Perfect accommodation for a large group. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware and other practical bits and bobs. Showers were hot and powerful and beds comfy and clean. The hot tub was serviced twice in the week and was well used by us. My big birthday celebration was a hit!

This is the second time we've used the property for a Christmas visit, we love the location, size of property and hottub. This time we had to set up the WiFi to the tv and get it all working as it had all been unplugged at the bag. For 7 over 50 women this was a challenge. Apart from that it was another enjoyable stay. We would definitely be back.
Very welcoming property, served our needs perfectly and was to a very good standard
We booked this accommodation for a friends special birthday, a couple of days before received an email that the pool room was out of use, and a 70 refund would be issued, I am still waiting for this. All the pans in the cupboard felt greasy and needed washing before use. Both showers dont work properly the water gathers in the trays and doesnt drain away whilst you shower so you have to be really quick. The accommodation itself is roomy and in need of some updating.
Whilst a lovely large house it needs a very good clean. Cobwebs on the inside of windows and lots or areas grubby. No window keys which meant you couldnt open the ones in the conservatory as they were locked. There needs to be more information in the house about the house, the only instructions were on the hot tub. WiFi only really worked well in the kitchen area and not at all upstairs.
We had a lovely stay at Reston mill was a lovely spacious home hot tub was great my son spent every night in there, lovely quiet area, house was clean and tidy apart from sofa in conservatory had stains on it and there was a funny smell but beds and everything else was spotless had all facilities you need when your away. Its about a 10 min walk from a little spar shop and chemist really enjoyed our stay would def book again in future
Lovely place, good spot and plenty of facilities, comfortable beds. Photos made it look better than it was some of furniture old and a bit grubby. It was clean enough but needed a more thorough clean, felt like it has had a few cat licks rather than thorough clean.
Gillian
The second time we've been to this property. Plenty of room for all of us aged 88 to 8 plus 2 dogs! Hot tub and games room were a hit. Beds very comfortable . Everything is there what you would need. We had a great time and would return.
Teresa
We enjoyed our stay , just felt a dryer or more drying facilities could be helpful for so many people. A larger recycling bin is needed as ths one there was quickly filled over ths week. Washer and fridge freezer could be a bit larger to cope with the amount of people. Overall great house, our family had a lovely time !
Hilary
A good facility for 10 people and very well equipped re kitchen utensils. Simple instructions for the oven,hob etc.would be helpful. We were very cold and no instructions to operate the heating or towel rail. Ringing both numbers for Sykes repeatedly met with no answer so we had to get help elsewhere. A much bigger fridge is essential for 10 people. The soft furnishings although clean were very stained and worn. Generally an update is needed to a potentially excellent house.The hot tub was very popular and was regularly maintained. Overall a pleasant stay with family members.
Hannah
Lovely stay at this cottage at the weekend! In a perfect location! We will definitely be back! Very clean and spacious and the beds were super comfy! The eagle and child pub just a 15minute walk from the cottage and its such a nice setting on the water and the food was amazing! This stay was extremely good value for what we paid I highly recommend it.
Stephen
Lovely property. Ideal for a party of 10.
Lovely cottage, well equipped. Hot tub was lovely. Can not fault it. Would definatly go back again.
We had a famous time and would definitely come back
We really loved our stay at Reston Mill, the property was big and the perfect place for our celebrations. Luckily in a storm there was so much to do at the property including the games and pool room. I think we would all love to return in summer to make use of the garden and hot tub. We loved the little welcome packs that provided shampoo and conditioner, only tiny problem we had was there was not enough toilet roll provided for the 2 nights. It would have been nice to have such a small thing supplied for the duration of the trip as 4 rolls simply wasnt enough.
Booked for a 40th birthday, cottage was spacious and comfortable. Ideally located and had everything we needed. Bed rooms were clean and everyone had plenty of room . Social areas were well maintained and again didnt feel cramped. Hot tub could easily fit 56 people and local supermarkets could deliver to property meaning were could shop before we arrived. Would definitely recommend booking.
Great location, be sure to eat at Eagle and Child. The house worked well in terms of seating, cooking and eating. The beds were very comfortable. There was some mould on an outer wall in one of the bedrooms that needs attention. The carpets were grubby and the whole place could do with a deep clean. I had rung Sykes to enquire about the bedding one of our party has a feathers allergy but there was no response via the chat and it was impossible to get anyone on the phone. All bedding was synthetic by the way but these things should be declared.
When we arrived the hot tub was cold. 20 degrees . it took till saturday to warm up adequately. The bin outside was already overflowing so when we left we had no choice but to put bags by the bin. The CDRadio was broken. The house itself was lovely and clean barring a few spider webs could have done with an idiots guide book to the house . wifi code, heating, where to catch buses etc.
This location accomodation is perfect. My whole family had a fabulous break here and are looking to return next year. Only 1 negative, there was an accumulation of bin bags in and around the bin likely due to collection day on Tuesdays but, should be cleared prior to arrivals.
Joanne
The photographs do no not do this property justice and our expectations were exceeded. The property was very clean. Information about where to find things like the WiFi password would be good, fortunately one of the younger guests was able to locate it, I did ask but was not informed until our return. There was some miscommunication regarding the baby cot, I had asked if there was a mattress with the travel cot, and was told yes. We only found the board like base that you find with a travel cot, unfortunately our Granddaughter could not settle on this, and they all returned home a day earlier due to lack of sleep. I would recommend the purchase of a cot mattress to put in the bottom of the travel cot
Gordon
We had a Great time at Reston Mill. As there was 10 Adults and 2 Dogs we thought the property would be a little small, but we should not have been worried as there was enough room, and no feeling of crowding was felt. The Hot tub was great, we think it does need a better light outside. As for the general feed back,the facilities at the property are exelent, with new appliences evident, the fridge could do with a replacement allthough the back of the fridge was freezing the items inside did not seem so cold. In places the property is in need of an updating ie, some of the bedrooms to bring it up to the next star rating. Also there is an information folder in the kitchen but no basic info like, Wi Fi password,what to do to operate the hot tub, what is arround the property like shops, pubs ect. Also we did struggle to find Reston Mill as there are many Reston named properties around and when asked in the village were sent back and forth. hen all that was needed was a note to clients if entering Danes road from the top of the village its the first driveway on the right and if entering from the bottom of the village its the last drive on the left. But we would still give the property 100 and look forward to maybe re booking. Many thanks

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
