Hunters Chase Reviews

The accommodation is very good for 9 people, good sized diningkitchen area and a large lounge. The kitchen has modern appliances and plenty of storage. Good bedrooms three with ensuite. The house is in a very pleasant village location only 3 miles from Ullswater. Just one thing to be aware of, the oil boiler flue is very close to the back door and the fumes blow into the house if the door is left open.
Lovely accommodation in a beautiful location. We would have no hesitation in returning. We have one small recommendation, the garden waste bin was full of domestic waste on our arrival. Perhaps this green garden bin which is the same colour and next to the normal waste bin, could be moved to another location e.g. garage, to avoid any confusion.
Hunters chase was great very spacious and plenty of crockery and cutlery. Second time staying easy to bus to and from Penrith and nice local pub as well.
Michael
We stayed here two years ago and in some ways the cleaning has improved. however the main table to eat off was sticky to touch not good. No bin was available for rubbish or recycling despite the owners manual saying they were. A number of bulbslights were not working as when we first stayed i would not complain if bulbs blew whilst we were there but surely you can check all bulbs before! Check in at 4pm is late why not text when cleaning is complete so people can go then. A 9am checkout is faintly ridiculous, especially with young children to get ready. The oven only had one shelf! To cook a family meal like this is not easy. We found another shelf on top of the cupboard but it was filthy and we were not prepared to clean it.The house is ideal in terms of size but little things that would take nothing to do would make it perfect. We told you this two years ago but obviously you don't act on comments.
Rachel
This property is beautiful, in an ideal location for visiting North Lakes, and has so much potential to be a perfect holiday cottage. We had a lovely time staying in this huge house, however there were a number of issues regarding cleanliness and general upkeep which can and should be easily rectified. The bathrooms were all pristinely clean, however two of the showerheads need updating. There were no soft bath mats on the floor, but instead wooden slatted mats which seemed unclean and were the cause of many stubbed toes! Two of the extractor fans did not work. We were shocked to see the state of the kitchen and utility room floors when we arrived. They were covered in other people's crumbs and general dirt. We ended up mopping these and the hall floor ourselves. The carpets in the bedrooms were old and noticeably stained, and in great need of replacement. The duvet covers were also noticeably old. Most of the pillow case protectors were disintegrating. One of the beds did not have a mattress protector. The rugs throughout the house were visibly filthy in particular the green rug in the living room. There was a carpet cleaner in the property, and the state of the rugs suggest that this had not been used in a long time. A lot of the door knobs need maintenance as they are difficult to open and close. The key safe is very fiddly to put back together after you have retrieved the keystored it away. The check out time of 9am was a struggle with so many of us trying to get everything sorted and packed in time. We would hope that having between 9am and 4pm would be a long enough turn around time for the necessary cleaning and improvements to be made to this lovely property.
Beautiful big property. Plenty of space for the family. Cupboards were stocked with all the utensils you needed and plenty of games for the evening. One tiny problem was that the dining table was very sticky even after cleaning. Will definitely return.
We had a great stay at Hunters Chase. The house is really spacious and well equipped. Others have commented that the house isnt that clean the only thing we found was that the table was sticky but as this is a consistent comment I dont think its to do with cleanliness and the rest of the house was fine. The 2 things Id comment on was the bin situation as the outside, bins hadnt been collected for some time and it was causing issues for the neighbours. And the parking, it says parking for 4 cars, we only had 1, but it was a big one and although it would probably have been possible to have another car at the back of the house it would have required a lot of manoeuvring. The other 2 parking spaces were in the garage and again with a big car we didnt want to risk trying to get it in there. So parking fine for small cars, not so sure about very large ones. Otherwise would highly recommend the house and would definitely return if staying in the area again. We were doing a Macmillan mighty hike, it was perfectly located for that.
Stayed for a long weekend important to say this is a big comfortable property with plenty of space and generous rooms. Positives include the coal fire, the local pub, location for the north lakes, near to the amenities of Penrith but still being in a countryside setting. Less good were general cleanliness swept the floors on arrival and very sticky dining table, the stay wasn't long enough to want to report it and decor didn't look it had been refreshed for a while. Other reviews mention parking but it was more than enough for five cars. On balance as long as you're not expecting everything to be brand new and to look like a 5 star hotel then I think it is a good place to stay for access to the fells and lakes. We would stay again.
Mhairi
Lovely spacious house, with generous sized rooms. Plenty of sofas and chairs for large groups. A few issues with cleanliness, particularly the floor and a very sticky dining table. Ensuites need a bit of TLC and updating. But beautiful location and views, and comfortable country house feel.
Amanda
Our stay was fantastic. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful property. It was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. A dvd player would've been nice for the evenings to settle the kids before bed but this did not hinder the stay. A gorgeous property in a beautiful area. Peaceful and charming. A shame the nice weather cant be ordered
Fantastic property in a lovely location. Had everything we needed for a great weekend!
