However, be aware that the street parking is only for an hour and so a paid carpark is needed, not free parking as advertised. I messaged Sykes Cottages about this issue twice and received no response so communication was unfortunately a problem. The cottage was also in the process of being cleaned when we arrived, despite this being after the check-in time."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Beech Hill Hotel. On arrival we received a complimentary upgrade. Our room was beautiful and the super king bed was unbelievably comfortable, we had the best nights sleep. The complimentary spa was a nice addition to our stay. The hotel is in a lovely location, far enough from the busy town so not too crowded or noisy but also not too far from anything. Perfect for a quiet getaway in the Lake District."
