Edgemere Hideaway

New, clean and bright house, dog friendly as well.

Very quite area perfect for a peaceful holiday. We were very lucky to be there when Cartmel show took place . The dogs enjoyed the walks around the beach as well. There was everything we needed for our break, apart of hand soap that was only a tiny bit on the bottom of the bottle which is ok but when you are not familiar with the area can be a problem to find a shop at the weekend. No steam mop or simple mop to keep the floor clean which is sad as I could see the floor is already stained and it is a new build house. Otherwise the house is lovely and we had no trouble at all. I believe the owners are doing their best to sort out the road leading to the house.

Decent car?

Forget it!Lanes leading to the property are mostly single track with very few passing places.The hedges in most places scrape both sides of your car. The 250 yard approach road to the property is single track with no passing places and is full of large potholes.The hedges are full of brambles and scratch your car on both sides! There was no bedding or towels on arrival and the property had not been cleaned. This was quickly sorted by Sykes and the property owners. Could not fault the property - it was excellent. The bedrooms were large and beds comfortable. Both bedrooms had en-suite showers which were great,good pressure and water was always hot. Downstairs was roomy with an extra toilet. Only niggle was no soap holder in the shower. Would I return? No.My car is fairly new and I wouldn’t like it to suffer more damage.

I think a welcome pack wld be a gesture as other places we have stayed have left them, which was disappointing , a smidgen of hand soaps and none in downstairs toilet?

??also was very warm and no fan, and cldnt see a mop anywhere which I found unusual, but cldnt fault the house in any other way very peaceful ohh and road leading up to it is a bit rough pot holes , not the best , but all in all was a nice break

Edgemere Hideaway was exactly as described.

Purpose built holiday accommodation. Spacious, bright and clean. Lovely quiet location and quite private, even with other cottages either side of it. On the negative side, minor things but worth knowing. No welcome pack so take everything you need. We arrived on a Friday evening and had problems with the "smart" tv. We couldn't get in touch with anyone. The contact number for the owner went straight to a business which was closed for the weekend. Spoke to Sykes via WhatsApp chat but got no response from them until Sunday. If it had been anything serious we would have had a problem. As it was, it was only the tv. Would definitely stay again though, despite the minor issues. Cartmel village nearby is definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful cottage, very clean throughout and great that we could bring our dog along with us.

A lovely walk into Cartmel for food, drinks and the races.

Great location with walks from the door and 10mins drive to the beautiful village of Cartmel with it’s fantastic eateries.

Nicely renovated with great sized bedrooms with comfy beds and en-suites. Only slight negative was the house was a little cold for us but the underfloor heating temperature was locked so couldn’t increase and we couldn’t get the electric fire working either. Overall good stay and would recommend. Would also be good for several families/friends holidaying together as there are 3 properties together.

Lovely cottage in a great location, perfect for exploring south Cumbria and Lakes.

Really good value and well appointed. Pot holes in lane need filling in and ability to switch off or turn down heating would be of benefit.

Second year staying here as a family.

. We absolutely love it.. The icing on the cake would be if it had a washing machine!!

A brilliant cottage in a great location!

I booked the cottage as a suprise three night stay for my mum for her birthday and she loved it. Lovely comfy beds and linen and fluffy towels. The house was cosy and warm. We had everything we needed, great parking, the post code in the satnav takes you straight to the door. I would definitely recommend and will probably return. My only suggestion would be starting a guest book, we like to look at other guests reviews on good local pubs and places worth visiting, saves you time and uncovers hidden gems! Finally, the lamp shade in the large bedroom was broken on our arrival, I would have liked to just drop you a note in the book, rather than in this review. Thank you for a lovely restful stay, see you again.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very inviting.

In a perfect spot for visiting loads of interesting places in the South Lakes. Very quiet but within easy reach of Flookburgh and Cartmel for provisions and eating establishments. Would love to stay again.

We arrived at the property after driving through very stormy weather at 3 pm.

Sticking to the rules of 4 pm entry we went for a walk and got back to the property at 4 pm we went into the property only to find that it had not been cleaned, dirty bedding still on the beds and dirty towels left in both shower rooms. Attempted to make contact to report this on the number provided on the booking confirmation only to receive a voicemail so message left stating the problem. No call back was forthcoming. Rang again and left a further message but still no call back. Also contacted Sykes/Lakelovers via WhatsApp they were just useless no return contact until we got back from our stay 2 days later on Friday and then it was only an automated message saying they were very busy and did we still need assistance (absolute joke)! Finally got hold of the owner of the property who was upset about the fact the property had not been cleaned and arranged for two lovely ladies to attend at 6 pm to clean the property. My daughter and I went out while this was being done and when we got back were pleased to see the place clean and tidy. The remainder of our stay in the property was uneventful just a shame that it had started so badly. The property was comfortable and well equipped for our needs. It is in the middle of farmland and the views were amazing. The owner of the property did compensate us with a gift which was gratefully received.