Enjoyed our stay the property is very spacious and warm. No real issues but the property does look like it needs a bit of tlc. One issue that needs to be addressed is the front door and step is covered with bird droppings from nest in the eaves, I reported this at the start of the week but it was still the same when we left. The local pub is very friendly and welcoming and serves good food
Thomas
Cottage great. Booking experience with Sykes was poor
We found Hunters Chase very roomy. However we had a problem in our ensuite where the toilet cistern leaked water onto the floor at every flush. The towels in the bathroom were not big enough, there were no shaver sockets. The window cleaner came and did a good job on the outside which highlighted the grubbiness of the inside windows childrens fingermarks and smears. There was no recycling. I found used disposable contact lenses on my bedside cabinet.
Rosemary
This was an excellent holiday cottage, very spacious and well kitted out. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again
Denise
Hunters cottage is a beautiful home, well equipped, literally has everything you could think of. 11 of us stayed in the house and you never felt on top of one another, it's spacious and clean. The kitchen is well equipped for large numbers of guests with multiples of everything. We had 2 children under 2 with us so we took stair gates with us in anticipation of needing them, they were already in the house under the stairs along with 2 highchairs and baby bath. Board games galore, and puzzles for the children. Beautiful gardens to enjoy with stunning views. House location is in easy reach of lots of local attractions, would highly recommend and book again.
Kathleen
Very satisfied with the every aspect of your fabulous property. So well equipped in every way. We will certainly be back.
Charlotte
Great property ideal for big family trips. Beautiful location. Rooms are large and airy. Ensuite facilities good. Kitchen and dining area fully equipped and great for family lunchesdinnersgames night. Local pub is a short walk away and offered good selection of food options as well as a pool table. Only downside is the 4pm check in and 10am check out there is no flexibility on these times not even for a fee, the 10am check out was a pain for us, given we were only there for 2 nights,
Caroline
I had to buy bin liners to collect the previous guests soggy rubbish that had blown all around the garden. The bin was overflowing and they had left a note to say that it was already full when they had arrived and had no bin bags not resolved in between their visit and ours. I contacted Sykes as did Chris the owner and no reply other than a case code. Floors were also not very clean on our arrival. No hairdryer in the whole place. Dreadful location of central heating outlet made the kitchen smell like a fuel station and horrible to walk through.
Michael
Lovely large house that was perfect for our needs. However, on arrival we found ants all over the table and underneath where there were fragments of bread. We had to clean this and put ant powder down. We did mention this to Sykes lady who rang who sort of apologised but that was all. Following this we found of the two kettles one would not open so could not be used, a number of light bulbs were not working, the PS3 was not working and the remote control in the master bedroom had no batteries in it! It did not spoil our holiday but these should be checked prior to arrival. If these things are advertised for the property they should be working. The rubbish wheelie bin outside was full to the brim with waste on arrival and despite following the instructions re collection by the refuse collectors the rubbish was not taken. We also had to sort out our own recycling which is odd in an authority that collects waste for recycling. The owner might have said where the nearest recycling facilities were in the information booklet to save us hunting around.The property also has an electric fence to stop animals but no mention of this in the information on the cottage. This might be a hazard to young children as they may not be aware of what it is. Overall the property has a lot to offer but a bit more attention to detail based on the price charged would not be asking too much.
Had an absolute wonderful stay. Very spacious and comfy.
Hunters Chase is a lovely property very spacious and comfortable with high end appliances and lots of crockeryglassware etc, so perfect for a large group of people. It is perfectly located for easy access to the Lakes and local activities around Penrith. I will definitely recommend this property to friendsfamily for future visits.
Sheila
We were at hunters chase over New year for my husbands 80th birthday with all the family. It was very spacious & supplied everything we needed. My husband said it was one of the best birthdays hes had. Would certainly go back.
Andrew
Very nice. Spacious. Well equipped. Perhaps the chimney needs sweeping, the room got quite smoky when fire lit. Hot water great. Some people thought towel sizecomfort a little sparse. Parking for large cars around back of the house a little tight. Especially when lining up to try and get out. Overall very nice.
Bracha
A beautiful, spacious and perfectly clean cottage. My children and I spent a week at Huntets cottage and had a great time. Lots of space, comfy couches, big garden . The only thing that could add to the experience, would be some garden chairs and recliners. Thanks for an amazing week.
Great house convenient location for Ullswater and for Eastern fells. Very well equipped, and obviously recently refurbished. Kitchen had everything needed and more we had a very enjoyable stay here. Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, though the shower in the twin room en suite has perhaps not yet been updated? Two suggestions for further improvement a barbecue and clearer wifi instructions none of us could connect, even after seeking clarification from the agent.
Lovely cottage, pleasantly surprised with the games! Beautiful area and would definitely stay again. The local pub served us an amazing Sunday dinner too.
