Riggbank Reviews

Graham

Overall the property was great however the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, there was discarded food stuffed down the side of the settees and under them it looked like no attempt had been made to clean under the furniture there were items of dirty clothing discarded under a bed. Perhaps it would be nice to offer guests the opportunity to prebook a welcome pack, milk etc. The supply of cleaning materials i.e. tea towels, washing up liquid, bin liners and spray cleaners etc was sadly lacking as was the amount of toilet paper which amounted to around 1 roll per person for a stay of almost 1 week. Should it not be noted in the description that these items might be required.

Excellent holiday home. Well presented and comfortable house with lots of space and an added bonus of a bathroom for each bedroom. The living space was a great size. The hot tub was brilliant and easy to use in their quiet yard. Plenty of towels provided! The location of the house was fantastic, very close to the main town via an easy walk. We had no problem with parking on the street in front. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be looking to come here again in the future.

We had a lovely stay at Riggbank. Access was straight forward and first impressions were great. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was lovely to have a bathroom per bedroom, although the main bathroom could do with a shower screen or shower. As per other reviews, the basement floor had a stale smell, but Im sure if we had used it that would have disappeared in time. Its a difficult space to ventilate and didnt detract from our stay at all. The hot tub was a welcome addition, very private but with debris behind it, no doubt left over from previous guests, which was a shame. On street parking could be an issue but we were lucky enough to get spaces outside the property. It really did feel like a home from home and we all said wed definitely return in the future. The position is perfect for walking and visiting the area.

Was a lovely and big holiday cottage, had everything we needed and was perfect for our little holiday! The neighbour next door had a few complaints but im sure you are used to hearing this as a few comments in your book said the same, didn't ruin our holiday tho, lovely decorated and perfect location, thanks for everything Amy

Heating was not working all weekend, had to go home a day early.

Flys all around the property Hot tub outside not welcoming, all moss on the hot tub cover, also had to ring maintenance as the hot tub wasnt working properly No remote for down stairs TV The cooker hob turned on but didnt work

A lovely property and very warm and clean. One of the few that we have booked that has lived up to our expectations. Well done.

A lovely location ideal for exploring the area and an easy walk into Bowness and Lake Windermere. The house was stunning and very well equipped with a perfect setup for two families on holiday together.

Thank you the house was perfect, very clean and plenty of space. We had a great time and would recommend staying here.

The cottage was superb and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100 book again. My only criticism is that the bathroom on the 2nd floor, adjacent to the twin room, would benefit from a shower screen and a fixing to position the shower higher. Apart from that we can't wait to return again in the future.

Lyndsay

Really nice property, well furnished throughout. Kitchen has everything you can need. I did take tea towels and washing up things but they provided a little welcome pack with everything we needed. The basement was perfect for my 14 year old. He loved having his own space. Hot tub was a great bonus. There was however no slippers and only 2 towels. This wasn't an issue for us though as we took our own. A back door mat would be useful for after using the hot tub. We had no issue with the neighbours like some of the reviews had mentioned. The lady to the left was lovely, took the time to talk and tell us about the local walks. I would highly recommend this property, we would definitely book again.

This property is just beautiful, set walking distance from Bowness it offered great accessibility to the village but we found it difficult to leave as it was so comfortable and the hottub was a great way to unwind after a long day hiking. Highly recommend this property it offers a real home from home feel with everything available to make the stay luxurious.

Loved our stay! Everything we needed perfect home from home experience . Lovely location! Only issue we had was with a fault to the electrics on the lower floor! It wasnt the best as meant we had to juggle the sleeping arrangements out as unable to use the shower on that floor. Owners did contact us on our arrival date though and did make us aware that they couldnt get anyone out until after new year. So it was just one of those things.. We just made the best of it and enjoyed our stay! Thank you xx

Louise

Absolutley Perfect Everything we wanted and more than what we needed. The house was immaculate Perfect location Cant reccommend enough We will certainly be back again and again, and again!

Damian

Beautiful place, will definitely be booking again

Stephanie

Really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect, the house was clean and very comfortable and everybody had a great time. The only suggestion I would make is perhaps a house manual would be a great addition and we couldnt locate any cloths or wipes to wipe the table down after eating but that really is minor we would come back again in a heartbeat! Loved it, thanks so much.

Super disappointed with the state of the property we booked which was meant to be 5 star for the reasons we have already discussed in detail with you. The service we have had has been poor and we are left feeling that Sykes really doesnt care at all about its customers. We will definitely never book with Sykes again and will tell as many people as possible about the horrific experience we have had with Sykes.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
