We stayed for a week at Seldom Seen and what a lovely time we had. The cottage is located on the path to Sheffield Pike and opposite The Brown Hills in the Glencoyne Valley. The track to the cottage is a little rough but can easily be navigated in a family car with a little care. The village of Glenridding is a mile away. The property is well equipped to self-cater (sharp knives for a change) and downstairs is open plan. Bedroom nice and snug with a view to Gowbarrow Fell whilst enjoying your morning cuppa. Small garden with a view down to Ullswater. Very quiet for those seeking a little tranquillity and great walking from the front door.

Having to walk to and from cottage as we didn't have a 4x4 which is a must to get there did have an effect on what we took and what time we had to come back as we walked in the pitch black otherwise, I haven't had any resolution from either yourselfs or owners so had no choice to stay as we had no refund, wasn't happy leaving my car at bottom of track every night either, shower was temeperamemtal and those stairs! Or should I say ladder , this property needs re- describing as the pictures and description is very misleading, also the neighbours who obviously own not rent clearly aren't happy having strangers traipsing through regularly, quite unfriendly.

Cottage when hiked all our belongings up the half mile from path as we could not take our car up the 1ft rut filled track was ok , shower extremely temperamental,stairs very very steep more like a ladder really. we were very limited to what we took up and when we had to get back to cottage at night's as it was pitch black. We are still waiting to hear back from Sykes cottages who appeared helpful on the first day and we are home now, disappointed with place but did enjoy the lakes

The track is unsuitable for the average car, it is very rough and long.. My Toyota Yaris sustained damage to the door sill which will cost £280 to repair, this despite driving up it at walking pace. The stairs are steep but the owner has recently fitted a welcome hand rail. The kitchen area is small but has modern appliances. We found that the bunk bed is rather small for adults. The setting of the cottage is spectacular being surrounded by big hills. Apart for the track we enjoyed our stay. G Evans

Lovely place to stay, Off the beaten track.. Cosy and comfortable. TV/DVD player, radio. Poor mobile signal in cottage. Can get 3G/4G on front window ledge. If important to you. Lighting a bit dim if you're a reader, could be improved by some higher wattage LED bulbs! Rough track all way from road to cottage, 4x4 ideal, smaller cars might struggle especially in snowy weather. Cottage cold to start as storage heaters all switched off and took 24hrs plus to warm really. Multi fuel fire, worth mentioning so clients can go prepared with wood or coal, v warming once going. Lovely place to stop, would be lovely in Spring/Summer months as able to sit out and enjoy nature more.
