What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  We had such a brilliant stay at Little Winder, the cottage was perfect for us and our little dog.

  We enjoyed walks from the door step, (Including Athur’s Pike and Bonscale Pike) watched the red squirrels playing in the trees from the window and slept peacefully after days of hiking. The location and views from the cottages was superb. The cottage itself has a good sized entrance hall to take off your walking gear and a shared drying room next door to hang anything wet out on the heaters. The Amazon TV was great and we just logged into our Netflix in the evening or watched the free view channels from the comfy sofa. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook tea each night, there isn’t a freezer on its own just a small compartment in the fridge but we only needed ice so no issue for us. The bed was big and comfortable, the shower was compact but lovely and powerful and hot. There was a secure dog field to let the dog off the lead and have a good play. The hosts were brilliant, made sure we had everything we needed and left us a welcome gift which was such a nice touch. We would definitely stay again.

  We had a wonderful week staying at Winder Ghyll in May.

  The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the Lakes, and it was great to be so close to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. The Winder Cottages site itself is beautiful with unbeatable views of the surrounding countryside. It is wonderful for wildlife lovers too! From the comfort of the cottage, we saw red squirrels feeding and playing around the tree mere metres away, flashes of a stoat scurrying past the window, and a wonderful array of birds. We also spent enjoyable evenings sitting out in the garden area, watching and listening to tawny owls in the wooded area til long after sunset. The cottage has pretty much everything you need, and the welcome biscuits were a lovely surprise! We would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to return ourselves!

  We had a lovely stay at this cottage and the dogs loved the paddock for a good run around.

  Everything was superb about the location and the the cottage itself very comfortable and warm and cosy. We had some very cold nights but once you lit the gas fire burner in the sitting room you were soon snug. The only downsides was lack of plugs downstairs to charge phones etc you had none as all of them had something in them lights or torches on charge etc and the terrible air leaks in the water system you had to put on the shower tap nothing would come out so you would then run the basin and it soon flowed. It was a knack and we soon got used to it. But otherwise a fantastic place and would return again.

  This cottage ticked absolutely every box for us.

  We had a fantastic stay with our two little dogs. It was soooo comfy & relaxing and watching 4 red squirrels munching on their breakfast as we ate ours was just lovely. If you are after a peaceful, quiet stay with the most idyllic view then this is the cottage. At night you can see the lights of Penrith twinkling down the fell. It is magical. Wi fi was brilliant, l know given the peaceful & tranquil setting we shouldn't need it but it was spot on. The owners are easy to contact and very approachable & helpful. The best we have ever stayed in & we will visit again (& again). Liz & Patrick.
