Buttercup Cottage is a delight, right in the heart of Troutbeck Valley which is outstandingly beautiful. Numerous walks from the doorstep but also within easy reach of Windermere and other popular destinations. So relaxing, a real tonic! Great to be in pubs and cafes that are dog friendly too.

Its a lovely cottage, in a very nice location. Had everything we needed for the week. The day we got there we followed our sat nav which toke us to another cottage a couple of doors down but we did end up finding the correct one.

Great little cottage, very comfortable. Only thing was the oven fan was broken, so made cooking a bit more difficult. Apart from that everything was as described

Lovely little cottage with nearby walks for all levels. Two welcoming pubs within walking distance. Although the kitchen was small, it had everything you needed including a dishwasher. Although it was a shared washing machine with the adjoining cottage, it wasnt a problem. A lovely shower and comfy bed. Just what was needed after a day on the fells. Highly recommended for two people.

Mattress is terrible 100 worn out, worse weve ever slept on, the edges collapse to nothing if you try to sit on it. Huge stain on couch when we arrived we turned the seating cushion over. Had to hunt around for the WiFi code found a scrap of paper poi toning to a binder! Whats that all about? Holes in towels! Urine stain on toilet seat. The oven was filthy tin foil on baking trays in oven as theyre rank! Main rug in teeny weeny lounge dirty, we cleaned it! Masses of kitchen utensils and pans all thrown in draws, sloppy. Pictures of property so deceptive. Bedroom describes as opulent tiny, no space to walk around, cramped. Just the smallest property. Dead bugs, wasps, moths in every room when was this last used? Shower floor blocked up I had to clean out the drain gauze full of hair We bleached the house when we left, its cleaner than when we moved in. Positives Peaceful location.

It would be really helpful if the water temperature in the shower could be sorted. It runs quite cool which is ok during the hot warm days we had during our stay but when you turn the dial even only slightly the water goes extremely hot which is not good That is the only negative and Im sure something that can be altered Fantastic location We slept so well in a lovely comfy bed Well equipped kitchen Neat and petite and perfectly functional And booked again for next year looking forward to it

We had a great stay. Parking outside of the property was handy and the cottage had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was super comfy. Its a lovely place to stay with walks on your door step and pubs a couple of minutes walk away.

All in all the cottage was fine for what we wanted. Just a few minor issues which have been mentioned in other feedbacks but nothing seems to have been addressed. The shower is red hot all the time and you are unable to turn it down, the wheel Barrow is still in the way of the table and the sheet is still on the front of the building. The parking is not for the faint hearted especially when cars park in the entrance and you have to knock on doors to get them to move. Apart from that we had a good stay with two excellent pubs with good food a short stroll away

The parking was very very tight and difficult to enter and exit. When we arrived, the building had a large tarpaulin attached to it which very nearly put us off even entering the building. The shower was unbearably hot and could not be regulated. The instruction manuals bore no resemblance to the equipment available. Tha'ts the negatives. Thankfully the Lakes is a wonderful holiday destination so we enjoyed the holiday, just not the cottage as much as we have other Sykes properties.

Parking horrendous Wheelbarrow at outside table dreadful Builders sheet ... Parking horrendous Wheelbarrow at outside table dreadful Builders sheet flapping on outside wall like a shanty town misleading advertising no view whatsoever aggressive comments from cleaner It was a lot cleaner when we left compared to when we arrived bathroom and bedroom good and there was a tiny view from the landing window

The wine cooler doesnt actually fit bottles so shouldnt be part of the description. The bed is too soft. Bedding though is very good. Apart from that, we really enjoyed the cottage thank you.

Had a lovely stay, great cottage and location, would stay again, thanks

Lovely cosy cottage, well appointed with everythst we needed. Our first stay in Troutbeck and we would definitely stay there again. The location is so quiet and yet easily accessible for amenities. It was nice to leave the car at the cottage and put our boots on and walk. Some of our walking highlights were Wansfell Pike then dropping into Ambleside then walking back via Robins Lane. Also walked up Troutbeck Tongue then back along the brook and back to the cottage via the Mortal Man!

This lovely comfortable cottage had everything we needed. We did lots of walks from the door in spite of the wet weather. It's a good cottage for walkers nice and warm to come back to. The porch was useful for drying wet boots and so on. We would stay here again.

The cottage itself is very cosey and well equipped and ideally situated for all the towns etc. No problems at all. Would recommend. The parking however is very difficult for most drivers.

We had a lovely stay and felt that the property was very well located for exploring the Lake District with our dog. It had all the necessities, and was warm, clean and comfortable, although smaller than the photos imply. The parking was difficult and would have been impossible had the car not had cameras on both the front and back. It had to be reversed down a slope from the road, and turned 45 degrees to then get into the space between two stone walls. The lack of secure outside space was a negative, as we had to walk our dog up the road for bathroom breaks. Sykes customer service was difficult to get hold of, and we were on hold for a long time before someone answered when we got locked out. When we were put in touch with Lake lovers, who manage the property, they were extremely helpful and quick to respond to our call beware of the Yale lock!

The cottage was lovely and well provided with all essential appliances. The fly in the ointment was the parking space, not so much its size as its accessibility down a slope with unforgiving stone dykes on either side and necessitating a careful manouever round into the space. Thank goodness for the reversing camera without which the manouever would have been nigh impossible. We drove into the space on the first night and reversing out was a nightmare never to be attempted again.

It was everything that was described

Very clean cottage which looked freshly decorated. Smart and clean kitchen area which is adequate for self catering. Oven, fridge and dishwasher clean. Ensuite was immaculate and no issues with shower drainage. Nice powerful shower. Bed was so comfortable and we both slept well. Access would be tricky for a large car and reversing into the space would be better. There were a couple of big bushes that you have to squeeze past to get to the door when unloading. They don't seem too big when the car is not there. We brought a dog with us and he enjoyed his stay. In future i would choose a property that has a small bit of garden. Just for him. It was a bit of a chore having to walk him up the road for a toilet visit at 0600. All in all we had a lovely time. Intermittent mobile phone signal for EE users. WiFi available with code and that worked.

It would be nice if the use of the garden was more clearly defined for this cottage as some of the plants were growing across what we thought should have been a pathway but we werent sure. The parking is tricky but doable, cutting back a couple of the larger bushes would make it easier. It would be very tight parking a large 4X4.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area. very few issues and we had a wonderful stay. The drain on the shower needs attention as very slow to drain away and this has been mentioned before in previous reviews. The sofa and armchair are perhaps a little tired and in need of replacement The car parking space is small with narrow access. We reversed in but found the shrubs to the side a hindrance as they blocked visibility and need cutting back badly. The shrubs at the end of the parking space also need maintenance as they made it difficult to unload our vehicle, especially on wet days

The property was ok, Looked better in the photos. The shared utility room was not so good, the guy next door seemd to live in there. My real frustratiuon came when leaving. We were leaving just before the check out time of 10 A.M as were the people in the Cosy Peacock. A mini parked at the top of the drive and just oiff the road. I asked the driver if they would be there long as were about to leave and we would not be able to reverse the car out of the space with the her car parked there, she offered to move it forward a bit. I was trying to guide my wife out up a steep slope in reverese, it is difficult when you have jagged stone walls either side and an expensive car. The car owner suggested that we drive down to the lower car park and turn round, it was at this point I told her that we wouldn't have to if she hadn't parked where she did. We did turn around in the lower car park after a 20 point turn. This confrontation and her reluctance to move her car has meant that we won't return to this cottage again.
