The cottage offers a peaceful retreat with a touch of wildlife and is well-equipped for a pleasant stay.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have suggested that the stone floors and bathroom could benefit from a deep clean, indicating some attention to cleanliness is needed. However, there are no major complaints of unclean conditions.
The location is described as idyllic and peaceful, reminiscent of childhood country life, with wildlife sightings adding to the charm. The cottage's setting appears to be a highlight for visitors.
Reviewers consistently mention the comfort of the bed and sofa, and the cosy nature of the bedrooms and bathroom, suggesting a high level of comfort throughout the property.
While the cottage is generally well-equipped, there are mentions of maintenance issues such as a problematic Netflix connection and a plaque coming loose. The hot water temperature is also a concern for safety.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Reminded me of my life as a child. Ground floor a little claustrophobic but comfortable. The stone floor could do with a deep clean. The bedrooms and bathroom were nice and cosy. The only gripe about the bathroom is the floor again could do with a deep clean. The property is well furnished and well equipped. We feel that the water temperature from the âhotâ taps are scalding and could injure a child. The attached barns have some lovely wildlife. An Owl box in one barn and swallows in nests in another. Our dog and I saw the Barn Owl at 6.30am sat on a fence post only yards away in the lovely Orchard. It then flew off to a nearby tree. That Owl, the swallows and a Wren telling off our dog made the short break. Will definitely use Sykes again. Note: Please notify owner re Hot Water and deep cleaning of stone floor and bathroom floor. That said it was a lovely break away
