Reviews
Me, my partner and our two dogs had a wonderful stay at Sunny Hill cottage in great Strickland in the Lake District area in Oct 2020 for a week. The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpfull. The Cottage is very cosy and warm with a lovely Log Burner and central Heating. Pub just down the road, lovely countryside, and only a few mins down the road your in the mountain's and lakes. Can't wait to return in 2021. Thanks again to Neil and Michelle. Lovely hosts.
This cottage is just perfect and so refreshing to have pet friendly accommodation that is spotlessly clean. The owners have thought of everything here. It’s a truly fabulously equipped cottage and finished to a high standard. The owners, Michelle and Neil, are friendly and approachable and add a real welcoming feel to the place. We have every intention of staying there again and can genuinely recommend Sunny Hill.
We just stayed at the fantastic Sunnyhill cottage and had the most wonderful stay. We were instantly impressed by the pituresque village it’s in and even more impressed by the cottage itself. As soon as we walked in, we loved it, it’s exactly what the pictures show and even nicer in person. The beautiful and cosy living room opens up onto a patio with a large and fantastically well kept garden, perfect to sit in when the sun in shining and we even got a couple of visits from some bunnies too! The owners of the cottage are extremely welcoming and helpful and gave us such a warm welcome for my mam’s 60th Birthday. There are a few local pubs and restaurants nearby to try out too, the Strickland Arms is within walking distance and the does fab food. We also tried out the Punch Bowl which is about a 10 minute drive away which also had tasty food on offer. In summary, we could not have wished to stay anywhere else, we had a perfect time here and will definitely be returning in the future!
The words amazing, fantastic and perfect don't do this beautiful little cottage justice. I knew from the moment we arrived that this was a special place. It's situated in the quietest of loations and has amazing views. And as soon as we opened the front door, we knew we'd found a real gem. You walk into a lovely "cottagy" open plan kitchen, diner and living room which has patio doors that open up into the large garden area. We sat out in the garden and all we could hear were the birds and sheep. Bliss!! The 2 bedrooms are a good size with ample wardrobe room for all your bits and pieces. And there is a lovely en-suite with double shower and main bathroom with a bath. But you know what made this visit super special? The owners, Neil and Michelle. They thought of everything and more. I'd let them know it was my husband's big birthday, and they'd bought him a cake, a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge and sprinkled confetti on the dining room table where they placed the balloons I'd had delivered to their house. How lovely is that? They came to check we were ok once we had settled in and were on hand to give suggestions on where to go and what to do. And we met their lovely dogs who were just beautiful. This was our first time staying in a cottage, we normally stay in hotels or B&Bs. I have to say, I'm a convert. We have been truly spoilt on our first cottage stay. We will definitely be back!
Sunny hill cottage is a beautiful,clean cottage set in lovely private gardens . Michelle and Neil were great hosts, extremely welcoming and very helpful.I would definitely recommend it .We had a perfect weekend
