    The bathroom was on the lower floor down some steep and narrow steps which was a bit worrying during the night. When we arrived the tv wouldn’t work, we reported this at 3.50pm to Sykes Cottages and were told that someone would call that evening. No one came until lunchtime the following day. We also asked about the CCTV cameras around the property which felt very intrusive, no one got back to us.

    !! The owners have thought of absolutely everything and really made our honeymoon feel special. Thanks so much for everything.

    . we was there during a storm and the main gates didn’t work, we have electric gates at home, so we understand what a storm does to them, but happened to be the day we was leaving so couldn’t get car down to property, taking our luggage up the steep hill was a slight killer.. but we survived:) And would love to return one day.
