Upstairs there are two attractive bedrooms, the master with a double bed. A second bedroom with a single bed and family bathroom make up the first floor.

The rear courtyard garden is enclosed by a white picket fence and has an archway with a grape vine growing over it, enhancing the beauty of this charming cottage.

    Very clean and comfortable - I felt at home right away. The Christmas tree and decorations were lovely and much appreciated.

    However, issues soon became clear. The cottage needs a deep clean, for example the oven is dirty, as are the oven tins. The upstairs windows have green mould and there is part of one of the bedroom ones which has a piece taped on with sticky tape. The shower door has thick black mould on the bottom and the kettle has bad furring and more mould. When we arrived on the friday afternoon the TV didn't work. We phoned the owner who said he knew and was trying to find someone to look at it. It was eventually mended on the sunday afternoon, and worked ok on monday, tuesday and wednesday, but on thursday and friday there was no bbc 1 or bbc 2. When we arrived home there was an email to advise that there was a problem with reception. Needless to say we will not be returning and it was the worst Sykes cottage we have been to.

    Really well appointed, with excellent modern equipment in the kitchen and bathrooms. The location is superb, particularly access to the truly wonderful Curious Cat pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Herne.
