  What a lovely surprise awaited us when we arrived, flowers,bread,tea,Welsh cakes, crisps, wine and some chocolate These really made our first night …….

  Thanks Rowan cottage is a comfortable cottage just off the main high street in Builth Wells The cottage had everything we needed, and was very clean and tidy The double bed on the third floor was very comfy we slept very well, on the second floor there are 2 single beds and a lovely bathroom with both a shower and a bath The ground floor is shared with a kitchen and a cosy living room with a log burner which we didn’t use as it wasn’t cold enough The garden was a great bonus for our dog Plenty of shops on Castle street and pubs think we counted 7 There’s some lovely cafe’s too we only visited the Cwtch cafe which do a lovely full breakfast for £5.95 if you don’t fancy cooking We really enjoyed our stay the only problem was when we first booked we thought we had WiFi as it did state WiFi but elsewhere on the listing it states coming soon which we didn’t see It wasn’t a problem for us, but was for our son and be aware the phone signal is very patchy depending on your supplier There is on road car parking outside the cottage but we never managed to park there Behind the property is a Co op were you can pay to park over night or there’s a free carpark in town The photo of the cottage really doesn’t do justice to the quality of the cottage on the inside it really is lovely I’m sure we’ll be back as we enjoyed the area so much and thanks for calling us to let us know we’d left our dog bed which allowed us to come back to collect it

  We loved staying in Brambleberry Barn.

  It is beautifully spacious, clean and exceptionally well equipped. As we had our dog with us it was very important the garden was enclosed. It is and we could relax knowing he was safe. He loved the garden btw. We were blessed with wonderful sunny weather so the air conditioning in the living area was a great bonus. We liked the location being a short drive from Spilsby. It was very quiet with lovely views and a good base for different types of days out ( Skegness, Gunby Hall, Tattershall Castle,Woodhall Spa and the Kinema). Plus Thursday -Sunday a short walk to the Eaves Inn ( great food and staff). The furnishings inside the Barn were good quality. The gardener came while we were there and we saw how well kept it was. The farmer also cut and baled the hay in the field which entertained the dog! Minor maintenance is needed on the downstairs bathroom shower cord; upstairs smaller en-suite towel rail. Please check the living room rug for anti slip as we had to be careful with it folding up. Maybe consider a front gate as we were nervous the dog might slip past us when opening the front door. But it is a very quiet road and the dog enjoyed his ‘perch’ on the middle landing. Also a second front door key would be handy as we were 2 families with cars sometimes wanting to do different things. Thank you for this wonderful accommodation. We have recommended it to our sister and her adult children ( with dogs).

  Brambleberry barn is a beautiful, comfortable, spacious, light, quiet and warm place to stay.

  All the beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is plenty of good seating in the living room. All the rooms garden and hot tub enjoy fantastic views especially of the sunsets. The utility room was very useful with 2 dogs and the dog extras like towels and bowls were lovely. The garden is large and fully enclosed, even for my Yorkshire Terrier. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is plain to see. Our only niggle was the fact that the driveway is shared with the person in the annex, attached to the barn. We had no idea that there was a shared driveway or in fact someone else would be on site and we think Sykes should make that clear when promoting the barn. Although, the information given on Sykes said parking for 3 cars, when we looked at the photos, we realised that we could easily park 4 cars. We were a party of 4 single ladies travelling from different directions and needed the space so this was important to us. However, what we didn’t know of course was the fact that the driveway is shared! Luckily, we had small cars so we managed by careful parking but we feel this is an important fact to advertise!

  Enjoyed a wonderful holiday in the Stables, Burton Branstock and would love to return.

  The owner was very helpful advising us that we could check in to the cottage early and was able to give us advice on the local pubs and best walking routes to the adjacent beaches. The welcome pack of wine, flowers and biscuits were very much appreciated. The cottage was spacious and well equipped with top of the range appliances and the two bathrooms and extra toilet were handy with six guests. The location in the village was extremely convenient for the two local pubs and shops as they were only minutes away However, there were a few things that I think could improve the cottage. There was no artwork on the walls and things like books and games in the lounge leaving the ambience somewhat sterile. There were no door stops leading to the some of the walls being damaged. Clothes hooks on the back of the bathroom doors would have been handy as would waste paper bins in the bedrooms. But apart from these few things the Stables is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

  Ive had a beautiful break with my family thanks to Sykes’s cottages for finding me the perfect break!

  The lady who helped me find the cottage was very nice and helpful and found me exactly what i was looking for! Im usually very fussy picking the right cottage or location and with the help of Sykes cottage i found this amazing Gem of a cottage right at the last minute a day before i went to my destination i booked this cottage and even though it was very last minute i managed to get something i really liked! The cottage was absolutely immaculately presented, a new build so no faults to find, based on the perfect location just about 10 minutes walk to the beach which was absolutely stunning! it was like being in a foreign country- truly beautiful! the Owner Peter and Pauline were also very friendly and helpful. This is the 3rd time i booked with sykes cottages and it certainly wouldn’t be the last! definitely would recommend :)
