What our customers say about their holidays

  After a 5 hour drive we arrived at Hillside House at 9 pm.

  The key code provided by Sykes was wrong; when I phoned the owner he said that he had sent us an update by Whatsapp with the correct key code. As I am not on Whatsapp I had not received this update. When we got in the property it was clear that something was wrong - it smelt musty. On checking the rooms we found that it had not been serviced since the last occupants. There were piles of dirty bed linen by each bed, the carpets were dirty. When we phoned the owner, he was clearly shocked and contacted the cleaner straight away. The cleaner arrived by 9:30 pm with 2 assistants and assured us that the house would get a 'quick clean' in only 2 hours; however,by this time we had decided to return home; this was to be a treat to celebrate my wife's birthday. When she saw the house she was so upset and said that she did not want to stay. I drove home, getting home at 2 am. We asked for a refund of the £1788 paid for 6 days; the owner offered us £200 as compensation for the 'inconvenience', which we declined. We have rented from Sykes Cottages on 7 occasions in the last 11 months and have stayed in some delightful cottages but we have been so disappointed with this experience.

  The property only had one toilet which proved difficult to manage with a whole family. I recommend you install a downstairs toilet (even a small one) which would help a lot. Also, parking was not good. For future guests, please provide instructions of how to set the heating. The website info did not mention that the property had a washer/dryer. This was great but it would have helped prior to hiring as we were on a long trip and did most of our washing (inconveniently and at great expense) prior to taking the cottage. If we had of known about the washer/dryer, it would have helped us a lot. Other than that, the cottage was great. Thank you!

  Ballowfield Barn is always immaculately presented and is a real home from home. The setup has been well thought out and it’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into what people need for their stay. This is one of the few places where we haven’t thought ‘oh they don’t have X’. We’ve stayed here three times so far and this definitely won’t be our last time visiting either. The whole area is beautiful and there are so many things on the doorstep of the cottage and even more within an hour or twos drive. This is only 1.5 hours from where we live but we genuinely feel like we’re in a whole other world when we visit.

  This property was amazing, would highly recommend, we had such a lovely stay. Big, clean, tidy, well equipped. lovely welcome gifts, for us and the dog. Great location for a base to explore the area. Owner very helpful and responded immediately to questions. Getting in and out of the driveway was a bit tricky as right on the road on a corner and have to reverse in, but you can also park just passed it by the road, which is where we parked the car we took out each day with the other safely in the drive. Local area is lovely, ate in several local pubs and all staff were lovely and really helpful with good food.

  Great cottage. Very comfortable bed and sofas. Very spacious house, great kitchen. Fabulous garden which we really enjoyed and was almost completely dog proof (we just put a watering can in front of one of the gates to stop our smallest terrier slipping through to the next garden). Great walks all day long in every direction from the cottage. Lovely food rom the pub (they do take away too). No local shop for miles though so need own supplies (or pub take away!), the cottage owner kindly supplied tea/coffee, biscuits and a couple of cute little milk bottles. Thank you, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility.
