Laithe Cottage Reviews

Nathan
Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting, The owners are very nice and leave you be, the hot tub is a brilliant feature especially to entertain the kids. There is a lovely village close by with lots of shops bars and restaurants . We especially loved the farm cat that visited us daily .
Anna ie
Beautiful cottage everything was perfect. The owners have very good attention to detail, we went at beginning of december was delighted to see christmas decorations. The quality of furnishing and everything you could want in a kitchen. We loved the hot tub and the log fire. The place is beautiful and the owners was so helpful. Would highly recommend this place.
We had the loveliest time at Laithe Cottage. The cottage itself has everything you could need for your holiday and was a great warm base camp after a long day out in the Lake District. To my complete surprise my partner and I got engaged during our trip which makes it even more special for us and we will always remember this holiday. The wine and chocolate on arrival was used straight away to celebrate
Jessica
We had a fantastic stay at Laithe Cottage. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and the hot tub was brilliant. You are very secluded and its nice to be in the middle of no where to escape from day to day life. The views are fantastic! Ulverston is only a short drive away which is ideal to top up on supplies. We would definitely recommend a stay here!
Denise
Beautiful cottage and a stunning setting. Very comfortable and cosy. Really good beds too. Shower needs some work, mould on silicone which is an easy fix and shower drain did overflow onto the bathroom floor. All in all though a lovely property in a great location.
Just as described. A great place to have a relaxing holiday.

Nicola
A really lovely place to stay. Everything was as described and the hot tub and garden just added to the beauty of this place. Really relaxing. Only a 10 minute drive into Ulverston centre, which has everything you need and more. The cottage was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. All round a relaxing and great place.
Laithe cottage is beautiful. I could gladly live here permanently. Its well set out, immaculate and very comfortable. It is in a remote area making it very quiet, just what we love. I would highly recommend a break in Laithe cottage.
Graham
What a wonderful cottage for our 7 day stay. The rooms were clean and tidy and couldn't fault them. The views were stunning. We did have an issue with the hot water however when talking to the people who were there maintains property they came straight away and looked at it. Absolutely recommended this cottage. The hot tub was clean and ready for us on the next day after arriving. The area is beautiful with lots of walks and towns and villages to see. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Laithe cottage ,it is much bigger than it looks on photos. Plenty of space for the kids to run around .The cottage was very clean ,lovely comfortable beds it had everything you would possibly need.plenty of parking with its own drive and the hut tub ,sitting out area is huge . Set in a very quiet area a few miles out of Ulverston it was so peaceful and quiet.but not too far away to go for some lovely pub meals in Ulverston. There was just a couple of things we could not find or work .maybe more instructions would be helpful For the hot tubs hosepipe tap location and how to work it , the cooker hob and hot water timer.but other than that everything else was OK. The location is perfect as a base to visit so many amazing places in the lakes and the seaside We all have a great time and would definitely recommend and stay there again .
Ashley
We stayed for 7 nights at Laithe Cottage for the second time and it was just as good as the first. It's a lovely cottage in a great location and the owners really have thought of everything you could possibly need and it's immaculately clean. Highly recommended and it's definitely somewhere we'll be booking again.
Claire
Fantastic stay, wouldnt hesitate to come back. Great location, lovely cottage, everything we could wish for.
Jeanette
What a beautiful cottage, remote, quiet, tranquil setting. We had some lovely walks, relaxed in the private gardens and chilled in the hot tub. 3 miles from Ulverston, had some lovely meals out and got a taxi back a few times for 10 after walking there. It really is a gem.
A very enjoyable stay and a lovely cottage to base ourselves in. The cottage is very well equipped and the kitchen and garden were larger than expected. The shed was excellent for bike storage and the hot tub was most welcome at the end of the day. Ulverston is a short distance away and very convenient for any supplies. Lakes Coniston and Windermere are nearest and easily accessed. At this time of year end Aprilearly May the area was uncrowded and traffic very light on the roads around the lakes which made life easier. The family enjoyed their stay and get together. A very peaceful setting with lots of birdlife. Highly recommended.
Fabulous cottage. Had everything we needed. Very quiet location.
Rachael

Ashley
My wife, two children and I had a fantastic 7 nights at Laithe Cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for adults and children alike. The bottle of wine, pint of milk and teacoffee was a lovely unexpected surprise on arrival. The cottage is very secluded and has lovely views and we've already looked to rebook. It has a lovely garden area with seating, tables, BBQ and hot tub. I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing cottage. Clean and comfortable. Hot tub was an added bonus which was well maintained. Would definitely recommend.
Laithe cottage is amazing! we really enjoyed our stay it was so peaceful and relaxing. Facilities are fantastic loved the hot tub and log fire everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable. Kitchen has everything you would need for a long stay there's not a thing I could fault. We loved it so much we didn't want to come home.
The cottage was very clean on arrival. The hot tub was amazing and well maintained. The cottage is in a great location for visiting the Lakes too. Even though the cottage is one on a complex and others were occupied it was still very quiet and peaceful. My only issue was that I had been trying to contact the owner for 4 days leaving messages on the mobile number provided by Sykes on the arrival details e mail.This issue was also outlined on an earlier review. I managed to find the correct number myself and eventually spoke to the very pleasant owner.
Nicola
Wonderful property, lovely location. Really nice touch to have some essentials on arrival too.
Absolutely brilliant. Would recommend. Would stay again. Everything about this place was great location, facilities, attentive owner.
Fabulous property! Only there for a long weekend with friends but could have stayed forever. With the exception of a DVDBluRay player, the property was equipped with everything you could possibly want. Would definitely stay again.
Stunning cottage, great facilities, peaceful location. Very clean, well equipped with a relaxing hot tub.
Deborah
We had a lovely stay. A beautiful cottage which had everything we needed, located in very quiet area. The hot tub was a nice extra touch and luckily we had the weather to top off our weekend. Thank you
This was our second visit to Laithe Cottage and once again everything was absolutely perfect! The cottage is furnished to a very high standard, has everything you might need, and is spotlessly clean. It is located a few miles out of Ulverston set in beautiful surroundings. The hot tub is just an added bonus, and the garden is lovely. We were lucky with the weather this time, a full week of sunshine which was just the icing on the cake. We would highly recommend Laithe Cottage.
Shirley

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 2 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.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 14 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.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 16 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.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 18 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 25 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.
