Another wonderful stay at Kirrin cottage.. We’ll be booking again for next year.

We've just spent 5 nights at Kirrin Cottage and it was a lovely stay. Lovely modern cottage with all the essentials. The bed was really comfy, plenty of storage, a lovely clean bathroom and a really cosy living room downstairs with log burner. Hawkeshead is a 10 min walk and has a co-op, 4 pubs to choose from and plenty of cafes! This is a great central point for lots of walks and exploring the lake district. The only issue we had was drying walking boots! Clothes etc dried fine on the airer or tumble dryer, but obviously walking boots can't go in there and the fire and under floor heating weren't enough to dry our soaked boots! We couldn't adjust the radiators and they only came on when the temp dropped below 20 degrees which didn't happen often so it wasn't enough to dry them. That's my only downside though, the rest was perfect :) would 100% recommend for an escape to the Lake District.

Quaint cottage tastefully decorated.. Only a 5 minute stroll into the lovely village of Hawkshead and only a short drive to Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere. Would highly recommend a stay there

Village setting was amazing and everything else was a good driving distance away.. Kids loved their ‘holiday cottage’!

Kirrin Cottage was beautiful, well equipped and was an excellent base for our holiday around the lakes.. Beds were comfy, everything was clean and well thought out.

Lovely spot.. Lots of good walks material and guides. Only complaint is that wi fi was patchy and at times inaccessible. Nonetheless, super little cottage.

A nice lake district cottage.. The cottage was in a very good location for the lakes and a good base from which to explore. Found having the underfloor heating kept the cottage warm, especially on the cold days. Really liked the cosy reading area and the lovely country views from the cottage. There was lots of information in the cottage for days out and local walks which was helpful. Any issues were delt with quickly, such as replacing lightbulbs in the cottage that we noticed had gone on arrival.

Nice clean quiet cottage.. Would have benefited from an information pack re petrol stations, doctors, walks ,car parking . Whilst available on internet it shows a little more thought for customer

We would have stayed all summer if we could.. The only improvement I would suggest is to have some basics in the cupboard - salt, pepper, bin liners etc. But it gave us an excuse to wander into the village in any case. Lovely cottage just as advertised.

The cottage was lovely and in a very good position.. The village is acceptional with lots of places to eat and drink, nice shops to browse. Lots of walking and cycling with good quality paths. A little away from the very busy areas which suited us, however not far should you want to visit Windermere and Ambleside. We went during cold weather and had a slight issue with the heating, however there is an open fire to keep you cosy.

We spent a very enjoyable 3 nights at Kirrin Cottage.. The accommodation was perfect, everything you could want plus the benefit of a real fire. Hawkshead itself is a lovely village, with just the right amount of pubs, shops and places to eat. It also a great location for exploring the Lake District.

Lovely cosy, but spacious cottage with open fire and great views across fields of lambs! Perfect location for a short stroll into Hawkshead, and as a base for further exploring. Would highly recommend!

Kirrin Cottage is such a charming cottage on the edge of Hawkshead, just a few minutes walk into the village.. The cottage is extremely clean and has everything you need. We loved the log fire and underfloor heating, makes it such a cosy house. We are really looking forward to returning to Kirrin Cottage one day.

Lovely and warm cottage which was a tad bigger than expected.. Wonderful location, can thoroughly recommend walks to Tarn Hows, Wray Castle and Grizedale Forest plus the village of Hawkshead is small (which we loved) but has some nice shops and places to eat and drink plus a little co-op that stays open till late.

On arrival, this cottage was presented as described on the website.. It was delightfully and stylishly refurbished which was what had attracted me to it, as well as only being a 5 minute walk to the village, perfect. Plenty of useful facilities, plus they had provided essentials such as dish washer tabs and tea towels. However, the entrance to the kitchen from the back door had a very distinctive smell of damp which was also apparent in the kitchen and on the stairs. I am aware it is an old cottage, but it was quite off putting as the kitchen and toilet roll had that limp feel, plus our bath towels and tea towels were not drying prior to the next use. We also used the washer which had a dryer facility (no line or pegs to hang out) which proved a waste of time. The drying cycle did not work well, so I hung the clothes on the airer I’d found, but the clothes did not fully dry as the air was damp. Very disappointing as we visited in August and felt the use of the log fire was unnecessary. The cottage was very clean but they had missed some attention to detail, such as a couple of light bulbs missing, a broken roman blind in the kitchen and hadn’t provided any matches to light the fire if we’d wanted to. You cannot reach the toilet quietly as you have to negotiate the incredibly squeaky floorboards, some might say this adds to the charm, we just found them annoying. The location of the cottage was idyllic looking over the fields, it was really pretty. Had it have not been for the damp, I would definitely stay there again, but sadly for us, it outweighed the presentation of the place.

I was devastated to discover that we had lost our original booking due to non payment of the balance 6 weeks before our holiday.. Unbeknown to me my husband had a new debit card so Sykes could not collect the balance. I was very angry as they didnt contact me to let me know just cancelled the booking after a week. They had both of my phone numbers, email and home address. Had I not checked my Sykes app I would not have known. I've had no apology from Sykes to date and this would definitely make me think about using them again.

We had a great weekend with the kids at Kirrin Cottage, they loved staying in a traditional cottage with a coal fire in the lounge and log burner in the kitchen. It was nice to stay in a traditional cottage with the benefit of underfloor heating and Wi-Fi. The underfloor heating came in handy for drying our clothes after our winter walks and they were dry in no time.The radiators in the bedrooms upstairs could be adjusted to our preferred setting which was great. In some cottages we have rented the bedroom radIators could not be adjusted which is not ideal. Kirrin Cottage is approx a 5 minute walk into Hawkshead and adjacent to the road leading up to Grizedale. The cottage was very clean and the rooms have been furnished and decorated well. It was great to have a private car parking space and not have to worry about parking. The bike store next to the private drive was ideal and we could off load the bikes straight into it when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay and we would love to return.

Kirrin cottage is in a brilliant location.. You can go on several picturesque walks straight from the front door and lots more within a short drive. The cottage itself Has plenty to offer. Good WiFi throughout and the underfloor heating was brilliant through the cold weather we had when there. Would have happily stayed another week!

The location is amazing with lots of walks on your doorstep. Hawkshead Village is only a five minute walk away which has four pubs to choose from which all do good food with a friendly atmosphere.There is a park 300 yards away which has tennis courts, basketball, football and play areas for the children.The Cottage is beautifully furnished and well equipped with underfloor heating on the ground floor. We really enjoyed relaxing in the reading room taking in the views and relaxing after our walks.BT Sports and a DVD player is available in the lounge. There are two good sized double bedrooms with lovely views across the fells. It was great to have a private car parking space and secure lockable shed to store the bikes. We really enjoyed our stay at Kirrin Cottage and will definitely return again.
