Hello I am sorry to do theirs but I would like to raise a complaint at the issues we have had during our stay For the whole visit we had hot water for approximately half of one day the rest of the stay the water was cold we could not shower or wash properly the electrician came and fitted a new part on the hot water but this did not improve the issue the water was hot and went cold so quick that only two people could be showered before the water went cold this was terrible for such a large party and new born babies The fridge was in a complete state the smell was terrible and there was rancid waste products behind the fridge we could not use the fridge for approx 36 hours I had to pull the fridge out clean it and disinfect the floors I do not know how the cleaners could miss this There was animal faecies all around the grounds right outside the double patio doors my daughter stood in it when we arrived We did not bring our pets so do not expect this at all There was black mould and damp in the bath rooms this is terrible and not safe at all The upstairs bedroom second from the right the window leaked causing damage to my daughters MacBook Air laptop this now does not switch on I am going to have to get this repaired The bedroom on the far right the radiator nobs are broken and cannot be adjusted causing discomfort during the night The bathroom/shower upstairs on the far right had shelves hanging of the wall The down stairs bedroom had a leak coming from the ceiling leaving water marks on the ceiling At the top of the stairs on the landing the floor was damaged and not load bearing this was unsafe The overall state of the cottage was under maintained and frankly the stay was very unpleasant I had to complain on numerous occasions about things I do not think the cottage was cleaned prior to our stay I spoke to the shop keeper and we nearly went home on day two the only reason we stayed was the adverse weather We came to the cottage with the intent to try it prior to our wedding in September we were hoping to book the whole grounds for our guests I find this very disappointing The cost of the cottage was high for four nights especially when we had no hot water also the other issues we faced The whole party think this trip was ruined The cottage has such potential and looks beautiful but in truth we are very disappointed I have photographs of some of the issues

At first glance on arrival I was impressed with the property and the amount of rooms / bathrooms and thought our week with our whole family will be an enjoyable one.
I have been to many properties and had large family gatherings and never had to write a poor review but I feel I need to let other potential guests know what they are paying for as it is incredibly expensive. Firstly the garden was not enclosed as stated and our small dogs could get out, we tried to barricade the area so they were able to enjoy the garden but this did not work and when one escaped and we were trying to find her we came across the owner who was rude and told me they should be on a lead at all times, even in the garden. I think it is important to notify future guests that the owner spends 3 days a week near the property and regularly turns up being rude and intrusive. There are cameras everywhere which makes you have feel that you are being watched constantly. The other properties are very close together which is misleading on the website. The animals are all very lovely however the area is rat infested and the young children were mortified when they went to pet a goat and it was covered in blood from fighting the other animals. There is a laundry room which we were told we could use and every time someone went in there the owner turned up (so clearly watching on the cameras) being rude and saying we should have bought more clothes with us, in our defence we only had to use the washing facilities for swimwear as the hot tub was a swamp and made everything smell horrendous. Speaking of the hot tub on our return from a day out (which the kids were all excited for the hot tub) we came back to a note on the hot tub saying it was being cleaned and could not be used, yes it desperately needed a clean however it would have been nice if this was done for our arrival instead of during our stay. I would not recommend staying here unless you love being watched, would like a pet rat, enjoy being spoken to rudely and made to feel like you are encroaching on someoneâs property and not wanted there. It is a shame because it could be a lovely place to get together with family, if only the owner actually wanted you there and the site wasnât misleading.

