Lack of serving/mixing bowls

Charming and characterful. Furnishings comfortable, clean, modern. Beds and bedding super comfy and good quality. Loved the artwork on the walls. Owner great to communicate with and very accommodating with a change of guests during our stay.

Parking was sometimes problem. Lots of stairs up to the apartment.

Great location. Stylish and we'll equipped apartment.

Couldn't get TV/Humax to work - no instructions. Not really a complaint, but, the stairs/headroom/sloping floors took a little getting used to (for this 6 footer !). In the end it became part of the charm ! One needs to pay attention to parking - 3 hours out front (and overnight) but one needs to park beyond the viaduct (5 minutes walk) to get free parking other than that.

Excellent location, next door to very friendly pub with good beer. Walking distance from supermarket, town centre, castle and river walks. Cosy. Comfortable. Well equipped. Clean. Good views of river.

The apartment is amazing, very clean, modern, convenient with family. There is everything in the apartment, we definitely felt like at home. The location was also amazing! Do recommend! Will definitely come back again!

Nothing much only the stairs up into the flat

Location

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing - we loved it and in particular the location which turned out to be 5 minutes walk from where our family lived a century ago! We remembered being at the same family house in the 1950's and 1960's including the surrounding area which was very pretty.

We thought everything was fabulous. The furnishings were of excellent quality and everything was like brand new. We loved everything about the apartment including the way it sloped slightly due to the age of it! Old on the outside and brand new on the inside done in a very tasteful way. The furnishings etc had clearly been carefully thought out and you could tell that the owner really cares about his property and goes over and above for his guests which was much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the apartment to anyone wishing to explore Lancaster and the surrounding area as it is perfectly located for such a visit.

Nothing all great

I like the location and the comfort of the place

Stayed in March 2023

Only small drawback was duvet was too heavy, but thus could just be personal preference. I took tge duvet out of its cover and just used the cover.

Excellent location in a quirky property. Facilities were like being in a home from home and had everything you needed. Bathroom was exceptional.

Stayed in February 2023

Only personal preference, but would have preferred a walk-in shower so that we could take our parents.

Thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable with a great location on the quayside.

Stayed in February 2023

A couple of beams were a little low (especially one on the stairs) and caught us a couple of times. Might have annoyed us if we were taller. The sitting room was a little dark even with all the lights on.

Really lovely apartment. Very comfortable beds, good kitchen and bathroom space, and spotless throughout. Very easy walking distance from the town centre and castle. Excellent place to stay when coming up to visit our daughter at the university.

Stayed in February 2023

The location was ideal for going out and about on our cycles. We loved the quirkiness of the accommodation. It was clean and had everything we needed for a weeks stay.

Lancaster one way system makes getting in and out of the town a pain, it’s nothing about the property, that was fine ;)

beautifully decorated, warm and well located, quiet despite being next to a pub we heard nothing, character historic building

Stayed in January 2023

We had tall people in our party so had to be careful with the roof beams

Good location, comfy and well decorated and stocked

Stayed in December 2022

Maybe having 2 set of keys.

Everything was really good, the apartment is modern, it has everything you’ll need for your stay, well equipped and in a good location. Check in and check out was really convenient. Would recommend 100%.

The age means it is on a slope and the ceilings are low in places - but that isn’t really negative, just something to be mindful of.

A truly lovely apartment full of history in a fabulous location. it is a quirky place that is so comfortable and was perfect for our weekend away as a family. it is impeccably clean and so well equipped for us to cook for ourselves. Communication with the owner was also excellent.

Stayed in November 2022

The floors are sloping and polished so it's advisable not to walk around in socks!

Apart from my forgetting to phone for the keycode 48 hours before, everything was excellent. The owner rang and Sykes Cottages contacted the cleaner who brought round his keys within 30 mins. Excellent facilities.

Very little really.

lovely spot with great history in a great location. was on upper floors so may not suit some people and banged my head a few times as I am tall but goes with the age of the building.

Stayed in August 2022

Nothing, really.

Made my own breakfeast. Landlord provided a nice little start of the holliday. Both fridge and other stuff to enjoy first night. Just brilliant..

Stayed in July 2022

Having to leave. This really was a great time away!

We stayed here a couple of years before it was renovated by the current owner. The transformation is amazing. Still uneven floors due to age of the property (all part of the charm) but very sympathetically set up for short breaks. Having the history explained in the information folder was fascinating. The owner clearly loves his apartment, building and the city.

The flat was really clean and cosy. All of the furnishings and utensils were good quality too. Overall, a very pleasant stay and in a good location!

Stayed in January 2022

The flat is exactly how it is presented here on Booking. The view from the windows are great, mainly during sunny days.

Stayed in January 2022

I only haven't liked to leave the apartment. We would like to stay there for more and more days. It's an amazing accommodation indeed.

The flat is amazing. The time there was perfect. The flat is very cozy, well decorated and very comfortable. The bedrooms are so confortable and very fragrant (we slept a lot there). The kitchen has everything we needed. The view from the windows is spectacular. James was very kind and receptive. The decoration with natural flowers was another lovely care!

Good location well presented and well equipped

Insulation not great, hard to keep warm in the cold weather. Nearest free parking 5 mins walk up the road. Parking spaces outside 3 hrs max, car park £9.50 per day.

Nice property, well equipped and comfortable, in a good location.
