Sally July 2023

“A lovely property to enjoy a break away with friends.”

Great self catering facilities, plenty of everything in the kitchen to cook with (just set aside a few extra minutes to work out the oven controls!) Very comfy beds and sofas, a great find, lovingly restored from an old farming barn.

- Sally, July 2023
Carol June 2023

“Well equipt cottage.”

Comfortable beds. Contact with the owners — lovely helpful people. Only negative thing was to say both mat in hall and in sitting area slipped very easily when walked on especially for the children.

- Carol, June 2023
Elizabeth April 2023

“Had a fabulous stay at greystones,clean,comfy accommodation,really friendly owners who couldnt do enough to help, arrange to have a fabulous cake delivered and got some decorations and balloons put up ro celebrate our celebration!”

beautiful scenery, places to visit, straight off the m6, could have stayed longer.

- Elizabeth, April 2023
Ann January 2023

“Rooms in the property are very small.”

It is a rather cramped space for 6 people. There were no basic cooking ingredients whatsoever. Some oil would have been useful.

- Ann, January 2023

Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry that the room size did not meet your expectations for the cottage, we have received minimal feedback of this nature. Whilst we stock basic cleaning equipment, we consider it inappropriate to provide open foodstuffs due to their perishable nature; we could not deliver hygiene and safety assurance to our guests of such ingredients left in the property. Greystones is a self catering cottage however due to our proximity we do of course endeavour to help in emergencies, our contact details are available within. Many thanks Property Owner
Indrani September 2022

“We can’t fault the owners for the kindness and hospitality They gave us free run of the garden with our dog, they put the heating on for elderly parents, they gave us extra games and dvds.”

They made it a comfy cosy friendly experience Thank you

- Indrani, September 2022

Many thanks for your comments, lovely to meet you! Property Owner
Nikki August 2022

“The property was in a great location near the M6, and you were still close enough to get right up into the lakes.”

The cottage was beautifully presented and catered for all our needs everything was really well thought of.

- Nikki, August 2022

So pleased you had an enjoyable stay Property Owner
Mohammad August 2022

“It's a Nice property in a remote area.”

we were six adults with an infant. the property was tidy and clean. I believe a few things should be upgraded, like the sofa and kitchen equipment. there ware only a very tiny saucepan for cooking which was not enough for 6 people. need a new toaster. should have been enough toilet paper and bin liner. thanks

- Mohammad, August 2022

Thank you for your comments. As you can see from previous feedback, we pride ourselves on making our guests stay a comfortable and high quality one. I wish therefore that you made contact with us during your stay (our details are available within the property) as we could have resolved many of these issues immediately. I can assure you that there are more saucepans and utensils within the labelled lower drawer of the cooker. We also provide some toilet rolls, bin liners and basic cleaning equipment. I will flag however , that this is a self catering cottage, but again we could have provided more in an emergency. Kind regards Property Owner
Khateeb June 2022

“Lovely comfortable cottage & very nice friendly owners living next door.”

Access is a little tight through single track country lane; there could be on-coming tractors. But the ones we came across very kindly reversed up a fair bit & made room for us to pass by. Quite an isolated location in farmland so limited number of eating places but Milnthorpe town is just 10 mins drive away. Great cottage for those looking for peace, quiet & nature surrounds.

- Khateeb, June 2022
Gemma May 2022

- Gemma, May 2022

Jane December 2021

“Greystones is a lovely, comfortable property & v good layout.”

Liked downstairs bedroom & bathroom. Very handy if dog needed to pop out & without disturbing other guests. Owners very friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely cottage and the history behind it so clean and well maintained ideal location for us. Thanks again Delia,Susan,Sam and the kids not forgetting poppy the pup. 5 star accommodation

- Martin, July 2021
Matthew June 2021

“Greystones is excellently situated to explore the lake district and surrounding areas.”

It is a fantastic place to stay, the owners can't do enough for you. It was my wife's birthday when we were staying at Greystones and they helped me to ensure that she had a wonderful time...sourcing cake, flowers, and a bottle of Prosecco locally to surprise her on the day. We stayed there with my in-laws who are also of the opinion that the cottage had the "wow factor" and had a wonderful time with us at Greystones. We shall definitely be looking at staying here again.

- Matthew, June 2021
Louise June 2021

“Amazing break away, perfect location as not far to travel to main areas of Lake District.”

Local Asda 20 minutes drive and local hotel restaurant and bar just a short 15 minute walk. This is a lovely family run property and their hospitality and help was fantastic. We would highly recommended it great for families and groups alike.

