The master bedroom is stunning, and clearly a lot of time and money have been spent on the upstairs accommodation. The cottage was let down a little bit by the kitchen, which could do with updating and having a deep clean, and there was a very strong smell of damp downstairs. This is also the first time we've ever stayed in a Sykes property where there hasn't been any welcome pack at all, not even a half-pint of milk which would have been very welcome for making a cup of tea after a long journey. Overall we did enjoy our stay though, and had a good week.

Parking not a issue always found space literally around the corner . Slow cooker very useful after day out . We were part of a larger family group and had booked York Cottage next door as well - work well for us and much more affordable than one larger house . Just be mindful of steps into kitchen if you have young children . Would recommend and hope to return .
