Self Catering in Cumbria - Windermere

SYKES COTTAGES CANCELLED THE DAY BEFORE OUR HOLIDAY
We were due on 18 august 2017 however we received a phone call from SYKES stating that there were problems with the cottage and they had to cancel our stay there. This had been booked since Jan 2017 This was chosen as we were taking 1 dog, SYKES offered us 3 alternatives but none were suitable for our needs. We were later told that the property had been found to be in a poor state & generally unclean & in need of re decoration, also the washing machine was faulty, they offered a 50% reduction if we wanted to stay there ( not likely ) We will be given a 100% refund but have been told that no compensation would be payable as they had offered us 3 unsuitable alternatives or a 50% discount. Tried to find alternatives but all fully booked, so a big fat NEGATIVE to SYKES for leaving us up the creak without a paddle ! Please bear this in mind when considering to use SYKES I now will stay well clear of this unprofessional company

This is a beautifully appointed property with everything you could need.The private jetty was a joy for my son who swam in it quite a bit and commented on how the birds were diving on him in the lake at night, which were bats of course. It was a cold wet week for July and we needed the heating on a lot and also the dryer to dry wet clothes and towels.

Perfection (well it was for me anyway ...)
Fantastic week in this unbelievably beautiful area of the country and Pine Lodge was just perfect. Just me and my dog (and he had a whale of a time.) Lodge was a delight to stay in, cosy, warm, very homely. Everything there you could need ... just wish I could have spent another week there. BUT ... I will be back. :-) Highly recommended for up to 4 adults, not really suitable for kiddies.

The location of the cottage was ideal and the property was excellent.

This being my first time in the Lake District, I thought the Lodge was great. I could walk to the number of towns around the lake.