- Louise, June 2021
Philip September 2020

“This was one of the best equipped self catering accommodation we have stayed in.”

So much attention to details which made our visit very comfortable.

- Philip, September 2020

Julie November 2019

“The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday.”

There were biscuits, milk and orange juice waiting for us, comfy beds for a good nights sleep, two good showers, easy to use appliances and plenty of cooking utensils. We will definitely book to return to Greystones soon.

- Julie, November 2019
Ellen September 2019

“Fabulous holiday.”

...Greystone is a great place to stay.The accomodation is clean,tidy and well equipped with everything you may need.The owner is lovely and very welcoming too.Situated on a quiet lane it is easy to drive from there to the Lakes and beyond! Thoroughly recommended.....and you can bring a dog too! I rate it 5 stars!!!

- Ellen, September 2019
Jonathan August 2019

“The location was excellent and the lady running the cottage was very friendly.”

- Jonathan, August 2019
Penny August 2019

“The owner Delia is a lovely lady, we had a warm welcome, milk and other goodies all waiting for us, the cottage is spotlessly clean and beds very comfortable, we all slept really well, in fact I think you should do new photos of rooms they are all much bigger than they appear in your photos, so the cottage is bigger than you are expecting!”

We would return again , 5*

- Penny, August 2019
Sreedharan July 2019

“Very clean and calm place to stay.”

The internet connection is bad after 9pm.

- Sreedharan, July 2019
Peter July 2019

“The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean and as described in the listing.”

We were met on arrival by Delia the owner who was very welcoming and gave us plenty of local information. The outside area was gated and secure, which was very useful as we had our puppy with us and Susan the owners daughter lives next door and let us park our car in the yard so that we had more room . There are some nice walks nearby and you are close to the motorway for exploring. We will definitely stay here again when visiting this area. Thank you for your hospitality.

- Peter, July 2019
Christine June 2019

“The lady Dehlia who brought us the key was very friendly & helpful Thankyou”

- Christine, June 2019
Michael May 2019

“Delia was very helpful and was available for any queries that we had.”

The location was very handy for the southern lakes and Lancaster. The cottage was warm and cosy and fitted our needs. We were travelling as four adults and two children 8 & 6 plus a dog. There was a nice touch in that we arrived to find two pints of milk and orange juice in the fridge. The nearest town was about 5 miles away so we made sure we were stocked up. If we are looking to visit the area again we would look to returning to this cottage.

- Michael, May 2019
Sarah April 2019

“Gorgeous, cosy holiday cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. Really good use was made of the space and, although a small cottage, it was perfect for us & we didn’t feel cramped (3 adults & 2 young teenagers). The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and there was a really thoughtful welcome gift of goodies on arrival (tea, milk, biscuits etc). The location was handy for visiting both the southern Lakes & Yorkshire Dales. Loved our stay, wish it had been longer & I hope we get to return soon!

- Sarah, April 2019
Sarah December 2018

“Fantastic cottage with everything you could think of to hand.”

lovely hosts

- Sarah, December 2018
Alison December 2018

“This is an outstandingly well maintained cottage.”

The owners have thought of every extra you may need from a large selection of board games to varied selection of dvds. The cottage is very well equipped, warm, clean and the outside area secure if you have brought your dog. On arrival we found the owners had left us a free welcome pack of a bottle of wine, chilled juice, a bottle of milk and a box of biscuits. They had even put up a small tree and some Christmas decorations as we were staying over the Christmas period.

- Alison, December 2018
Marie August 2018

“Lovely cottage great base would definitely book again”

- Marie, August 2018
Jacqueline August 2018

“The cottage is brilliantly located south of Kendal - rural setting with very easy access to motorway and main roads to other parts of Lake District.”

The cottage is part of a barn conversion, which has been done to a very high standard with accommodation over 3 floors. The cottage was very clean and well kitted out for self catering - with the most being made of the relatively small spaces. Plenty of things to do locally - and a great base for walking both in the Lakes and further south in Arnside/Silverside. Would return to both the area and the cottage.

- Jacqueline, August 2018
Maxine July 2018

“This was our first time visiting this area of the country and we were not disappointed.”

So much to see and do in and around the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Greystones was a beautiful converted old thrashing barn, located in a lovely quiet lane, with plenty of dog walking areas on your doorstop. My family had a fantastic holiday here.

