“We booked the cottage for a 7 night vacation.”

...

The welcome pack was very good and the hot tub was excellent after a long day exploring the areas. We thought that the cottage was well stocked with facilities and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately we decided to come home a day early as the wife could not stand to be in the living area The rooms were very drab and need a good overhaul The furniture reminded the wife of a rundown care home and she was unsettled during our stay so much that she didn't want to return to the cottage at the end of the day The location is excellent and the views were very good it's just a shame that the cottage is shabby and run down as with a bit of tlc and attention it has potential

“We had a great time, the cottage is well placed to visit surrounding areas, beaches, restaurants etc.”

“The location of the cottage is beautiful, from the veranda we could look over the reservoir and the surrounding fields.”

There was very little traffic to spoil the peace and tranquillity of the property. The garden at the back was enclosed and suitable for dogs. The hot tub was an added bonus, as were the numerous games found in the cottage, we all played. The cottage was well kitted out with utensils and towels etc, the welcome hamper was lovely. Altogether it suited the six of us, grandparents, children, grandchildren and two dogs perfectly.

“A wonderful week at Orchard Cottage.”

Located off a quiet lane with the most superb views. Equipped with everything you need...and some! Weather wasn't soo great for our stay, but managed to get out and take a few walks with the dog. Owners couldn't of been more helpful...Thank you Team Orchard. 10/10.

“The pictures showed a sanua.”

But when we arrived the owners informed us that there was no such provision for a sanua. We have booked many times with sykes cottages and this is the first time that anything like this has happened, but it was a bit disappointing as we would have booked a different property that we were looking at. Its not the owners fault as they have said they asked for the pictures to be reviewed. Also the area around the hot tub has changed. (for the better I add) They have built a stucture around it now to keep the elements off.

“The place was amazing and the views we’re beautiful.”

However the carpet was filthy the hoover smelt like wet dog so couldn’t use. Everything else was spot on BUT we were hounded by wasps could use any of the facilities outside like hot tub, unless you were willing to keep bating the wasps away, dog got stung and cost is 150 as was bank holiday. So we were trapped inside for the whole week, couldn’t even open a window.. the owners couldMy do anything until after bank holiday and The wasp nest was removed the day before we left.. And no compensation was offered despite knowing how bad it was.. never ever again..

“The cottage was easy to find , down a narrow track, and is ideal for peace and quiet.”

The covered hot tub was great, once we got the hang of how to use it! The front over looks the resivoir and it was lovely to relax outside and look over the water. A security light by the grass area would be helpful. The outside area is fully dog proof. Wifi was a bit hit and miss. And there was no welcome hamper, which was a big hit with previous visitors, a sign of covid19? Ideal for a restful break and handy to visit the local attractions

Mrs Cox September 2019

“Owner of cottage was lovely, friendly but not overpowering.”

Left us a hamper which was full of local goodies and most appreciated! There is a lovely enclosed field at back of cottage which was brilliant for me as my dog is not usually let off the lead, she had a good run round and play with my friends dog and the back garden is dog proof too, so they could go out at any time without worry

“The surroundings the peace and tranquility.”

Comfortable beds the owner had thought of everything to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Such a lovely welcome pack of delicious local foods. He even enquired if we were both ok and happy with everything. Highly recommend Orchard cottage, ideal for touring, walking, or just relaxing.
