“An excellent property, and the grounds are immaculate.”

Very friendly and welcoming staff. We’d happily stay again.

“Feedback for Sykes - there was no information on your web listing about what was available at the property.”

We went onto Keswick Bridge own site to see what they said. It informed us that bedding and towels were provided - necessary information as it prevented over packing. It would have been useful on the Keswick Bridge own site to have seen information about the provision of washing up liquid, tea towels, wash up sponges, cleaning products, toilet rolls, kitchen roll etc. It was very well stocked and these were much appreciated.

“Loathe to give feedback because we don’t want too many people to know about this gem.”

This is probably the 20 + time I have been here over the last few years. The only reason we have not been more times is there were no vacancies.

“The accommodation was quite dirty on our arrival with cobwebs, dead spiders in the corners of the kids’ room and smelled of damp.”

I really wanted to cut the holiday short as soon as we got there. The house had been photographed very well to make it look homely and inviting, but when we arrived we realised the photos did not reflect the true state of the house. It could really do with redecoration as it was very dated

Will be back
