“A lovely comfortable cottage, this is the second time we've stopped at Nightingale Cottage and suits our needs perfectly being near to all the routes to the main towns in the Lake District.”

- Mr Welcome, February 2020
“Great cosy cottage in a fantastic location.”

Very well equipped and clean. Lovely village with a great pub , serving excellent food, only a couple of minutes walk away. Walks on the doorstop and within easy reach of Keswick, with a good selection of shops and restaurants. If you stay here you must visit Aira Force waterfall, fantastic. Just wish we had longer to enjoy the stunning area.

- Mr Rimmer, December 2019
“Lovely stay in a beautiful area.”

Whole experience was excellent.

- Mr Rogers, September 2019
“The cottage was brilliant and covered our every need and more.”

Threlkeld was an ideal place to stay for us and Rosie the dog, with plenty of areas to walk from the cottage. Also there was a good bus service, enabling us to use our bus pass instead of the car. The cottage actually made our holiday as we were blessed with rain for the most of our stay and would not hesitate to return hoping for more favourable weather.

“In your advertisement it stated that a shop &pub was 5mins away which was ...”

In your advertisement it stated that a shop &pub was 5mins away which was correct about the pub but there is no shop at all in the village this was a bit disappointing as we didn't have a car and thought we could get shopping in village when we arrived we had to wait till next day and go into Keswick apart from that the cottage was clean, comfortable, homely

- Mr Emerson, June 2019
“Great location, perfect cosy cottage for two people and their dog.”

- Mr Hindhaugh, June 2019
“Nice well equipped cottage in good location.”

Substantial literature on what to do including some lovely dog walks. Pretty garden but it is detached from the cottage across an alleyway for cars so dogs must be on leads. To get to the parking space is down a tight narrow alleyway with little room to manoeuvre so you might struggle if you have a big car.

- Mrs Buckett, May 2019
“It was a perfect weekend hideaway .”

The cottage was lovely and clean with lots of extra touches from the owners , including a packet of dog treats . The Horse and Farrier pub was only a short stroll down the lane with good food and friendly , welcoming staff . Sykes Cottages kept in regular touch right from the inital booking to the time we started our holiday. Thankyou . I would highly recommend it .

- Mrs Clegg, February 2019
“The cottage was perfect for two people and the back garden would be lovely when the weather warms up.”

It was just a shame it wasn't enclosed so our dog had to be kept on his lead.

- Mr Carter, February 2019
“Lovely cozy cottage, really nice to have a festive feel for Christmas and clear effort made to that end.”

Candles too :) And a Christmas card. Excellent location and beautiful walks right from the back of the cottage up a Ghyll to Blencathra with numerous path choices all around, including along the river.

- Miss Kelly, December 2018
“Second visit to this cottage in as many years.”

just love the location. walks and rustic charm of the whole place. dogs live it too they whimper with excitement when we pull into the drive. many thanks once again.

- Mr Bryant, December 2018
“The Cottage was very small , all facilities as listed were available but I seemed to be forever bumping my head and I am only 5'6" tall.”

The bed and settee were not particularly comfortable.

“The Cottage was amazing to come back to at the end of each day, snug, warm and welcoming, I could live in it quite happily, eschewing all unnecessary possessions in exchange for the views.”

- Miss Gaskell, September 2018
“The visitors book was left on the table when we arrived and there are plenty of other books, maps & leaflets which came in very handy.”

Having an off road parking space was really good and meant we didn't have to worry about where we would park when we arrived home each day. The cottage was very warm - only thing the sofa wasn't very comfortable.

- Mr Rose, September 2018
“Snug, bolt-hole below Blencathra”

Booked for my 40th birthday, this 17th century cottage was snug, welcoming, well-equipped and so clean and tidy it was a delight to stay in. With a packet of dog treats also waiting for Cassie, they kept her happy all week on our walks! Keswick is only 4 miles away for all amenities, but the Horse and Farrier in Threlkeld is so close for food and drink you might never leave the village. Walks are available for all levels from the front door and mounrain biking too on Lonscale Fell. We moved away from Cumbria three years ago...now we're not so sure why!

- Nicola G, September 2018
“A beautiful cosy cottage in a beautiful quiet village with good amenities just off the A66 bypass.”

The cottage felt extremely homely, as if we were being welcomed into a family home for a few days. The village itself was very welcome with a very friendly pub and perhaps the best tearoom / coffee shop we found in the village hall. We spent the vast majority of the holiday walking in spectacular scenery and enjoying the towns and villages which were all very dog enthusiastic. We can't wait to visit both the cottage and the area again.

- Mr Buglass, August 2018
“Ideal for a couple and a dog or small child, two pubs in the village and a golf course across the road, Keswick reachable in 5 mins by car and 90 mins via country walk.”

Excellent all round venue and location.

- Mr Alexander, May 2018
“Fabulous Cottage”

3rd year staying at this cottage and not disappointed. Very comfortable clean and well equipped cottage in a village setting with easy access to Keswick the nearest town. Picture taken from the back garden looking over the fells

- Andrea P, September 2017
“Really cosy & gorgeous views”

Brilliant short break to celebrate my birthday. Hubby, Sandie the cocker spaniel & I all loved Nightingale Cottage. Really cosy & immaculately clean. The wood burner was a real treat when it was hailing & snowing outside on an evening! Outside space is great & we hope to return in warmer weather to enjoy the lovely garden & gorgeous views. Sandie loved having her own little spot for her food & water. She was super happy to find treats waiting for her when she arrived...thank you! Dog friendly Horse & Farrier only a few minutes walk away was excellent for food or just for a drink.

- Marc D, April 2017
“Singing the Praise of Nightingale Cottage”

Nightingale Cottage is in the village of Threlkeld which is less than a 10 minute drive to Keswick. The cottage is in an excellent location for plenty of high or low level walking. The cottage is very dog friendly, with treats left for our dog on arrival. The cottage has everything to make our stay very comfortable, the log burner was lovely with plenty of wood available. The kitchen had all the mod cons including a dishwasher which is a treat when on holiday! Having WiFi that worked was excellent. The whole cottage is clean and fresh, and well loved. Whilst we were there the temperatures drop below zero, but the cottage was very warm and snug. A great retreat after a long day on the hills.

“Mrs”

Fabulous cottage, very clean and comfortable with fabulous views of Blencathra. This is the second year we have stayed in this cottage and will definitely return. The photo shows the view from the back garden, highly recommended!

- Andrea P, September 2016
“Outstanding views”

We first came here for our mini moon and enjoyed it so much we came back this year too! It's very well appointed and everything seems to have been catered for. It's very clean and has amazing views of Blencathra. It's very easy to get to Keswick by foot, bus or car and you are well situated to travel around the rest of the lakes within 30 minutes. Very very comfortable and very considerate owners, we had gifts and cards for our wedding and second visit which shows a real personal touch, also very dog friendly (although you can't tell any have been in due to high standards of cleaning) Highly recommended
