“This accomodation was first class and couldn't be faulted.”

Every extra was there, and an amazing welcoming basket. Parking was a front door. The owners we friendly, and we would highly recommend a visit to this accomodation. Thank you. Maureen and Derek.

“Absolutely STUNNING, AMAZING, AWESOME and FANTASTIC!”

!!! Donna and Mark made us feel really really welcome! She met us on the drive and said the apartment was open. We were bowled over with the goodie basket - Homemade Bread (DELICIOUS), as well as Wine & Beer! Bottled water in the fridge and milk, so we could make a well earned cuppa, which exceeded ANY property we have EVER had the pleasure to stay in!!!!! The WOW factor - a HUGE BED, SOOOOOO comfy you didn't want to get out of it, with the BEST pillows and gorgeous wrap around duvet, meant we always had a proper night's sleep whilst listening to the birds and Chickens! HUGE fluffy white towels and the walk in shower, made for an unforgettable pick me up in the mornings too! We both think this apartment is THE BEST Sykes has on their books - you really have to go there and experience it for yourself, because I guarantee you will not be disappointed, and agree with us that the photos definitely don't do it justice! If I could give this a score out of ten, then it would be off the scale, because it really is OUTSTANDING! The only thing we didn't like was.........the fact we had to go, because we could have stayed here a whole lot longer! Never has a place had soooo much pull on the heart strings! Donna & Mark you have created a little piece of PARADISE

- Nicolas, May 2025

We are overjoyed with your review. So happy that everything exceeded expectations. We've tried to put in place all the things and little touches that we would like and it's wonderful you've enjoyed them yourselves. We would love to pull on your heart strings and have you back and have those extra days you wanted but couldn't because of other guests arriving. Thank you again. Donna and Mark. Property Owner

“Beautifully presented holiday home.”

From the welcome goodies to the map on the wall, from the comfy bed to the selection of books, from the dvds to the well equipped kitchen - Donna and Mark have ensured that your stay at Flat 6 is a memorable one for all the right reasons. Location wise there's lots to do locally and the flat is only a stones throw away from some quiet and beautiful areas of the Lake District.

- Steve, April 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed everything from start to finish and the fact you had wonderful weather to explore the local area and coastal walks. It would be lovely to see you again in the future. Donna and Mark Property Owner

“Absolutely beautiful flat, even when it rained you didn't mind stopping in ...”

Absolutely beautiful flat, even when it rained you didn't mind stopping in because its lovely and cosy, dvds to watch, plenty of games too, sofa and bed really comfy, which I find to be rare when renting a holiday home for two, the hosts have gone above and beyond to make this little gem homely, the welcome hamper and the Easter egg was a such a lovely touch and not to forget the drinks paid on at the local pub just a few minutes walk away, Donna and Mark are perfect hosts, would definitely recommend this property, had a fantastic stay

- Marie, April 2025

Thank you for such a really lovely review. We've worked hard hoping to get things right and we're so happy that you found everything to be comfortable and things to do on a rainy day. It was a pleasure having you stay and hope to see you again. Mark and Donna x Property Owner

“Had a great weekend, Sandwith is lovely, quiet but close to everything you need.”

The flat is gorgeous, cosy and had a fantastic shower.! Donna’s welcome pack included an easter egg (a nice touch) and a loaf of her wonderful homemade bread. To have the car parked outside was handy and we went on a couple of local walks straight out the door. St Bees and the beach being a highlight, the sunset was amazing. We had a day walking in Ennerdale which was only a few miles away and lunch in the Sawmill Café in Nether Wasdale which was one of the Welcome Book recommendations, coffee beside the river was a real treat. Overall we loved it, Donna was lovely and very helpful when ever we needed anything. We will definitely be back! Cara & Geordie

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you had such a wonderful time and enjoyed your time with us. We hope to see you again soon. Donna and Mark. Property Owner

When you want to go a little further afield, Fleswick Bay is ready and waiting for a day filled with seaside activities as well as St Bees Head Heritage Coast to stretch your legs.

Back in Whitehaven there are plenty of historic sights to see.

The harbour will be a pleasant walk before visiting The Beacon Museum filled with interactive exhibitions and galleries to indulge in.

The Rum Story & Jefferson’s shop could be the cherry on top to get a treat to enjoy back at the apartment.

Whilst in the area, The Lake District National Park of course has amazing scenery to take in whilst you hike or cycle through the trails, or kayak or paddleboard across the serene waters.

About the location

WHITEHAVEN

St Bees 2.6 miles; Ennerdale 11 miles; Loweswater 16 miles; Wasdale 19 miles; Keswick 21 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 49.8 miles.

The West Cumbrian town of Whitehaven is situated on the coast between the sparkling sea and the Lakeland Fells. It was one of the first ‘planned’ towns in England and today can boast almost 250 Listed Georgian buildings and some beautiful parks and gardens. Today the town’s harbour is a designated conservation area and visitors can learn about the town’s history at the excellent Beacon Heritage Centre. The surrounding coastline has much to offer, not least its old smugglers villages, such as Ravenglass, and the red sandstone cliffs of pretty St Bees - now the start of Wainwright’s famous “Coast to Coast” Walk. Meanwhile inland you can enjoy the tranquillity of the Western lakes: Ennerdale, Loweswater, Crummock, Buttermere and Wastwater. Ennerdale is perhaps the most peaceful of all the lakes, with no public roads running along its National Trust owned shoreline.
