Very close to lovely countryside and walks right outside yr door.

- Mrs Aveyard, July 2019
“Lovely cottage and location with easy access to all routes.”

Thoroughly enjoyable week.

- Mrs Long, July 2019
“We weren't told that the buses only ran 3 times a day and finished at 5pm.”

It would have cost a lot of money to come back from town in a taxi in the evening. Once we realised most of our holiday money would go on taxis we cut the holiday short and left on the second day. The cottage was not how it looked on the picture. The red settee was replaced by a two-seater and two old chairs. We couldn't lock the back door properly and couldn't get the internet to work. There were no nearby shops or pubs. Again we would have needed a taxi. On the plus side the cottage was clean and the beds comfortable and the surrounding area stunning. But I definitely would not go back.

- Miss Grierson, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you were not aware of bus schedules, this is a country location and if you have any queries of this nature this should be looked into before booking. I appreciate your comments on the furniture this has been replaced with a new settee and new chairs. The back door is something that does need attention but it certainly does lock. With regards to the internet we have never had a problem with this before and if you had contacted us maybe we could have helped you. We have a couple of village pubs which are within half an hour walk from the property. I am really disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay, we are very proud of our property and as you can see from all our other feedback our guests normally have a lovely stay. Owner relations
“Classic stone cottage, set in a lovely rural, and quiet setting, the main A roads just a few minutes away.”

Owners, Janet and Alan are very pleasant, as were the local residents of the village. Cottage cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended. Usual high standard that we have always enjoyed from Sykes Holidays, highly recommended too. Jeremy and Carole Keen

- Mr Keen, May 2019

Everything what we needed. Would book again. Quiet location 20 mins from windermere. Friendly neighbours can't argue.

- Mr Larkin, February 2019

“2nd visit to this lovely cottage.”

Nice location in lovely village of Sedgwick. Great play park behind cottage. Busy through road so extra care with young children!

- Mrs Wilson, July 2018
“It was a lovely cottage, the cookies and milk were very much appreciated.”

The neighbours were friendly and helpful in giving us ideas for local walks and activities

- Mrs Richard, July 2018
“The Wilson cottage was spotless, beds extremely comfortable, clean fresh linen and towels.”

The extra touches like tea,coffee, sugar, condiments and milk in fridge showed the care and thought the owners had put into making guests feel very we come. I would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing and stress free break and we will definitely use this cottage again. Thank you to owners for making our break extra special and we had absolutely no complaints regarding cottage.

- Mr Mccormick, May 2018
“We stayed at this cottage last week for a week and really had a nice time.”

The cottage is not too far when you come out of the M6 and very convenient to travel around in the Lake District. The owner did come to say hello which was really nice. She event bought a brand new cot for our little daughter. Everything you need are in the cottage. We will definitely visit again.

- Mr Tennekoon, March 2018
“Wilson’s cottage was quite old fashioned but charming.”

It was very comfortable and had everything I needed for my weeks stay. I would definitely book it again. The only downside was that because of its age, it wasn’t terribly efficient heating wise. The radiators worked well but downstairs I needed the extra help of the gas fire which didn’t work. Otherwise lovely!

- Mrs Barry, February 2018
“Great cottage in a lovely area.”

Within easy travel distance of many popular locations in the Lakes and some good dog walks on the doorstep. We will book again

- Mrs Hockey, December 2017
“Great location.”

Walks from the doorstep. Take time to visit the Strikland Arms, which is 5mins drive. Great food & beers. The cottage was pure comfort, warm, comfortable bed, clean & quirky. Well done to the owners. We will visit again.

- Mr Foston, November 2017
“Stayed at this cottage in April and returned again in October.”

Does that say it all.

- Mr Sedgwick, September 2017
“The cottage was within easy distance to the Lake district via car.”

The cottage was well equipped and was a good size for 4 adults. Although the kitchen is small, I was able to cook some of our evening meals there.

- Miss Leach, September 2017

Sedgwick is a small, quiet village approx 4.5 miles south of Kendal. A historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond.
