“Lovely cottage for our week at the Keswick Convention with our two families together.”

The house was spotlessly clean and we loved our welcome basket! Would stay again without hesitation.

“This was a lovely property in every way.”

My only suggestion is that as it is a dog friendly property and they do not want dogs to go upstairs that maybe a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs would be helpful for bed time.

“The cottage was absolutely perfect & the owner went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, including a lovely welcome note and basket of goodies on arrival.”

The accommodation suited our family setup perfectly and was furnished with every conceivable item of equipment to ensure our stay went smoothly, plus any concerns regarding cleanliness in the current climate were soon dispelled as it was spotless! We would certainly want to stay at Blencathra cottage again. It was therefore a real shame that our experience with Sykes was so stressful. I realise that we have been in unchanged times with COVID 19, but Sykes did not make the process easy. No telephone line to seek advice, numerous emails ignored, money taken from my account for an original booking that could not take place due to lockdown to name a few of the many frustrations. You only have to see the number of Facebook groups setup to realise that we were not alone in receiving appalling service.
