“What a superb cottage.”

Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and sofas. Lovely welcoming touches. Amazingly well equipped. The location was ideal for us. We walked in the Lake District, Eden valley and Northumberland too. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

“Perfect place to go to "get away" from it all!”

The only criticism is the WiFi was sketchy so if you wanted to communicate with loved ones abroad, it was hit and miss. The cottage itself is WONDERFUL...comfortable furniture and beds, very clean and everything you need kitchen and bathroom wise, great value for money.

“The cottage was beautifully set up, had everything I needed in such a beautiful and quiet setting.”

Newby is a great base for visiting so many places in the area.

“Dairy cottage was situated in a quiet little hamlet and was just perfect for our holiday!”

It was spotlessly clean and tidy, so cozy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need! The owners definitely go the extra mile, the homemade cake was delicious and the milk and welcome tray was a lovely gesture. The Strickland Arms was just a few minutes drive away and was a lovely setting to sample the local beer and have a meal. There were several local walks that we did - the cottage had plenty of leaflets and information about walks and other things to do and see in the surrounding areas. Lovely cottage and lovely holiday!!!

“The property was amazing everything you could ever need and so clean and comfortable.”

“Booking this beautiful property was a spur of the moment, last minute decision and we were so glad we did, everything was so high standard and immaculately clean, the owners (Marlene & Gordon) had an accute eye, for their attention to detail, in providing everything you could possibly need during our stay, they had gone above and beyond to guarantee we had a fabulous time on our holiday at Dairy Cottage.”

Also, the inclusion of a 'welcome tray' made us feel instantly at home as we sat down for coffee and cake (gorgeous by the way) before we'd even unpacked. We would heartily recommend Dairy Cottage - a real home from home in a beautiful part of the country - what's not to like !!

“Beautifully presented cottage was cosy and inviting.”

There were lovely Christmas decorations above the fire place and a little tree which were lovely thoughtful touches. A very kind welcome gift was also left for us which was very much appreciated. Well stocked kitchen with everything you could require. Very comfortable beds and furnishing and spotlessly clean. We throughly enjoyed our stay would recommend.

“The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed.”

The beds were extremely comfortable and everything appeared to be new/of high quality. I spoke with the owner prior to arrival and she was extremely helpful. A lovely place to stay, everything as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Lovely, comfortable holiday cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Excellent facilities with a real home from home feel. The cottage is very well presented and looked after which made our holiday experience extra special and worth every penny.

William September 2019

“We arrived at the cottage and everything was set to make us really welcome, including a home made cake set on a stand, milk in the fridge and biscuits so we were able to kick back and have tea before sorting ourselves out.”

Everything was clean and tidy with no shortage of anything. I would highly recommend this cottage and should I return to the Lake District I would certainly try and book this cottage again.

“We really enjoyed our recent visit to the lovely Dairy Cottage.”

We used the cottage as a base to explore the Lake District and although the weather wasn’t kind some days, that didn’t stop us making the most of the week and exploring. The cottage is just as pictured, very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had 2 teenage girls with us and I was a little concerned that the second bedroom was going to be a squeeze but was pleased to find that it was bigger than it looked and a decent size for the two of them. The homemade chocolate cake on arrival was a lovely touch and there was lots of information provided on the local amenities and area - which was also really helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

“Quite often you see pictures of places in brochures or on website, and when you arrive, you are left slightly disappointed.”

It’s not what it looked like in the photos. Definitely not the case here. I would even say the photos don’t do the Dairy Cottage enough justice. The place is immaculate. Has a cottage feel about it while still feeling modern. Beds were very comfortable too. Normally getting a good sleep is difficult when it isn’t your own bed. Not here, everyone slept really well. There’s plenty of things to do and places to see for families within an hours drive of the cottage too. I would highly recommend the Dairy Cottage to anyone and the same for booking through Sykes Cottages. Would use both again with no hesitation. Absolutely no issues with anything whatsoever. Thank you.

“This is a beautiful and totally immaculate cottage.”

Perfect base to explore the lakes from. The owners seemed to have thought of everything you might need in a really well equipped kitchen. Couldn't fault it, we were very happy with the cottage.

- Krystle, May 2019
Joanne April 2019

“The cottage was very cosy and comfortable.”

It had everything we needed plus extra touches like a lovely cake and milk waiting for us on arrival. We would definitely recommend Dairy Cottage to anyone looking for a break away. Thank you!

“We have been going to Dairy Cottage for many years.”
