The cottage is beautifully presented, with three well sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, leaving the main bathroom as a private bathroom for bedroom three. Downstairs the lounge, dining room and kitchen are well equipped. With an attached sun room accessed from the rear there is plenty of room to leave footwear and wet clothing, not something we needed as we had fine weather."

It's an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of the country. All the facilities in the cottage are good. The open fire was great, we lit it a few times for a bit of ambiance.

"Excellently decorated interior ( the kids loved the big telly! ) beds were a bit hard and had trouble sleeping , could have done with some more literature of places to visit , as we went to Grange over sands which was a bit of a dump. The location was not remote enough for our liking , we had a workshop next door to us , and the weather was also a bit pants , not our best Sykes experience i'm afraid."

"The property was of very high standard and as this was the first time we've stayed in a holiday cottage we've been totally spoiled. The decor was excellent and there was such a homely feel from the moment we stepped in. There was so much space in every room and we had plenty of room that the two families that stayed there didn't get under one anothers feet (4 adults, 2 four year olds and a 6 month old). The cottage was ideally located, close to many places to visit and Lindale itself was very quaint and quiet. Couldn't fault the property at all - excellent."

"Our time spent in the Lake District was Ace. Everything about our goliday there was great,the cottage was everything we wished for and more,would highly recommend it. Good base to stay, as there is so much to see and do around the area. Lindale is a nice little village, with a good pub at top of the hill, good food served,with nice friendly staff. Grange-Over-Sands which is a ten minute drive away, is a small town with excellent shops ,and eating places. Not to be missed,as it has lots of features from the Edwardian times. We shall go back thats for sure,as it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wide open spaces that the Lakes have to offer.Just beautiful."

"Having arrived at the cottage in LINDALE rather earlier than the allocated time, we were met by a young lady who had just finished cleaning it.She was absolutely brilliant and told us everything we wanted to know about the cottage and surrounding area. This is definately the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It is very big and spacious, and finished to a very high specification, situated in a great location for exploring the South Lakes area. There are two pubs nearby, but I wouldnt recommend the bottom one for eating. The one at the top of the hill is far better and has a lovely beer garden if the weather is nice.Be aware, however, that the shop / post office isn't open all day so bring enough supplies for the first couple of days. The supermarkets and shops in Grange-Over-Sands, which is a short drive away ,are well stocked for everything needed during a stay at the cottage. There is nothing negative that I could say about this cottage. It is the best we have ever stayed in and I doubt we will find one as good anywhere in the uk"
