“We had a brilliant time at the Beckwood cottage.”

Very spacious and comfortable. The facilities are amazing and so is the view. A great place for a relaxing stay.

“Contacting "Sykes cottages /Matterdale cottages " to get a sensible answer to a query was a nightmare.”

Whichever number on whichever website I used was clearly routed through to the same group of individuals -all of whom wanted to get rid of me as quickly as possible by claiming it was not "their department ". I thought it was really poor.

“A great cottage.”

Lots of space and fully equipped. Location very central for all those walks.

“We had a lovely holiday and really enjoyed our time in the beautiful cottage”

“This should not be advertised as having an enclosed/semi enclosed garden as it is open to the road - this was disappointing having 3 dogs as we had to keep the doors of the cottage closed.”

Take your own towels - only 4 were provided for 7 people.