Took my parents for a short stay so it was pleasing to find both king size bedrooms with their own ensuites were the same size.

The property was very clean, modern and spacious and we had a comfortable stay. One small point is that one of the sofas could have done with a small coffee table to rest a drink on. The location was peaceful and quiet with a lovely view out and also very close to Cartmel and Grange. We were happy we had booked this property and would recommend

Great location very clean comfortable beds

We really enjoyed our stay.

Plenty of dog walks from the door. Also easy walks into Cartmel, Holker Gardens and lots of public footpaths. If approaching the property from Cartmel, there is a single track road but the road was not busy so we had no issues

Lovely cottage with views of morecombe bay.

Enclosed garden for our Labradors. Good communication. Comfy beds. Great shower. Everything we needed.

Edgemere Hideaway is a beautiful property.

We had a little difficulty finding it for the first time as it is up a narrow lane edged by pillars but that is because it is in a lovely quiet location. Cartmel and Grange are very close by, easy to get to and it is a good base to go sightseeing. We walked through the door of the property and were extremely pleased as the kitchen/diner/lounge is spacious, modern and clean and well furnished. The two bedrooms are large with king size beds, with good clothes hanging racks and more than enough storage. The shower rooms were generous and very well appointed. We had good weather during our stay, so it was lovely to have a picnic table to enjoy the outdoors. As we were two couples, we felt it was the most perfect place we could have chosen to stay. We would definitely stay at Edgemere Hideaway again and would thoroughly recommend it to everyone. The one issue we had was that we sent several messages to the owner via the Sykes App over the weekend and on the Bank Holiday but we had no reply. We had to wait until office hours to telephone to get our answers.

The cottage was perfect.

Clean, modern and great location. Was a perfect setting for our long Easter Weekend in the Lake District

Firstly, this is a lovely accommodation in a great location/setting.

The place was spotlessly clean, warm, well designed and a great price. Comfy beds, great showers, nice view, parking excellent and there is plenty of storage - including a handy coat & shoe rack! But I feel I really do have to comment on the issues that irritated us - particularly as they are so easily remedied. Then this place would be fantastic. Both bedrooms had to share one tv remote as the batteries were dead - easily remedied with someone checking before check in. The welcome pack - No welcome just a list of what to do before we go - inc jobs that made me feel like I was back at home… (stripping beds & taking out the bins). Perhaps this is a Sykes Cottages thing and not an expectation of the owner & I would have felt happier to do a cleaner’s job if the “welcome” pack actually said welcome! It was unwelcoming and cold in its tone, not to mention tatty and containing no useful info. For those who have booked, it may be useful to know that the kitchen is missing the following: cheese grater, steak knives (I had to buy some), pasta bowls, washing up liquid (used hand soap to wash up when not using the dish washer), foil, placemats or saucepans (but there are 3 frying pans?). As a family that chose to cook breakfast & dinner every day of our stay, the missing items were a huge inconvenience. We had to use the plastic chopping boards as placements to protect the glass table. There was a broken glass in the cupboard & a broken masher in the drawer - so no kitchen checks had been done. My top lip discovered the broken glass rim within 5 minutes or arriving. Not the best start. I hope I’m not blamed for these breakages as clearly checks hadn’t been carried out. The cottage next door had to borrow our cutlery as they had none! As it was our last night and their first, we happily gave them what we had. Ridiculous that 2 houses were sharing 6 knives & forks though. While there is a coffee table in front of the comfy sofa, there is no table near the hard uncomfortable sofa so drinks had to go on the floor. Just provide a £20 table and this issue goes away. Also no cushions on the hard sofa made it a miserable experience trying to spend any time sat on it. Providing just 2 bin bags for 3 days is just mean - come on, they cost 5p each! We had to let one of the bins get to the point of splitting as we had nothing else to use. As I say, great property but whoever had the task of equipping it from Ikea, missed a lot out.

We had a lovely stay at Edgemere hideaway cottage it was lovely and clean the beds were comfy and had all the facilities we needed.

Would definitely recommend to family and friends
