We are a family of three generations, from 40’s to 90’s years. We had a wonderful weeks stay at Briarcliffe Cottage. Lovely home from home accommodation. Excellent facilities, two en suite bathrooms, plus a large family bathroom. There was also a toilet downstairs which was great for my grandmother saving her up and down stairs. We had only one complaint, the cloakroom under the stairs smelt quite disgusting. The wet mop had been left in there. We put the mop and bucket outside in the back and sprayed the room everyday. Even at the end of the week the musty smell was still obvious. Could I suggest the mop is not left inside the property. We had wonderful weather, so some fans upstairs would have helped because the bedrooms became so hot. These are just a couple of points I would make. We did have a really good stay here, parking for two cars was brilliant. Would definitely stay again.

This cottage, booked via Sykes Cottages, is a wonderful family house, suitable for up to 6 people. It's more like a hotel in that 2 of the 3 bedrooms are ensuite (there's a massive family bathroom and downstairs toilet as well!) and each bedroom has a TV in it (as well as one downstairs in the lounge.) The kitchen, separate dining room and living room are all spacious and well-equipped and there's an outdoor area with BBQ and outdoor seating/ table for dining as well. Easily located in Lindale near Grange-over-Sands, this is a fantastic location for a holiday in the South Lakes area. Highly recommended. There's everything you need, including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, cooker, microwave, coffee machine, and it was beautifully clean and well furnished.

Mr Dyer

The property is in a good location to the southern lakes and easy to reach from the M6 and A590. Its situated in Lindale which is a pleasant village with everything you need near by. The house had been decorated and and furnished to a high standard with an en suite for the 2 main bedrooms which we found very useful. We had everything we needed in the property. If returning to this area would use the property again and will certainly recommend it to others.

Briarcliffe Cottage is located in the village of Lindale just off the A590, It's a great location for visiting the many attractions of the Southern Lake District. 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.
Mr Stockdale
June 2014
The location for the South Lake District was good, with easy access to the A590 which runs along the whole length of the southern part. We particularly liked the fact that the property had a bathroom for each bedroom with two en-suites and a main bathroom for a three bedroomed property.
Mrs Burgess

Briarcliffe is a lovely and very comfortable house with everything needed for a great self catering holiday. The fittings and furnishings are of a high standard. It is very clean and easily managed, and the garden is lovely for sitting in in the evenings, with barbecue, large table etc. It is in a small friendly village with a shop about 100 yards away and two pubs close by, good for eating out.
Mr Goodman
August 2013
A very pleasing location in the village of Lindale. The village shop was convenient and the two pubs easily accessed. The children's playground provided a useful diversion on occasions. The house was delightful.

Mrs Barrows

The location of Lindale made travel in and around the Lakes very easy and easy to find off the M6. The house was excellent with 3 double bedrooms, 2 ensuite and a large bathroom, particularly good if there are 2 couples or more staying.

Mrs Cassidy

Absolutely fabulous property - everyone had their own en suite, and they even thought of umbrella's, walking sticks, pegs, hoover and every mod con you can think of in the kitchen. The beds were also great and the whole property just felt luxurious.
Mrs Davies

We enjoyed staying in this delightful property in a part of the UK which everyone should visit.
Mrs Allan

This house was a great base for touring the south lakes. The kids loved the open plan layout and chased each other up and down. Having three showers, we never had to queue, and getting out in the morning was a piece of cake.

Good south lakes location. Pleasant house with lovely bedrooms and en-suites, ideal for our family with Granny & Gramps staying too.
Mr Walters
September 2010
Briarcliffe cottage is absolutely beautiful. It is big and spacious with a lovely garden, ideal for sitting out at night with the chiminea blazing. 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. All in all I would thoroughly recommend the cottage if you want somewhere to come back to after a day out exploring the Lake District and to relax with a glass of wine or three.
Mrs Turner
July 2010
This has to be the best holiday cottage we have stayed in over the years we have been visiting this area. A lovely well equipped cottage in an excellent location for exploring both the Lakes and coastline. Excellent value for money too.
Miss Artingstall

This is a superb property. It would be especially suitable for three couples who want some degree of privacy. It is maintained to a very high standard and has plenty of space. Lindale makes a very convenient base to explore the South Cumbria area.
Mrs Allan

This was a fantastic property, decorated and furnished to a very high standard but was also very comfortable and homely.
Guest
February 2010
We thought the house was very spacious and the facilities were of a very high standard. All the rooms were of a high standard. The kitchen was wel equipped and there were plenty of crockery etc. The house was very warm and although we were looking forward to lighting the open fire we did not need to. If we wanted to stay in this area again we would certain hope that this property was available.

Excellent service from both Sykes and the owner. Cottage decorated and furnished to high standard, beautiful throughout. Ideal location for walking and handy for touring the Lake District. Couple of nice eating pubs and a shop on the doorstep.
Chris Bostock

The property is furnished to a high standard, in fact we could not find fault in anything, everything was there that we needed. In a quiet village close to an excellent public house serving good food and nicely located for visiting the Lake District.
Guest

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.

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.

December 2009
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.

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
Mr Squirrell
November 2009
Great cottage. Very large, and rooms were all clean and decor to a very high standard. Great location, in quiet village, but only 5 minutes drive from major routes. Nice enclosed garden with BBQ, and off road parking. A wonderful base for the Windermere area.

This cottage was excellent value for money. We enjoyed the fact there were so many showers/bath/toilets as there were six adults in the family. It was well situated for visiting the South Lakes and Windermere/Bowness attractions. Also handy for Cartmel races.
Mr Lewis
March 2009
We could not fault the cottage in any way at all. I would certainly like to congratulate the owners on the quality of the workmanship, finished to a very high standard. Given the opportunity we would certainly use it again.
Mrs Waring
January 2009
The cottage was so so lovely - excellent in fact! We're going to struggle when we book again as it will be hard to match the standards of this property. Will definitely consider visiting this property again. Ideal location - a lovely quiet little village - not far from Windermere.

Ms Coates
July 2007
We loved the cottage, the standard of decor and refurbishment was 1st class. The beds were very comfortable , which is not always the case when on holiday .The cottage was well positioned in the village , close to a shop and the pubs, as well as having great walks on the doorstep. The area is glorious , so the combination of all these things made for a wonderful break.
Mrs Gleave
May 2007
The property was stunning - a real show home. Done to a fantastic standard and great value for money. It felt like a boutique hotel rather than a holiday cottage. Fantastic!
Mrs Germaine-cox
April 2007
It was a wonderful cottage. I could not fault it. Considering it was a last minute booking I could not believe the standard of the cottage. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful too. Plenty of space for the children. It is worth mentioning that there is a children's recreation ground within 7 minutes walk , there are also TVs in each bedroom, which was a nice surprise, especially for the children. The Local Pub within 2 mins walk served lovely food and was very welcoming. It is a good base to tour the Lake District and we will definitely return to the cottage.
