    However The shower room floor was filthy. It was so cold. he sofa was sinking and uncomfortable to sit on. We went home 2 days early. We would not recommend the cottage it needs a really deep clean. I dropped my nightdress on the shoer room floor and it got dirty and had to be thrown away. The owners seemed pleasant enough but the cottage is shabby and not being properly cleaned. I worked in a hospitality for many years .

    The hot tub is brilliant and the location enables visitors to see a variety of idyllic local landscapes and places of interest. The nearby pubs and restaurants were excellent. It was the perfect relaxing break we were looking for. Thank you to Sykes and our hosts Doreen and Tony.

    Secluded and the views from both the hot tub and the bedroom are amazing. Bed is super comfy, bathroom is pretty modern and the hot tub was excellent. Only a couple small criticisms I have are that the mugs don’t really fit in the coffee machine, the cappuccino I made from it wasn’t a cappuccino and was more like a watery coffee and I’m not sure if the induction hob actually works, or if it does then it takes an age to come on. But apart from that, everything else was perfect. Highly recommend staying here.
