Daisy Cottage

The under floor heating wasn’t working no hot water downstairs which was disappointing as the cottage was lovely & the hot tub.

I did report to maintenance man when we left.

Though we had a lovely time we found the cleanliness was below usual holiday let standard, the floor was dirty on arrival and we had to vacuum straight away.

It appeared it had not been done for sometime. Wi-Fi was poor and the Tv temperamental. We were also concerned by the camera outside the property, though I understand these can be for security it was pointed directly at the hot tub. The last issue was the bath tub. No out of order notice was given yet when used it leaked from the bath overflow all over the floor, on reading the guests book in the property it’s clear these are inot a new issues.

Beautiful cottage and surrounding area, had the most relaxing time.

Fantastic stay at Daisy Cottage, beautifully done Cottage, once we mastered the heating system it was very comfortable.

Packed fully of surprises opening cupboards, very impressed.

Beautiful cottage, really enjoyed our stay here especially loved the hot tub, bath and amazing views.

Would definitely reccomend

The property itself is pretty nice, bed was decent, pretty clean, it seems to be getting a bit rough around the edges, there are a few cracked tiles, and some damp spots on the ceiling where the shower and bath leak, the bath overflow leaked while I used it, I'm not even sure it's connected considering how much it seemed to leak and what you can't see in the photos is the fairly busy road also visible out the large window in front of the bath (Yes they can see you, we spoke to some locals who said they drive past and have seen people getting in before).

My biggest peeve however, is the security camera pointed directly at the hot tub, I don't think I know a single person who wants to be unknowingly filmed in their bikini and it made it much harder to enjoy the facilities and I'm quite body confident, I appreciate that security is required but ive been to a fair few cottages with hot tubs and never seen a camera directly at the hot tub, we booked this as a private relaxing holiday and it's much less private or relaxing when you feel like you're being watched.

Very nice place to visit definitely recommend to others had everything for us

Overall was a really nice stay , nice modern place with hot tub , will happily stay again

Daisy cottage is a lovely clean cottage with everything you need for a perfectly peaceful holiday, the hot tub is amazing and very nice to relax in after a day sight seeing in the lakes.

The kitchen is well stock with cutlery and crockery and glasses etc and everything else if you want to cook homemade food like we did. I would highly recommend this cottage. A lot of review say and the position of the cctv above the hot tub but to be honest it didn’t bother us in the slightest and we just relaxed and took no notice of it really. I would give this cottage 10/10.

Mine and my partners experience was amazing we was so sad to have to leave and come home daisy cottage is beautiful everything about it is definitely a win win and the Location is brilliant in all honesty I can’t fault not one thing I actually really miss been there I would personally highly recommend daisy cottage we will for sure be returning I love it

Really nice stay a Daisy cottage , clean , description accurate and a lovely location , only couple of things the hot tub has a security camera right above facing the hot tub thought was a little strange And check out was at 10am the hot tub guy was there at 8.

30 doing a clean down could of waited until check out .. but overall great cottage great location everything you could need for a little break away .

Great cottage and was such a lovely break away nice and quiet and really cosy.

Thank you loads we will book again soon!

Very nice property and felt very homely.

. Very spacious shower which was nice.. The only things which were negative were, Struggled to run the bath as the shower attachment was leaking and felt a little uncomfortable with the cctv over the hot tub....

A lovely cottage, perfect size for two.

A bath tub in the bedroom was a lovely addition and grate views too. Easy access to the Lake District National Park and plenty to do near by. Would like to see information for recycling in the property. No instructions or separate bins.

Hi first I would like to say bathroom floor tiles is cracking and tiles is sharp not safely,floor grout missing,and better cleaning.

Cottage house is on the main road so you can hear everything in night time.

This was a fantastic stay for a couple's retreat.

The surrounding area is tranquil with a nice walk to the beach. It's only a 20 min drive away to all that the Lakes has to offer, we loved it and would definitely come back soon!

