Unfortunately the accommodation had not been serviced when we arrived at 3.15 but there was a very good reason and Sykes/owner sorted it out within the hour to a very high standard.One area which does need sorting out is the TV system. The lounge TV needed resetting every time it was turned on and we couldnât get the bedroom TV to work at all! The WiFi was a bit temperamental. We took great care on the stairs - which was necessary. Nothing to do with the cottage but care had to be taken crossing the main road as there wasnât a pavement. We had a very pleasant stay and will definitely return.
