Excellent cottage, very well situated but bus stops and pub nearby , also farm shop etc close bye . Hosts most helpful .
Cottage had everything one needs for a comfortable and relaxing break , Thanks to attentive owners
We have just returned from a lovely stay at Topiary cottage and were blessed with really good weather. The cottage is in a great location, with the local buses on the doorstep, making it easy to get round the lakes. The owners were very helpful and made us very welcome. We recommend this cottage and would not hesitate to book again. Anne and Jim
This is our 4th year and we will return. That says it all!!
We had a lovely stay at Topiary Cottage. Its perfect for two people and is very well equipped. We had a warm welcome from Gerry when we arrived and were very impressed with the accommodation. Its a great location, lovely little abode and wed definitely stay again. The pub 5 minutes walk away was excellent too and the breakfast at More? The bakery in Stavely is fantastic and they sell the best sourdough Ive ever tasted.
Lovely little place, well situated for exploring the lakes, minutes from Windermere, with Bowness, Ambleside, grassmere etc just a short drive away.
A great one bedroomed cottage in the Lake District near to Windermerr
The property is first class with everything you need plus beautiful views from the patio, we got a lovely welcome pack from the exceptionally helpful owners. We were very lucky with unusually good weather for mid November, there is a great pub within walking distance and bus stops at the end of the drive going either way. We had a fabulous week at Topiary cottage and will return. Erna & David

Steven
Very nice place, clean and comfortable and well appointed, nice views from the Cottage, streams, horses and hills, the bus stop is a couple of minutes walk, get a weekly ticket save all that parking and driving. Watermill across the road, good food and their own brewery.
Adrian
Lovely comfortable and warm accommodation and we didnt have the best weather! !! Friendly hosts and everything we could need for a super week in the Lake District.
Great cottage great location
Lorraine
A lovely, comfortable place to stay with everything needed for self catering in the kitchen and other facilities i. E. Washerdryer, freezer 2x TV's etc. One suggestion which applies to several Sykes holiday homes that we have stayed in over recent years although there is always plenty of provision should it be cold, i.e. extra blankets, heaters there seems to be no provision for when it is very hot. Perhaps a pedestal fan or the like might be a useful addition to the properties with the increasing heat nowadays.
Ideal location,for anywhere in the lake district by car,or local buses,also handy for walkers if able.
An excellent place to holiday in the lower lakes. The owners are very helpful. The village pub serves excellent food and beers.

If you want to stay at a place that's perfect it has to be Topiary Cottage
Lovely cottage very comfortable and has everything you need on your holiday. Lovely patio with views over the fields of horses. Excellent location served by good bus service if you did not want to drive. Would definitely return.
Christian
Very well presented. Well appointed, pleasant ambiance and cosy. Exceptionally comfortable bed which is a big plus. Within walking distance of a good pub and a short drive or bus journey to Windermere and beyond. Recommended.
Comfy warm cottage. Excellent location including good for buses. Lovely hosts with excellent communication, keeping in touch without being pushy and keeping us informed. We go away a lot and like to try new places but this is the first time we'd consider going back.

A lovely ,comfortable cottage with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday . The owners are very friendly and helpful .
Our 6th stay in the cottage and already booked for next year. The location is great and so relaxing sat in the garden. Excellent hosts and easy access to all the lakes attractions and walks by the bus that stops just outside so no need to drive.
Louise
Beautiful cottage in the perfect spot. There was a Pub that served lovely home cooked food, a bus stop and shop just a 5 minute walk from the property and easy access to the town and surrounding areas, we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking at booking a break in the Lake District.
We started the week with a warm and friendly welcome and was surprised how spacious the cottage was. Having unpacked and settled in we began to see how comfortable it felt. The cottage every well equipped and needed none of our own things. The bus routes run half hourly so the car wasn't needed the whole week and there are plenty of good walks in the local and wider area. All in all a wonderful stay and we highly recommend it.
Patricia
This is our 3rd time staying in Topiary cottage and we have already booked again for next year. It is the ideal place for comfort and has lovely views all around the cottage. The cottage has everything you need and very well equipped. Couldn't ask for anything more. The owners Jo & Gerry are so lovely and so friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay. Pat & Anne
A great location.
A beautiful and very comfortable cottage with lovely views. Great location. Only downside the noise from the busy road, just a short distance away. Would definitely return.
Natalie
What a lovely little cottage! It is spacious, comfortable, has everything you would need and is in a great location. The hosts were so friendly and helpful highly recommend!
Pamala
We love the Lake District but unfortunately we found the cottage quite cold apart from that there was a lot of nice features like the Christmas tree inside and outside was lovely. The views from the cottage was lovely and would be nice if it was summertime so you could sit outside and enjoy them. Perhaps next time we will go in the summer.
Fantastic property and location friendly owners. We will definitely be back!
An excellent cottage in an ideal location with welcoming owners on your doorstep to assist with any further queries.
A cosy perfect cottage with all we could want.

Main areas were clean but when you moved furniture in my case moved the bedside cabinet to remove the radio from the cabinet as we wouldn't be needing it it had clearly not been subject to a clean for a very long time. The same with the curtain poles as we closed the curtains we were met with a dust cloud. The shower cubicle needed a thorough clean not inside the cubicle on the outside, bottom railing. Having said all of that we didn't let this spoil our holiday the cottage itself was very cosy and well equipped. The owners were very pleasant when we spoke to them and when they asked the first morning if we were ok by email and I replied it was a little cold, they turned the heating up a bit and we felt much warmer. Lovely garden. Parking was an issue initially but once we had a parking space we left the car there for the week and travelled by bus, so we didn't lose our spot.
This was our 5th stay and we have already booked for next year. The cottage is perfect to just relax in the garden by the river if you get the nice weather its in a great location and if you dont want to drive you can leave the car at the cottage and get a weekly bus ticket which allows you to hop on and off all buses and takes you all over the lakes. Great pub across the road seving nice drinks and food and a good farm shop in walking distance that do a nice breakfast. Gerry and JoAnne are great hosts and available to offer any advice if needed.

Spacious and airy and a very very comfortable bed, large tv for films in the evenings, fully equipped kitchen and a nice garden with babbling brook to enjoy your breakfast All in all a wonderful week Thank you Gerry and JoAnn Pat n Jim
