Katie

“We had a wonderful stay at Elm Court.”

Excellent location for the Keswick Convention and for the shops in town. Only 15-20 minutes walk through lovely woods to the lakeshore (on boardwalk). Flat was superbly equipped with everything you could need for self catering. Lovely homely touches like candles for the table, and matches provided too! Only disappointment is that it's already booked for week 2 of the convention next year!

“Lovely apartment in great position, just behind Booths and overlooking the River Greta and Skiddaw.”

“This is in a great place for visiting Keswick and various walks in the Lakes and is as cosy and warm as you want to make it.”

Parking space a bonus. It is a noisy, drafty place when windy as wind howls through sash windows and makes them rattle ( and it was windy!! ) We were very careful with tap in kitchen as it felt ready to fall off.

“Central location yet quiet and peaceful, extremely well-equipped, stunning views, comfortably and tastefully furnished - this place really did have it all!”

In 15+ years of self-catering we can safely say this has been the most well-equipped place we've stayed at - the owners really have thought of everything! The location is perfect, only a few minutes from the centre of Keswick, and the supermarket Booths is a stone-throw away, which proved very handy on the night we needed to stock up on some essentials. Derwentwater is a pleasant fifteen minute-walk from the flat, and there are a number of beautiful spots within a short drive; some of the places we visited were Cat Bells, Castlerigg, Whinlatter Forest and Aira Force. The flat was a wonderful place to return to after a day's walking; it is clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and in peaceful surroundings. The views are spectacular and our children in particular loved waking up to the sight of pheasants and ducks outside their bedroom window. We don't normally visit the same place twice as we like to experience different areas but for this place we may have to make an exception! Highly recommended!

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

I understand why instructions on how to use things have been removed but would have appreciated plastic covered alternatives. TV services hard to access

“Despite extensive difficulty contacting Sykes to re-arrange the holiday due to Covid, which was very stressful.”

Matters were eventually sorted to our satisfaction. The accommodation itself was extremely handy for the town centre especially with on site parking. Situated on the 3rd floor with no lift made lugging luggage up the stairs difficult also the main seating in the lounge was well worn with sunken padding which was not comfortable to sit on. Overall, the accommodation was very good and met our expectations.

“Lovely apartment, great views and location.”

Excellent, modern facilities. Windows could do with being a bit more 'windproof' as a bit drafty, however it was exceptionally windy outside

“A lovely top floor apartment on the edge the town centre with some fine views of the surrounding fells particularly in the setting sun light.”

It is in a quiet spot but very convenient for accessing the facilities in Keswick being close to the local supermarkets and town centre amenities but having its own parking space. The apartment was comfortable, thoughtfully and generously equipped. Although more expensive for that time of year than most of the many Sykes cottages where we have stayed during recent years in other parts of the country it was probably the best. Although everything was there to be found, a guest welcome folder covering the usual familiarity issues would have made life easier in getting started. At the time of our visit there are some long term major construction works affecting roads into Keswick from the A66- perhaps some warning of these could be made in the key collection instructions (from Sykes offices in middle of the town centre on a market day) to help future users plan their arrival ! Whilst the Sykes website has good search facilities, once signed up for booking, expect many emails and popup adverts thereafter, some of which have little relevance, which are somewhat irritating.

“The owners of our flat had kindly left us wine and flowers, which were a lovely thought and very much appreciated.”

We have visited the flat several times before and are always so impressed with the level of comfort, the location (walking distance to Catbells, Skiddaw and much else besides), the decor, and the reliable heating when required! The views of the mountains are also wonderful.

- Clare, September 2019
Karen July 2019

“The flat was particularly clean, tidy and well equipped with every thing we needed.”

It has lovely views and is very handy for town and the hills, and its great to have a parking spot.

“Quiet location with great views but also very close to supermarket and town.”

“Lovely apartment in the centre of Keswick.”

Really well stocked kitchen (the best we've ever had anywhere!) but we were left almost no washing up liguid at all (disappointing) and for a 10 night stay we were left 1 toilet roll (also disappointing, I don't expect to have to buy washing up liquid or toilet roll for a holiday rental). The apartment itself was lovely although you really need to get a "welcome pack" put in there with instructions of where things are (bins etc and whether the guests are expected to empty and take things down or whether the cleaners will). The duvet on the double bed was far too heavy for this time of year, a lighter one would have been appreciated. And only providing feather pillows, it'd be worth mentioning this on your website, i'm mildly allergic but wasn't warned of this. overall a great stay tho, really enjoyed our trip.

“Best equipped accommodation we have stayed in, cannot think of anything that was lacking.”

Well done!

David March 2019

“Best equipped place we have ever stayed, very comfortable and well situated.”

Only quibbles are lack of the expected instruction book and refusal of any of the windows to open, which would have been a problem in the summer. Otherwise faultless.

“Fabulous location, great size and layout of accommodation.”

Cleaned and furnished to a high standard. Perfect base for walking the Wainwright Fells and cycling to Buttermere. Highly recommend

Helen October 2018

“This really is a home from home, the apartment is located perfectly, a little hard to find at first which is the only reason I've not given it 4/4 in each category!”

The kitchen is so well equipped it's great! We will be returning soon! Thanks!
