  After a 5 hour drive we arrived at Hillside House at 9 pm.

  The key code provided by Sykes was wrong; when I phoned the owner he said that he had sent us an update by Whatsapp with the correct key code. As I am not on Whatsapp I had not received this update. When we got in the property it was clear that something was wrong - it smelt musty. On checking the rooms we found that it had not been serviced since the last occupants. There were piles of dirty bed linen by each bed, the carpets were dirty. When we phoned the owner, he was clearly shocked and contacted the cleaner straight away. The cleaner arrived by 9:30 pm with 2 assistants and assured us that the house would get a 'quick clean' in only 2 hours; however,by this time we had decided to return home; this was to be a treat to celebrate my wife's birthday. When she saw the house she was so upset and said that she did not want to stay. I drove home, getting home at 2 am. We asked for a refund of the £1788 paid for 6 days; the owner offered us £200 as compensation for the 'inconvenience', which we declined. We have rented from Sykes Cottages on 7 occasions in the last 11 months and have stayed in some delightful cottages but we have been so disappointed with this experience.

  Ballowfield Barn is always immaculately presented and is a real home from home. The setup has been well thought out and it’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into what people need for their stay. This is one of the few places where we haven’t thought ‘oh they don’t have X’. We’ve stayed here three times so far and this definitely won’t be our last time visiting either. The whole area is beautiful and there are so many things on the doorstep of the cottage and even more within an hour or twos drive. This is only 1.5 hours from where we live but we genuinely feel like we’re in a whole other world when we visit.

  This property was amazing, would highly recommend, we had such a lovely stay. Big, clean, tidy, well equipped. lovely welcome gifts, for us and the dog. Great location for a base to explore the area. Owner very helpful and responded immediately to questions. Getting in and out of the driveway was a bit tricky as right on the road on a corner and have to reverse in, but you can also park just passed it by the road, which is where we parked the car we took out each day with the other safely in the drive. Local area is lovely, ate in several local pubs and all staff were lovely and really helpful with good food.

  Ballowfield Barn is an absolute delight to stay in. Great location with many places within an easy walk and lots of places to drive to too. Excellent standard of accommodation- it’s clear that the owners take great pride in their property. Everything you could ask for in terms of equipment - we were never left thinking we should have packed anything. The beds are super comfortable and the bathroom is again well equipped. We loved it so much that we booked our next stay whiles we were there to make sure we could come back. Highly recommended.

  We loved our stay.

  Its in a beautiful location and the cottage was beautiful. Everything we required was there. We had an issue with the electric as a fuse shorted and it was sorted out quickly and easily. The only small issues were the top bedroom was cold but its winter and its an old house so its to be expected. Also bathrooms were cold and the shower did overflow very easily which left the floor wet very quickly. But these are minor flaws and wouldnt stop me from staying in the cottage again or reccomending my clients to stay there.
