We had a lovely stay at Waingate cottage.. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing home from home stay. We got a lovely welcome from Julie on the day of our arrival which made us feel very welcome and she assured us if we had any problems or questions we only needed to ask. It was the perfect cottage for our dog Alfie too, with a great sized fully enclosed garden for home to play in. He certainly felt right at home too. The local area was lovely, although the roads at times can be a bit hair raising. Most places we found were extremely dog friendly, so always found somewhere to eat out with no trouble bringing Alfie along. All in all a great holiday and great base to explore the surrounding area. Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.

A very welcoming and well equipped cottage.. A very comfortable place to spend quality time with friends. The wood burner was most appreciated after a blustery chilly local beach walk. A tranquil escape.

This is a fantastic house in a lovely location.. The house is very well equipped and very clean. There was a lovely welcome package when we arrived and the owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating without being intrusive. The house is set in a beautiful and peaceful location but within easy reach of lots of places. We thoroughly recommend staying here.

Mr Barlow

Waingate Cottage is wonderful, the quietness of the area, the scenery, the size and comfort of the cottage, very well equipped and above all this, the effort and welcome of the owner Julie.. The cottage was beautifully prepared and decorated for Christmas, and added up to be being one of the Best Christmas, let alone holidays, we have ever had. Thanks again Julie for everything.

The accommodation was stunning - it far exceeded our expectations and the pictures of the property do not do it justice.. The family who own the property were extremely accommodating and friendly, ready to help if we needed. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed for the stay. The spacious garden was ideal for the children to run around in and lovely for BBQs in the evenings. We will definitely be going back!

Mrs Fairbairn

My whole family spent a week at Waingate Cottage, in total 6 adults 2 children, baby and Ted the schmoodle.. The property was lovely, very sympathetically renovated with furniture to fit the style of the property, the garden was very well laid out and nicely kept with plenty of flowers and apple trees, a lovely cottage garden which was a total credit to Julie and her Family. I would very much recommend this property we had a lovely week all together with plenty of room for all the family, I would not hesitate to rent this property again it was lovely and quiet and no one bothered us. The area around the cottage was very interesting, 5 minute walk to the marshland and a lot of really nice walks. There is plenty to do in the area and plenty of facilities. A must is to visit the artisan bakery for one of the very special vanilla slices big enough to feed 2 people also had a lovely meal in the pheasant inn, 5 minutes away in the car. A big thank you to Julie for making us so welcome hope to come back next year.

This cottage is fabulous.. First time user of Sykes and WOW - we were not let down, in fact, the cottage was actually better than the photos. Fabulously quiet, that was the best thing about it and the beds were so comfy - my husband and I felt so relaxed. The village is great and has the amenities you want. The weather was the best we have had for years and that made the experience even better. We spent a lot of time in the garden relaxing - again so quiet. We live in Glasgow and to get away from the hustle and bustle of City life was amazing.

Mr Hanson

Waingate cottage is a wonderful location to explore the South Lakes, either by car or by foot - which was great news to the designated drivers as there a number of great pubs nearby.. It is secluded without being isolated. The cottage itself comfortably accommodated 8 adults. It is immaculately kept and has great facilities, all the home comforts!

Mr Lane

A lovely cottage with well maintained garden surrounded by feilds with all the facilities necessary for a comfortable holiday.. The welcome from Julie was warm and friendly, answering any queries we had. A most pleasant stay.

Mr Stokes

The photographs actually didn’t do the cottage justice, although I hasten to add good enough, as we booked it!

Miss Kendall

The pictures really did not do this cottage justice! It was beautiful and very cosy. The owner was super welcoming and helpful! Only a mile walk to the nearest pub as well. Would definitely come back again!

The property is excellently situated for walking while reasonably isolated, which was ideal.. A very short walk to the coast and a rural setting. Friendly and helpful host on arrival. We would definitely return.

Ms Marsh

I booked Waingate so my family and I could have some quality time away to celebrate my 50th Birthday.. It did not disappoint! We loved everything about the cottage, it has been sympathetically renovated, we liked the mix of modern and traditional furnishings.The cottage is spacious, and the sofas and beds were really comfortable. For 8 people the two bathrooms are totally a must! The garden is lovely and it was great to be there during lambing season, we liked that the cottage is on a working farm, in fact we were all saying we would love a go on the farmers quad bike, it looks like great fun buzzing up and down the hill. We loved the fact there were no street lights outside the cottage, it is a real escape venue. The wifi is intermittent, but we knew this when we booked and was not a problem for us. The Hope and Anchor pub had been recently refurbished too, we spent my birthday in the beer garden, can highly recommend the food as well as the hospitality and service of the team. Oh one last thing, If you sneak into Flookburgh for a cheeky ice cream and want to keep it a secret from the family left behind in the cottage, don't mention it to the farmer, he totally dobbed us in to my brother! Hahahaha! And yes, it is really lovely to know they are there in case of any problems, we would all love to go back again! Thanks Julie for a great holiday. xx

Mrs Banks

Waingate Cottage is a hidden gem.. It's so quiet and peaceful and within very easy reach of the superb walks and sights the Lake District has to offer. The cottage is spacious, light and well fitted, with very comfortable beds. It's really warm and cosy and also has a log burning stove for extra comfort. The enclosed garden is beautiful and perfect for dogs and children. The hosts were friendly, helpful and welcoming but completely unobtrusive. The staff at Sykes are great and were very helpful in providing details about the cottage, placing a reservation and finally completing our booking. Really straightforward- would definitely recommend!

Mr Hickson

This cottage was booked as a treat for myself and family from my son over the mother’s day weekend.. We were met by Julie the owner who was genuinely warm and friendly. She let us in to give us a quick guide re the aga/ heating etc. which was very helpful as it wasn’t the warmest of weather! As well as a lovely welcome pack of goodies she had also filled a jug with fresh pink roses for mother’s day !! The cottage had four bedrooms that were done in a traditional style with original period furniture and fireplaces. The bed linen was all crisp and white as were the plentiful towels provided. There were two showers in the bathrooms that ran independently of each other ie: one from the boiler and the other electric so they could be used at the same time to minimise waiting for the eight of us. The log burner in the lounge was all set for its first fire with plenty of logs and kindling provided. This was great to come home too after our daily dog walk. The cottage itself was set in a beautiful garden with mature trees and an old well ( no longer in use ) . It’s was all enclosed and felt very safe. It’s location was perfect for doorstep country, village and coastal walks so no need for the car which is always a bonus!! In all I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and hope that I can return in the not so distant future. Thanks again Julie for providing such a beautiful home from home cottage!

Mrs Austin

Perfect perfect cottage - this place is a tardis - the photos don’t do it justice, beautifully clean, four double bedrooms, amazing shower, crisp white bed linen and everything you need in the kitchen to cook for eight adults.. The owner is very accommodating and always available to help with anything. We will be staying here again and again it’s just so lovely.

Amazing holiday, welcomed by the owner who told us where she would be if we had any problems, wine fresh bread and nibbles waiting for us on arrival.. Lovely relaxing place, kitchen well equipped, information about surrounding area and things to do were readily available. No complaints.

Mr Thompson

A wonderful setting for the cottage and beautifully cared for, from the welcome pack to the log burner to the pin-sharp tv.. The whole family really enjoyed our winter break, including Gwen our well-behaved puppy!
