What our customers say about their holidays

  Firstly we loved Lyme Regis.

  However finding the property and key safe situation was a different story. We were not told until we had paid the full price of the holiday about the keysafe situation. We have used Sykes Cottages before and after payment we have been given instructions and the owners number which gives us as seniors peace of mind incase of any problems or difficulties. Your previous properties have been perfect no problems at all and even a welcome pack to greet you not here sadly. The garden isn’t inviting as it looks in the photographs. We were looking forward to using the deckchairs but they were in a poor state tucked up the side of the building.In fact all the garden furniture was in a poor state and it was a lot of money to us what we paid to be disappointed like this. It’s supposed to have a washing machine but it hasn’t that shouldn’t be stated. Yes it states the steps to the bathroom are step but that is a bit of an understatement for health and safety reasons there should be a rail put there.The extraction fan was making terrible noises so we were nervous to use it so refrained and that wasn’t ideal as there is no window in the said bathroom. We didn’t stay the whole term of the holiday we had to return home the bed was so uncomfortable we were suffering with terrible backache. Luckily it was very warm so didn’t require to use the duvet so layed that on the mattress to try and make it a bit more comfortable.

  A beautiful cottage with a stunning view from the lounge. The approach from the road is not great, but once inside it's lovely and welcoming, There were loads of dog towels to use and a guest umbrella in the lobby. This was lovely I thought and useful! The dining kitchen is pretty with its ornamental aga. The kitchen itself is very small but opens into the dining area so doesn't feel small. There's no dishwasher or washing machine/tumble dryer. The heating was on when we arrived making it a lovely warm welcome. The fire was prepped ready for us to use. The fire did not give out great heat but the heating could be easily changed and the house warmed up quickly. It was well presented, clean and tidy. I loved the crisp white bedding and towels provided. There was a hair dryer. Because the owners use the house themselves occasionally there was plenty of stuff there to use i thought. I needed a plaster as there was a pack in a drawer! There's a bird feeder in the garden and it was lovely sitting watching the birds even close up with the binoculars which have great resolution to look at the birds or up to the top of the hill! Books, maps games there should you desire to use. Had there been a washer dryer and dishwasher I would rate this accommodation 5 star.

  This is both the best holiday accommodation and most dog friendly accommodation we have stayed in.

  The property was beautifully appointed and had so many great dog friendly facilities. As owners of a large dog, we were delighted that the garden was properly secure (high fences) and spacious. There were also a selection of dog bowls, a hamper of dog towels and a hamper of dog blankets for the furniture, if you have a sofa dwelling dog. The kitchen was very well equipped, with excellent quality kitchen ware. A great bonus is the upstairs entertainment room, with a massive TV, XBox, DVDs,CDs, books and a computer desk with monitors. The beds were comfortable, the showers were large with good water pressure, the towels were soft and there were even slippers and robes. Having stayed out of season, we were glad it was nice and warm in the house. I can imagine, it would be lovely to sit out in the garden in the summer. It is also in a great location; Wigton, nearby has good facilities, Carlisle is only 20 minutes or so up the road, or head south for the Lakes, north for Hadrian’s Wall, or west for the coast.

  Perfect location from village with wonderful views from the lounge, and stunning views of the stars at night. Cottage is beautifully decorated. The garden is small, and the wall is very low. With the neighbouring cottage also a holiday let accepting dogs, this is a factor for us, we wouldn’t have used the garden with our dog off lead as it is not secure. Sofas were terrible - very uncomfortable with cushions that continually slide off the front and we aren’t the first guests to mention this. Loved Hawes, good places to eat and the Wensleydale Pantry offers take away from their menu, we will return to the village as the walks from here are some of our new favourites. We would recommend the cottage to friends but not without telling them of the downsides and unfortunately we are unlikely to book the cottages again ourselves unless the sofas are significantly improved.

  Snowdrop Cottage had everything you needed for a great stay.

  The cottage was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. As somebody who has to have a dark bedroom, the shutters on the windows were a bonus as this made the room dark and relaxing ready for a good nights sleep. The beds were comfortable and even get a choice of pillows. The extra touches that Christine & Steven had thought off, ie plenty of tea towels, condiments, washing up liquid to name a few, were very appreciated as these are things you either bring or have to buy. Christine's communication was excellent, with a great knowledge of the area. The weather for our stay was not great, so we did not get to do any of the walks from the cottage, and also missed out on some other suggestions, so we are looking to come back next year.