The location and design was just what we looking for ,however we did encounter some problems all local contact numbers were out of date thankfully we arrived early and was able reach sykes to report the cottage had not been cleaned nor prepared for us .

this matter was promptly resolved.seemingly there were outstanding maintenance issues from previous reviews but what impacted on us greatly was the excessive use of cctv cameras including directly above the hotub ! this was very alarming and we would not of booked had we been aware of this gross invasion of our privacy , we were advised cctv was not monitored ,which begs the question why was it there at all ?

Lovely property.

Fantastic views from the front. Really good location for visiting the lakes. Very clean and well equipped with lots of crockery, cutlery and cooking pans. Lovely bath with great views. The property is advertised as having a DVD player but it doesn’t ? Oven door still not been repaired despite several comments from previous guests. CCTV camera over the hot tub is very invasive. Sofa is very low and difficult to get up from.

The place was perfect .

Loved the bath and the jacuzzi and the huge windows onto the field

Our stay at Daisy Cottage over a number of days was lovely.

We have stayed in a number of various self-catering properties over the years, and whilst this stay was enjoyable - I would highly recommend that the owners check the feedback on this website and the guest book, as there are a number of items that still haven't been addressed. These include: 1) Bathroom door not shutting (the catch in the door is stuck). 2) Velux window not shutting fully upstairs (we had a look at this, and it appears to be one of the catches/locking mechanisms and therefore you hear a lot of traffic at night/early mornings). 3) Water marks on the walls everywhere on the top floor and stairwell (it looks like this was caused due to a previous leak which was resolved, but the walls were never repainted). 4) CCTV cameras above the hot tub and at the front of the property (the irony is that there is a link on Sykes Cottages website about how CCTV should be disclosed to guests - it is NOT in the listing - https://www.sykescottages.co.uk/blog/holiday-let-security-guide). 5) No hairdryer. 6) No bath mat (we had to use a towel). 7) Check in too late (2-3pm would have been better). 8) No blind/curtain on the window on the stairs. The hot tub was lovely, apart from one of the jets not working. The kitchen and downstairs area is well equipped. We would return again, if the issues above were resolved.

5pm check in too late, issue with water damage to walls telephone number in Daisy cottage handbook wrong, attention to detail needed and some tlc around the cottage would be good too.

We enjoyed our stay at Daisy Cottage.

It was very clean and ideal for 2 people. The bed was comfy, and we slept really well, bath tub and shower were good, Kitchen is well stocked and the cottage was very warm and cosy. We wanted a quiet place and that is exactly what we got There were however some issues which we didn’t like: There is a camera outside above the hot tub. We still used it however we were very aware of being spied on potentially.There is no mention of this in the description, despite it being mentioned in the guest book at the cottage. The sofa is comfy but far too low so this was an issue for me. When we arrived the toilet roll had nearly finished luckily we bought our own, as there are no shops within walking distance. Bathroom door did not close properly so we used the small fire extinguisher to keep is closed when in use. No bath/shower mat- however this was rectified when we called and additional towels were delivered 2 days later, still no bath mat so we used a towel. There was obviously a water leak at the cottage as there were water marks on the wall as you went upstairs and on the bedroom wall, which wasn’t nice to look at. I would recommend the owners look at the feedback in the guest book. The camera is really off putting and had we had known that we would not have booked the cottage, or an explanation as to why it’s there would have been appreciated It’s a lovely cottage just a few tweaks would have made it perfect.

Lovely property.

Only issue mattress too soft for my tastes.

Brilliant little cottage only one bad thing rang up to see if someone could call and fix tv upstairs on the Tuesday and when we left on the Sunday no one had bothered to turn up

Really lovely cottage in a nice area.

Beautiful room with amazing bath and views. Only negative part was that the oven didn't work and the hot tub was cold for the first night and couldn't get in contact to resolve issue until the next day. Other than that it was a great experience and would definitely return. Thank you!

Really lovely cottage.

Very comfortable, excellent facilities. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. We would gladly stay again and have recommended the property to our friends and family if they plan a break in the area. When we arrived the heating was quite over-powering. Nice to get out of the cold, but we had to turn it down significantly to make it comfortable.

Great long weekend at Daisy Cottage.

