Billy Boo Reviews

Gillian
A fabulous property in a fabulous location everything was perfect. We will definitely look at returning I the future. Sorry I couldn't leave a comment in the book i couldn't find it
Catherine
Amazing find. Beautiful accommodation, beautiful site and friendly owners. Cannot fault our stay, the whole family loved it and our teenage children have asked to return. High praise indeed. Thank you for a fantastic break!
Gillian
Fabulous stay at Billy Boo. Loved the property which was ideal for us since our plan had been to spend majority of our time there since we were using it as a family catchup. The videos showing how appliances work were a brilliant idea. We very much enjoyed the decking area, the hot tub and also a competitive game of bowls our own on the lawn. Lots of attention to detail which were very appreciated inc the regular and decaf coffee pods. The few items in the fridge were also a lovely touch. Thank you so much.
We all really enjoyed our accommodation, plenty of room for us all to move about especially with children.
Faultless, absolutely stunning place, very relaxing and definitely going again in a different season
Richard
We had a fantastic holiday in a stunning location. The accommodation was exceptional with nothing more that can be improved on. Look forward to coming back for another stay. Many Thanks.
BILLY BOO was exceptional . the pictures do not do justice when we got there we were just blown away and speechless at the beauty of this place! Its a little hidden gem absolutely loved it. The attention to detail with the lodges is faultless was not disappointed at all! definitely worth coming here absolutely thrilled to have discovered this hidden gem!
Gorgeous place, great location, close to lots of activities. The cottage was fabulous, very comfortable and very well maintained. Theres a lovely walk you can do just off the grounds and the views are beautiful. Just a couple of things would make the stay even better, maybe a welcome basket of a few little bits ie some fresh bread, snacks etc would be nice considering how much it costs to stay there. Also only one frying pan, we did a lot of cooking so another one would have been handy. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.
Wow, what a wonderful family holiday at Billy Boo. ...Everything was fantastic inside and out. The lodge was contemporary, of a high standard and immaculate throughout. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. Its position is away from the hustle and bustle, allowing a peaceful retreat surrounded by countryside and nature when required. However, its also close enough to be a short drive to Windermere and easy access to the rest of the Lake District. Too much to summarise here...but its all good,an easy decision that we plan to return soon. Tell everyone...no keep it a secret!!
Elizabeth
Billy Boo is a truly fabulous holiday home. We spent the most perfect Christmas there. The owners could not have done it enough for us, their communication pre arrival was superb and so helpful. On arrival all the extras made such a difference and showed how much they cared about us having a good time. The experience of Sykes cottages was also excellent. Information was always provided in advance and was clear and concise. We are already browsing for next year!
Louise
Billy Boo is a fantastic holiday cottage. Spotless, great, clean hot tub and facilities. It is set on a lovely estate with great walks on your doorstop. The lake was lovely. Hosts were very friendly but not intrusive. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends.
Wonderful place, would highly recommend for a relaxing break or if you want to explore the Lake District. 5 Stars plus from the Hession family

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 9 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 9 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 12 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 14 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 21 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 28 Miles
Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
