About Laithe Cottage

Laithe Cottage is a stunning stone-built holiday home in the peaceful hamlet of Pennington, South Lakeland. This three-bedroom beauty sits in the Cumbrian countryside just 3.5 miles from Ulverston. Perfect for families or small groups looking for a Lake District escape without the tourist crowds. The property combines traditional character with modern comforts - exactly what you want after a day exploring the fells.

Set in a tranquil spot with gorgeous countryside views, this cottage gives you the best of both worlds. You're close enough to the Lake District's main attractions but far enough away to enjoy proper peace and quiet. The private garden with patio is ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks - and let's be honest, after hiking those Lakeland hills, nothing beats sinking into your own private hot tub with a favourite drink.

Inside, you'll find a ground-floor double bedroom and bathroom featuring a luxurious roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. Upstairs houses another double and a single bedroom. The heart of the home is the kitchen/diner with its woodburning stove - perfect for cosy nights in. There's also a first-floor lounge for relaxing, complete with smart TV and WiFi for when the weather turns typically Cumbrian.

The location is spot-on for exploring. Visit South Lakes Safari Zoo (15 minutes drive), wander through historic Ulverston with its Laurel and Hardy Museum (10 minutes), explore Coniston Water (25 minutes), or tackle the Old Man of Coniston fell (30 minutes). The cottage makes an excellent base for Lake District adventures without the tourist price tag.

Laithe Cottage ticks all the boxes for a Lake District getaway. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, hot tub for stargazing and woodburner for toasting your... marshmallows. What more could you want?

Laithe Cottage Reviews

Claire
Absolutely stunning cottage third time visiting. Ste and carol are so helpful and friendly. Kids favourite place to visit with lovely surroundings
Christopher
A really lovely place quiet, not to far from lakes and other interesting places to visit. Kitchen well equipped for cooking. Your own parking space were you can shut the gate and the best part coming back to the hot tub.
Rachel
Throughly enjoyed our week at Laithe Cottage. Situated in a tranquil area. Ulverston is a lovely little town with everything you need, situated close enough to the Lakes to have wonderful days out. The cottage us clean and has everything you need. Loved the log burner in the kitchen, however it would have been nice to have 2 comfy chairs next to it, but not a problem. The hot tub was a fantastic addition and well used by all of us. Good shower and bath the only downside was because we were 5 adults 2 with long hair we did keep running out of hot water. On a positive note, we would love to stop here again.
William
We've stayed in several Sykes Cottages, but this one is by far our favorite. Nestled in a stunning and ideal location, the cottage offers easy access to all the Lake District's hotspots while providing a secluded retreat where you can truly unwind. The cottage itself is exceptionally comfortable and wellequipped. The owners live nearby and were incredibly welcoming, with their friendly cats and dogs often greeting us upon our return from daily adventures. Its one of the rare places weve visited where even the kids didnt want to leave!
On arrival the place was immaculate. The facilities on site and the I auction booklet was amazing! The kitchen was amazing aswell! The people the place and everything was just brilliant.
Very good stay , really enjoyed it especially the hot tub , everything needed is in cottage
Nathan

Anna ie
Beautiful cottage everything was perfect. The owners have very good attention to detail, we went at beginning of december was delighted to see christmas decorations. The quality of furnishing and everything you could want in a kitchen. We loved the hot tub and the log fire. The place is beautiful and the owners was so helpful. Would highly recommend this place.
We had the loveliest time at Laithe Cottage. The cottage itself has everything you could need for your holiday and was a great warm base camp after a long day out in the Lake District. To my complete surprise my partner and I got engaged during our trip which makes it even more special for us and we will always remember this holiday. The wine and chocolate on arrival was used straight away to celebrate
Jessica
We had a fantastic stay at Laithe Cottage. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and the hot tub was brilliant. You are very secluded and its nice to be in the middle of no where to escape from day to day life. The views are fantastic! Ulverston is only a short drive away which is ideal to top up on supplies. We would definitely recommend a stay here!
Denise
Beautiful cottage and a stunning setting. Very comfortable and cosy. Really good beds too. Shower needs some work, mould on silicone which is an easy fix and shower drain did overflow onto the bathroom floor. All in all though a lovely property in a great location.
Just as described. A great place to have a relaxing holiday.

