“Lovely cottage, it had everything we needed including bike storage and parking.”

- Miss Rowe, August 2021
Mr Lang July 2021

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

It subject needs reviewed, simplified and rewritten.

Mrs Pickford June 2021

“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.
