Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Very friendly and helpful owner.
Large peaceful garden either just birds and sheep for company, great place for relaxation
Perfect location central to all of the lakes and great walks
Can't wait to come again

"The property is lovely and suited our needs very well."
We particularly liked the sunroom at the property, where we spent most of our time when indoors, but felt that the furniture could have been more comfortable. It was a pity that, with a dishwasher available, there were not more mugs supplied - only 3 large and 2 small for 4 people - and more teaspoons.

"Another great stay at Low Garth, this time with our new puppy Bonnie."
It is a home from home for us now, and Peter is an excellent host.
Local pub The Herdwick has really good food at reasonable prices so well worth a visit or two. Hoping we have a bit better weather when we are back in September.
Thanks again to Peter

"Low Garth was everything and more that we were expecting."
It was a lovely quiet rural location, the cottage was comfy and welcoming. Having the sun room was a huge bonus and meant we could enjoy views of the garden and scenery even in the worst of the rain. It was a good location to travel from.
Peter,the owner, was very helpful.
The recently re-opened pub in walking distance did very good food.

"My children and I had the most amazing, relaxing time at this beautiful cottage over the Christmas period."
Everything from start to finish was way above my expectations. I met with the owner who was wonderful. It was extremely clean and holds all the facilities that you could need along with the amazing coal fire. The main shopping centre is only a 10 minute drive away for anything you could need. I would definitely recommend Low Garth Cottage for a nice break in the lake district. By far the best and most outstanding. Thank you to the wonderful owners I will definitely be staying again.

"Had a lovely week (21/10-28/10/22)."
A great base for our family of 3 and the dog. Had a chat with the owner on arrival, who had agreed we could charge up our Electric Car and told us where we could park and what times (to avoid blocking anyone!) and he gave us some tips about where to go and eat out if we wanted to. The cottage is lovely and very quiet. Beautiful views in the area. Lots of lovely walks.
Only downside was having to sleep on a small double bed (it’s tiny when you have a Super king size at home LOL!)

Is there any reason now that holidays are Friday to Friday as this does not suit the working man as you have to book 6 days away from work.

"Lovely cottage in an excellent location for us."
Great for access to the Northern Fells. The Herdwick Inn is good and a five minute walk. It would be useful to say where the parking is as you turn the corner to the cottage as it is easy to drive past it. Facilities were very good and there is a brilliant sun room. We never understood the standard central heating timings but the boost works well.

Friendly,helpful and made us really welcome. Unfortunately not for the first time Sykes have given us misrepresentation regards the property(we have this problem with you before).Your description states there is a shop within half a mile of the property,in fact the nearest shop is OVER 2 MILES AWAY!if you can find it.Due to late check in time(3.30pm) having to look for a shop is not the best start.The owners folder clearly informs you the nearest shop is in a different village so why do you advertise to the contrary. Please feel free to call me and discuss this.As i have said this is the second time we have been mislead by your advert.

"Low Garth is an extensive cottage in a quiet setting with plenty of room for a family of four, or visitors with dogs."
Access was via a short track with plenty of room for parking a short distance from the cottage. Although the cottage is adjoining the owners property they had a separate access and garden area so privacy was not a problem. We enjoyed our stay using the cottage as a base to explore the northern area of the Lake District for walks or visits to the many attractions nearby. The cottage is spacious and well fitted out with a delightful sunroom facing south-east at the back. We had two dogs with us and there was plenty of room to sit out on warm afternoons in the sunroom, planning our next walk, and also use it for a storage area for our walking gear and the towels needed for two dogs! Outside there is a large garden with room to exercise the dogs or sit out if the weather is suitable and also a decking area for relaxing in the sun.

Where you’ll be staying
PENRUDDOCK
Keswick 11 miles; Penrith 6 miles.
The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake. Penruddock provides easy access to the spectacular surrounding Cumbrian countryside which can be explored by both car and on foot, and with the southern Lakes, Eden Valley, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.
Note: Owner is happy to accept offers for 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7 or 8 nights booking for the week commencing 20/07/18 to 28/07/18. For prices please call our office.
