Thoughtful touches like welcome cards and biscuits are noted, although such gestures are not consistent.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few guests mentioned specific cleanliness issues that suggest room for improvement.
The location is highly commended for its proximity to the town centre, shops, and attractions, with the added bonus of off-street parking. The scenic views and ease of access are frequently highlighted.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and well-equipped. Nonetheless, several reviews point out issues with bed comfort and suggest that the beds could be more comfortable.
The cottage is well-furnished and equipped for most needs, but guests have raised concerns about specific facilities, such as the shower temperature, appliance maintenance, and the need for clearer instructions.
While some guests mention thoughtful gestures like welcome cards and biscuits, these are not consistently reported across reviews, and there is not enough information to assess the overall thoughtfulness reliably.

Unfortunately we asked Sykes if we could be relocated & nothing came of itâ¦It may be dog friendly but NOT dog secureâ¦couldnât sit out & just leave the dog outside. Cleaning issues re: dirty rim toilet, oven door, cobwebs, bathroom taps need attention, bedding thin (no extra blankets) No welcome packâ¦Just not enjoyable & expected more!!

Bunk beds make second room very limited for getting in and out of bed with mobility issues also limits space for getting dressed. Two single beds would be much better. Second room more suitable for children, not adults.
