  We had to buy toilet paper as there was not enough.

  We ran out of liquid soap on the first night. There was no dishwashing detergent supplied. The welcome pack consisted of a packet of biscuits. Not even a small bottle of Milk in the fridge. Only five tea bags for a three night stay. The toilet seat was loose which was uncomfortable. No toiletries. You were greeted at the front door with a whole lot of weeds including a significant sized nettle in front of the door. These gripes may not seem all that significant but when you pay in excess of £600 for three nights accommodation that makes them Important. I understand there is a School Holiday/Bank Holiday premium and I take that into account. By way of comparison we checked into a better located and bigger cottage in Louth today with a big welcome pack of half a dozen items, toiletries, abundant amounts of tea, coffee, toiletries, cleaning materials etc. The cost was nearly £200 less for the equivalent stay.

  This cottage is absolutely amazing and is like a little home from home.

  Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable base from which to explore the beautiful Lake District. Lots of information provided and Nicky and Ian are the perfect hosts on hand to help if you need them. Couldn’t fault the cottage I could happily live there but unfortunately, there’s no garden available but great that it’s not essential for a holiday home as you’re busy exploring. Lovely quiet little village with The Royal Oak Pub just a short walk away with lovely Sunday dinner. Try the steam train from Haversmith to Lakeside Station and then you can take a boat ride from the Lakeside and back we’ll try the boat next time. Visit Levens Hall and Grange over Sands too where there’s a Tesco and Coop. Plenty more places to visit so we’re definitely going to return. The weather was good to us too so what more could you ask. Definitely recommend and we have to all our friends

  The location was idyllic in the country.

  Reminded me of my life as a child. Ground floor a little claustrophobic but comfortable. The stone floor could do with a deep clean. The bedrooms and bathroom were nice and cosy. The only gripe about the bathroom is the floor again could do with a deep clean. The property is well furnished and well equipped. We feel that the water temperature from the ‘hot’ taps are scalding and could injure a child. The attached barns have some lovely wildlife. An Owl box in one barn and swallows in nests in another. Our dog and I saw the Barn Owl at 6.30am sat on a fence post only yards away in the lovely Orchard. It then flew off to a nearby tree. That Owl, the swallows and a Wren telling off our dog made the short break. Will definitely use Sykes again. Note: Please notify owner re Hot Water and deep cleaning of stone floor and bathroom floor. That said it was a lovely break away

  Mount Pleasant is a lovely cosy cottage and large enough for 3 adults.

  The central heating was simple to use and quickly warmed the property. Always a good test for a cottage is the shower, we were not disappointed, it was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped with everything one could need. The beds were comfortable with nice quality bedding. There were books to read (I read The Salt Path - highly recommended) and lots of OS maps plus leaflets for places to visit. There is no parking by the cottage but plenty of spaces further up the lane so that wasn’t a problem. The lane is very quiet apart from the Primary School (below the cottage) drop off and pick up times. Grange over Sands is very close with food shops, bakery and coffee shops. Recommend a walk along the promenade there and a visit to Tom & Abi’s plant nursery in the car park.

  Ermysteads cottage .

  We had a wonderful week in Skipton,it was only a 5/10 minute stroll to the centre/ marketplace,.parking was hit and miss at the property as it was first come etc.but we knew this ,but 50yds up the road (nextsideStreet )we never failed to find a space. The property was perfect for our needs ,I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it, but be aware I am 70 my wife is 68 the stairs are very steep would be very difficult for anybody with mobility issues.the bed was comfy and at night time very Quiet,and a lovely walk in shower . Netflix on tv if you need it it and WiFi was excellent.Would not hesitate coming back. Sue &Steve Leicestershire.
