Great location. The welcome pack was appreciated. Could do with more cutlery and crockery. Once the dishwasher was full, nothing to use. Heating was easy to use and efficient, which was needed with the snow!

I would just make a few little suggestions and these are just "would be nice to haves" - In the twin room somewhere to hang clothes and a mirror. In the Kitchen it would be nice to have have doubles of cutlery, plates, bowls, etc. However these minor things would in no way stop us from 100% recommending Varley Villas to family and friends, we had a lovely stay in your cosy accommodation. The owners were also very friendly and stressed that they were there to help should we need them. There was just one little thing the directions of how to find the house once you have reached Newtown are not accurate and we had to ring the owner for directions. So if Sykes Cottages Admin Team could just alter this it would help.
