Lovely cottage with a pretty garden to sit out in.. Bigger than appears in the photos & very clean. Would happily stay here again. Few tiny things need attention - microwave turntable doesn’t turn & bathroom door upstairs is getting very sticky. We found the beds rather soft but know that is personal thing. The barbecue was tucked away under covers in the shed so not sure if that’s useable or not. No info on it in the welcome pack. Kitchen equipment was good but sharp knife could do with replacing & some larger saucepans or wok / higher sided frying pan would be handy for one pot meals. There were only 2 of us so kitchen / diner worked well but might be a bit tight for 4 if all moving around at the same time. WiFi was fine but signal for an EE phone was patchy in the house. Vodafone was fine. Excellent location for accessing the Southern Lakes, Arnside & the Cumbrian coast. Had a lovely short walk on Humphrey Head for brilliant views of Morecambe Bay. It is in a village & there is a little road noise & cockerels locally so not for those seeking isolation! Happily recommend this property. We had a brilliant holiday.

Ms Tero, September 2020

Loved the cottage,the key is tricky to get especially if it’s dark, the double bed needs replacing,not very comfortable,but having said that there is everything you could possibly want,spotlessly clean and cosy,we wished it would have been cold enough to light the fire! ! Would stay again

Cottage was very nice apart from cockeral in adjoining property awaken us at 3.. 30 each morning as we were sleeping in back bedroom.

Ms Wells

May 2019

This was our third visit to Beacon High so we knew to expect high standards! We found everything great, just one small comment. All the drinking glasses are really small - maybe the large ones have been broken over the years, so we had to buy a large one for my husband to use as a water glass. Apart from that, the cottage is in a great location for exploring the southern lakes and Grange has a lovely cafe where we enjoyed several lunches and could buy their homemade dinners to take home and heat up. Also a great range of cakes to eat in or take home for later. Great chocolate shop just up the road too!

Mr Lopez Garcia

April 2019

Really beautiful house in a small quiet village.. It has a pretty front garden that is well looked after with a table and chair that we used for having breakfast outside. The house has been recently renovated and is very comfortable and clean. The only thing that I would suggest to improve the staying would be to provide towels (at least for the hands). Even though it was noted in advance, it is quite inconvenient to bring your own. In general we had a very pleasant time and we would definitely like to come back!

Ms Mendes

October 2018

We had a lovely stay.. We felt very comfortable straight away. Great to have another bathroom downstairs with the shower for my Mum. Everything was well thought out - the little tags with information were helpful - especially to find the pans/sauce pans under the oven, as the drawer was deceptive! Do a little homework before you get there to locate the house as I didn’t and instead my satnav took us just short of the property. We got there late at night and I had to rely on the GPS receiver on my phone to get us there In the dark. If I had checked properly on a map we would have got there there straight away! Property feels in a secure, beautiful location. With easy access to and from the property to quickly get on major routes to explore the Lakes.

Mr Hudspeth

September 2018

Pretty village location with plenty to do in the immediate area.. We enjoyed a high level of privacy whilst at the cottage, essential to us while on holiday. The Royal Oak in the village serves excellent meals ( booking is essential) and everyone was very welcoming. A regular bus service operates to Grange -Over - Sands and Kendal should you want to take a break from driving/ walking. All in all a very good week, the weather too, apart from one day,was fabulous.

Mr Moverley

August 2018

Just that the cot we requested was a travel cot which was kept under the stairs.. It smelled very musty and looked unclean. My daughter who had her 5 month old baby with her felt she couldn't possibly use it because of the smell etc. Fortunately she only planned to stop two nights with us and the baby had to sleep in a single bed with her which was not ideal. Other than that it was a lovely house and we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anybody.

Mrs Hamilton

Cottage was lovely - a little hard to find initially - perhaps could do with name of house at bottom of drive..

DECKCHAIR_13

June 2018

Lovely holiday cottage, nice quiet location near to village shop & pubs.. Had everything we needed, was very comfortable and clean. Very close to Lake Windermere and lots of other great locations. There is also a bus route that operates through the village. Only problem we had was with opening the key safe. Would recommend.

