“Our sixth stay at Gable End.”

The soft furnishings have been tastefully improved, however many things need attention. External doors and key safe need oil, bathroom mirror light has not worked in years, two bulbs gone in main bedroom. I fixed the left hand roller blind which has never fully rolled up to the top - it does now!

“Front door mechanism needs oiled and adjusted.”

The light in the cooker hood did not work. The toilet seat in the bathroom would not stay up. The shed door has dropped slightly and is difficult to lock. No hair dryer. No slotted spoon in kitchen or tongues. These are all minor points that should be addressed. We have stayed in Gable End several times and will do so again as it is a delightful little cottage in a beautiful village.

“Great little cottage and perfect base for surrounding fells and exploring further.”

Clean and fairly well equipped, slight niggle that all the dials have worn off on the oven and grill - can be worked out but I’m sure this would be an easy and cheap fix to make it easier for people. Only complaint would be the early checkout time, I fully appreciate why these were in place for the last couple of years but not any more more, it really does spoil the end to a good holiday having to leave before 9 am!

“Lovely cottage, very cosy.”

Fully equipped with everything you need. Just a couple of things- no deep bowls for things like porridge and soup and the front door was very draughty. Have you thought about a curtain for the front door? Other than that we had a lovely, comfortable stay in the cottage. Will definitely return. Thank you.

“This was our second time staying at Gable End and we loved it.”

The kitchen is well equipped and it’s a cosy cottage in an absolutely fabulous location. The village shop is a great amenity to have on the doorstep too.

“Our second time at Gable End, we had a fantastic stay, lovely comfortable bed and cosy cottage altogether.”

Brilliant location, close to Keswick which has lots of pubs and shops. Great walks from the door, really good village shop which stocks lots of essentials and local produce. Didn't want to leave, will definitely be back. Thank you.

“Wonderful little cottage in a great location.”

Great walks on the doorstep and 40 minutes walk or 5 minute drive from Keswick made this an ideal place for myslef and my family. Great little shop on the doorstep and two very cosy pubs 2 to 3 minutes walk. Cottage had everything we need and more very cosy at night and always warm on return from our walks. Will definitely be booking in mear future

“There were several instructions regarding waste bins and collection days and these conflicted with each other.”

It subject needs reviewed, simplified and rewritten.

“We had a slight issue with the central heating on the first evening.”

I sent an email that night and someone from Sykes Cottages called me early the next morning. They got hold of the owner and it was fixed the same day whilst we were out walking. It was very efficient and we needed no further help during our stay. We had an excellent few days in this lovely cosy cottage. Location is fabulous as there are a number of good walks from the doorstep and very close by. The village shop is excellent and it was also useful being So close to Keswick.
