Gate House

We could not work the telly for the terrestrial channels.

Could not work the dishwasher. Some instructions would have been good. Lovely new carpet, but the door to bedroom only opened part way if I was any bigger I would not have got in or out, \no lock on bathroom door for privacy. All things that could be easily sorted to make the perfect holiday.

Beautifully decorated and clean place - would be very happy to recommend or stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay, we had a lovely time and were comfortable.

Loved the amenities and heated flooring. Only issues we had was the TV had no wifi and we couldn’t connect it because it was missing the wireless device it needed. In the kitchen there was no sponge for the washing or a steel scourer so we had to go and buy them ourselves. One toilet didn’t have a door at all and the other couldn’t be locked which was another discomfort. Had we not faced those issues I think this would have been a perfect stay.

The Gatehouse is on a beautiful spot on the edges of The Lake District and North Yorkshire moors.

The accommodation itself exceeded our expectations; it was very comfortable and well equipped. We loved the odd layout and the reassurance that it had an electric gate. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms were clean as well. The view from the upstairs lounge are amazing and breathtaking. We certainly return here and recommend

Such a beautiful place and very clean with all the necessary facilities.

We stayed for 2 nights and it was Christmas:) , there was a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations too . I would highly recommend this place. George is very friendly and helpful!

My partner and I stayed at the gate house for 4 nights.

It was well equipped and homely. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room cosy. We found it lacked storage but as there was just us two we utilised another room for our belongings. We liked the underfloor heating but found it got cold quick when it went off and didn’t know how to turn it back on but upstairs was always warm so that was nice. The Internet was good and fast but couldn’t get a signal in the master bedroom but it wasn’t the end of the world. The gate house is situated in a quiet area and not far from town, you get some noise from the A road behind the property but it didn’t affect our stay. We had a lovely time and would happily stay here again.

Our second time here ,still as good .

Great location with everything we needed.

Location great for both the lakes & the dales.

The property was immaculately clean and has had a lovely renovation. However, the owners have not considered living there for any length of time. There is no storage in the bedrooms. Beautiful lamp tables but a practical bedside table with drawers would be far more useful. There is no where to store your smalls!! No coat hooks or rack, no shoe tray. No shelves or baskets in the shower. The sofas are not comfortable luckily we did not spend too much time in them. We would stay here again as is a lovely property but with a bit more thought into practicality and storage it could be an amazing property. Thankyou for a great week.

Great location between the lakes and the dales.

Many lovely walks nearby. House is near to a busy road, not good for lying in but convinient to get around. General maintaineace and cleaniless of the house is good, but some information about the areas, such as local farmers markets and walks would be a bonus. Not critical, but we found slightly too much breakable decorations in the house, a hair dryer and a new set of cookware would be really appreciate. Anyway, thanks for the stay and a lovely area to visit.

Lovely stay in a beautiful setting.

Minor teething issues were sorted promptly and effectively.

A beautiful house in a lovely area.

Hot showers, comfy beds and a lovely lounge. Some comfortable outdoor seating would have been a welcome addition.

No a great start when we arrived at 4.

20pm to find no key to access the property then had to ring Sykes Cottages to tell them - 45 minutes later we got access to the cottage. It wasn't ideal as our son suffers from IBD so gave him an extra worry that he had no access to toilet facilities. An instruction booklet would be a great idea as there are no instructions on how to work anything - heatmisers, oven, hob etc. There was also a loud humming noise right outside the bedrooms which was very annoying when the house was otherwise quiet and you are trying to sleep. One of the garden chairs is broken - luckily we saw this before sitting on it. Some comfier garden furniture and a parasol would be a good idea as it's such a lovely setting.

Firstly I would like to say we really enjoyed our stay the property was beautifully furnished with an impeccable taste and all bedding,towels etc were of excellent quality.

The good quality hand wash and toiletries were an additional touch which was appreciated. We enjoyed the snacks and tea/coffee etc which were left to welcome us. However we had a few issues when compared to our other holiday breaks in the uk; Their wasn’t a detailed welcome pack containing information/instructions for operating the central heating or for the fire in the sitting room. The water pressure in the showers is not very good. The main bathroom has no window blind and that is an issue as the window is not frosted. The kitchen did not have a long handled brush, dustpan &brush for general cleaning. The plinth under the kitchen units keeps falling when you open the dishwasher which was something we had to be careful with to avoid it falling on our toes. For some reason there were two greasy roasting tins in the cupboard and one chipped drinking glass. A mat at the entrance would mean we had somewhere to wipe our feet and the floor can be kept clean especially when faced with rainy weather. Lastly the WiFi connection was not very good. Just some points which if rectified would definitely give the property 5 stars.

Lovely scenery and beautiful cottage set in a well maintained estate.

Fabulous private gated driveway! Cottage has modern heating facilities throughout with the underfloor heating in bathrooms feeling very luxurious. Unfortunately what let the place down was the horribly uncomfortable master bedroom mattress and upstairs living area sofas. The sofas were really uncomfortable to sit on and it wouldn’t take much to fix these issues with some better quality sofas and mattresses installed. Some other minor issues such as lights flickering and general paintwork could be improved. Also wasn’t a huge fan of the cleaning regime set out by your company- thought bed stripping and emptying bins would have been included in our rental fee.

We had a wonderful stay and they sorted internet asap when we needed password.

A few suggestions would be a chopping board and some egg cups and maybe some foil. Greet location and couldn’t figure out the heating in rooms so maybe some guidance and a blind in the bathroom downstairs win win Thank you and we had a lovely stay
