  What a fabulous place Hartcliffe View is.

  We have just returned from a weekend birthday celebration with all the family. 12 humans and 3 little dogs. Firstly this is a completely dog friendly place with a large walled garden, big dog bed, bowls etc. provided. The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay with a fully equipped kitchen and utility room- home away from home just bring your food- there’s plenty of storage. Kitchen roll, bin bags, spices , condiments even ice for our evening tipple were all provided. The complimentary couple of bottles of red and tin of biscuits was much appreciated thank you Ed. The kitchen quickly became the hub of the house. On another note there were plenty of loo roll supplied for every bathroom which is not always the case with holiday rentals and there is a hairdryer in every room. The house is well presented and very clean. The large dining room meant we could sit down together and enjoy shared meals into the evening. The house is big enough for everyone to have their space with plenty of activities, the games room was a big hit as was the 70inch TV in the lounge with Sky Sports and a PlayStation. We hired the hot tub as an extra (just as an aside for me it should be included in the house hire as these days hot tubs usually are because who doesn’t like a hot tub) and even though we had inclement weather it was great to sit with a glass of fizz taking in the lovely farm land views. We had an 18 month old toddler with us - the supply of a baby gate, cot, soft play area, bath toys and high chairs were very welcome ! We visited the friendly local pub- open fire, pool table and dart board for a quick drink after walking in the area - plenty of countryside walks round there. All in all we had a thoroughly lovely time and can all highly recommend Hartcliffe - we will be back - thanks for your hospitality Ed ! Wendy and the Von Trapp Family Singers !

  This is an absolutely fantastic place to visit.

  We loved our week here but somethings were a little bit of a struggle if you have any back or hip problems. The sofa is extremely soft and low. And the chairs are also low and soft with no support. The mattresses felt like you would fall out of bed as they peaked in the middle. The views in the hot tub are amazing. And the sauna was so refreshing on the morning. Felt like you were in another world. The owner and manager came to visit us at our request and they were great to deal with. The shepherds hut is amazing on the property. The garden was enclosed so my chihuahua had free space in the garden. The roads are very country narrow and bendy so you need to consider this if you’re a nervous driver. We found a farm house on next hill along about 2 minute from the house in a car that did fresh hen, duck and goose eggs. There is also Fox Valley shopping centre with Iceland and Aldi and home bargains, boots and Costa and an few other shops about a 10 minute drive away so we were able to shop often for the week with fresh goods. The views are outstanding and the walks around the reservoirs are stunning. Sitting in the hot tub you can see the horses and rabbits running across the fields or look at the view the opposite way which is trees and hear the birds singing. The garden was set up brilliant with plenty of seating. The local pub (The Castle Inn) is all up hill to get there and on a narrow bendy road so walking we felt was a bit treacherous for that. So may need to assign a designated driver or organise a taxi. Overall I absolutely would recommend 2 Pheasant Lane. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was sofa and mattresses in the main house. Other than that we loved being here.

  The inside of this property was very nice indeed and the woman who met us was very welcoming and pleasant.

  However we had a number of complaints about the grounds which we passed onto Sykes when we came home as we were informed when we arrived that there was no one to maintain the outside of the property. I contacted Sykes originally as I did not wish to leave an unfavourable public review. However, both their response and the response of the owner (not the woman who met us who was very helpful) has been most unacceptable, in that I had to pester Sykes for a response then when it came back they merely passed on the owners explanation which was to blame the weather and quick turn around between clients as well as saying we should have informed them straight away. (we did and were told there was no one to maintain the outside)The main issues were that the garden at the front was full of weeds, the plants at the back in the big pots were dead, there was a huge pot of stagnant water at the entrance, the patio was uneven, the umbrellas for the patio furniture were broken, the barbeque and pizza oven were filthy (we cleaned them) as well as the bins being full when we got there so having to take our rubbish down to a skip. I had assumed that Sykes regularly checked the properties on their site but this seems not to be the case. Needless to say we will not be booking with Sykes again.

  We were looking for a relaxing, peaceful stay for a group of friends and this is exactly what we got.

  The property is spacious, with great open plan social space inside and out. The beds are comfortable, bedrooms have good storage space. And it was lovely to wake up hearing the birds every morning in a beautiful location. (Perhaps not the pheasants at 6am, but what else can you expect on Pheasant Lane?!) The kitchen has everything you could want to make this feel like a home from home. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and the property is in a great location for running or walking routes. The welcome pack and tour from Keiran on our arrival was very kind. A great find, we can’t wait to go back again. We received the wrong contact point details for the property to arrange key collection from Sykes Cottages in an email. Thankfully, the person we contacted in advance of our stay, who had left the role, was very understanding and put us in touch with Keiran- the new contact. We noticed the old contact details name and number are still in the property information pack in the house (but not on the online version Kieran sent us) and Kieran’s name, but the the wrong phone number for key collection details were on the Sykes Cottages online account, just wanted to mention so this can be updated so others don’t have the same experience.

  We were a group ranging in age from 11 months to 81.

  The house suited our needs perfectly, catering for everyone. We required ground floor sleeping accomodation as well as downstairs living and socialising areas as our elderly member could not access the stairs. Once again, the house proved perfect for this. Sleeping accomodation catered really well for 2 couples, a couple with a baby and a family. The play pen provided by our hosts proved invaluable as we were able to relax as baby played happily and safely in the pen. The extensive grounds were enjoyed by all, particularly as the weather was lovely. We hired 2 hot tubs and these were used and enjoyed by all. We hired Tom and Mark to cook a meal to celebrate a special birthday and this was excellent. The games room on the top floor was perfect for the children aged 10 and 12 and the adults joined in too. A great time was had by all. We were lucky that Ed and Kim were staying next door and could attend to any (very minor) issues. Thank you! Everyone in the party was very complimentary about the house and are looking forward to returning. Thank you so much to Ed and Kim for their hospitality and generosity (the wine and biscuits were much appreciated). Thank you so much.
