi area didnât lock, so we had to place items near it at night for extra security. - Since we traveled in winter, the living room was quite cold, and it seemed the owners controlled the heating. Thankfully, reception provided us with two electric heaters, which made a big difference. - The whirlpool jets in the baths need better maintenance. We experienced floating debris when turning on the jets, which was unpleasant. These are just some housekeeping issues we noticed during our stay. That said, Vantage Point was absolutely stunning, and it was such a pleasure waking up to the beautiful views every day. We were welcomed with a lovely Christmas tree, mince pies, and some local treats, which added a festive touch to our visit. Weâll definitely consider returning during the warmer monthsâthank you for the wonderful experience!

Unfortunately this is my first bad review.
Upon arrival there was left over food from who I can only assume is the owners of the property, as this was a last minute booking I assume the fridge and freezer was not emptied. The floors were filthy, after cleaning them the cloths were black. The tumble dryer is broken, the sofa was awful, old and uncomfortable. The rug stunk of old dog. Although the garden was lovely, we did not live out there. The heating is off, even though it was freezing. It would not allow us to turn it on, the covers were as thin as a piece of paper, this was May time we stayed and ourself and the kids had to sleep in dressing gowns. The owners lived in the garage on the drive way which was a bit weird to say. After what I thought was an awful stay I was presented with an invoice for a broken sofa!!!!! Which was £30 by their neighbour to fix apparently. The invoice was from SILVER MARIGOLD local computer repairs!!! After ringing these people at 12:56pm they laughed at me when I asked if they repaired sofas, in which I then explained about the invoice they quickly backtracked and said they were a friend. After the call I phoned Sykes Cottages at 13:13pm and if by magic the invoice was cancelled at 13pm. You can see the rip in the sofa was a scam and I have reported this in hopes nobody else gets scammed like us! I would never recommend this place and Iâm so disgusted in the way they have sent an old photo of a ripped sofa to pretend it was from me.

Overall a good stay.
Positives, a great welcome pack and good selection of games, the hot tub is massive which is great. Good to have off-road parking and location right in the town centre is excellent. I agree with others that the pictures do make it look bigger than it is. Staying with a baby, we couldnât get the pram in the front door as the corridor and baby gate made is so narrow. I used the washer - an essential staying with a baby - but then found the dryer wouldnât work as the water tub was full but it was impossible to empty without taking the kitchen apart to get to it. The mattress in the first floor double room sinks in the middle and wasnât comfortable. The bathroom on the first floor has been grouted not silicon sealed between the tiles and bath meaning itâs got gaps and the grout looking a bit dirty - you notice these things when bathing a baby! Staying with a parent who has mobility and sight issues, the floors are uneven throughout the property and the downstairs shower room is very small. Part of the reason of booking this property was it had a ground floor bathroom and bedroom. One of the jets in the hot tub doesnât work as the grey dial that switches it on/off is stuck/broken in the off position. This is an honest review of what we found and feedback to the owners and we did have a good stay.

21st October 2023 I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately we had an issue with no heating for the first two days.
It was sorted out as soon as possible. Malcolm and the plumber were very helpful, but I had contacted Sykes before we arrived to check about the heating as a previous customer had said it had been an issue. The front and back door locks and the fridge door could have done with a little maintenance (also previously mentioned.) I do have to say tho we would return. Hillside Farm is a fabulous, spacious and clean property. The bedrooms and ensuites were huge with lots of storage space. Large kitchen and the two conservatories were a bonus ( so much room to spread out.) There are two garages available to be used with access from the utility room. We visited at half term in October but I would imagine in summer it would be great for children. There is an enclosed back garden overlooked by fields and sheep. Young children obviously would have to be supervised near the pond at the front as that was open access, but there were lots of rabbits and birds to watch. Kirkby Stephen was a short drive away with a large Co op, but Kendal was the nearest town with a Morrison's, Aldi etc. and more facilities. The train from Kirkby Stephen to Carlisle was a good day out and there are lots of walks nearby. I would recommend this property and would definitely return.

After the initial wow factor of this property you start to notice it's failings, It was clearly a very stylish and well planned property much loved by it's owners as the furnishings and fittings clearly show, but now the property looks clearly un-loved!
. Please read following: Dead mouse found in bathroom cupboard in bedroom nearest to parking space. Skylight dirty needs cleaning. Decking needs a clean and re-sealing. Hand rail around the decking needs re- sealing. Glass banister around decking needs cleaning, covered in green algae at the edges and full of spiders webs. Pots on decking need weeding. The garden below the decking and each side of the drive way needs sorting, it's over grown and migrating on to the already narrow drive (about 3 MTRS wide) then over grown on to it, it looks like it was well planned but not maintained or looked after. Patio furniture in poor condition, it's usable but the hardwood table top needs sealing and some of the chairs have the paint off them leaving corroded aluminium behind. Overall we had a good stay and were well catered for views of wild life were wounderful, fixing the above would have made it perfect. Overall I would say the property was a 3+/4- out of 5. Would we come back? Probably! Although the beds were VERY firm for us.
