“We arrived at the cottage and everything was set to make us really welcome, including a home made cake set on a stand, milk in the fridge and biscuits so we were able to kick back and have tea before sorting ourselves out.”

Everything was clean and tidy with no shortage of anything. I would highly recommend this cottage and should I return to the Lake District I would certainly try and book this cottage again.

“We really enjoyed our recent visit to the lovely Dairy Cottage.”

We used the cottage as a base to explore the Lake District and although the weather wasn’t kind some days, that didn’t stop us making the most of the week and exploring. The cottage is just as pictured, very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had 2 teenage girls with us and I was a little concerned that the second bedroom was going to be a squeeze but was pleased to find that it was bigger than it looked and a decent size for the two of them. The homemade chocolate cake on arrival was a lovely touch and there was lots of information provided on the local amenities and area - which was also really helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

“Quite often you see pictures of places in brochures or on website, and when you arrive, you are left slightly disappointed.”

It’s not what it looked like in the photos. Definitely not the case here. I would even say the photos don’t do the Dairy Cottage enough justice. The place is immaculate. Has a cottage feel about it while still feeling modern. Beds were very comfortable too. Normally getting a good sleep is difficult when it isn’t your own bed. Not here, everyone slept really well. There’s plenty of things to do and places to see for families within an hours drive of the cottage too. I would highly recommend the Dairy Cottage to anyone and the same for booking through Sykes Cottages. Would use both again with no hesitation. Absolutely no issues with anything whatsoever. Thank you.

“A lovely clean and well equipped and decorated cottage in a peaceful setting.”

Will certainly stay again if in this area. Highly recommend.

- Mrs Atkinson, June 2019
“This is a beautiful and totally immaculate cottage.”

Perfect base to explore the lakes from. The owners seemed to have thought of everything you might need in a really well equipped kitchen. Couldn't fault it, we were very happy with the cottage.

- Mrs Issitt, May 2019
“The cottage was very cosy and comfortable.”

It had everything we needed plus extra touches like a lovely cake and milk waiting for us on arrival. We would definitely recommend Dairy Cottage to anyone looking for a break away. Thank you!

- Mrs Baron, April 2019
“We have been going to Dairy Cottage for many years.”

The location suits us and the standard of the cottage is at the top. You really couldn't wish for a better equiped cottage, cleanliness is excellent and the cottage owners are wonderful people.

- Mrs Purdon, August 2018
“We really loved the facilities at Dairy Cottage, it had everything you needed and much more.”

Also great to have the little extras like a nice chocolate cake and milk in the fridge. Great base for the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and the Pennines.

- Mrs Rose, July 2018
“Dairy Cottage at Newby was perfect for our needs.”

It's well appointed, well maintained and extremely well presented. The quiet country location suited us too.

- Mr Turner, July 2018
“Good base for walking the northern lakes and Pennines”

- Mr Brand, June 2018
“Perfect and peaceful”

We stayed here for a long weekend when my partner did the Windermere marathon. It was absolutely spotless and had a lovely cosy feel. There was everything you might need here and although traditional in style, the kitchen and bathroom are newly refurbished and tastefully modern. We both slept so well and really felt at home. We would definitely come and stay here again and will be recommending the cottage to friends and family.

“An absolute gem!”

What a beautiful find - a dog friendly cottage that is absolutely spotless. We arrived to milk in the fridge, chocolate cake & a friendly note from the owners. Beds were comfortable, shower was great, so many thoughtful touches: hairdryer, hoover, DVDs. Our stay flew in! The location is so peaceful and picturesque. I would like to thank the owners for going that extra mile, we really appreciated it & will be recommending you to all our friends & family!

“Outstanding”

The cottage was outstanding and very comfortable. Everything we could have wanted, and more, was supplied. I would recommend this as a lovely cottage to spend time in.

“A very sweet experience”

We enjoyed every second of our stay. This cottage is very welcoming, peaceful and clean with all the comforts of home. It is in a very quiet location and an ideal spot to recharge your batteries. The cottage not only had lots of flowers in but the fridge was stocked with fresh milk and a very nice chocolate cake. Very thoughtful. We will be back again.

“Restful”

The accomodation is second to none, everything you need, Very well kept and comfortable. Wonderful location to explore the Lakes, but also a wonderful place for peace and quiet. Weather was kind to say it had snowed all the week before,

“cosy traditional cottage but with all mod cons”

We stayed in oct/nov half term. The cottage was warm, very clean and well equipped, we just could not fault it.The welcome pack on the table was a super surprise after a long journey from Essex. I have recommended this to work colleagues and friends. There is lots to see in the Ullswater area even in the rain.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, November 2012
“Very enjoyable”

On arrival the cottage was very clean and welcoming, with a homely feel. It was easy to find and the village was lovely although there were no shops or pubs etc it was just what we wanted as Shap was only 8-10 mins away. We havde always stayed in the Lakes before and were so pleased to have made this choice. Roll on next year!!!

- Brenda Targett, October 2012
“Cosey and homely cottage in a lovely peaceful location”

The objective was to get an affordable part week accommodation near to the Lake Districk mountains. We got this but the lovely extra touches by the owner, such as homemade cake on arrival, made the stay extra special. If they had had an open roaring fire I would have tried to buy the place there and then.