Mr Dyson

March 2018

We found this cottage ideal for our needs .. Quiet, close to other areas we wished to visit.

earnestSurrey

October 2017

The decor was of the highest standard and was a very comfortable cottage. Beware arriving when it's dark and wet though! No light left on and had to climb slippery wet steps in the pitch dark. Also difficult to locate 'green' shed in the dark where the key was located. One match left out with which to light a fire. Other than that, it was a delightful place.

It was absolut fantastic..

Mrs Martin

December 2016

Lovely cottage in lindale,bigger than we expected.. Met all our needs over the Christmas break.

Mr Simmons

September 2016

The cottage better than we expected.. The pictures don't do it justice. Just one small suggestion - would have been nice if a hairdryer was provided. It didn't occur to me that there wouldn't be one as all the cottages I've rented in the past have.

Mr Ayres

August 2016

Lovely cottage, perfectly located for visiting the Lakes and Cartmel Races.. The boys loved their bedroom - it was huge! It was a delight to sit in the traditional kitchen every morning, planning our days out. We would definitely come here again.

Mrs O Brien

July 2016

The cottage was comfortable, cosy in a good location to see The Lakes. We particularly enjoyed the garden and the open fire. We would recommend and would visit again.

Mr Seggar

A really lovely English country cottage in a nice quiet village which is an ideal location for exploring the Lake District National Park. The accommodation was very clean, with really nice traditional cottage d?cor and a peaceful patio area upon which to sit and relax while enjoying the colourful private garden. This was our first visit to this property, but as regular visitors to the Lakes I am certain this will become our regular retreat in future. Must also mention that we only booked the accommodation the day before arrival and there were no problems in the property being ready.

Ms Matthews

June 2016

2 Beacon High was homely and relaxing. The weather was amazing so we made use of the outside area. The location was just right and we could to visit local areas with ease.

Mr Davies

An excellent cottage which was well furnished and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect holiday. It was in a quiet location in Lindale which is an attractive village with lovely countryside all around. Lots of places to visit nearby and we also had good weather in spite of the forecasts! We would certainly recommend this as an ideal place for a holiday.

Jasper32

February 2016

This lovely cottage is tastefully furnished and decorated - even better than it looks in the photos. It is very well equipped and has good central heating and an open fire if required. There is one shop in the village and the Royal Oak at the top of the village serves very good food. Grange over Sands is only a few minutes away for more shops and Carmel is about 10 minutes away and has several good restaurants. The cottage had good wifi but we could not get any signal for our O2 mobile and this was a common problem in the whole area. There are a few steps between the parking area and the cottage so not suitable for disabled/frail.

Linda G

October 2015

The house was very comfortable and cosy and we loved it. We felt very at home and everything seemed to have been thought of that you could need. The weather was just starting to get a bit colder and the central heating meant the house was lovely and warm. We catered for ourselves and had all the kitchen equipment we needed. We slept well as the house is in a quiet location. My husband was very pleased with the Smart TV and wifi. We were well situated for trips to Lakes Coniston and Windermere and enjoyed a walk round Tarn Hows. Kendal is certainly worth a visit. We also went to Sizergh Castle and Furness Abbey. We were there for a short break but wished we had booked for longer. It is a lovely cottage to stay in and we will go for longer next time.

Ms Ronald

August 2015

A good location, and a really nicely presented and equipped cottage, very comfortable. Would book it again.

Martina H

War drei Wochen im Juli letzten Jahres da... Das Haus war grandios, und es war wirklich ruhig, die Küche perfekt, mit modernen Geräten. Die Dusche unten war super, bloß das Klölie unten war nur für *kleine Geschäfte* tauglich, anderes wurde eben oben getätigt. Ansonsten perfekt für Wanderer, Familien mit Kind (ern), Leuten, die es, wie ich, gern ruhig und beschaulich haben. Die Betten waren echt behaglich. Gut, das Lindale Inn ist nicht so ganz gute Küche, eher schon die Royal Oak, aber man sollte den Bus nach Grange over Sands nehmen, für echt gutes vier Gänge Menue im Netherwood's Hotel zum wirklich adäquaten Preis, nach Kendal fahren, Achtung, um 20 Uhr fährt der letzte gescheite X6 zurück, der nächste erst wieder um halb elf nachts, oder nach High Newton, da gibt es zwei nettw Lokalitäten, zum Teil mit LiveMusik. Nein, war toll...