Alison
Our break was lovely and the cottage did have all the facilities we required but on entering the cottage we found that we did need to do our own clean first. There was allot of dust and the floors werent too clean either. The windows were really grubby and we just felt like for the amount of money we paid it should of been allot cleaner. And just a note Im not one to ever complain at all but it didnt spoil our stay
Lovely cottage as described. Plenty of room for a large party. Kitchen and dining area well laid out so everyone could be together Very warm inside no need for jumpers. Beds were great and everyone had a good rest Only issue was main family bathroom toilet which when flushed made a terrible noise and vibrated. Reported to agents to let them know. Didn't spoil the holiday. Reading the reviews about cleanliness we found the cottage clean. Definitely we'll worth the price paid. Lovely relaxed stay thank you
Cleanliness was very poor. Compartments in the fridge door were full of crumbs and had to be cleaned by ourselves, so we also took the opportunity to clean the whole fridge, just in case! As the shelving in the kitchen cupboards were dusty, we weren't prepared to use the crockery without a quick wash in the dishwasher. The general state of decoration was poor, especially on the stairwell with several large black marks every where. The edges of the walls were black and lacked paint. Ledges in the toilets and tops of skirting boards were very dusty with some actually covered in fluff. Lots of spiders webs in most corners which indicated very little dusting had taken place. General rubbish and litter found under the coffee tables in the lounge and probably hadn't been moved or checked for months. Surfaces in the kitchen had been wiped but smear marks left so we cleared all benches to give then a good clean before being used. Whilst the beds and bedding were excellent, the general state of the place left a lot to be desired. This wouldn't have been acceptable in normal circumstances let alone in a covid environment. Having said that, whilst our birthday 4 of us social gathering and holiday went very well, we would go back to this large holiday let again, having already been there 6 or 7 times in the past. We all 9 of us feel that the general cleanliness was disgraceful as several previous comments in the visitors book would confirm and again as we have mentioned in previous visits, the property is in serious need of decoration throughout
Nice property and a great location. .but is in need of a little bit of TLC. We had quite a bit of bad weather ThursFri the kitchen window near the couch leaks quite badly, unfortunately for us we had left thingspresents on the window ledge that ended up being spoiled. We didnt have a mop. The main areas that can be improved upon are cleanliness definitely not a Covid deep clean kitchen floor oldstained and general maintenancedecor could be betterrefreshed. 0900 departure for additional cleaning make the group laugh out loud as it was pretty clear it hadnt been done. All in all a good week, but the property could be so much better.
Rachel
Really good place to stay. Enjoyed it very much and perfect if you have young children. The only issue was the place wasnt very clean.
Sylvia
Stressful on day of arrival, item not at cottage as expected, unable to resolve with sykescottage, unable to contact them, resolved myself once the owner contacted me, issued resolved very quickly, and very satisfactory shame I was unable to contact them first, The cottage it self is in a lovely area, good size, very well equipped, but could do with refresh, and deep clean, especially the tiled floors, other than that a lovely cottage.
Elizabeth
This house was perfect for 2 families to spend the weekend together. With 9 people in total we usually find there isnt enough communal spaces but this was brilliant! We could all sit at the dining table together, outside on the 2 picnic benches and in the lounge to play games. Plenty of space and even enough bathrooms! We were really impressed by all the facilities there always something missing that we havent thought of but there was plenty of everything here from tea towels and dishwasher tablets to toilet paper and cutlery. The description for the entrance a sign and a cattle grid is exactly the same as the next door entrance but a friendly neighbour pointed us in the right direction. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to revisit soon
Gareth
We had a wonderful family weekend! There were 9 of us 8 adults and 1 child celebrating a birthday and we all loved the property and location. Hunters Chase was a lot bigger that we expected and met our needs perfectly. All of the rooms were welcoming and comfortable we especially liked the cosy lounge where we enjoyed gathering each night for drinks and games. The grounds were beautiful with stunning views and the local pub served delicious food. We would love to return!
This house is really spacious and suitable for 2 families or large groups. The kitchendiner is a lovely, fresh open space with a large table big enough to seat all guests. The beds are really comfortable and the kitchen is wellequipped, however, it would have been good to have had some tongs, sharper knives and some salt and pepper. The location of the house is really good close to Pooley Bridge, where you can get some basics and the unspoilt Ullswater Lake. The area is quiet and the cottage has beautiful views of the countryside with a large garden for children to play in. There is a good stock of books and board games. The house does need a bit of TLC and would benefit from a deep clean. The toilets dont always flush properly, the fan in one of the bathrooms does not work, not all the hob rings in the kitchen work and many of the lampshades do not fit the lamps. There are two hoovers, but neither can be used one does not have a bag and the other has an illfitting, full bag with no refills available. This meant we had to keep the spacious kitchen floor clean with a handheld dustpan and brush. Also, there was no evidence of recycling binsboxes, which was disappointing. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house.
Debbie
Great location as a base to the lakes. We had 5 children with us age 210 years and there was lots of space for them to play and run around. Its a beautiful big house.
