    “We spent almost 2 weeks at this property.”

    We contacted the owners a number of times and received no reply. In the end we phoned them and to their credit they did come round to replace toilet rolls, bin bags and washing up liquid. We both suffered from bites possibly from insects in the bedding and my partner had to take antihistamines as she has an allergy to dust mites.

    We contacted the owners a number of times and received no reply. In the end we phoned them and to their credit they did come round to replace toilet rolls, bin bags and washing up liquid. We both suffered from bites possibly from insects in the bedding and my partner had to take antihistamines as she has an allergy to dust mites. The property was far from clean and the bedding and towels should have been replaced after a week. The bathroom radiator did not work on the electric setting and all of the heating had to be turned on in order to dry the towels. There isn’t a phone signal in the property nor does it have WiFi. We did send an email asking for support and help from Sykes Cottages but received no reply in the time we were there. The WhatsApp communication with Sykes cottages was closed down ‘as there was not a reply in 24 hours’. Although of course we did reply confirming we would like someone to get back to us. We have stayed in numerous Airbnb rentals - too many to list- and never had any issues with quality of stay and their communications are fantastic. This was by far our poorest experience. Please reply explaining how you can try to gain our confidence in future, at present I would not recommend Sykes Cottages for a holiday stay to anyone.

The property

A delightful, architect-designed terraced cottage, just a few minutes' walk from the centre of the charming town of Kendal.

Tucked away in one of the narrow alleyways by one of Kendal's 'yards' this Lake District cottage has been imaginatively renovated with an upside down layout, with a stylish open-plan living area on the first floor, and the bedroom and wet room on the ground floor.

An ideal romantic retreat, complete with its own Juliet balcony, the cottage is also a great base for exploring the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, and is within walking distance of the town centre shops, restaurants and pubs.

The Brewery Arts Centre, and Abbot Hall and Museum are just 300 yards away, whilst pleasant walks along the River Kent, which flows through the town to the castle offering panoramic views of the town and Lakeland hills, are not to be missed.

With magnificent lakes and beautiful countryside to explore, this great property has plenty to offer, at any time of year.

About the location

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
