The cottage was easy to find and access. Commination with the owner re. thr hot tub prior was quick and responsive. The cottage was just as described the garden is lovely and enclosed ideal for dogs. The cottage is equipped with everything you need the bed and sofas are very comfy the cottage was clean and well kept. Well.located in a small quiet village with a local.shop and lovely pub that does amazing Sunday lunch but close enough for all the busier tourist hotspots. We had a lovely time and looking forward to visiting again

It is the second family visit there as we have found it a lovely base to visit nearby family and enjoy the area. The cottage is very well equipped and clean.

Alison “Lovely little cottage.”
Very well equipped, comfortable and clean. Nice touches like local maps and information, recommendations for local restaurants etc everything was well explained and the owners were super attentive when we had a couple of questions. The best thing for us was the location in terms of access to both the lakes and the dales. You could get to so many beautiful places within 30 minutes and we were able to pack our 3 days with lots of walks and stunning drives .
- Alison, May 2025Thankyou so much for the lovely and kind review, we really appreciate your time writing this. It helps us so much with people viewing our property on line and makes all our efforts worthwhile. Hope you return again soon. Thankyou Property Owner
Diane “I would like to share information about my fantastic stay at this cottage.”
There was everything I needed for a fantastic stay, including cleaning materials. The cottage was stunning and exceptionally clean with a lovely welcome pack on arrival. If you are looking for a great stay then this is it. I have been using Sykes for over 8 years and this was by far the best. Thank you Richard & Mandy for a fantastic time. I will be back soon

About the location
TEBAY
Kendal 13 miles; Penrith 17 miles; Windermere 19 miles.
The charming old village of Tebay sits near the eastern fringe of the Lake District National Park. The village itself winds its way along the edge of the main thoroughfare and the traditionally whitewashed Cross Keys Inn has been there for 500 years or more. The inn is reputedly haunted by the ghost of the Tebay Witch, Mary Baynes. Along with its better-known neighbours of Kendal, Sedbergh and Appleby-in-Westmorland, the area is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and beautiful scenery. Nearby Orton has a Post Office/shop, tea rooms and the famous handmade chocolate shop. A lovely village green surrounded by 17th and 18th century cottages adds to its charm and there is a farmers' market in the village square on the second Saturday of every month. Take a short drive and discover the unspoilt lake of Haweswater, or take advantage of the excellent road links to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales.
Please Note: The Hot Tub is available to use for £25 per night during your stay paid directly to the Owner.
