“The property is in a great location in the centre of Keswick and the parking spot included is a real advantage.”

The apartment is very clean and comfortable and has everything that you would need. The only issues are the hot water, which has very low pressure, so takes ages to fill a sink and the shower isn’t great. The other issue is the main bedroom being right near the co op supermarket, so it’s very noisy at about 6.30ish when they are getting deliveries, but I know there’s nothing that an done about that

“It was a lovely apartment and close to everything and I would definitely stay there again,my only complaint is about the WiFi it had kids safe on it and we were unable to get to some sites,ie: bet365 my husband does like a bet at weekend and this was blocked and oddly enough it wouldn't let me look up menus in pubs very odd.”

But that is my only complaint.

Quiet, clean, comfortable, contemporary flat. Would not hesitate to book again.

Alan July 2023

“We had a really good stay at this lovely apartment.”

It is so convenient for shops and the town centre and an excellent base for exploring the Lakes. A parking space allocated is a bonus. The Keswick Convention is just up the road too. The apartment was very clean and welcoming with some lovely personal touches from the owner. It was comfortable and had everything we could possibly need to make our stay enjoyable.

- Alan, July 2023
Ken June 2023

“We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay in this lovely well appointed and comfortable appartment.”

Could not have asked for more. Our thanks to the owners for their kind and welcoming gestures. We will not hesitate to book again next year.

Mary June 2023

“Andra Ghyll was a beautiful apartment it was so convenient with co-op nextdoor and must mention the Thai restaurant across the road which served wonderful food and service.”

The apartment was also right next to town centre though we got no noise at night even though Thank you for the bottle of wine which was much appreciated. I would certainly return to this property when returning to Keswick

- Mary, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are really glad that you had such an enjoyable stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Expert Property Owner
Margaret April 2023

“The apartment was in a great location, and was comfortable and well equipped.”

The dedicated parking space was a must. The area was quiet, apart from the trolleys being moved about at the supermarket next door, which made sure we never slept in! Only small niggles were the wardrobe in the bedroom (doors awkward to open) and a crack in the bedroom window, but would definitely stay here again.

- Margaret, April 2023
Keren April 2023

“Lovely location and great to have onsite parking.”

Very comfortable and cosy apartment just wish the shower was a bit more powerful and there was somewhere to dry the towels. Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed including a cafetière. Very comfortable stay and convenient for visiting Keswick. Thank you for the personal touches on arrival!

- Keren, April 2023
Elizabeth March 2023

“Excellent acc.”

and position in Keswick. Lounge was particularly comfortable with excellent TV. . Only disappointment was a plumbing problem in the bathroom with the bath. Water would not drain so only allowed one bath in the 5 days. Otherwise excellent flat . Shame about the weather but would recommend the flat.

- Elizabeth, March 2023
Jeff February 2023

“An ideal location and considering it is in the middle of Keswick we found it quiet.”

Warm and comfortable it had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. I was also pleased that the owner took time to contact us before and during our stay to make sure we were happy with the apartment. The little personal touches made us feel at home.

- Jeff, February 2023
Lynn December 2022

“A well appointed clean, warm and comfortable apartment in the heart of Keswick.”

We stayed Christmas week. The apartment had a lovely christmas tree and crackers. and the owners were lovely, checking we had arrived safely, and leaving complimentary wine and cake for us to enjoy. Our first stay at this property but we will return.

- Lynn, December 2022
Anna December 2022

“Lovely flat, central location.”

Very clean and lots of extra little touches such as wine and chocolates. Only down side was no dishwasher.

- Anna, December 2022
Steven October 2022

“The Property was absolutely perfect for what we needed.”

Location, Facilities & Cleanliness were all spot on. The owner David gave us a courtesy call and was on hand for any issues, but was not required as all the details were there for a great holiday. Without doubt we will be returning. Extremely comfortable throughout, Thank you David it was Great! Steve Jane & Jess.

- Steven, October 2022
Christine October 2022

“Andra Ghyll holiday Flat in Keswick is in a great location and as described on the website.”

...it is literally minutes from pubs and restaurants on the main street. The addition of having a dedicated/private car parking space is a bonus in a very busy town frequented by a lot of holiday makers. All fixtures and fittings in the flat were in good shape and in general a very comfortable place to stay....felt very much like "Home from Home" . I would certainly come back to Keswick and hopefully also stay in Andra Ghyll apartment. Sykes Holiday Cottages, were very professional with good communication throughout right from booking the flat,right through to actual holiday break.

- Christine, October 2022
Paul October 2022

“We enjoyed our 5 nights at Andra Ghyll.”

