Thanks for sharing your house on Sykes we felt very relaxed there and enjoyed the fabulous scenery.

Would welcome some tools left for the fire so we could have cleaned it off after a fire the previous evening. Beyond that a lovely family stay and we would definitely go back

A very comfortable house with plenty of space in good sized rooms.

Could do with a lick of paint here and there but that's incidental. Clean. Plenty of hot running water. It's a farm so take long trousers and proper walking shoes if walking on the land. Good communication with the owner All in all very good. Thanks
