    “We had a wonderful stay.”

    Everything was spotless and better than the photos on the listing. We did notice a small rip on the footstool in the upstairs TV room on arrival so we contacted Sykes to let them know. The beds were very comfortable and the area is peaceful so we slept very well. There is ample crockery and cutlery; the only thing we missed was a baking tray or two but we managed. There are lots of walks in the area and we loved being able to walk to Haverthwaite Station to catch the steam train to Lakeside then ...

    Everything was spotless and better than the photos on the listing. We did notice a small rip on the footstool in the upstairs TV room on arrival so we contacted Sykes to let them know. The beds were very comfortable and the area is peaceful so we slept very well. There is ample crockery and cutlery; the only thing we missed was a baking tray or two but we managed. There are lots of walks in the area and we loved being able to walk to Haverthwaite Station to catch the steam train to Lakeside then straight onto the boat across Lake Windermere to Bowness- an excellent day out. Thank you for having us.

    It’s great to hear you had a wonderful stay, we’re really pleased to hear it. Thanks also for letting us know about the footstool and baking tray, we’ll be sure to address these. The steam train and boat to Bowness is a favourite day trip of ours too! Hopefully we’ll welcome you back again soon Property Owner
