Price Match Guarantee

If you find a cheaper price anywhere online, we’ll refund you the difference.

Price Match Guarantee

If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.

Conditions:

The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.

The other offer is cheaper than your Sykes’ booking when you ignore all optional extras on both and all vouchers, discount codes, gift cards, loyalty, reward or other type of membership or repeat business schemes and any generic promotion on the other offer.

Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.

This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.

How to claim:

Send the evidence we’ve asked for above to pricematch@sykescottages.co.uk along with your booking reference.

We’ll check if it qualifies for our Price Match Guarantee.

If it does, we will pay you the relevant difference within 14 days. That’s it!

The property

Clare's Cottage is a fantastic pet-friendly cottage in the quaint village of Harrold, Bedfordshire.

This property is perfect for family or friends as it boasts original beams, a woodburning stove in an original inglenook fireplace and has Velux windows.

Tucked away in the heart of the village, this beautiful 300-year-old cottage effortlessly blends historic charm with modern touches, offering a truly memorable retreat for families, friends, and their four-legged companions.

Step through the door and you’re immediately surrounded by character, original beams run through every room, while the large inglenook fireplace with its woodburning stove forms the heart of the home, creating a welcoming spot to gather after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.

The sitting room, complete with a sofa and two armchairs, exudes timeless appeal, with warm tones and the crackle of the fire setting the perfect scene for chilled evenings in.

Beyond, a snug area with an armchair and piano offers a peaceful corner for reading or enjoying a quiet moment away from the main living space.

The adjoining dining room provides an inviting place to share meals, its charm enhanced by the exposed beams and homely atmosphere.

The kitchen is both traditional and well-equipped, featuring an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and a coffee maker, everything you need to prepare anything from a hearty breakfast to a comforting supper.

Upstairs, the character continues through the three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms: a double and a twin on the second floor, both with Velux windows that flood the rooms with natural light, and another double on the first floor, each space full of charm thanks to its exposed timbers and calming décor.

A family bathroom with a bath and handheld shower, plus an additional cloakroom, ensures convenience for all when getting ready in the morning.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a lovely setting to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink, complete with a lawn and furniture for outdoor dining.

When you head out, you’ll find plenty to explore in this charming village setting.

Begin right on your doorstep at Harrold Country Park, a beautiful expanse of lakes, meadows, and woodland trails ideal for peaceful walks, picnics, and spotting local wildlife.

In the village itself, enjoy the welcoming atmosphere with a choice of two traditional pubs, a handy village shop, and local favourites including an Indian restaurant and a classic fish and chip takeaway.

Further afield, the vibrant town of Olney offers boutique shops, cafés, and a traditional market square steeped in character.

In Milton Keynes, uncover fascinating history at Bletchley Park, the world-renowned codebreaking centre, or explore Willen Lake, where water sports, open trails, and scenic spots await.

The open-air Milton Keynes Museum brings the past to life with interactive exhibits and vintage displays, while nearby Northampton offers architectural gems such as 78 Derngate, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and the tranquil parkland surrounding Delapré Abbey.

Motorsport enthusiasts can also experience the thrill of Silverstone Circuit, a legendary destination for race fans and an exciting day out for all ages.

With shops and a welcoming pub right on the doorstep, Clare's Cottage is perfectly placed for those seeking a peaceful getaway.

EPC Rating: Band E
