  I wish I could give more stars for this amazing property but the app only allows 5.

  Shame. Anyway, to the review: Prior to arrival, I had a lovely message asking what time I expected to arrive for key handover. Lovely gesture, makes this feel less transactional and way more welcoming. Was asked to message 10 minutes before I arrived, which I duly did from a farm up the road that has a milk machine and donkeys!! More on that on a different review. Arrived at a very well directed and signposted lodge and what a view. David was waiting, and was very patient. David showed us around the lodge, and the surrounding land. Everything was well pointed out both inside and out, and full instructions provided for all things that needed them. Nothing was a problem, and both David and Sonia were on hand if anything was needed, which again is a lovely touch. David even showed us around the other lodge as it was unoccupied, and it's just as beautiful. The lodge itself was gorgeous, so well designed and laid out. Very well decorated. Everything you could possibly want is provided, including a lovely welcome basket. Very considerate. The view from the large bifold doors is outstanding, even on a rainy day! The last day looked like something out of silent hill! Privacy from the hot tub was excellent and the tub itself was immaculate. Probably the cleanest one I've seen. The rooms in the lodge are all excellent, perfectly sized with good storage. Massive bathtub in the main bathroom and large shower in the ensuite. The sofa and indeed all the chairs were very comfy. Excellent kitchen facilities and a huge fridge and freezer. Outside, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Hot tub had speakers built in too! Extra luxury, but to be honest the sounds of the working farm were much nicer to listen to. On that subject, I took a little walk and met some of the young calves. How nice it was to give them chin scratches! I honestly cannot thank David and Sonia enough, what a place to stay. Even had the sweetest message after leaving! Would love to return, this place is an absolute gem, as are its hosts.

  The accommodation was superb.

  It is a lovely property with stunning views. Super modern and very tastefully decorated. Really comfortable accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble if anything was needed from the owners. The attention to detail and level of service provided by the owners was really appreciated. It was blistering hot weather too. They tried their very best to make our stay perfect. The cows and sheep in fields around the property made it extra special. I love animals. When leaving the sheep gathered, looking at us and bleeted goodbye by the exit :). We loved it. This is by far the best Sykes property we have stayed in and we have stayed in some other lovely properties. The owners make it extra special with this stay. That level of attention to detail and friendly service is rare. But they were not at all interfering at the same time. We had privacy to enjoy the property but care with the way the property was presented and looked after. Them living next door provides assurance in the event of anything going wrong, but it did not. Both the owners are so friendly and they really do care about their business. I received a friendly welcome text the night before our stay introducing themselves and saying they were looking forward to us staying at their accommodation. I have never had that before. One property owner before actually wondered why I was calling before the stay when it said I was to call them on the sykes details before. The accommodation was spotless. They were even cleaning the windows as we pulled up, in the hot weather. Luxury piled carpets in the bedrooms that feet sank into. An outstanding stay. Thank you. Just what we needed!

  What a charming cabin!

  We needed a relaxing weekend break and we couldn't have asked for more - gorgeous views of the valleys, countryside, not to mention all the baby lambs we saw on the drive in/out! The interior of the cabin feels immensely fresh and stylish, with so much attention to detail, and a full range of cutlery and utensils which was fab! There is mobile signal and wifi which was an added bonus though still feel so disconnected from the rest of the world which is exactly what we were hoping for. The hosts were lovely to meet and very quick to answer any questions! The cabins are easy to find so long as you follow the directions correctly. So many wonderful places to explore. Our small dog and toddler were able to play at their leisure in the enclosed garden. There is a second cabin too which if travelling in bigger groups would make a great additional space, as well as an extra hot tub! The hot tub was especially relaxing and very easy to work. We will definitely be returning! You will not regret staying here, thank you so much for having us ♡

  What a wonderful lodge, a gem of a find.

  My husband and I (and our two dogs) had a very pleasant stay with fantastic views, accommodation and facilities, everything you would need and like for a relaxing break away as a couple, family or group of friends. Banty and Rachel had thought about the customer experience very well, which included a rather lovely and well thought out welcome pack, and also for the pooches. There was various books and games to play too. The accommodation was very comfortable to stay in, including the beds. We took our PS5 so we could also watch Netflix, Sky Go, listen to music, or play on the console as desired. The hot tub was very well maintained, one of the cleanest we’ve been in, and was very relaxing taking in the breathtaking views. The dogs loved being able to run around in the enclosed garden and to watch and listen to the sheep in the fields and also numerous species of birds. We enjoyed it so much so that we’ve booked to return again in a couple of months time.

  Perfection!

  - I can honestly say this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. It was immaculate. It had everything you need for your stay; cooking and cleaning up equipment, a hairdryer, robes and towels for the hot tub all provided. The finishing touches and attention to detail was exceptional, including a welcome basket of treats, and even some for the dogs. There are a selection of books and games available to play, my son particularly enjoyed the sketchbook and pencils to draw. The show stopper though, is the incredible floor to ceiling views you could watch all day from inside, outside, or the hot tub! You can explore parts of the surrounding land and head out up The Hill for even more spectacular views and if the night sky is clear you can take advantage of the darkness and gaze at the stars above. Thank you for a brilliant few days, we have already been look at dates to return to unplug from busy city life and relax in perfect surroundings.
