    “I am very sorry to say that I was really disappointed with High Stile.”

    This is the first Sykes cottage I have had an issue with. The cottage is very tired, it could do with some maintenance, a deep clean and decoration. The sofas were very dirty with marks as were the rugs and some of the walls. The oilcloth on the dining table was ripped in several places and the table mats were scored and dirty. I have photos, should you need to see them. The heating was very good and there was a good supply of hot water. The kitchen was very well equipped to cook for a ...

    This is the first Sykes cottage I have had an issue with. The cottage is very tired, it could do with some maintenance, a deep clean and decoration. The sofas were very dirty with marks as were the rugs and some of the walls. The oilcloth on the dining table was ripped in several places and the table mats were scored and dirty. I have photos, should you need to see them. The heating was very good and there was a good supply of hot water. The kitchen was very well equipped to cook for a family of six. Another issue which caused problems was a planned power outage on Thursday which left us with no electricity from 9.30 -4.30. During this time along with lack of power, we had no heating or water. As this was a planned outage, I feel that you as agents should have been notified and in turn ourselves. It’s very difficult entertaining three children in a dark cold cottage. The location of High Stile is lovely and well suited for a family of 6/7. With some updates and TLC it would have been wonderful.

The property

Rosthwaite 1.3 miles.

Nestled at the foot of Honister Pass, enjoying rural views across Seatoller near Rosthwaite, Cumbria is High Stile, a charming, four-bedroom cottage.

Well-positioned within the Lake District National Park, High Stile makes a wonderful base for couples, families or friends looking to explore the delights of the region, ideal for keen walkers and explorers; seven guests and two furry companions are welcomed.

Park up and take in your stunning, tranquil surroundings whilst unloading your belongings and making your way to your new abode.

Enter through the utility, the perfect place to store your muddy walking boots and coats, before reaching the sleek, well-equipped kitchen, with all expected appliances to ease your stay.

Prepare meals to be enjoyed in the dedicated dining room, where you can also plan your itinerary as the wine is poured and conversations flow.

Retire to the homely sitting room to unwind, light the woodburning stove, and catch up with your favourite programmes, before sloping off to sleep in one of four well-appointed bedrooms.

The first double rests on the ground floor, with close proximity to the ground-floor shower room, whilst the second double has its own en-suite, resting upstairs; a delightful twin and single bedroom can also be found here, serviced by a bathroom.

Awaken to a fresh coffee whilst gazing outward across the national park, with the sound of the nearby stream trickling by, before reaching Rosthwaite to stock up on the essentials and to dine out.

The area is peppered with beauty spots to explore, with the breath-taking landscape of Galleny Force Waterfall worth a visit, whilst avid hikers and mountain climbers will relish in the chance to summit the likes of Dale Head, Glaramara, and the Great Gable.

Travel north to reach Keswick, firstly enjoying the picturesque vistas of Lodore Falls and Derwentwater, where you can also try your hand at some watersports, ahead of touring both Keswick Museum and Derwent Pencil Museum, the ideal opportunity to brush up on your local knowledge.

Round off your getaway by heading for Lake Windermere, with the Rydal Cave, Wordsworth Grasmere, and the River Rothay Grasmere Foot Bridge walking trail all recommended to add to your itinerary, followed by tours of Ambleside, Kendal and Bowness-on-Windermere.

Take to the countryside at High Stile.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
