“The cottage was spotless, cleaned both for appearance and covid .”

My wife and I felt entirely safe. The heating system worked well and the kitchen was in good condition. We are familiar with this region of the Lakes and we found the location very suitable.

“Warm comfortable clean tidy cottage, small outside garden, terraced and well kept, good sized rooms, comfortable beds, iron, logs for log burner, books and games, home from home.”

25 minutes drive to Beautiful Buttermere, totally recommend for walk and lakes/ waterfalls. Ideally situated, lovely lady, totally recommend.

- Mr Went, August 2020
“The cottage was very well equipped and we did not need to go out and buy anything.”

Very quiet at night and a great location. Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Elliott, August 2020
“The Hayloft is set in a quiet village near Cockermouth.”

The location was great and made it so easy to visit all parts of the Lakes. We had a very warm welcome from Judith. The accommodation was very tastefully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped. We wished we could take the sofa home with us - it was so comfortable! We were worried about one of the reviews that said there weren't any blinds in the velux windows but that has been sorted now. There were also spare pillows, blankets and towels available. Judith has a superb green finger so the garden was just beautiful. It may be worth investing in some outdoor furniture as I know we would have utilised it more if there were somewhere to sit. Overall a brilliant stay and I can't recommend it enough! We'll definitely be back for another stay!

“A lovely comfortable cottage in a quiet location but just a short drive to the local town.”

Loads of great walks in nearby. Had a great time and will definitely go back.

- Mrs Pugh, July 2020
“Great place to stay for a family or group of friends.”

Close location to shops and National Park

- Mr Kosinski, October 2019
“We really liked the spaciousness of the cottage and the amazingly comfortable reclining sofa in the lounge.”

The cottage was really well equipped and the garden was really useful as we had a 10 month old baby with us. Our only criticism was the lack of blinds for the velux windows.

“We've just booked to stay there again, which I think is the best feedback we can provide!”

- Mr Carrier, May 2019
“The Hayloft was an ideal location for us to meet other family members who were nearby.”

The only real disappointment was the hard beds and pillows, particularly the kingsize and double beds. I would have expected additional pillows to be available as all our family prefer to have 2 pillows each. However, we did request a pillow and the owner gave us one immediately (pity we had to ask). The facilities generally were good, although a dishwasher would have been nice, as they have been available in other Sykes Cottages we have stayed at. Parking was also a little difficult as next door had 2 cars on the driveway, there needs to be a clearly defined parking area for residents of the Hayloft. We were fortunate with the weather, but had there been heavy rain it would have been difficult to dry clothes as the tumble drier was "out of order". The issues mentioned did not stop us from having a really splendid 4 day holiday.

About the location

COCKERMOUTH

Bassenthwaite Lake 7 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

The small country market town of Cockermouth is situated in the quiet north-western part of the Lake District, a largely undiscovered and unspoilt area, yet only 13 miles from Keswick. The town is famous as the birthplace of both William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and Wordsworth’s Georgian family home, on the main street, is now a popular visitor attraction, owned by the National Trust. Cockermouth offers a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat, but (of course) the main attraction of the area is the beautiful scenery and excellent walking in the northern lakes – Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water.
