We have removed Richmond from the Lakelovers portfolio. Since the sell out to Sykes Cottages, trying to make headway and maintain, let alone improve services has become impossible. They are not a good company to deal with. Too big, too impersonal and insufficiently customer focussed.
We are proud to announce our new partnership with Skies Holidays. Matt and Jack from Skies have already encouraged us to spend money upgrading the facilities. Richmond will shortly be available again on the Skies Holidays website. You will soon find us at:

Some of the devastation left in the wake of Storm Arwen. Trees down everywhere. Cumbria in chaos with many still having no water or electricity. Arriving at Richmond at about 2230 we had to clamber over a fallen tree blocking the driveway. Thankfully the folk round these parts are made of strong stuff and have a very “”can do” attitude. The drive was open by mid morning and even the neighbours have vehicular access to their property where the whole driveway was uprooted with a falling tree. Interesting times!

Excellent news. Lakelovers properties are now open again for rental. We have used the down time for some renovations and general maintenance. Richmond is booking well into September.

Back from a great week at Richmond. The weather was stunning, the company convivial and the walking excellent. Went to the Honister Slate Quarry on Sunday. Did the via ferrata. Maybe it quite as terrifying as one we did in Oman last year but fun day out. Only about 45 minutes from Richmond. Another activity close by.
Lots of wildlife around. No owls this time but we saw our first red squirrel and on Tuesday morning watched a stoat running back and forth in the garden. Lots of birds. It really is a magical place.

Scout Scar and the Lyth Valley, accessible on foot from the front door of Richmond. Simply stunning at this time of year.

Spring sunshine at Richmond. The spring flowers are out and the weather is stunning. The house has a great front and a whole lot of drive not to mention three pairs of gate posts. Gorgeous Arts and Crafts period styling only ten minutes from Windermere and ten from junction 36 of the M6.