Mrs Rogers

May 2015

A lovely house with a beautiful garden in a peaceful location. In a good location for the South Lakes. The Smart TV was useful. Would recommend a visit to Cartmel which was a very short drive away.

Mr Berrisford

March 2015

The cottage was perfect for our needs; quiet, off the main road, cosy and adequately equipped for two people. We like staying at cottages where the key is in a key safe, as it allows flexibility of arrival time. The Smart TV was a bonus as we had mixed weather so spent more time indoors than we would normally do, especially at this time of year the Lake District is more inclined to be wet. There is a pub in a short walk, serving excellent food. We could go walking from the cottage, but also had places to go which were only a short car ride away or by train.

Mrs Pearson

February 2015

We arrived on a cold wet evening to a warm, welcoming cottage. The kitchen was very well equipped and the information book was helpful. Our 2 Boys particularly liked their bedroom with lovely views and of course the WiFi for their games. The lounge was lovely and we enjoyed using the open fire in the evenings.

Ms Hansdorfer

November 2014

Cottage very comfortable and really enjoyed 'chilling out' there. Enjoyed visiting Grange-over-Sands and walking along the promenade. Also enjoyed visiting Cartmel and the Lakeland Motor Museum. It was good to have Wifi available.

Mrs Jolley

I loved the views from the kitchen and bedrooms and the quiet and darkness at night - absence of street lights and traffic noise is a treat for a townie like me. The location is good for easy access to lots of places. Overall, a lovely cottage.

Wendy T

October 2014

Warm, welcoming and comfortable well equipped but couldn't find a hairdryer but that was a very small thing. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here the area has some lively walks and is a good starting point for visiting the lakes even by public transport.

TonyMBlairgowrie

Charming holiday cottage on 2 levels, well equipped and very comfortable. Located in Lindale which is a small village with two pubs (only one serving food when we visited) and a PO/General Store. However, Grange-Over-Sands is only 5 mins away and offers a number of good shops, cafes and restaurants. A great base for exploring the Lakes as short trips take you to all of the main locations.

Ms Winz-muller

June 2014

Everything was great and we had a very good time in 2 Beacon High!

Mrs Hawkes

The cottage is well appointed and well situated for exploring South Lakeland, plus, close to main routes for easy access to other destinations. The weather was kind and the fishing and walking were great.

Lauren B

Absolutely loved this cottage and will defiantly be going back! My partner and I got engaged in this cottage - so romantic, Was a very very happy holiday for us. Close to local post office and pub. Lots of takeaways near (they provide you with menus) All attractions near. The view, even from the kitchen, Was so beautiful, we didn't want to leave! The bedroom was clean and comfortable and the kitchen had all you would need and more (dishwasher!) Loved our stay, Thank you so much!! P.S Sorry it has taken so long to write this review!

Mrs Yarwood

January 2014

A beautiful cosy cottage in a great location. A good fire when we got it going. Nicely furnished and very comfortable. Had a great break away, will definitely be coming back again.

Mrs Rutter

Central heating responded quickly ensuring the house was always warm. Easy to keep clean. Good quality fixtures and fittings. Good TV and reception. Excellent WiFi connection - we faced timed Australia without any problem. Comfortable beds and the quiet location and lack of street lighting allowed some much needed sound sleep!

Mrs Luscombe

November 2013

The cottage is cosy and very comfortable. It has been very well equipped, and is nicely furnished.

Ms Irwin

October 2013

We loved the setting of the cottage and the privacy afforded to us was great. It was nice to know that if required we could contact the owners/caretakers at any time. The whole experience at this lovely cottage and village was more than we hoped for, and have spread the word about it to family and friends.

Mr Rosbrook

A very peaceful, homely cottage with light airy rooms. Well located for access to the main tourist attractions of The Lakes, or those quieter spots more off the beaten track. Good pub (Royal Oak) with excellent food at the top of the village. Railway station at Grange is handy for accessing walks at Silverdale and Arnside or beyond.

Guest

I would recommend this cottage, very clean and tidy, everything you could possibly need included, open fire, pretty bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, we loved it.

Mrs Costello

August 2013

Great location and very pleasing property to stay in.

Mr Mumford

The cottage had a homely feel to it, furnishings were as I would have at home.