The property is well situated for supermarkets, pubs, restaurants & the bus station is only 5 minutes away. The accommodation was spotless & every effort has been made to make you feel at home. The only criticism was the lack of basics i.e. bin liners, washing up liquid, toilet rolls & kitchen foil. We will most likely use this property or similar again.

- Paul, October 2022
Peter September 2022

“The fact that we have been using this property since 2017 speaks for itself.”

- Peter, September 2022
William September 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay a lovely cosy apartment Only one small problem.”

We found as older people a slight problem with the shower over the bath x We would have felt a lot more secure getting in and out of the shower if there had been a grip bar fitted on the tiled wall . This would have given us a help especially getting in to the shower Otherwise a very smart well decorated home from home

- William, September 2022
Lawrence August 2022

“Very pleasant stay helped by very good weather.”

Apartment was very centrally situated in Keswick with the bonus of having a dedicated parking space. will book again.

- Lawrence, August 2022
Joanne August 2022

“We had a fabulous 3 night stay in Andra Ghyll.”

A lovely, modern comfortable apartment in a brilliant location near shops and takeaways etc. The owner kindly rang us to check everything was ok. We will definitely stay there again we loved it. 10/10.

- Joanne, August 2022
Laura August 2022

“Fantastic apartment, central location with allocated parking.”

Very pleased with cleanliness and facilities. Owner was in contact to check all ok and available if we had any issues, which we didn’t. Very comfortable stay, well equipped and had everything we needed.

- Laura, August 2022
Ruth July 2022

“This was a lovely comfortable flat, in an ideal situation for access to the town shops and restaurants.”

It was perfect for us as we were attending the Keswick convention and it was a 2mins walk to the venue at the Pencil factory. Lovely welcome bottle of wine and attentive hosts.

- Ruth, July 2022
Graham July 2022

“An excellent place with everything needed.”

We will certainly be using again. Location could not be better, right near the centre of Keswick, supermarkets on the doorstep and main bus hub just across the road. We used a weekly bus rover ticket (excellent value) and didn't use the car once.

- Graham, July 2022
Betty June 2022

“Very disappointed with the kitchen very small also the microwave on top of the fridge very difficult to use .”

.no small step ladder I could not reach the top shelves…no dishwasher..quite expensive ..also a bit of a pain having to use a code every time to enter..However it was very central ..it was also difficult to find even using the sat nav … another complaint firstly having to visit the office to collect the keys from a one way street with no parking.I expected the key to be at the accommodation also having to return key to office..

- Betty, June 2022
Beverly June 2022

“Very nice little flat, ideal for 2 or 3 people, with its own parking place.”

Close to the centre of Keswick and literally next door to a Co-op supermarket! Nice to receive complementary bottle of wine and tea, coffee & soap's, thanks. Happy to recommend and would definitely stay again.

- Beverly, June 2022
Timothy April 2022

“Lovely warm, cosy apartment in the middle of Keswick with everything virtually within walking distance.”

- Timothy, April 2022
Sarah March 2022

“This property ticked every box for us.”

Fabulous central location, parking, cosy, clean, warm, good facilities. Good communication with owners if needed. We experienced 4 seasons in one week so can state that the apartment is really comfortable in all weather. I would recommend this apartment and would definitely book again. (We had just one moan. We are 'shower freaks' and found the electric shower lovely and warm but a bit feeble).

- Sarah, March 2022
Janice March 2022

“An lovely apartment, modern, well furnished and well equipped.”

A perfect location too both for the shops /pubs /cafes, and also plenty of great walks from the door without needing to use the car. A welcome card from the owner who also did a check-in phone call to make sure all was ok, a nice gesture.

- Janice, March 2022
Paul February 2022

“Lovely comfortable, clean, warm apartment.”

Really convenient for the centre of Keswick, the shops and beautiful walks from the front door. Great that there is a parking space with the property. Everything you need for a stay is provided- i.e. hairdryer, iron & ironing board, can’t think of anything negative- only slight niggle was the low water pressure in the shower but it wasn’t really a big problem. Would definitely recommend to family and friends, we would love to stay here again.

- Paul, February 2022
David January 2022

“First impression when we entered the property was that it was incredibly clean and well presented.”

Very comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. Excellent location, easy to find with parking as described. Right in the heart of Keswick so walking to shops etc and the lake was great. If I was forced to find a negative it would be the low water pressure so the shower was not powerful but that's no big deal. The true test is "would we stay again?" and the answer to that is "definitely"

- David, January 2022
Domini November 2021

“This is a lovely place to stay, very cosy and comfortable and the owners made us feel very welcome with their welcome gifts which was a nice touch.”

