    “Overall very disappointing stay.”

    The owner contacted us to advise there would be some building work going on and hoped we wouldn't experience too much disruption however this wasn't the case. Scaffolders arrived at 8.30am on our first morning - so that was when the shouting/swearing/radio started. We were contacted by the company regarding an alternative and told that someone would contact us later with options but they didn't.

    The owner contacted us to advise there would be some building work going on and hoped we wouldn't experience too much disruption however this wasn't the case. Scaffolders arrived at 8.30am on our first morning - so that was when the shouting/swearing/radio started. We were contacted by the company regarding an alternative and told that someone would contact us later with options but they didn't. The following mornings were not any better with contractors arriving before 8am, parking one of their vehicles across the front door and started hammering on the property. The property is fine if you just want a no frills base however seems quite tired - dishwasher is pure guesswork, a few basic hygiene issues - crumbs on the worktop, dirty utensils, not all pillows had protectors, shower would benefit from deep clean, rubbish in bins, etc - surprising considering the literature advises this has been a holiday let for years.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you had a disappointing stay at Tyee Cottage. I understand that the construction work was more disruptive than you expected, and I apologise for any inconvenience this caused. I understand that the agent offered you a substantial discount or the opportunity to be re-housed but this was not taken up during your stay. I am upset that you found some issues with housekeeping. I cleaned the property personally prior to your stay and can only assume that crumbs were left as we had a final cup of coffee before leaving for home; for this I apologise. I accept that some pillows were below par and have now replaced them. I cleaned the shower personally and checked all the bins so your comments somewhat surprised me. We take guest feedback very seriously and would like to thank you for drawing attention to any shortcomings. We are delighted that the building work is now completed and that the scaffolding has been removed. Property Owner

About the location

BURTON-IN-KENDAL

Kirkby Lonsdale 7 miles; Kendal 12 miles.

A small, traditional Cumbrian village set in beautiful countryside and ideally placed for exploring Southern Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and the peaceful Forest of Bowland. The village has a Post Office/general store, a butcher and a pub that serves good food. It lies 7 miles from the lovely old market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, and 12 miles from Kendal, the gateway to the Lake District. There is easy access to many areas of interest, with the historic city of Lancaster and the seaside resorts of Morecambe and Blackpool all within easy reach. The acclaimed RSPB wildfowl reserve of Leighton Moss is only 4 miles away, while Morecambe Bay is also famous for birdwatching. Other locations well worth a visit are the villages of Silverdale and Arnside (overlooking the beautiful Kent Estuary), Ingleton, Settle and Clapham. Levens Hall (famous topiary) and medieval Sizergh Castle with a beautiful garden are nearby. Good pubs and restaurants are also abound in the area. There is plenty of good walking nearby, and golf, fishing and riding are all available locally.