Mrs Gwynne

Peaceful setting, no disturbances, never stayed in a cottage before and really enjoyed the experience, I would love to stay in one again, did not really want to leave! Everything there you could possibly need. The area is really pretty, there is so much to see and do you will never be bored in the Lake District. Must try the world famous sticky toffee pudding from Cartmel well worth a visit. The nearest town Grange-over-Sands has many interesting shops and cafes and walk a long the promenade.

Mr Holt

Location was great and was only a short drive from Lake Windermere and other places of interest. The cottage was exactly as shown in all the pictures, it was comfortable and clean throughout. The staff at the local pub were friendly and the food was good. A great holiday thank you.

Mrs Donakey

June 2013

The beautiful front garden was an excellent secluded space to enjoy sunny afternoons.

Mrs Shutt

April 2013

A lovely, clean cottage with pleasant views.

March 2013

Lovely cosy cottage. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We stayed with our 3 year old and 6 month old. The bedroom layout was perfect so we could have the baby in another room but still close enough (and there was space for a travel cot in our room if we'd wanted). Had to call the owners to ask a question and they were so friendly and helpful. Good location for exploring the rest of the lake district. The lindale inn does very good food and the owners were friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again another year.

Miss Howse

November 2012

We loved the cottage - it was cosy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for the South Lakes.

Ms Robinson

September 2012

This was a very well cared for, clean, warm and cosy cottage in a quiet village setting.

Mr Beatty

The cottage nicely decorated, especially kitchen and main bathroom and is very clean throughout. We found that it was quite central. Local pub is only a couple of minutes walk as mentioned, as was the village shop (I'm normally sceptical about these types of claims).

First time using Sykes and will certainloy be returning to them for another break. No problems and received regular email updates with driving directions and entrance instructions. The cottage was easily found with either some very simple directions supplied or by Sat Nav. We found this cottage nice and centrally located for our weeks holiday and proved to be a good base for us and what we chose to do. It's only a short drive to the Windermere and Kendal for example. Well worth the drive to Ulverstone via the Kirk Stone Pass to Ullswater Lake and a cruise on there. Even closer is Grange over Sands a nice quaint town, shame there was no beach there though. Cottage has a nice blend of old v new decoration with a very nicely finished kitchen and main bathroom whilst the rest of the cottage had more rustic feel to it. Only grumble about the cottage we had was the bed / matress in the main bedroom. I Personally feel that these could do with being replaced as both my wife and I found this very uncomfortable which stopped us from giving an excellant review for comfort. Worth noting for members of the National Trust that you will get free car parking in a number of car parks which could work out saving a small fortune over the time of a holiday in the Lake District

Miss Binning

July 2012

We enjoyed the cottage garden and the rustic feel to the house.

Mr Smith

A lovely peaceful cottage and an excellent base for touring. We would recommend to anyone. 9 out of 10 on everything, and thanks again Sykes for your excellent service.

Mrs Mcginley

January 2012

We loved the cottage and will be booking to go back in the spring!

Mr Davidson

The cottage was warm and cosy, nice at this time of year. The open fire was nice at night and added to the comfort, although you had to turn off the central heating as it got too warm. The local Pub, Lindale Arms, provided excellent fare and was only a two minute walk from the cottage.

Mrs Haase

August 2011

Great cottage - very clean, nice furniture and lovely garden, thank you!

Mrs Sellers

May 2011

Grant

February 2011

2 Beacon High is in a good location, nice and peaceful. The Lindale Inn has excellent food and friendly locals. Grange-over-Sands is just up the road and the Lakeland Wildlife Park was fabulous as was the Aquarium.

Mrs McMullan

November 2010

Delightful cottage, beautifully presented, perfect venue for a family reunion and trip down memory lane.

Mr Shaw

October 2010

The location of the property was great to get about the South Lake District. The open fire was really good and the property was warm and cosy.

Mr Bilbe

August 2010

Very nice place and will use it again. Went well for the two kids and they were so excited and loved the place.

Mr Willcocks

July 2010

The location of the cottage was perfect for days out by car exploring the Lake District, Windermere was only 25 minutes away. It was also a very quiet spot with no road noise.

