Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed. Some guests found the cottage very clean, while others reported issues with unemptied bins and stained furnishings. The score reflects a slightly above average rating due to positive remarks balancing out the negative ones.
The location is generally praised for its rural charm and proximity to amenities, offering a peaceful retreat with convenient access to local attractions. The long private drive and views are appreciated, despite some finding it hard to locate.
Comfort receives a good score as guests enjoyed the spaciousness and quietness, which contributed to a relaxing stay. However, some discomfort was noted due to maintenance issues like broken heating and furniture.
Facilities are seen as adequate with a games room and large garden, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as broken heating, overgrown gardens, and a need for modernisation. The score reflects an average rating due to the balance of positive and negative feedback.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. While there is a mention of the host leaving bread, milk, and other items, it is not a recurring theme in the reviews, and thus a score cannot be provided.

Unfortunately the heating was broken during our stay but the owner did everything to try and get it rectified, even sending someone out at 10pm and offering to reimburse us for logs for the fireplace. Could do with little modernisation but it absolutely did not bother us or affect our stay. Would definately recommend

Unfortunately we didnât find any improvements had been made since the review in August. Overflowing rubbish bins, wasp nest, broken furniture, stained bath, broken lockâ¦the list could go on and on! A goodwill gesture was made by the owner but despite this we felt we had poor value for money and Sykes took no responsibility for listing this property. Disappointed.

Unfortunately the photographs are not representative of the property that we stayed in and feel very upset that having paid over £800 for this property for 5 days it was not good value. The long driveway approach to the property was overgrown and it was impossible for our car to not connect with the overgrown hedges. The property rather than that displayed on your photos was overgrown with doc leaves, nettles, weeds etc. The delightful looking pony paddock in front of the property was overgrown fencing broken, the wall in a poor state nothing like the advertised view. Arrival through the back door first sight a floor standing boiler that didn't look in a good state. Gaffer tape holding the flooring down in the kitchen. Games room : Not a lovely pool table as advertised but one with rips in the cloth poorly reaired with adhesive tape. Dart board with two darts! Within minutes of arriving noticed that the recycling bins hadn't been emptied fot some time as there would be no room for our waste. Also noted a wasps nest under the roof tiles between the bedroom dorma windows. I can go on and have photo's the rear lawn was over grown, rutted and had an overpowering smell of oil from the tank. On stripping the beds when leaving one mattress was badly stained, the pillows were stained, the windows were not cleaned. The bath panel was split, the bathroom had no towel rail or even a toilet roll holder and once closed the door could only be opened by turning the lock in the centre of the handle. On top of this a holiday let that didn't even provide any outside furniture to sit on. We had to resort to taking dining room chairs outside! I'm happy to post all of this and have photos to back everything I have have mentioned but would welcome your feedback.