Lovely location on the coast road, with easy access to Lakes attractions and good selection of local pubs/restaurants. Hot tub was a great addition. Underfloor heating needed given the snow and hail but took a while to get going. Lovely and warm once it did. Comfortable bedroom and spacious living area. Couple of snags with facilities that could be rectified but wouldn’t stop us from returning: bathroom door handle loose and came off, too oven door came undone on one side and bedroom TV didn’t work. Upstairs walls looked like wallpaper paste has been melting/running. Overall a lovely little place in a good area with some nice touches- just a couple of details need attention

Excellent location.

Very comfortable and had everything you needed! Would definitely recommend

Lovely house with beautiful views.

Highly recommend

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

We loved to see the sea each morning! It was a lovely cosy property and well equipped. The only way to improve for us would be a welcome basket. We would love to come back and really enjoyed it! Thank you for having us.

Great cottage great views very clean everything except sofa was fantastic the reason I mentioned sofa is its too low for elderly people like me couldn't get up easily but everything else was 1st class

We enjoyed our stay in terms of location and the activities available.

Sykes were very helpful in solving an issue at the Cottage. The cottage itself was below par however in the standard set, looking in need of some attention and care. Oven door could come off easily, hot tub not working to it’s full potential, couch uncomfortable and paint work and stains on most walls. When these are sorted, I believe that the cottage would then meet the standard set.

Cottage and facilities were spot on, my only recommendation would be that you supply a electric fan, the bedroom was like a oven every night.

We couldn't open the windows has the building would be infested by flies which was another problem. Apart from that, it was lovely

Lovely place a little bit of noise from the road could do with a fan in the bedroom as it gets hot especially with this warm weather but would book again.

Had a lovely stay at Daisy cottage, the only negative is that it is very remote nothing in walking distance so always had to use the car.

Hot tub , hob ,TV upstairs not working but once reported was sorted so all good , cottage had all needed for stay , bed comfy , very peaceful and great base for seeing all the sights .

Great for a relaxing time especially the hot tub.Only thing would be could use a blind on stair window as sun shone through early in morning .,definitely will be back though as had a lovely stay here .

Great stay but a blind on the window on the stairs is needed as the bedroom gets very light very early.

We have just returned from our week at the daisy cottage.

It was an lovely stay the cottage views are amazing the cottage had everything that we needed for the week even a washing machine so we didn’t have a mountain of washing to get through when we got home . The cottage is a short walk away from the beach you walk across the road and through a field and then a second field then through a gate then you’re on the beach. Lots of lovely walks local to the area or you can drive for an hour and you get even more stunning views . The gentleman who upkeeps the cottage was very friendly and told us where to go for walks and cleaned our hot tub midway through our stay . We would 100% return we are already looking at dates for September if there is availability they get booked up very quickly . Jaz. And Dan

The oven door was broken Instructions for removing the hot tub lid were inadequate The dishwasher didn’t work Other than these few problems the cottage was fantastic and we will return

We stayed at Daisy cottage for our honeymoon and it was perfect!

The cottage was clean, the hot tub was amazing, the location for us was perfect! There is a beach in front and farmers fields behind, we felt nice and isolated If you drive 20 minutes up the road there is a beautiful village called Ulverston The cottage itself also had everything we needed for cooking which was a bonus We will definitely be staying here again!

The cottage is very nice.

Bed comfy. The comments about the sofa being low from other reviews i think is very extreme. I can only see this being an issue if you actually had a problem with your knees. We had no issues with it.

This cottage is perfect for a little getaway!

! We loved our stay here, it had absolutely everything we needed including lots of information provided about the area eg good places to eat, good walks to do etc. The cottage is so homely and the hot tub is a great bonus! Perfect location, very easy key collection and checkout, bed was really comfy and the bath was amazing! 10/10 couldn’t fault it.

On arrival the first thing we did was was check the hot tub as that is the reason for booking daisy cottage.