A really lovely place to stay. Everything was as described and the hot tub and garden just added to the beauty of this place. Really relaxing. Only a 10 minute drive into Ulverston centre, which has everything you need and more. The cottage was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. All round a relaxing and great place.
Laithe cottage is beautiful. I could gladly live here permanently. Its well set out, immaculate and very comfortable. It is in a remote area making it very quiet, just what we love. I would highly recommend a break in Laithe cottage.
Graham
What a wonderful cottage for our 7 day stay. The rooms were clean and tidy and couldn't fault them. The views were stunning. We did have an issue with the hot water however when talking to the people who were there maintains property they came straight away and looked at it. Absolutely recommended this cottage. The hot tub was clean and ready for us on the next day after arriving. The area is beautiful with lots of walks and towns and villages to see. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Laithe cottage ,it is much bigger than it looks on photos. Plenty of space for the kids to run around .The cottage was very clean ,lovely comfortable beds it had everything you would possibly need.plenty of parking with its own drive and the hut tub ,sitting out area is huge . Set in a very quiet area a few miles out of Ulverston it was so peaceful and quiet.but not too far away to go for some lovely pub meals in Ulverston. There was just a couple of things we could not find or work .maybe more instructions would be helpful For the hot tubs hosepipe tap location and how to work it , the cooker hob and hot water timer.but other than that everything else was OK. The location is perfect as a base to visit so many amazing places in the lakes and the seaside We all have a great time and would definitely recommend and stay there again .
Ashley
We stayed for 7 nights at Laithe Cottage for the second time and it was just as good as the first. It's a lovely cottage in a great location and the owners really have thought of everything you could possibly need and it's immaculately clean. Highly recommended and it's definitely somewhere we'll be booking again.
Claire
Fantastic stay, wouldnt hesitate to come back. Great location, lovely cottage, everything we could wish for.
Jeanette
What a beautiful cottage, remote, quiet, tranquil setting. We had some lovely walks, relaxed in the private gardens and chilled in the hot tub. 3 miles from Ulverston, had some lovely meals out and got a taxi back a few times for 10 after walking there. It really is a gem.
A very enjoyable stay and a lovely cottage to base ourselves in. The cottage is very well equipped and the kitchen and garden were larger than expected. The shed was excellent for bike storage and the hot tub was most welcome at the end of the day. Ulverston is a short distance away and very convenient for any supplies. Lakes Coniston and Windermere are nearest and easily accessed. At this time of year end Aprilearly May the area was uncrowded and traffic very light on the roads around the lakes which made life easier. The family enjoyed their stay and get together. A very peaceful setting with lots of birdlife. Highly recommended.
Fabulous cottage. Had everything we needed. Very quiet location.
Rachael

My wife, two children and I had a fantastic 7 nights at Laithe Cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for adults and children alike. The bottle of wine, pint of milk and teacoffee was a lovely unexpected surprise on arrival. The cottage is very secluded and has lovely views and we've already looked to rebook. It has a lovely garden area with seating, tables, BBQ and hot tub. I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing cottage. Clean and comfortable. Hot tub was an added bonus which was well maintained. Would definitely recommend.
Laithe cottage is amazing! we really enjoyed our stay it was so peaceful and relaxing. Facilities are fantastic loved the hot tub and log fire everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable. Kitchen has everything you would need for a long stay there's not a thing I could fault. We loved it so much we didn't want to come home.
The cottage was very clean on arrival. The hot tub was amazing and well maintained. The cottage is in a great location for visiting the Lakes too. Even though the cottage is one on a complex and others were occupied it was still very quiet and peaceful. My only issue was that I had been trying to contact the owner for 4 days leaving messages on the mobile number provided by Sykes on the arrival details e mail.This issue was also outlined on an earlier review. I managed to find the correct number myself and eventually spoke to the very pleasant owner.
Nicola
Wonderful property, lovely location. Really nice touch to have some essentials on arrival too.
Absolutely brilliant. Would recommend. Would stay again. Everything about this place was great location, facilities, attentive owner.
Fabulous property! Only there for a long weekend with friends but could have stayed forever. With the exception of a DVDBluRay player, the property was equipped with everything you could possibly want. Would definitely stay again.
Stunning cottage, great facilities, peaceful location. Very clean, well equipped with a relaxing hot tub.
