  The property was warm and large enough in terms of living, sleeping and dining space, but one bathroom and toilet is not sufficient for the size of the property.

  The garden isn't secure with gaps and broken panels in the fence, which would allow my small dogs to escape. The garden also had feaces in it, which made it a problem for my dogs. I had to clean them on the first day And after that I couldnt allow them to go outside without a lead. The hottub had far too much chemical in it, it made my families hands peel. The dishwasher wasn't working and the hot tap in the kitchen wasn't working well, so using the hot water from this source to wash up was a problem. We boiled the kettle each time we needed to wash up. Some of the crockery was chipped, and old. Generally the property was comfortable enough, and we enjoyed our holiday but this property needed some maintenance. It felt unloved, it needed some TLC and a spring clean. It could be a really good property with a little bit of attention and maintenance. In terms of ratings, we felt that it falls short of 4.7 out of 5, and is the most disappointing of the 4 properties we have visited from Sykes Cottages site. Some of the things I've listed in my feedback are already documented in the visitors book, and still haven't been actioned. The property location is very quite, and in that way, a good place for a relaxing break. However, within a few miles there are local facilities and access to a small town. We received some locally sourced food item's on arrival, these were appreciated.

  We had a 2 night stay here after a camping trip and was greeted by the lovely owners who showed us round.

  Emma was brilliant with the children and directed them to the secret mud kitchen in the woods that was just beautiful. Theres lots for the children to do and play with. We were gifted some lemon cake and homemade juice which was absolutely yummy!!! The glamping tent was huge and comfortably slept all 5 of us whilst giving us lots of space within the main area of the tent. The cupboard bedroom was a real hit with my daughter. We had a hot tub which was super easy to get going (do this as soon as you can to be able to enjoy it as soon as you arrive). The grounds are just breathtaking as well as the peace and tranquility. We were offered to do the farm tour but my children decided to sleep in, so I embraced the opportunity to sit outside with a cuppa. The tent is so clean and tidy and felt like we were the first ones using it. The beds are really comfy and slept amazing.... we really wished we had stayed longer. Be prepared for absolute darkness at night, so an extra torch needs to be packed. We also took our gas stove for a quick brew in the morning rather than waiting for the stove to heat up which i would recommend taking.... also do remember to take slippers. We didn't do much exploring further out of the site as we were quite happy to explore the grounds and relax. We will definitely return if we are ever down south again. Thank you Aller Farm Camping x

  We all enjoyed our week at Waveney cottage despite the weather not being very good.

  The cottage is furnished to a high standard and very comfortable and it is in a very peaceful location. However, we were a little confused by the Aga as the original description stated an Aga, electric oven and hob so we thought we had an alternative and booked the property on that basis which was a bit misleading. However, we conquered the Aga. We would have appreciated a warning about the tricky staircase and low beam. It is not safe or suitable for elderly people, our age group was 75-85 with varying mobility problems. In other words we would not have booked the cottage on that basis. I think that a mention about this should be added In the description as it is a very important point. Also, the smaller bedroom ensuite toilet did not function properly. We were aware of the age of property and that it was listed and operated on LPG energy and in fact were very impressed by the spaciousness. The welcome package was very generous and the owner had gone to great lengths to make us comfortable, but had we known the disadvantages for our age group we would not have committed to it.

  Photo of nice hot tub, text received day before arrival quote" The cover has recently been damaged, the wait time for a new one is a few months, unquote.

  On arrival 17 inch rip in joint of cover, months/year old looking at damage, all four buckles broken, green mold embedded in foam handles. I dont like untruths. Next day we got into hot tub, tingling feet, red rashes on legs, have had my own pools and hot tubs, obvious too much chlorine. I diluted it myself and sent a text not to add any more for the second week of stay as I had been informed it was offered. Chlorine needs to be added precise and carefully, health and safety should be at the fore. Cottage 450 years old in good condition, nice welcome pack, fenced garden for dog, had everything you would need. Again photos showed a nice dressing table in main bedroom, not there on arrival replaced by a clothes horse. Recycling bin containing previous owners and our recycling disappeared at weekend, not to be returned with no reason given. Feel the photos need an up date to help the customers see what is on offer before booking.

  We loved our stay at Hillcrest Shepherds hut.

  As a family of 5 it’s not always easy to find accommodation to suit us but this was a lovely little cabin with absolutely everything we needed. It was well maintained and very cleverly thought out to maximise the space. It had lots of lovely little touches - many of them hand built by the owners. The hot tub was clean, warm and easy to use with lovely views of the surrounding areas. As a working farm there were plenty of animals around including goats and horses and we were greeted with a bowl of freshly collected chicken eggs on arrival. The kids had a fantastic time and the friendly host was happy to tell us about some family friendly activities in the local area. Clitheroe castle museum and the wild boar park were particular highlights. We also had a great meal at Tilly’s in nearby chipping.
