Very comfortable beds, lovely warm and cosy cottageâ¦hot tub a massive hit with my sons and the dogs loved having a safe garden to run around in. Christine and her husband were welcoming hosts and having Dottie the pig at the bottom of the garden was just lovely

Negatives The cottage needs a deep clean and painting. The chrome towel rail, in the main bathroom, is mostly rusty. Signs of mould behind the main door, bedroom window sills and bathroom. The kitchen appliances needed a clean. Dusty on the wall by the side of the cooker hood. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in this rates poorly.

Total lack of warmth and general upkeep to the cottage. No WiFi, the sofa is dirty, the floor is in need of revarnishing, the shower trickles water on all settings. The patio doors were filthy from the previous occupant, no tea towel, a broken dustpan and brush. We were given 1black bin bag for the whole of our seven day duration. No welcome gift as stated in the advertisement. The guttering outside is broken so when ot rained it just poured down the outside of the building. The garden is unkept, the grass in need of mowing and the fencing broken. No hot tub for two days due to what I was told a system error. The advertisement states âcharmingâ, but there is definitely none of that. I doubt very much we will be using Sykes again and no I would not recommend the company.
