Only downside was some of the pillows were lumpy, but the beds very comfortable. We found dirty knives in the drawers, which wasn't too much of a problem, but would be good if the drawers were checked. Only other thing was the sykes cottages Web confirmed check in at 4pm, when we got there, the guy checking over the property was actually there, and said he expected us to arrive at 3pm, so some communication is needed between the owner and sykes, as we would have arrived earlier if we could. Overall though, a really lovely property
