Warm, homely, clean, comfortable and amazingly peaceful cottage.

Well equipped, decent WiFi, fantastic location. Easy to find. Front garden and rear courtyard great on a sunny day. Friendly local pub 10 minutes walk, with Aladdins cave shop attached to the pub. If you like great walks from the doorstep, and peace and quiet, this is the perfect location.

The best Sykes cottage I have booked yet!

The location is amazing and just what we needed to escape for a bit from our busy lives. Great location right at the foot of the Stiperstones nature reserve, with a very steep albeit beautiful walk up into the mountains. The cottage is cosy and mostly well maintained. There seems to be a damp issue in the downstairs bedroom but somewhat expected due to the age and location of the property. Everything was far away, the shops and anything we wanted to do with the kids. A lot of driving was needed but it was worth it for the peaceful and remote location.

A lovely cottage and a great location.

Stiperstones has a good pub and a handy shop. Just a 10 minute walk. The cottage has a lovely rural feel and is set in a nature reserve, loads of birdlife. The walks on the doorstep are great. Good location, though most attractions are 40 minutes away at least.
