What our customers say about their holidays

  Truly the best week away ever.

  If you’re thinking of booking this place, DO IT! Jo, Ian and their daughter were lovely- anything we needed was provided. The cottage was extremely cosy and clean upon arrival. There were clear instructions for everything. I don’t even know what to say as everything was 10/10 - the hot tub was amazing, the bed was comfy, our dog Kobe had the best week ever running around the enclosed garden. Kobe is a flight risk (he’s only 1 so his recall isn’t the best) and I felt safe with him off lead in the garden. The facilities were excellent; the kitchen was great to cook in with all utensils and kit provided. The bathroom was lovely. We got to do our washing and drying while away (which is a BIG help for returning home and not having to do it here!!) The area is also fantastic as well- so lush and green, nice and remote, plenty of places to eat out, good walks, nature. We will be coming back next year. The owners are truly running a fabulous place, just amazing. Thank you again- Amy, Ryan and Kobe (Liverpool)

  When we arrived we had to clean the fridge out because there had been a spillage of milk over the bottom of the fridge that had dried and needed cleaning before we could place any of our items in the fridge.

  The coffee was stale, the cottage needed a good dusting, there was a dirty rug at the back of the living room which we had no idea why, the main bathroom needs more ventilation and got so musty from condensation mould is growing in there, you couldn’t open any windows around that area so when you went to sleep at night you felt you were breathing in damp, the bed is two single beds pushed together! The small toilet leaked, barely anything matched in the kitchen and all the mugs were dirty. There seems to be a problem with damp because there’s moss growing on the outside of the building and when it was slightly wet on the brick driveway you really had to watch where you walked or you slipped over. No robes provided for the hot tub, we had to go and buy some during our stay. Good location and a great hot tub. Only met owner and he was pleasant and helpful. Wouldn’t go back due to the damp issues mentioned.

  We enjoyed our stay here in this lovely cottage which has fab views.

  This was our first time booking a cottage with Sykes and we were a bit nervous about it but needn’t have worried. Immediate confirmation of the booking came through from Sykes and the owners themselves. Lots of information from the owners too via e mail prior to our stay and a phone call to provide the key code 2 days beforehand. The cottage itself is small but cosy & had everything we needed for a 2 night stay, lovely & clean, we slept well (maybe all the walking we did!) and loved the area. The owners even check in with you the day after arrival to make sure you’re settling in ok which is a lovely touch. The one thing it might be worth mentioning is the steep path from where you park to the cottage , which we were ok with but someone else may not be., to be expected though I guess in this beautiful area. Overall we recommend it , and would stay again!

  Fabulous old stone barn conversion with loads of space to relax.

  Tons of character. Quality of all services (heating / hot water / shower/ TV/ wifi / external lighting / kitchen etc) was first class. Bed a bit soft and bouncy for our taste but that is very much an individual preference. Hot tub fabulous.... really professional installation with lovely frame / roof surround with built in "fairy lights". A real treat. Good walks through the woods from the cottage itself. Also up to the runed manor house (Maps / walk guides would have been a welcome addition). Very high quality food served at The Dog at Prentice (5 minute drive). Wonderful, relaxing stay

  Wonderful stay in this huge cottage.

  So beautiful. Tastefully decorated for Christmas. Very secure setting because of the double sets of gates. Basket of logs and firelighters/kindling were provided which was a nice touch. Cottage was spotless clean. Bed was very comfy but it is set up as a double so give them notice if you want singles. Hot tub is delightful but take a bluetooth speaker if you want to play music. Garden is secure for dogs. So peaceful except for the odd speeding train which you only hear from the garden. Only negative was no shampoo/shower gel. I didn't think to take my own.
