What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is one of the best we have been to and owned by two lovely people who go out of their way to make the stay in their lovely property welcoming, pleasant and ideal for a break.

  We couldn't fault the cottage or Steve and Lindy but unfortunately the attitude from Sykes when we wanted to stay three extra days was awful. ,I checked online just to see what the charge would be for 3 days if I hadn't already been there and it was £366 - When I asked Sykes how much for me to extend for three extra days when I was already there I was quoted £499 - I queried it and was told it was £407 extra as we were going into another week plus £40 increase in booking fee, £22 for extra insurance (I agree here) and £30 Amendment fee. this is scandalous and it seems that the only people benefiting are Skye's. we left after the week as I will not be held to ransom. There are plenty of other places to book cottages in future. There would have been no need to change anything and all that was needed was to charge for three more days, hardly difficult when it was all set up. Why would they need more for the booking fee or amendment when everything was the same.I felt so sorry for the owners who had gone out of their way to help and the week we did have there was lovely - we veven had a welcome box and some eggs from their own hens but on principal I wouldn't pay the extra. Thanks Steve and Lindy for a great stay - shame on you money grabbing Sykes.

  We were not actually on holiday.

  We live in a nearby village and used Daffodil Cottage as somewhere to live while we had a new kitchen fitted. I would not recommend the cottage for a holiday as it has no garden or view. However the pub and fish and chip shop (which also does Chinese takeaways) are useful. The kitchen is adequately equipped but only just (more spoons, especially serving spoons would be helpful). The bedroom is small and so has a small 4ft6in bed but there is plenty of storage space in it. More information about parking would have been helpful: it took us a couple of days to realise that the 'No Parking' sign in front of the cottage did not apply to us. However parking in the square (where there are useful shops) is free but there are not always spaces available. There are plenty of attractions in the area which is why we live here. Grange-over-Sands is a reasonable shopping place but I often wonder why tourists like it as the 'Sands' are not 'bucket and spade' beaches but dangerous areas with mud and quick-sands.

  I was very surprised to find was owned by a local cleaning ‘solutions’ company… The following solutions were not met.

  Having stayed a few weeks before for another two weeks I found the same issues which even after reporting were not addressed or even responded to. The shower and bath had not been cleaned at all with footprints and scum rings in the bath and mould and hairs in the shower. The sewer pipe had a leak above the front door so expect an outdoor shower when emptying the bath and we were left with a dirty mop behind the electric fire to mop up a leaking chimney. There were stains all over the fireplace due to the leak and it would only have needed a lick of paint…. There was a lot of mould growing behind the bed. Were left a couple of toilet rolls and a bin bag for two weeks so had to go out and buy some more and some bathroom cleaner and bleach. Matters were raised by email with owner for resolution but I heard absolutely diddly squat back…. Other than that it was a charming building character wise in a nice location.

  This place is great.

  The location is fab, just outside the village, super quiet and on a laneway close to flat walks in all directions. The local pub is a ten minute walk. Louth, about a 15 minute drive away, is a beautiful historic village, has plenty of shops, lots of them local including several great deli / cheese / butchers shops, absolutely perfect for self catering. The cottage itself is nicely decorated and furnished, super clean and equipped with a good selection of high quality crockery and cookware. Bed was comfortable, bedding and towels are all good quality. The icing on the cake is the friendly owners, the welcome pack they left for us and being able to buy eggs from their own chooks! Fabulous stay. Would stay again if we are back in this area. Highly recommended.