- Maxine, July 2018
Graham June 2018

“Excellent accommodation which provides a relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the country.”

The cottage provides everything you need for you to enjoy your stay. Very dog friendly and with the Lancaster canal very close by long off lead walks are possible. The cottage is only a few minutes off the M6 and equidistant to Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale. The lovely owners live nearby and are very helpful. Overall a true home from home and I will definitely return.

- Graham, June 2018
Jennifer May 2018

“The owners of Greystones were very friendly and helpful and the location of the cottage is great for exploring Cumbria and the Lake District.”

Be aware that this is a snug cottage for six and in order to all eat at the table some rearrangement of furniture is needed. For most of our stay there was just four of us so not really a problem!

- Jennifer, May 2018
Heidi April 2018

“A real home from home for our family of five.”

The location is perfect and the cottage well equipped and spotlessly clean. Delia and her family are on hand if you need them and gave us a very warm welcome on arrival. I thoroughly recommend this cottage for dog walkers - the Kendal to Lancaster canal is literally on your doorstep and the stunning South Lakes moments away by car. So much to offer for a family getaway. This was our second visit to Greystones and our third experience of booking through Sykes and we will most definitely be booking again!

- Heidi, April 2018
Chris March 2018

“Greystone is a well equipped and presented cottage with excellent facilities and access to road network.”

We had a great time and found the location ideal for our needs. The only draw back from our point of view was the living accommodation which we felt was cramped for the five of us, however this would not deter us from staying here again.

- Chris, March 2018
Shaji August 2017

“Very nice location and good landlords.”

Really enjoyed the holidays.

- Shaji, August 2017
Christine October 2016

“Very comfortable cottage in a great location for the lakes and the dales.”

The cottage is like a home from home with everything needed for a family break.

- Christine, October 2016
Ali September 2016

“After a shaky start of having to move accommodation Sykes excelled.”

The lady on the phone (sorry cannot remember her name) contacted the owner and arranged very quickly for us to stay. The lady at the cottage was most welcoming. The cottage was finished to a very high standard and very clean. Loved the little touches of fruit/biscuits and even 2 pints of milk in the fridge. A beautiful place and highly recommended.

- Ali, September 2016
Janice September 2016

“We had a lovely holiday, a beautiful location and a comfortable cottage, thank you”

- Janice, September 2016
Kelly April 2016

“This is a lovely cottage which has everything you could ask for.”

The parking facilities are brilliant. The owners are lovely and more than happy to help any way they can. Lots of little extras which shows how much the owners care. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and I hope to return.

- Kelly, April 2016
Alison March 2016

“The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay; all new furnishings, spotlessly clean, finishing touches, every detail was included.”

Situated in a peaceful location, very quiet. The owners were very helpful and we would definitely recommend the property to friends and family. We would love to return one day.

- Alison, March 2016

“Nice people and super location.”

The apartment was fine in all ways.

- Christopher, June 2014
Calum June 2014

“Good location for walks and sightseeing.”

Very close to road connections in the region; but still felt rural and quiet. We were made to feel most welcome by our host and found her to be very helpful. Cottage was lovely and very comfortable. Milton was a very picturesque hamlet; although driving down the narrow country lanes was a bit daunting at first, we soon got used to it and sussed out when best to avoid other road users. We were fortunate to enjoy wonderful weather, so made good use of it through day trips and scenic walks and really did not have time to visit any of the big house attractions or museums in the area. Good base for visiting the Southern Lakes and surrounding area.

- Calum, June 2014
John June 2014

“Greystones is lovely and the way it is set out is very good, 3 floors - Bedrooms top and bottom and kitchen diner/ Lounge in between, A lovely couple run it and they are close enough to solve any problems but leave you to enjoy your holiday.”

I would recommend this to anyone.

- John, June 2014
Laura June 2013

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greystones and would recommend it highly to anyone wanting a pastoral location in the Lake District.”

- Laura, June 2013
Colin March 2013

“Plenty of places to explore around the area.”

The property was new, comfortable and modern. The owner and family were lovely.

About the location

MILNTHORPE

Arnside 3 miles; Silverdale 6 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

Milnthorpe, once an important medieval market town, is located in the South Lakes between Kendal and Carnforth, just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside. Reminders of the town's history can still be found today amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more common than a four-wheel drive. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall (historic and beautiful stately homes with their deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens) provide a great day out for visitors. Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest are also all within easy reach and well worth a visit. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.

Note: This property does not accept bookings for less than 3 nights.
