    "Sunset Cottage was everything we expected and more."

    From the moment we arrived, it felt incredibly homely and cosy – the perfect place to relax and unwind. Every detail had clearly been thought through, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel instantly at ease. The little extra welcome gifts were a lovely touch and really made the stay feel special. It’s those thoughtful gestures that set a place apart, and Sunset Cottage definitely delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

    "Superb cottage, everything was perfect."

    As for Sykes Cottages, I would never make another booking with you and, thanks to the joys of social media - I’ve speed the word. Don’t be shocked - what response do you suggest after removing £600 from my account without authorisation then refuse to discuss the matter with me as I was not the person who made the initial booking. Please don’t email me back, I’m too busy to accommodate idiots.

    Thank you Mr Rafferty so happy you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    "My wife booked the cottage for a long weekend for a birthday treat."

    We were warmly greeted and shown all the facilities. The cottage was tastefully appointed and very comfortable. We felt at home immdiately. At night it was so quiet and we slept like babes. We also had a meal brought in one night which was delicious, with no need to stagger home afterwards. The icing on the cake was the hot spa which we thoroughly appreciated and made good use of. All in all a superb weekend retreat.

    Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are so glad that you had a lovely time. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to offer home cooked meals. Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the hot tub and hope you had a lovely birthday treat. We do hope that you might make a return visit, sometime in the not too distant future. Property Owner