.the hot tub! It was freezing cold. I tried ringing the contact person twice and got no response so I sent a text message and didn’t receive a reply for over two hours! He said he would be out first thing the next morning to look at it and also said that we could put the outside tap on with the hose attached and keep hold of it in the hot tub, let it overflow till desired temperature was reached but it was far too late by the time he replied so we decided to try this the next day which was an absolute disaster! The pipe was so short and kept flying off the tap. We were extremely disappointed. It was 11:30 before anyone turned up the next morning and he didn’t seem very interested and said it needed a part and would be back..hours later it still wasn’t working so I contacted the person again asking if they knew what time it would be fixed and he said he’d come out at 5:30 as they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. He came out and got it working but by this point we’d had two days without it and was only there for three days. I would really appreciate it if somebody could get back to me and take this seriously.

We loved our stay at Daisy cottage- it’s nicely positioned to feel remote but close enough to explore the Lake District.

The cottage itself is modern and has everything you need for two. ZWe would happily moved in for good!The-hot tub was fab and we had no issue. I would replace the sofa as it is too low and I have no mobility issues. The throw on the bed should be replaced each booking-we put that in the cupboard- would stay again-the vast beach across the field opposite is just amazing!

The cottage is a beautiful cottage, however, as soon as we walked through the door the smell of wet dog knocked us back.

My partner is allergic to cats and on the first night had very itchy runny eyes and was constantly sneezing (luckily we had taken some allergy tablets with us) the smell was so bad that when we went to get our shopping in we brought a bottle of fabreeze to try and eliminate it. It did not eliminate it but made it more bearable until we went out and came back in again and it hit you again. Also one of the pillows on the bed was misshapen and as there were no spares had to use it. I dont know how someone that goes into clean the cottage doesn't smell the smell or dodnt notice the pillow when changing the bed as it is twisted. Like I said as I started the review the cottage itself I'd beautiful in a lovely location and the things above were such a shame as they are such an easy fix to sort out. Because of the smell and allergic reaction my partner had whilst there we would not return to daisy cottage which is a shame as if it wasmt for that we would definitely of rebooked to go again.

Short break between Motor Bike Rallies and to treat my wife for her birthday.

The property was truly wonderful. Lovely sunrises through the massive Triangular window in to the Bedroom. The double bath was used by my wife as a good pampering. We used the hot tube twice and enjoyed it after long exploring rides through the Lake District. The cottage information booklet was very useful providing valuable information and suggested local walks, a really nice touch.

Where do I start!

We were looking for a relaxing break and that is exactly what we got, sitting in the hot tub looking over the sea views was perfect, alternatively If the weather was a little iffy we could do exactly the same from the amazing bath tub and still we were able to relax and unwind whilst looking over the panoramic views. The cottage was more than equipped for our every need, the kitchen was fully equipped, having a washing machine on holiday and being able to keep on top of washing throughout the week was brilliant and meant I didn’t come home with several loads of washing. The house also had lots of information on local things to do which was really useful. overall I honestly can’t think of one fault with this property we had a perfect break away and I have come home fully relaxed. Thank you!

The cottage was amazing.

Great setting really made our week the most relaxing it could be. Definitely going to be taking the extended family there at some point.

Really enjoyed the stay just what we needed will be back again.

I loved it and have no complaints and I give it 10/10 and would go back but the sofa is very low and would not be good for older or people with bad knees/hips.

It was comfy but not suitable for all.

Fab break here!

Beautiful surroundings, lovely clean cottage, ample facilities and the hot tub was great! Loved the free standing hot tub with views over the bay too!

This was a romantic break for myself and my husband for my 50th birthday.

The cottage was everything we wanted, it was amazing, the facilities, the views everything was absolutely wonderful, we could not expect anything better. Also we found the bed to be extremely comfortable with a memory foam mattress plus the sofas in the lounge were good nothing bad about them. Also the walks amazing and not too far from the beach. We had an incredible lovely relaxing time, we toured the lakes too, Windermere was lovely. Overall we would highly recommend Daisy Cottage, finally I can say it was warm, cozy and romantic. thank you so much a very happy wife and husband.

Daisy Cottage is gorgeous!

If you want somewhere that’s a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the main lakes then this is the place for you. It’s about 30 mins from Windermere, Coniston and Ambleside and is great for a base to use to go and explore. The setting of the cottage is perfectly rural. We loved unwinding in the hot tub after a day of exploring or chilling in the roll top bath overlooking the fields. The facilities are spot on with everything that you would want/need including WiFi and the kitchen is fitted out with good quality crockery/cutlery. We loved our stay here and would definitely visit again

We had a fantastic four night stay at Daisy Cottage there were a couple issues which need to be raised for future guests of the lodge.

