We were greeted warmly and even offered to look after our dog if need be as she is unable to walk too far. By the end of the year we will have been in 19 Sykes cottages, over a period of years. We would say The Ramblers would be in the first 4. Catherine, Steve and Gemma must be doing something right, believe they are nearly fully booked. Would highly recommend this cottage.
