“Our holiday cottage in the village of Threlkeld was well equipped, comfortable and provided us with an excellent base for the Lake District with a home-from-home feel.”

Dogs welcome meant we were all able to enjoy the holiday without any worries.

Dogs welcome meant we were all able to enjoy the holiday without any worries. A rep from Sykes phone the day after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. I don't recall any other letting company we have used do that and we appreciated the effort. We will be returning to the Lakes and will be using Sykes again for our booking.

“We had an amazing holiday at Eribel Cottage - it's in a fantastic location with sheep grazing on your doorstep, amazing views across the village of Threlkeld and the fells beyond.”

Lot's of country walks nearby which was great for both us and the dog. Only a short drive into Keswick to pick up supplies. Super friendly village with a great pub and coffee shop - both dog friendly. The cottage was really lovely, very well appointed and a real home from home. Comfortable beds, super bathrooms and showers, great kitchen/diner, spacious lounge, and a good selection of TV channels. If we were asked what would make Eribel even better - we would suggest an outside wahsing line and some new garden furniture as the current table and chairs a bit rusty. Overall 10 out of 10 and would definitely book again! Thank you :-)

“We have rented Eribel cottage on a number of occasions and last year we felt that the cottage wasn't as clean as we had found previously.”

This year, however, there was a definite improvement and we enjoyed our stay. We did look at booking again for next year but it seems as if the rental cost has increased significantly from last year?

- Mr Ashman, May 2019
“Great cottage.”

Very clean. Fantastic views, perfect position. In an ideal world there would be a fire and the TV would be lower on the wall, but pretty small things in the overall picture. We've just had our third holiday there and will be back next year.

- Mrs Pascoe, March 2019
“It was a fantastic cottage, very comfortable with amazing views.”

A very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Seeing the red squirrels every day was a bonus. The only downside was the heating which didn't seem to work properly, upstairs was fine but downstairs the underfloor heating didn't seem to work, but other than that it was a lovely cottage

- Mrs Paget, March 2019

Thank you for your observations and trust you enjoyed the facilities and location of Eribel Cottage. It is a pity you found the heating was a problem, one that has occurred before when the electric radiators were used to increase the temperature of the living accommodation. Electric radiators are provided in case the central heating breaks down. If the electric radiators are used in conjunction with the underfloor heating, the heat output raises the temperature above that set on the thermostat which shuts down the underfloor heating. I thank you again for your feedback and hope to see you again in the future. Owner relations
“We had an amazing time this is are second visit to the cottage and will definitely be booking to go back .”

I could not fault any thing about this holiday . And the booking facility are very helpful and the communication is excellent . Looking forward to booking my next one

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, best we've stayed in”

- Mrs Isherwood, January 2019
“Great location in a quiet, peaceful area.”

Walks on your doorstep and fabulous views from the house. The property has been beautifully refurbished and modernised and is very well equipped, probably because the owners use it themselves, making it more of a home. Just a couple of criticisms. The duvet is only king size and doesn't fit the super king bed. It's also not thick enough for autumn/winter use. We had to pinch the duvet from another bedroom to keep warm. The underfloor heating in the lounge is inadequate and didn't really seem to warm up. There were a number of evenings when we were quite chilly. When we tried to turn the heating up it kept flicking back to a lower temperature. It was as if it was being controlled elsewhere! Also the entire heating went off at 9.30 in the morning. There were some strange anomalies with the heating which we never really understood, particularly upstairs which was off more than it was on and the heated towel rail in the bathroom only came on for a few hours in the evening!! Really don't like being cold when we're on holiday.

- Mrs Yeats, November 2018
“The cottage is in a great location for walking and 2 great dog freindly pubs in the village what serve good food”

- Mr Dwyers, November 2018
“We had an amazing time the location was spot on the cottage was just perfect and me and my family had a great holiday .”

, we lived it that much we have booked up to go back in February .

“Great location excellent facilities ,warm”

“Had a great time.”

Fantastic location. Lovely and quiet.

