“Great Cottage and location.”

More toilet rolls please. Not expect so few. Didn't expect to have to replace washing up liquid too. Could be a little more clean.

“Excellent property.”

Had a great holiday with family for my wife’s birthday. I would highly recommend this property. Quiet location and good walking from the door. Excellent facilities.

“Spring cottage has been designed superbly and it all works really well.”

Although it is a property for 8 people, the two of us had a really lovely week. The logs were really appreciated!!!

D December 2021

“A fantastic Christmas stay, well appointed with a real home from home feel.”

We were made to feel very welcome and arriving after a long journey to a fire gently burning in the wood burner made us both smile. We could quite happily live in this wonderful cottage and reading through the photo albums on the renovations, it’s clear how passionate the owners are about this home and it’s beautiful surroundings.

“Spring cottage is probably the best cottage I have ever stayed in in the Lake District, it’s in a great location and a fantastic cottage.”

However the cleaning wasn’t done to my standards .

Heather September 2021

“I've only ticked met expectations as we had been to Spring Cottage before so knew what a great place it was to stay.”

Excellent facilities, location, etc. Such a lovely place to enjoy the lakes. Only comment is, please provide more pegs!

- Heather, September 2021

“For the new raised prices I’d expect feather rather than synthetic pillows / duvet’s, the mattress protector was a ‘water proof’ one which wasn’t too pleasant to sleep on, though with the pricey comfortable mattress I understand why!”

Lot of cobwebs around and floors didn’t seem to have been mopped. Otherwise great place, high spec, well equipped and very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

- Jason, July 2021
Sandra July 2021

“Unique property in a stunning location.”

Positioned perfectly for walking to Ambleside, Rydal and Grasmere with many fantastic walks from the door. Peaceful, well equipped and high quality. Would definitely return in all seasons.

- Sandra, July 2021

“Perfect cottage.”

..and we had great weather

“Sykes have been awful.”

We had additional charges on the property having moved the booking during COVID. They had no accounting trail and had not made us aware of this. Customer support was extremely poor and my complaint has still not been answered. I would not recommend Sykes. The property itself is still a fantastic place and my feedback is critical of the company and not the property.

- J, May 2021
R May 2021

“I have seen your prices for 2022 - a 66% increase on the cost of Spring Cottage since we booked it for this holiday.”

I will not return or recommend Heart of the Lakes/Sykes Cottages to anyone.

The property

This delightful detached cottage has been completely renovated and extended to provide a superb holiday home for families or couples. The property nestles on the edge of ancient semi natural woodland in the hillside on the lower slopes of Loughrigg Fell, close to the famous stepping stones which cross the River Rothay, and just a short walk from beautiful Rydal Water. There are walks in the area for all ages and abilities and some of the most picturesque scenery in Lakeland is virtually 'on your doorstep'. The Rydal Round, Loughrigg Terrace and the summit of Loughrigg are all to hand as is the famous Fairfield Horseshoe, along with more secluded walks through adjoining woodland. The cottage is reached up a tree-lined gated drive and there is private parking for up to four cars. This is a very peaceful location on the old road from Rydal to Ambleside, virtually free of passing traffic in the heart of the lakes. Accommodation: Steps from the parking area lead into the entrance hall with feature stonework and window seat. Shower room with basin and wc and small utility room. Lovely spacious kitchen/dining room (lighting control system) with cosy seating area to one end with log burning stove and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden at the other end. Separate lounge (55" TV with Sky Q, DVD, Wi-Fi, CD player and radio) with further log burning stove. Garden room with windows all the way around to the patio doors to the terrace makes the most of the views over the garden and beyond the River Rothay to Wansfell Pike. Twin bedroom also on this level with en-suite shower, basin and wc. Downstairs leads to three more bedrooms - a master suite with super king bed (TV) with very spacious bathroom (separate shower, bath, twin basins, wc , and mood lighting), and doors out to small conservatory with seating overlooking the garden. A large twin room with doors to the garden and a smaller double which share the family bathroom (bath, separate shower, basin and wc). Separate from the house is a games room with table tennis table. Spring cottage is very comfortably furnished with karndean flooring and fitted carpets throughout. Sonos music system can be used in 4 separate zones within the house. Gas central heating. Outside: There is a large garden on various levels with steps (part of which is enclosed) and edged by woodland and rock outcrops along one side extending to over 10 acres through which you are free to wander and explore. This is a unique feature of the cottage allowing you private access to a beautiful woodland area. Garden table and chairs. Parking for up to four cars in the drive. Pub 5 mins walk, village and shops approx. 1 mile.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Note: Dogs are only welcome upstairs. Note: Initial supply of logs provided
