It was everything we were looking for to escape our busy lives and just switch off and relax. First thing to mention is that the map on Sykes Cottages doesnât take you to the right place. Best to use what 3 words and type in ///ship.simmer.frost. Itâs obvious when youâre in the right place as you can clearly see the lodges from the road and thereâs a clear entrance. Itâs an absolutely stunning lodge, clean and cosy, and very well laid out to accommodate 4 guests although there were only 2 of us and a little basket of complimentary snacks which was a lovely touch. Having read others reviews, we would agree that space for storage was a bit of a challenge as the bedrooms are snug and with no underbed space, and just a coat hanger rail, it did mean our suitcases had to be kept at the side of the beds that weâd have to step over, but there are small drawers in the bedside tables. We used the 2nd bedroom for storage but would be a bit more challenging for a family of 4, but should not put you off staying at this beautiful place! The beds were comfy, I would say theyâre about medium firmness, we have a firmer mattress at home but had no issues and had good nights sleep. Mattresses are a personal preference and itâs impossible to get it right for everyone, so anyone concerned about mattresses should consider bringing their own suitable topper instead of giving this lovely place less of a rating! We do feel that instead of the sofa in the kitchen, it would be a good idea for some kind of wardrobe space to be placed there instead, as there is a lovely sofa in the little snug lounge anyway. The kitchen had everything we needed and all the condiments are provided (tea, coffee, sugar, UHT milk, but we did bring our own milk just in case). There were adequate toilet rolls and fairy liquid, sponge and tea towels provided for dishes. We didnât use the dishwasher as there were only 2 of us. One thing we didnât think of to bring was cooking oil for the pans. We only used the frying pan but a small amount of oil would have been useful to have there as the pan isnât non stick! We did go and buy some but the food still stuck in the frying pan, although it helped. The hot tub was amazing! Perfect for soaking after a long hike! Top tip for anyone using this in the winter months and thereâs only 2 of you, if you only fold half of the lid back it stops the water cooling too quickly, and then you also have a platform to put your plastic glasses on, as there isnât really anything around it to rest them on securely. The floating drinks holder is not worth the risk! We are lucky to only live 45 mins away from this place and we cannot wait to come back again for another escape! Thank you so much to the owners for creating such a lovely place. We will be recommending to friends and family!!

The views from the lodges were spot on, the site is peaceful and you have your own private space. Iâd recommend to anyone, staff were mint. My partner and I will 100% be returning!