The 1st night we got there everything was as we had thought untill we had a few drinks and realised the half used toilet roll we had used throughout the day had no replacement roll and we had both had drinks by then and the closest shop was a CO.OP 6 miles away so in future 2 rolls would be better than 1 half used roll. The 2nd issue felt more pushy than anything on the the last day we were finishing off packing from our four days away by 09:55am there was a bloke at the back door smoking and pacing up and down the path on the phone to whom I can only think were the owners. Then at 10:00am knocked on the door and asked my Wife if we would be much longer we have other people coming. We thought this was a tad rude we believe there needs to be a 30 minute window from 10am to allow guests to leave comfortably rather than rushed out the door considering we had stopped four nights. Many Thanks Mr & Mrs Sams

The cottage I stayed in was a newly renovated (2016) well maintained place.

I loved the peace and quite. It has a fantastic view too

Every thing was great only the settee was a little uncomfortable.

This cottage is in a great spot, it was lovely being in the hot tub and watching the horses and rabbits in the field across the road.

The facilities are very good inside the cottage too, two good televisions, ample crockery, cutlery etc. The only downside as mentioned numerous times both in the visitors book and in the reviews on here is the sofa. Firstly Sykes show two sofas in their photographs of the property of which there are not, there is only one, their website needs updating to show this. Also the sofa that is there is seriously uncomfortable, you sit on it and sink almost to the floor and the struggle to get out of it. It made relaxing to watch the television impossible and was easier to lie on the bed and watch the TV in the bedroom. I would stay here again but only if the sofa was replaced and another one, or even an arm chair added. It's a shame because otherwise it was a quality cottage.

Cottage was lovely and the hot tub was a nice addition, there are however some small maintenance issues that need to be resolved, one of the steps leading up to the cottage was loose and the bedroom carpet was frayed but overall a nice stay.

Just a few small niggles that I think should be looked into, firstly, the heating system seemed over complicated and the cottage was often too warm, clearer instructions on how to control the temperature would be useful. Secondly, we could have really have done with extra towels, one towel each just isn’t enough. A simple bath mat would be a good addition too to keep the bathroom floor dry after a shower. Finally we had an issue with the hot water, on our second morning we had no water for a shower and had to call the number provided, which is easier said than done with the low mobile signal at the cottage. We finally spoke to someone who was unsure what the issue was and suggested speaking to the maintenance worker who happened to be on site, it turned out the problem was low water pressure due to the maintenance worker filling up hot tubs at the other properties, this issue caused a significant delay in us getting out to enjoy our day and could have easily have been prevented by him knocking and asking us if we needed the water, especially given the fact it’s a problem they are aware of.

We really enjoyed our stay at Daisy Cottage.

Both in our 70's we managed steps and stairs no problem. We like luxury and it delivered just that. I think overlooking Morecambe Bay is a slight exaggeration, unless, you are sitting in bath tub upstairs in the bedroom. There are some great eating places around the area and we had a wonderful holiday. Would definitely go back .

Really gorgeous little cottage.

Well presented, comfortable and fitted out to an excellent standard. Communication with owner was good. Only criticism was that the bedroom was swelteringly hot on our arrival (27.5 degrees) and upstairs theremostat was unable to be adjusted. Sadly when contacted owner about this issue we heard nothing back. Would give 100 percent positive feedback aside from this and it would not stop us from returning.

I have stayed in Sykes cottages on a few occasions now.

A great idea was arriving tired and rushed after work and finding a welcome basket. What a great idea. This time, there was no basket and frustratingly, we had forgotten butter for our bread and could have done with it. The cottage was nice although a bit remote and no nearby shop to buy butter. We liked the quirky bath in the bedroom idea.

Taps in bath did not work correctly which was reported to the contact email I had while at the cottage, but failed to reply.