- Hedge, July 2018
“As you know, we had to get in touch with yourselves on arrival re the state of the cleanliness of the cottage.”

Two ladies from the Keswick office came over straight away and saw for themselves a multitude of unclean areas including one of the beds. They immediately set to and changed bedding, cleaned floors and dusted. They quite agreed that the cottage should not have been left in that state - a stomach churning start to our holiday! I must say from the initial phone call with Gary to the girls coming round, I felt that your staff did all they could to put matters right including a refund of £100 at the end of the holiday. The disappointing start to the holiday at Eribel Cottage will not put us off booking the property again as it is so beautiful and so tastefully done. I think the owners would have been saddened to see that it had been so let down because of the lack of cleaning! Thank you to Karen and team for putting things right and I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the week.

- Mrs Chamberlin, June 2018
“Great cottage in an ideal place”

- Mr Archer, February 2018
“Excellent base for the lakes”

If your hesitating regarding this cottage, don't, just book it, you won't regret it. It's great to see an owner that understands the type people who rent this property are not the type to pinch dishwasher tablets, all is provided in this occomodation, the owner has thought of everything. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage.

- Mark F, May 2017
“Family holiday”

situation of the property is excellent, wonderful views from the lounge, cottage is very clean and very well appointed, everything you need and very well thought out, the village coffee shop is excellent with very friendly staff and good food and drinks, both pubs good with good selection of drinks and food. Cottage is the definitely the place to stay in the area. Would most certainly visit again.

“wow this cottage is amazing”

This cottage is the best we've stayed in,very clean inside with everything you need for your stay,the beds are very comfortable and two bathrooms is a plus,fantastic views from the living room and open the bi-folding doors and its like your outside,its in an excellent position for visiting the lakes only 4 miles to keswick, inthe village there are two pubs both serving excellent food,this holiday was over far to quick and we will definitely be going back, this cottage has been decorated to a very high spec and is a credit to the owners

- Garry B, August 2016
“Ideal for comfort and location.”

Beautiful house, modern, spacious and well-equipped. It is positioned perfectly at the end of a short road with a stream (gill) running along the side and stunning views of Blencathra to the rear and side and Clough's Head across the valley. Walks can be straight from the door with access to the path by the stream either into the village or up Blencathra. The village is nice with 2 friendly pubs and a surprisingly good coffee shop. However, be aware that there is no shop in the village so come prepared or its down to Keswick for provisions. Obviously word is getting around about this property. When we booked at the end of last year availability was not a problem. However, we considered returning later this year and found it was booked solid until Oct! Not surprised really, we have stayed in several cottages in and around the Lakes and Northumbria and this is undoubtedly the best. Other than the lack of a local shop and, to some perhaps, the noisy rooks (I think) nesting in the trees alongside the house there are no downsides. We would certainly recommend it and expect to stay again in the future.

- Colin P, March 2016
“Lovely lovely cottage, clean, warm, welcoming, modern”

This is a great cottage, well thought out and very comfortable. The views are fantastic. It's easy to waste a morning just sitting in the living room with a cup of tea and looking out at Clough Head. Floors downstairs are generally wood or stone tile (limestone?), which makes them very dog and outdoor shoe friendly. There's underfloor heating which means everything dries really quickly. The kitchen is well equipped and there is even a decent dishwasher. Upstairs in the bedrooms the carpets are new and are probably expensive. You sink gently into them. The zip and link bed in the main bedroom seems enormous. The sheets and bed linen are good quality. Internet connection is a standard BT hub, I think, and works well. Bit difficult to think of any downsides. An en suite would have been nice but the layout doesn't really mean you can do this easily. The pros of everything else outweigh that one disadvantage. There are leather sofas in the living room which I am not keen on, but that is just a personal thing.

“Excellent cottage”

This is a dog friendly cottage that is of a very high standard. The views are outstanding and it is very private. It has been furnished to the highest standard. It is very well equipped and is lovely and warm. The owners have thought about comfort in all weathers supplying everything you need. We will be going back.
