What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is for 8, however the smaller 1st floor bedroom does not have any clothes hanging space due to the double bed - the wardrobe is outside the room down 4 steps on the mid-landing?

  As with all properties the accommodation is non-smoking. It should be noted that the rear outside area is covered over and shared with the adjoining property. During our stay the area was used 'by others' for outside smoking? - No smoking sign would clarify the legal status. The split kitchen/dining area is not an easy to use layout. The table although a good size, has restrictive chair seating access. The front hallway has a mobile entrance mat that rides up and is a trip hazard. It should be noted that the instructions in accommodation book say the bed linen is to be turned back and not stripped as per the email read on our return. That all done with, the TV was great, the water pressure was good, plenty of cutlery, cups, plates etc.. The location was good for the town shops, park and Latrigg Fell not far away.

  It is a shame you have to give a score to the place out of 5.

  As it wasn't 5 out of 5. It was close with a few exceptions. Firstly, parking - The location presents it's own challenges. We managed it, no problem. We did see a lot of people other people, including residents, having problems. Secondly, as soon as you enter the property, you get this slightly damp smell, which you encounter when you have had floodwater damage. It is not a new smell, but an old smell, which is hard to eradicate. It is clear the owners have addressed this issue with flood defences. Thirdly and lastly, we had a few fixtures and fittings that were in need of tightening. No big issue, as I had a few tools and we sorted them. Other than that the place was perfect. Very comfy beds. Perfect after a long day's walk.

  I would just like to say a very big Thankyou to Justin the owner of Holmerigg and Sykes holidays.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Holmerigg, it was exactly as described on Sykes website, but so much more, on arrival, we were happy to see how clean it was, and it was also very comfortable, with the luxury of two bathrooms. Car Parking was also no problem. having the village shop right next door meant we didn’t have to travel far to get essentials. Also the property owner Justin kept in touch with me which was lovely. Braithwaite is a lovely quiet village and a perfect place to stay when touring round the Lake District. Yes I would recommend a stay at Holmerigg, I would love to stay there again.

  I loved this quirky cottage.

  On arrival he description, though, was not clear as to which door was back and which front. We spent a long time trying to find which gatepost the description was referring to. Finally, on phoning the owner things were resolved. The final step of the staircase came as a bit of a shock as it was a big step down. I suffer with polyneuropathy and found this challenging perhaps there could be a warning regarding this. However the beds and sofas were very comfortable: the kitchen was extremely well equipped and provisions for dogs were the best. Hope these comments are helpful.
