Good, but not great
The location was great.
We requested an infant cot and were told there was a travel cot available and to provide our own sheets. However, the host was unable to tell us what size sheets to supply. We have a four-month old baby, so if the sheets are too big or too small for the mattress it creates an unsafe sleep environment and increases the risk of SIDS. We explained this to the host, but they were unable to confirm the correct sheet sizes. In the end we carried our own cot on the train - not a great way to start a holiday during a heatwave!!!
The property also didn't supply face cloths / wash cloths, so we had to use the limited hand towels for washing our face and body. They also don't provide kitchen cooking basics - salt, pepper, oil, etc.
Check out is at 9am, but there doesn't seem to be a reason for this because no one shows up to see how your stay was, collect the key, or start cleaning. We had to remove all bedding from the beds and put them into a bag, as well as wash all the dishes in the kitchen. For such an early check out, and such a late check in, I'd have excepted the cleaners to manage this.
When you get email updates about your booking, expect to receive 2-3 emails, all saying the same thing, each time. It makes finding the key code quite challenging if you forgot to write it down and are searching on your phone...

Great cottage, walk to everything. Rather let down by cleaners and management company
Small house, very well renovated, combi boiler so plenty of hot water. Central heating excellent. Electric mock fire in lounge rather strange (green flame effect… green!??) but it does work. Bed very comfortable. Owner has clearly gone to extreme efforts to make an excellent holiday base; even has a set of Lake District walking maps and various guide books- much appreciated. Kitchen very good- induction stove, oven, all excellent. All up a fantastic cottage- let down only by the management company and their selected cleaners.
Well located for walks, also close for bus towards Penright and Ambleside direction.
This is another place Sykes Cottages have got some control over, though the direct management seems to be through Lakes Cottage Holidays. I booked through Booking.com, so presumably there are 3 layers taking a cut before anything trickles down to the owner…. As with all Sykes rentals, MULTIPLE emails from Sykes, 19 in all, most saying absolutely nothing. Irritating to search through that lot on arrival day looking for the lock-box number. And of course Sykes are uncontactable if you have booked through a “partner company” such as booking.com.
Cleaners need 7 hours to clean the house- notice in the guest book explains that this is for SAFETY and as such, they are “currently carrying out extensive sanitisation and disinfection procedures during guest’s changeovers”… Sounds great but the cleaners didn’t even manage to empty full-to-choking point vacuum cleaner and left us with 2 partly used toilet rolls. Presumably so busy on the extensive sanitation that they missed this. And the cleaners really need a bit of help- so in addition to checking out by 9am, visitors are required to strip beds and place sheets in a bag supplied by the laundry company. Half empty container of liquid hand soap supplies the bathroom…

Been waiting before I do this review as it could have been different if I'd had a quicker resolution.
Good points: Excellent location. The house is very well kitted out with everything you need. Smart TV so you can log into your Netflix & Prime accounts. Very comfortable bed & pillows. Very handy having a dishwasher.
Reported boiler fault on Christmas morning & a maintenance man attended within 2 hours.
Stayed 5 nights Inc Christmas. Paid a premium for this.
Barely decorated for Christmas, 2 ornaments above the fire, a teeny tiny Christmas tree & lights round bottom of living room window. I had emailed them the week before to find out if the place was decorated for Christmas but had no reply!
Boiler packed up on Christmas morning with no central heating & no hot water. (There was an electric fire in the living room, could also be used but noisy) Maintenance man couldn't fix boiler, left us with 3 plug-in radiators to keep us warm but no hot water. Meant when we went out had to come back into a cold house as can't leave radiators plugged in when leaving house. Had to boil a kettle & run up & down stairs with it for washing as unable to have showers. (Shower connected to mains not built in shower unit!) Boil kettle for washing up things that don't fit in little dishwasher.
Had msg on Boxing Day to say someone would be in touch ref compensation. Heard nothing so chased 5th Jan. It was as if they'd only just heard about it. Apparently, now waiting for the owners to decide whether some recompense is justified, 8th Jan still waiting.