The hot tub looked like it had not been cleaned before our arrival. Settee was very uncomfortable which was reported to by other guests early on in year via guest book but nothing done to replace Poor quality of mattress very disappointed which is a shame

Lovely cottage, not far from Ulverston which has some great pubs!

Only downside is having to drive around a lot to get places as it is a bit out of the way since it’s on the coast.

The cottage was comfortable and had everything that you could need.

The quality of facilities within the cottage were of a very good standard. Hot tub excellent and relaxing after a busy day in the Lake district. Both my wife and I felt relaxed from the moment we set foot in the door till the time we left. Thank you and look forward to next time.

This cottage is next to a road which can be quite noisy when the windows are open.

The bedroom gets very hot so we had to leave the windows open throughout the night.

We stayed at daisy cottage to celebrate our honeymoon and it was the perfect place to relax and explore the Lake District near by.

The facilities at the cottage were exactly what we wanted and the hot tub was just the best way to relax after a long day exploring.

Fantastic experience!

Pictures do not do this place justice. The cottage is raised high above road level and set back from the road so as to make the hot tub location completely private and secluded. The road is quiet most of the day and nearly unused after around 7pm so you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside out on the terrace or in the tub. The hot tub is at the side of the house sitting in the corner of a wheat field. The farmers across the road keep a few horses and cows but no bad smells while we were there. Great customer service, speed and responses from Sykes call centre support and from the owners. Cottage accurately described. Easy car journey with main roads all the way. A nice afternoon tea shop on a farm 2 minutes walk down the road. The cottage is about 30 minutes drive from the south of the lakes. Nearly all A roads leading to the bottom of Windermere. We drove to Coninston Water which is much quieter than Windermere. Not many supermarkets save for a big Booths (think Waitrose) and a small Tesco express both in Ulverston which is the nearest substantial town. Perfect for a peaceful romantic break.

Lovely place only drawbacks are the remoteness and a blind to be put on the stair window as the light comes in early in the morning.

Really enjoyed the hot tub as well. Would still come back again.

The cottage was lovely and had everything you could need.

We found the grey sofa uncomfortable, which was a little disappointing as this the only place to relax and watch tv downstairs. The hot tub was great and very relaxing after a long day exploring the area.

Sofa a little small and uncomfortable as only one place to sit.

Couldn't relax properly. Pub more than a mile even though it says a mile to pub in your listings. Would definetly come back to these cottages but book the larger one. For comfort.

The hot tub was an amazing addition & great location

This was a very disappointing experience.

We drove for 4 hours to Daisy Cottage only to discover the hot tub would not heat up. The majority of the holiday was spent trying to contact the owners and being fed false information about when it would be fixed. We had a near constant flow of people turning up to the property to attempt to fix the hot tub however they only actually did anything on the last day of our holiday just in time for their next guests! We booked this as a romantic get away for my partners 30th birthday, we were extremely disappointed with this experience. The road is not safe to walk along so driving is essential to every destination. We wanted to walk along the beach from the tea rooms close by but was told it was private access. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this cottage unless you are happy paying for a hot tub that you can not use!

Blinds Broke Crack in windows Cleanliness not great Hot tub unclean Windows not fitted correct gaps in windows Heating uncontrollable Cracks in plaster board Needs maintenance

Lovely cottage, well presented, only issue was the location, and instructions on how to lower the heating would be useful.

The memory mattress sank to hard dips incredibly uncomfortable sleeping.

The heating Athough we found the instructions in a draw and did a manual over ride, went up to 30 degrees every night which was impossible for sleeping even with the windows open blowing a gale. The window was smashed and the glass blinds were fixed in place presumably to hide them so we have no views from the bed or bath. The hotub was lovely and it was very clean

Everything was great apart from the hot tub which did not work, even after someone came out to repair it.

This was not a massive problem but was disappointing as I had chosen the cottage based on it having a hot tub.

Lovely cottage.

Owners very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Fantastic comfortable cottage.

Had everything we needed. Highlight of the cottage has got to be the hot tub. Lovely spending time in it after a day walking the lakes :-)

Just spend a wk in cottage on our mini honeymoon.

Really enjoyed our stay. Cottage was lovely. Hot tub was amazing. Would certainly book again to stay in cottage.
