  There are lots of positives about the house.

  Great location and on a quiet road too. Didn't have a problem parking but we staying midweek so can't say what it would be like at the weekend. The front area is gated so great for ensuring dogs (and little children) can't get onto the road. It's only 5 minute walk to the town centre and also to Hope Park (which is lovely by the river if want to take children to a play area) nice cafe in the park too. Can also watch cricket match! The house is well provisioned, great kitchen with plenty of worktops. Comfy furniture in the lounge area although it is compact so if six people sitting in the lounge I can imagine it's a little cosy. Didn't use the fire as visit in May but looks great. Bedrooms are good size and the bed we used in the main bedroom was firm which we like. Bathrooms are great size with walk in showers. Water was hot and the one time heating came on (not sure why) heaters were hot very quickly. Nice back yard that got the morning sun. The few negatives are: Couldn't close the door on the dishwasher so handwashed, not a problem as only two of us. But would need resolving. Light bulbs out in a few lights in dining area, couldn't get main light over the table to work. Garden chairs in yard are very rusty so couldn't sit on them when it was nice in the yard, but there was a bench which was fine. I noticed someone fed back that the decor is 'tired', but it's fine, especially as this is a holiday home and will get heavy use. It's also an old house so there will be some cosmetic issues that show but it doesn't detract from the clear efforts that the owners have put into renovating the house and making it comfortable for the stay. Would we stay in the house again, yes. It has everything needed for a nice break in the Lake District and was reasonable in price to rent.

  We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property.

  It was generally comfortable and very clean on arrival. First impressions from outside weren’t great as there was a full skip in front of the property which stayed throughout our stay. However, inside it was well equipped and the layout was good for three of us and the dog. It would have been nice to have a little tea/coffee for the first evening but this is a small thing and there were some dishwasher tablets which we appreciated. Bathrooms were big and clean. Shame about the dreadful design of the tiles in the main bathroom which I presumed were dirty/mouldy but it was just the bizarre design. Personal choice I suppose. Overall the stay was good but we’ve stayed at more welcoming places in Keswick in the past and would probably try somewhere else next time.

  Me, my husband and my 2 dogs had the immense pleasure of being the first people to stay in Style Cottage.

  What a wonderful cottage it is and such a great week we had. The cottage had everything we needed and was so cosy. I absolutely loved the decor, so beautifully presented and the stone wall from top to bottom was so rustic and perfectly suited to the cottage. The bed was huge and so comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful with a great shower and bath. The muddy paws and boots room was a brilliant idea, particularly the huge metal dog shower unit. We could properly clean our dogs before entering the main house. The garden was also lovely and great for the dogs. I can't praise this beautiful home from home enough and we will most definitely be booking again

  We had a great holiday in our favourite place!

  Lovely cottage, very cosy and great location. One downfall, no cleaning products provided at all other than some washing up liquid. We had to go out and buy cleaning products for the kitchen and bathroom, these have always been provided in all the other cottages we have stayed in. There was a welcome pack - nice wine - thank you - however the milk was all out of date. Great cottage, great location just a shame let down by a few issues that could simply be avoided. One thing that the cottage would benefit from is a hairdryer! Would definitely stay again!

  We had a wonderful time at your beautiful cottage.

  Its was so warm and comfortable. Excellently located close to Keswick centre with easy parking. We will definitely look to come back again. One slight mix up/issue. On the day of leaving the cleaners arrived at 10am however the email details we had from Sykes said to leave by 11am. We were nearly all packed and then we were about to give the place a clean ourselves, but couldn't. There seems to be a miscommunication somewhere if the emails from Sykes are saying to leave at 11am but cleaner's are arriving at 10am.