The cottage was accessed by a steep stepped garden path, fortunately our party of three septuagenarians was able to use this.The garden and outside siting area were delightful.The parking space was rather cramped when the occupant of the other cottage was in residence.Information about the location and distance from the nearest large stores was not supplied. The use of upstairs space was imaginative. The beds were superb. The shower room off the kitchen was useful but not convenient. There was a motley collection of crockery which served its purpose but was not in the least elegant. I think the property suffers from having non resident owners who live in Harrogate. The local caretaker was not aware that the tap assembly in the bathroom needed attention until I phoned him.A note explaining damage to a garden seat by the previous tenant had been ignored., I drew his attention to this. Perhaps a log book for written suggestions on maintenance needs would be the answer. Lindale is well placed for visiting the South Lakes and we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Mr Day

June 2010

We liked where the cottage is situated, finding it easy to get to the lakes at Bowness and Windermere. Quiet and relaxing.

Mr Barratt

A very restful location with excellent views.

Mrs Rance

May 2010

The location was perfect for exploring the Lakes and the village itself was charming, with two pubs and a shop. We also really enjoyed the log fire, which made the lounge very snug and cosy.

Miss Charity

April 2010

I love everything about it. In fact I would love to buy it if it is ever up for sale.

Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing.

Mr Thornton

Just was perfect in every way. Anyone would be comfortable at this property.

Mr Cartwright

September 2009

The cottage was everything that we had hoped for and more. It was beautifully kept and we didn't want to leave.

Mrs McSloy

The cottage was everything and more I had hoped for. It was a haven of tranquility and beauty. I loved the simplicity and natural character and charm of the cottage. We loved the terrace particularly for gin and tonic evening aperitif to reflect on our day in the peacefulness of the garden.

Mrs Belding

Easy to find and description of property was very accurate. Central location giving easy access to all walks, sights etc. Good views out of the front of the property. Easy access to Grange-on-Sands which had shops to suit your needs.

Miss Kermeen

December 2007

The cottage was lovely, also, the pub down the road, The Lindale Inn was great, big roaring fire, nice food and very friendly service. We also liked the fact that we weren't very far away from anywhere so we travelled round a lot.

Superb location and a beautiful cottage. Garden to sit in. The cottage interior was delightful, very clean and spacious. Equipment provided very good. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends and relatives. It is without doubt the finest cottage we have visited.

Mrs Lewis

April 2007

The dealings with Sykes Cottages and the key holder were very friendly and efficient. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with an excellent local pub.

Mr Gardener

January 2007

The cottage is located in a quiet village but near a main route so getting around was easy. The cottage itself was wonderful - roomy and with all mod cons, yet with a cosiness about it, added to by the log fire which was wonderful on cold evenings.The view from the kitchen across the small valley was lovely. An ideal holiday base for up to four people. I will definitely be booking Beacon High again!

Mrs Woodruff

November 2006

Cottage was self contained and in a quiet location. Enjoyed the games left in the cottage. Useful to read all leaflets and maps left at cottage.

Ms Barton

The cottage was of a particularly high standard and this really made the holiday for us. The views from the garden were lovely and the local pub had delicious food at reasonable prices. Very comfy beds too!

Mr Mrs Cummings

October 2006

The cottage was beautiful and in such a stunning location.It was perfect for visiting the countryside and all the visitor attractions.Our 2 young children loved their bedroom and had many hourss making up adventure stories in there. All in all a wonderful cottage.

The garden was lovely - it was great to sit in the sun listening to the birds. All in all an excellent cottage in a good location.

Mr Taylor

April 2006

We found the cottage to be better than expected. The photos in the brochure do not do it justice. We enjoyed the quiet location of the cottage within the village and the food at the local pub. The cottage provided an ideal base for exploring the southern lakes and we fully intend to use it again.

Mr Childs

December 2005

An ideal location and a superb cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly did not want to leave on Tuesday morning.Easy access to Lake Windemere which was topped off by a steam boat ride to Bowness and had a great walk in the fresh air around Grizdale forest.

Mrs Corrall

A very comfortable and homely cottage. A pleasure to stay there for the week.

Miss Coombes

The welcome card and the flowers on arrival was such a sweet thought, also the post card. I just thouroughly enjoyed the cottage it was exactly what I wanted. I will definitely use Sykes Cottages again and I really felt the price was very reasonable.
