“Dirty crockery.”

TV not connected so patrons need to bring a lap top and connection lead to access their own Sky / Netflix, etc accounts. Bees nest in roof at back of the house so patrons need to be careful leaving windows and doors open. This does need dealing with as some patrons may have a relatable allergy. Comfortable and spacious. Great location.

“Lovely property great location, marked down only due to dirty glass in cupboard, came clean after put through dishwasher, washer needs a clean, had a little trouble with WiFi password due to misreading of code, maybe printing it will make it clearer if it's a 1 I or l.”

Overall didn't detract from holiday as we all had a great time, weather helped glorious sunshine all week.

“The property was finely situated, with excellent views, and had lovely neighbours.”

The house was spick-and-span, and adequately spacious for our needs. The paved garden was actually bigger than advertised and can comfortably sit five persons [round the two small tables]. The following has to do with Sykes, or those managing the property: They were most accommodating, and came back with answers to all our queries. However: 1) It took a couple of days for the broken fan in the upstairs WC to be fixed. 2) The answers received when inquiring about the property were not accurate: there were 10 steps to lower bedroom - not five [that can make a big difference for an elderly person]; there were plenty of games for children [so taking our own along was utterly superfluous]; there is a route to Alcock Tarn adjacent to the property! :)

“Beautiful cottage in a fantastic central location.”

Fully equipped with everything you'd need . Plenty of walking straight from the front door and shops and pubs minutes away, and buses to anywhere further afield just a short stroll away.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, highly recommend Hollens Cottage it's just a short walk into Grasmere and there are plenty of walks around the area.”

The cottage was very clean and had every you needed a home from home.

Robert February 2022

“Spacious and comfortable and very well equipped.”

Well located for access into Grasmere village and with beautiful views from most windows. Our only slight regret was that there was no facility on the TV for i-player or other catch-up services.

- Robert, February 2022

i player and Netflix are available on the Smart tv in the lounge. Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay.”

One fewer guest than we had planned due to their work commitments changing last minute, so for the three of us it was very roomy. Thanks for the last minute availability. Is there anything you could do about the weather? ;-)

- Andy, February 2022

Sadly not. You could try again. Usually drier in April, may and June Property Owner

“Wonderful cottage close to Grasmere village.”

The views are fantastic from the cottage with lots of walks available from the cottage. The property retains a quaint feel to it. Large kitchen with all mod cons and ample space in other rooms. We had a great week there - if we were being very picky suggest the upstairs room ceiling may have small amount of damp from the roof guttering and whilst 3 small cars can be parked easily enough it would be difficult to park 3 larger cars but overall we loved our stay there.

“We have uses Lakelovers for over 10 yers for our Lake District holidays.”

The cottages are generally well kept and clean on arrival. Any issues have been dealt with swiftly.

Location Right at the heart of the Lakes, Grasmere is renowned for its rural charms and links with the famous poet William Wordsworth. He lived in Grasmere, in Dove Cottage (open to the public) whilst creating his most renowned work, and was inspired by the scenery you'll enjoy from the windows of your self-catering cottage. His grave in the village, is one of the world's most visited literary shrines.Grasmere itself is a wonderful place to spend a self-catering break; a charming village centre to explore, with Lakeland art galleries, tasty delicatessens and a Co-op mini market for your self-catering kitchen, and plenty of tempting tea rooms and restaurants. Don't miss the Good Food Guide listed Jumble Room restaurant in the village. Grasmere's central location makes it ideal for day trips throughout the Lake District. Rydal Water and Ambleside are nearby, and the village sits just off one of the main navigating routes through the Lake District. For walkers, the starting point for Helvellyn is only a short drive away at Thirlmere.
