“Everything was great.”

We had a wonderful time.

“The way sykes dealt with the covid was appalling, we had to move our holiday and they would not give us the refund we were owed due to the moving of dates.”

The cottage was OK, could have done with a better clean, cobwebs and cleaning product smelt cheap. You could feel springs in double bed, dishwasher didn't clean, swimming pool was too cold to be enjoyable. It was nice and cosy in the cottage but smelt of damp. Shop and lady in shop a delight. Pizza on site delicious.

Mrs Wingeatt September 2020

“Cottage warm and comfortable.”

Directions to the cottage not very clear. Take you to the courtyard but then no signposting to Dove Cottage though when you know where it is, it is only a short drive away. Feel the kitchen could have more equipment. Saucepans rather small especially if a family of four. There is no outside washing line and in the house is a small (broken) airer. Love the quieter life on the west side of Windermere. Hope to return.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 4 miles; Kendal 24 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside.