A good house for a large group of people in a great location however there were a few minor irritations that with a bit of attention could have made so much difference.
2 of the bedrooms downstairs had little or no hanging space, why no hooks on doors then? Super king beds but king size bedding so nothing fitted. No information folder so when a light bulb blew and tripped the fuse for the lighting circuit downstairs we could not find the fuse box. Eventually managed to reach the help number provided the next morning. Apparently the fuse box is in the garage, with the key for that in the porch, no it wasnât, but another call informed us that a new key safe had been added in the car port so we were given the code for that and were able to sort the problem. No replacement bulbs though, or for the light fitting in the living room that had some missing. In the kitchen the bulbs above the sink are missing/ not working so difficult to wash up. One tiny sponge scourer left, one tea towel. Not really adequate for 10 people cooking every day for a week even with the dishwasher working overtime. It is difficult to know exactly what to expect in a house but other places we have stayed in have been far more comprehensively stocked. The shower cabinet in one room had a sliding door which was off the track and difficult to close as some of the runners had broken. This problem was notified to the number given but as we managed to get it back in the track enough to be able to just about close it nothing was done. Inside the cabinet there was black mould in the track which could only be seen from inside with the door closed so unlikely to be seen by the cleaner. No cleaning materials left so we were unable to clean it ourselves. We understand that the place is owned by a business rather than an individual owner which explained perhaps why it lacked personal touches. I hope this doesnât sound like finding fault for the sake of it but with a bit of care and attention it could be so much better.

Incredible property and setting let down by lack of household sundries/equipment.
The property itself has been recently refurbished to a very high level but a lot of the equipment just do not match the finish. All kitchen crockery/utensils/cookware are IKEA, which is often fine, but sometimes these are flimsy and feels like a corner has been cut here. Considering the level of rent and quality of property, many items were not provided/overlooked which made the stay not as relaxed as it should be: 1. No barbecue. The garden and patio are gorgeous so why not provide a barbecue for guests to use? 2. No hand soaps in any of the toilets/bathrooms and kitchen. 3. Lack of basic cleaning products like toilet cleaner etc. 4. Only one cutting board for a property that sleeps 8. I purchased an extra one and left it at the house to save the next occupants the stress of cooking for 8 using just one board. 5. Only one mixing bowl. etc. When I called up to talk through the points above I was told (a little rudely) that this was a self-catered property so these items would not be provided. Whilst I understand that Sykes mostly does self-catered holiday lets, the quality of this rental property does mean it is reasonable to expect it to come with these basics. Also, might be worthwhile going around and snagging the house as it seems a few pieces of refurbishment evidence are still around. Plastic wrapper left of fire alarm, the plastic film left or refrigerator corners etc. Also might be worthwhile to switch around the hinge of the refrigerator so it opens out into the kitchen rather than straight up against the wall. Perhaps just a couple of reclining lounge chairs and a parasol for the garden would also be ideal. I think most of the above is just some relatively minor teething issues and once these are sorted this really will be a dream holiday home!

Lovely large house in extensive grounds.
Bedrooms (all ensuite) really comfortable and clean. Helpfully numbered (guessing previously a hotel) which helped with allocating rooms and remembering who was where. Great to have the bedrooms on ground floor extention plus the flat on the top floor, which meant everyone had their own space and sound didn't carry.. The kitchen was well equipped (no scissors that we could find), you need to bring all food including salt and pepper. Communal areas could be cleaner, dining room tables sticky and kitchen needed a clean too. Cobwebs to be expected in old house. Loads of comfortable room for being together, to eat in the conservatory dining room or relax in the 2 adjoining sitting rooms. The little bar and reception are cute. Outside areas great! A mini farm, sheep, pigs (which were let out to eat the grass, so sweet and friendly) sheep and peacocks too. The kids and adults in our family loved them! Lots of sitting areas outside plus the games room with a small table tennis which we used a lot, and hot tub and sauna. The hot tub got a bit dirty in spite of everyone showering pre use, I think with so many people it could do with a mid week clean. We did message Sykes but no response til after we were home. Lovely area with lots to do locally, we loved the Shack, just up the road driving or walking away from Ulverston, for ice cream and food (including good vegan options) overlooking the beach. The Bardsea llama and Alpaca experience was fab too. We had problems with our Barrow tesco delivery as they couldn't find us, recommend click and collect instead if you're using them. Fabulous family holiday. Everyone really enjoyed the house thank you.
