What our customers say about their holidays

  When we first arrived we were very kindly greeted by Peter and Paula whom were very lovey!

  The property was beautiful and very cosy! The log burner was already made up for us which was a lovely touch. However when we went to get into the hot tub it was not up to temperature so we had gone out for dinner to the Pembrooke which was more than we could have asked for! It was Delicious and beautiful!! However the hot tub has taken till 6am the next morning however from then it was lovely! However we were compensated by this and received a later check out time which was a very kind gesture. Negatives, -we did take a couple of our own towels which we are glad about as we had one big Towel and a small towel each for the duration of our stay. -no throws were provided to protect the sofas from dog hairs which i found strange as it’s a dog friendly property, luckily we packed our own throws. -in the photos the garden looked so much bigger which was great as we took our dog with us however when we arrived the garden had been sectioned off and a small section was allocated for our lodge, I believe it looked like herbs and vegetation was being grown the other side of the chicken wire however on a POSITIVE note the lovely couple who owned the property allowed me to walk my dog in their paddock the other side of their house. Overall we had a lovely stay the property ticked all our boxes and enjoyed it thoroughly! We would highly recommend this, would be perfect in the summer!

  We stayed at this property during August 2021 and must admit we were rather disappointed.

  The interior of the property was very nice, however the outside space was very small, not at all what the pictures suggested as there was wire fencing immediately behind the hot tub, rendering the outdoor space very tiny. Also the partition between the two holiday lets was poor and very impersonal! It was pointed out by our next door hosts that we could have used the owners personal gardens, however this was not fully explained to us. When we stayed here we took our well behaved dog, unfortunately we left him in the property after our arrival (as we needed to go grocery shopping as the property is self catering and we had driven 4 hours), but within 10 minutes of leaving the property I received a very curt text from the owner telling me to immediately return to the property as I had broken the terms and conditions of our holiday rental - sadly something which I have never experienced before when staying in numerous properties with a dog. Please note that owners check the hot tub daily between 11am-1pm, which I personally found extremely intrusive - and this was not mentioned on the instructions when booking. The owners also shut the gates to the parking area (immediately infront of the property) by 8pm. Sadly my experience of this property poor and not as listed, we so I left early. Sadly we did not enjoy my stay at this property at all and would not return. Very disappointing!

  We stayed in Sty 2 with the hot tub.

  Lovely cabin and absolutely beautiful location! It is remote, but that's the reason we wanted to go there. (Do your research rather than moaning about something you failed to notice). The property was very clean on arrival, no complaints. The welcome hamper was a nice touch and it was good that disherwasher tablets, cloths and tea towels were left. Good sized fridge with a small freezer compartment too. The living kitchen area is a really good size and furniture could be moved around easily to make more space. The log burner was lovely and really easy to get a fire started. The only thing we really didn't like were the mattresses, both beds were uncomfortable but the room without the en suite really needs replacing ASAP. Also, the garden is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture, but this was fine because of the amount of fields and country lanes nearby to walk the dog. I didn't realise the property is a semi detached on booking, luckily we didn't hear much from next door other than a few barks from their dog. The garden could be more private for the hot tub side, if next door were in their garden they would be staring right at you, lucky for us we barely saw the other occupants. We enjoyed a well needed few days away, thanks

  The cottage was a little gem and the surroundings were the crown jewels!

  The accommodation is perfect for a couple. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom has a fantastic walk-in shower and the bedroom has sufficient storage and a very comfortable bed. What makes this cottage extra special is the position and the views from each window. I loved the visiting wildlife, especially the heron, the ducks and the moorhens. The four cheeky resident hens stole my heart. It was good to know that the owners were nearby if we needed anything but they were unobtrusive so we felt that we had complete privacy. They also provided the most generous welcome pack that we've ever had in a holiday cottage. There are plenty of good eateries within a short drive, also a well stocked and friendly village shop which also serves hot pasties and coffees to take away or devour on the couple of tables in front of the shop. So although the location is rural and extremely peaceful, it does not feel remote. I would have no hesitation in recommending this little slice of heaven to anyone who appreciates countryside and wildlife.

  First of all, the holiday cottage was 5 STAR and couldn't fault the accommodation.

  Frankly although the cottage was beautiful and also the area we didn't find it good for dog walking, walking on the roads to access areas where we could exercise the dog could be dangerous. I certainly had to keep my wits about me with blind bends and cars travelling too fast for the conditions. Most of the surrounding fields contained sheep, I found access/right of way blocked off and I couldn't get over the style myself, never mind having a dog? This location is more suited for ramblers I'd say. One observation, I'd let anyone booking with Sykes cottages know about £68.00 booking fee up front. This wasn't mentioned until I was confirming to booking. The location, Tenbury was our saving grace finally somewhere we could let the dog off the lead as he's trained. Finally thank you to Peter and Paula, beautiful cottage, very comfortable.