Very clean and well equipped. Central for town and good to have parking space. Would definitely book again.

- Domini, November 2021
Andrew October 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at this property, we found it very well equipped with everything which we needed and the location was excellent.”

The property was modern, clean and tidy, it had everything we needed for a very enjoyable weeks stay in Keswick. The property located at the end of Keswick high street and has its own private parking space. It was just a small walk to the 'ferry launch', which takes people along Derwent lake to access some very nice walking areas (nice not to have to use the car).

- Andrew, October 2021
J September 2021

“The flat is in a perfect location, minutes from the high street, the bus station, supermarkets and restaurants and takeaways but seems isolated from the hustle and bustle of the busy town.”

The dedicated parking space is a real bonus in Keswick especially if coming in the busier weeks. It is very well equipped and tastefully decorated in a fresh modern style. Would highly recommend it as a place to stay

- J, September 2021
James July 2021

“Everything was perfect,even the weather.”

Appartment was ideal for everything we needed,.we would well recommend it .Thank you for a lovely holiday,would defenatly come back.

- James, July 2021
Laura October 2020

“The flat is in a fantastic position in order to forget the car and enjoy the village of Keswick.”

Moreover, everything in the flat is very convenient and nothing is missing in the kitchen, so we could cook and stay in the flat as in our home. Maybe you could explain more clearly in the welcome e-mail where to park the car, we did not immediately get it and we parked the car in another place ... a lady came and asked us why we were parking in her place.

- Laura, October 2020
Debbie August 2020

“Comfortable flat, and great location but toilet flushing remains an issue as others have mentioned in their comments.”

Only 1 toilet roll provided for a week, would have preferred more - other places we have stayed have provided these. Tried to contact the owner via text twice during our stay with questions re TV and the fire. No response.

- Debbie, August 2020
Martin August 2020

“Clean, comfy, cozy.”

Great central location. Just what you need to explore Keswick and the lakes.

- Martin, August 2020
Fred February 2020

“The property was ideal for access to the town and Pubs and good parking, good property if you like being in the town centre , it is very well equipped and clean.”

Minor downside was it is very dated and needs a little updating especially the pink low level toilet that needs flushing 2 or 3 times at least to clear it, also the lighting in the lounge needs another small lamp or a dimmer switch ,at the moment you have a 5 bulb ceiling fitting very bright or a single table lamp in one corner very dim. But don't let this put you off all in all a good property. Also I was impressed with the booking agent, I Email the agent on Sunday to say only 1 of the 4 bulbs in the kitchen ceiling light bar was working and the internet hub kept dropping out, both were fixed Monday morning.

- Fred, February 2020
Stuart December 2019

“Location for Keswick and free parking facilities”

- Dave, November 2019
Robert October 2019

“I have used this company several times and I have booked this property on two ocassions.”

Everthing was exactly as it should be, very efficient and easy to work with, would definitly recommend and use again myself.

- Robert, October 2019
Neil September 2019

“Ideal situation for theatre, walks, eating out, pubs and shops in Keswick etc.”

Some early morning (6.30ish) noise from Co-op store next door but not too intrusive.

- Neil, September 2019
Joyce August 2019

“Unable to open any windows apart from 1 in the lounge and that would only stay open when jamming something in it.”

Had an issue with fan in bathroom but this was rectified during our stay.

- Joyce, August 2019
Helena June 2019

“The apartment was very comfortable with easy access to the town .”

Having a parking space was an additional bonus. Gaining access, key pick up etc was very smooth. We would definitely stay again.

- Helena, June 2019
Jennifer May 2019

“This apartment is a bit run down and could use some TLC, but overall it was just fine.”

Also, I think it's very unfortunate that you do not offer any percentage refund, even when the request was made immediately after booking. Just not a very customer-friendly policy.

- Jennifer, May 2019

We apologise that you have found the Sykes experience disappointing. We pride ourselves on our customer services. We will be happy to look into this matter for you in more detail if you wish, please contact our customer relations department on 01244 345700, we are open 7 days a week, 9-7pm. Property Owner

- Robert, February 2019
Rebecca December 2018

“Really fabulous location.”

A stones throw from everything which Keswick has to offer, but in a quiet location, with the all important car parking. Cosy apartment with everything that you need, slightly dated decor/furniture/fittings, but clean with a more modern kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

- Rebecca, December 2018
Peter October 2018

Kitchen a bit small but has a full-sized fridge/freezer and washing machine which is welcome. Would definitely stay again.

Whilst the facilities were as specified, they are somewhat tired and in need of updating.
