  A perfect stay!

  ! Spent a week here with my wife and family to celebrate my 30th birthday and it certainly did not disappoint. The cottage is outstanding and Clare’s attention to detail did not go unnoticed from the little doggy welcome pack to the “just in case you forgot” basket which provided some handy items (as I forgot my shower gel). The cottage instantly felt like home and is the cleanest, most well presented cottage we have ever stayed in. The pool table and hot tub meant the couple of rainy days we had were no issue at all. Woodhall spa has so much to offer. It’s unique town with independent shops is a must see, and it’s very easy to see why the town won best presented in 2011 and 2012, the houses and surrounding areas are pristine. Clare’s welcome book with recommendations were spot on. Abbey lodge is a must visit if you want to be taken to food heaven, the home cooked pie was a winner. Anderby creek is also a must see, a beautiful dog friendly quiet sandy beach and just a short walk from the observatory providing great views out to see and a great lunch. Finally, the tea house in the woods kept calling our names. We visited it three times during our stay and had to resist the urge for a fourth before leaving. The cream tea and scones are a different level. The highlight for me was seeing our little doggy Simba have the best holiday ever. He loved splashing around in the sea, running on the beach and exploring the garden. Clare is an amazing host, so kind, helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We can’t wait to return in the future and highly recommended a trip here. We feel very rested after our week stay :).

  Lovely house , great location.

  However I would not class this as a family home. We were asked not to play family games in the garden & asked to leep pur noise down by a neighbour due to it being such a quiet area. Absolutely acceptable but not laughing and having fun should be kept down. It hired as a family holiday home. Which ment we felt we couldn't enjoy how we like to. We were asked to be out the hot tub by 9pm which is very early for adults. The cleanliness looked fab on arrival but when started to un packing we found spiders every where, cob webs every where, crisp packet In-between sofa, sock left under bed, and more. There was a smell when arrived of sewage, was told it was the plug not pushed down correctly. After products n fee days it slowly went. The neighbours were lovely barring one who asked us as a family to not have any loud fun. He also was very unhappy this home was a holiday home n made his views very aware to us and made us feel very uncomfortable. The welcome pack I felt was not acceptable. A fee basic loose t.bags, few sachets of coffee n sugar in a basket with dog hairs in ... yuk. No milk so couldn't even have a brew after a 7 hour drive. Yes prosecco but id definitely prefer a brew than a glass of prosecco after a long drive. I understand it self catering but sykes accommodation are always a wow factor especially their welcome packs and I have to say this was the worst I'd experienced. Unfortunately this holiday was far from pur best and I hope these things are took on board. Being in this buisness myself I would rate this property at forst look 8 out 10 but on arrival and settling in 4 out 10.

  Wow! What can I say about Daisy Tree Cottage?

  ! First of all, a BIG thank-you to the lovely host Clare, for letting us stay at this stunning property. We all have thoroughly enjoyed it. Right from the comfortable beds, and well catered to supplies in the bathrooms and kitchen (essentials like these are a must! Tired of going away and forgetting something, then having to fork out to add extras or kitchen equipment as it's not supplied). The host was absolutely lovely. We loved the games room, the well maintained garden and the hottub. The property overall was very clean and cosy. We loved the complimentary goodies especially the wine and the plum loaf. The whole area was very quaint and charming and very enjoyable. If I could choose to live anywhere, then I think this would be my heaven on earth dream come true. My youngest was hype about it when he got back, says it was the best holiday ever! My eldest, although a bit fussy, was glad of the comfy mattress, as the last holiday we went on, had awful lumpy ones, so at least he slept better this time. We just adored this place, it was so nice and peaceful here. Also, the shops were very easy to reach and there was an especially nice bakery, which sold some rather exquisite delectables. Overall, I think 10/10 doesn't seem fair, as this property is more a 100/10! Walking through that door the first day, after having lost a day due to a mix-up with the hire car, was such a welcome relief. Just absolutely loved it through and through. Many thanks for making holidays great again. ❤️

  Fantastic Holiday Cottage, Fantastic Owner Clare is a wonderful host, her communication with us both before we arrived and during our stay was the best we have ever received.

  Although arrival time was scheduled for 4pm she contacted us early to let us know we could begin using the cottage as it was ready. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome pack to celebrate the coronation weekend, even a treat for the dog. The cottage was beautifully appointed and equipped and we lacked for nothing by way of equipment. The hot tub and games room were a real bonus. We met Clare during our stay, when she came to check the water quality in the hot tub and it was clear she is very passionate about giving her guests a good holiday. We will gladly recommend this cottage to our family and friends as it really was one of the best we have ever stayed at. It's a very peaceful location, yet only a short walk to all of the amenities that Woodhall Spa has to offer. Great selection of coffee shops, restaurants and food outlets, the vast majority being independent. Also a good base from which to visit the coast.

  What an absolute gem this cottage is!

  I stayed with my husband, our dog, my parents and my sister, who is in a wheelchair. We stay in different parts of the country each year, but this has been the best one so far. What made it perfect for us, is that there is so much within walking distance. Clare (the owner) has put a lot of care into it and it shows. She asks that you feel at home here, it’s hard to see how you couldn’t! It’s a perfect size, lovely and airy. Incredibly comfortable beds, a safe garden for our little 4 legged friend (we did put a bin up against the small side gate, as we’ve got a mini schnauzer and felt she could have squeezed through), the pool room and hot tub are huge bonuses too. Even the neighbours are lovely. We loved it that much that we’ve booked for next year.
