“My husband and I ( both oap's 70 and 87) booked this accommodation 'Commonside' 3/8/20 to 7/8/20 described as a cottage by Sykes Cottages online.”
I would call it a small bungalow rather than a cottage, as it sits on a new housing estate. The bungalow itself was clean and in a quiet area, but its was outside of the main town and shopping area. We found the bedroom claustrophobic the description of bedroom had said ceiling on one side is low, but I'm only 5ft and I kept bumping my head each time I got in and out of bed. Sykes, online said shops 5mins and pub 2mins away from bungalow, that's only correct if your a young fit person or you go by car - if your oap's like my husband and I and not very good on your legs it takes approximately 10mins at least to pub (which is a British Legions club) and 15mins at least to a Tesco store. As the law stands your not suppose to drink and drive meant we would have too struggle walking there and back and coming back along a dark quiet road - no thank you! We booked this accommodation taking as it was written that pub was only 2mins away then we could have strolled to pub for our evening meal and a drink. We have used Sykes Cottages before, but on this occasions we are very disappointed especially with the online information given. It ended up us coming home a day early from our holiday break, because we felt let down by description given online by Sykes Cottages.
