  Beautiful country cottage, huge enclosed garden, hot tub was absolutely amazing!

  !!!!! Beds and towels were nice and clean, Location was ideal. Would recommend as Everything you need in a holiday home. However some repairs and general maintenance is required. Toilet seat broken in utility room/bathroom. Shower rail needs re attaching in middle bathroom, cracked broken tiles on attick bathroom onsuite floor, unfortunately due to time of year we were inundated with swarms of flys, had to purchase fly paper and change them ourselves as they were full to bursting and flys dropping of on to sofa, floor and TV stand. Carpet needs a deep clean as heavily stained, plenty of crockery however literally just shoved in cupboards everywhere and some were dirty. Couldn't use some draws in twin room as had no handles on 3 of them to open. Double bed needs re tightening was very wobbly and creeky, mattresses in twin room were very poor quality, couldn't use bbq as was absolutely filthy. no tea towels, no cleaning detergent eg, provide a dish washer but no pods. Had to go and purchace wash up liquid, bleach, a dishcloth, tea towel, fly spray, fly paper, and bin bags. On our arrival there was a sack full of dirty linen and towels just left on top of stairs, we had no use for highchair however it was left full of sticky jam dried in food that was covered in flys! overall needs attention to detail in cleanliness and minor repairs. Also no re cycling facilities. Internet connection was indeed PERFECT! Would rate it as 7 out if 10!

  Our stay at Winder Green was a last minute arrangement, due to our booking at a different property being cancelled less than 24 hours before arrival.

  Sykes offered us Winder Green based on the location of our previous property and party size (including a dog). Despite our initial disappointment at the last minute change, we had a fantastic Easter weekend at Winder Green. Ged and Julie went above and beyond to turn the property around for our stay and we really appreciated them reaching out to us directly to welcome us, with additional resources to enhance our stay. The children (& grown ups) were very touched to be greeted with an Easter egg for each child. The property was warm, clean and comfortable. We only gave a 4 for comfort due to the smaller double bed. The kitchen was well equipped and we were treated to a lovely box of biscuits, milk and tea/coffee provisions. What was really special about our stay was the views and the immediate surroundings. The children loved watching the red squirrels, pheasants and rabbits and you could easily loose a few hours peacefully enjoying the outdoor sitting area. You truly feel like you’re miles from anywhere and the absence of light pollution too made it a great location for star gazing. We spent time adventuring on the fells and the proximity to Pooley Bridge made walks accessible. The steamer was a highlight for the kids. The laundry and boot room were very much welcomed. We would definitely return - there is so much more to explore in the area.

  Low Garth is an extensive cottage in a quiet setting with plenty of room for a family of four, or visitors with dogs.

  Access was via a short track with plenty of room for parking a short distance from the cottage. Although the cottage is adjoining the owners property they had a separate access and garden area so privacy was not a problem. We enjoyed our stay using the cottage as a base to explore the northern area of the Lake District for walks or visits to the many attractions nearby. The cottage is spacious and well fitted out with a delightful sunroom facing south-east at the back. We had two dogs with us and there was plenty of room to sit out on warm afternoons in the sunroom, planning our next walk, and also use it for a storage area for our walking gear and the towels needed for two dogs! Outside there is a large garden with room to exercise the dogs or sit out if the weather is suitable and also a decking area for relaxing in the sun.

  I was extremely disappointed with the cleanliness of the sofa, I had to put a throw (my own) on it before I could sit on it .

  We could only use the top oven, the tap in the kitchen dripped continuously. The bed in the top bedroom is literally inches off the floor there was no way I could have got in / out of it which is a shame as that looked like the best room with en-suite . There were ‘don’t do this/ make sure you do’ notices everywhere. As a base for getting around the local area it was lovely. Getting in the hot tub was not ideal the steps outside were not on the same side as the steps inside the hot tub. The steps going upto the lawn were not safe. And one of the stairs in the cottage needs attention.The photos on the website whilst they looked like the cottage they give an illusion of space, it is a small and compact cottage. Would I book this cottage again ? No.

  The property was mostly clean but definitely smelt like dogs had been there - like the carpets and furniture needed a clean.

  I had to buy a scented candle to mask the smell in the living room. Kitchen had everything you needed. Hot tub was excellent especially after a days walking. I think a new mattress in the double and king are needed as they were really uncomfortable and moulded into shape by many other users. Everything was a bit tired. The Sun Inn was a great local pub - serving good wholesome food. We have been spoilt by previous properties as we have always had a welcome pack awaiting us. I thought we may have been given some fresh milk and bread at the very least but there was none. On the bright side there were teabags and wash up.liquid. To put things into perspective none of this put us off. We have had a wonderful week's holiday and would come again.
