  • "This is a lovely cottage in Sible Hedingham in rural Essex."

    It has a big garden as well. The village is also very nice, with a castle and an old steam railway to visit. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, with some great tips. We did some day trips to Cambridge, London and Colchester Zoo. We had a great holiday here! (2 adults and a 6-year old child)

  • "Amazing cottage, surroundings and owners."

    Nothing was too much trouble. We had 15 people over for a buffet for our nans 89th bday which was no issue with owner. Only thing I would say is little touches. Needs some throws in lounge for the evenings, patios doors stick, but minor things and certainly didn't deter us coming back. We had a big enough space for our German Shepard and deer visited the gdn too. Will def be back

  • "Rookwoods is a very quiet and peaceful property, a (very nicely) converted stable behind a grand house in Sible Hedingham."

    Sible Hedingham has a petrol station, Co-op, and several good takeaways (chippy, Indian, Chinese). The walled garden behind the cottage is full of birdlife and is ALMOST dog-secure (a determined terrier can get through the bird netting under the five-bar gate). The main bedroom with ensuite and zip-link beds is very comfortable; however the property is really only suitable for couples as to get from the upstairs twin bedroom to the bathroom you have to come downstairs, across the living/dining/kitchen to the other end of the downstairs. Also, the property only has a two-ring hob and limited cooking utensils pans/bowls etc, not good for four adults who like to cook. The furnishings though are very comfortable and stylish. Since Covid we are used to not getting a welcome pack; however some tea/coffee/sugar to make a drink on arrival would have been nice (its not far to the Coop though), and note there are no kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, herbs, oil) supplied. Overall, very comfortable for a couple, but make sure to take all your own consumables.

  • "The Cottage was beautiful, it was very well presented, peaceful and lovely."

    We loved the quiet, the bird song and the log fire. The owner was lovely too - very sweet and friendly. Main ensuite bedroom is gorgeous. The pictures advertised though are a little misleading as the pictures of the property showed a sofa and 2 leather chairs in the lounge- which I wanted as my mother is 93 and needs a firmer chair to get up from but when we arrived there were 2 well used sofas instead...which for mum were hard to get up from as they have obviously seen a lot of bottoms in their day.;-) Apart from that- have no complaints at all...we loved our stay.

  • "Our first day of a five day stay was completely ruined as the log fire did not work, there wasn't heating in the main bedroom and the WiFi wasn't working!"

    Worse still, the owner, refused to take phone was eventually calls and would only text which was very inconvenient and inhospitable. To my shock, I found out the next day that she was holidaying in South Africa and had not even bothered to delegate hosting to her housekeeper/someone else in her absence! As a result, we tried calling and texting at 6.30pm on Day 1, but did not get any 'help' until 8.30am the next morning (a very brief and unhelpful text message from an owner too busy holidaying to worry about our plight). By this time, my vulnerable, heavily pregnant wife, who suffers from sinus issues and is used to very warm rooms, had to sleep in a cold room we weren't able to enjoy even the basic amenity of Wifi and watching a movie on Netflix. We would have been 100X better off staying home!!! When we text back to explain she hadn't solved the problems, she took another 4 hours to reply! The housekeeper, eventually arrived in the afternoon of Day 2. She couldn't solve the kindling issue. It was only after we rang around friends to get ideas and suggested getting firelighter cubes that we were able to finally get the fire going at 3pm. Housekeeper was brilliant. She would answer the phone and respond to messages within minutes. She fixed the Wifi, got us an electric heater for the bedroom, etc. She was the hostess the owner should have been and salvaged the rest of our stay. Naturally we demanded a refund for our completely wasted and stressful first day and night when the owner was not available and was not able to solve our problems until well into Day 2.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you experienced Wi-Fi and maintenance issues during your stay at the cottage.We want you to have all advertised facilities on our website and we strive on having exceptional property standards in all Sykes properties.Our owners are allowed to take holidays and we at the Sykes office are available 24/7. On this occasion the housekeeper did attend on the first day but could not get a response so your issue could have been rectified sooner. From our records we can see everything was resolved by 1.30pm on the 29th December. Property Owner

The main bedroom being particularly comfortable and attractive, with high ceilings and lovely furnishings.

    The downstairs bedroom and both bathrooms were of a good standard. Our only criticisms are 1. the kitchen area and appliances - they were old and tired, 2. There’s insufficient clothes storage facilities for the downstairs bedroom. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and Sible Hedingham is a good base from which to explore the area.

  • "This cottage is ideal as it has a fully enclosed garden for the dog."

    Like many holiday cottages, for those who want to spend their evenings in the cottage we were limited. Everyone is used to a Smart TV these days and even a DVD player might have helped. Another usual for holiday cottages is the quality of the seating indoors which was well worn. The biggest disappointment was, in the glorious weather we had nowhere comfortable to sit outdoors. Even two proper deckchairs would have been better than the two old wooden chairs and no umbrella to sit under. Otherwise I would recommend the cottage.

  • "Pictures on web site seem to be old ones as no armchairs, would have preferred these instead of uncomfortable sofa."

    Better seating for the decking would also be a good idea instead of a couple of old chairs along with an umbrella for shade. However a very relaxing place to stay, bed very comfortable. All facilities other than above more than adequate. Lovely walks by river and in the woodland nearby. Garden great for our dog. Only downside about are is that Sible Hedingham is some what run down no matter how Sykes website big it up. Would definitely stay at cottage again.

  • "We had a 3 night stay at Rockwoods to attend a family wedding, the property was perfect for what we needed and we had a really enjoyable stay."

    The owners were also helpful and welcoming. The cottage has some lovely quirky features and the underfloor heating was a bonus, all in all the cottage was very comfortable, however, the property would benefit from some upgrading and TLC, especially to the rear decking and definitely some new garden furniture. A modern smart tv would also be a good improvement for little cost. As a family we didn't find much going on in the immediate area and Sible Hedingham itself is quite run down. However, staying at Rookwoods, you don't need to worry too much about that as the beautiful sunny rear enclosed garden is large and spacious and was great for letting our dog run freely. Having mentioned some honest negatives, this would definitely not put us off staying again as there are much more positives with regard to this little hidden gem.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Rookwoods, however there were a few things that we feel need mentioning."

    It wasn’t made clear in the description that there was no bathroom or toilet on the upper floor and therefore two members of our party were unable to come along. Also I’m disabled and there was no mention of the two, quite large internal steps to access the downstairs bedroom and also the step up to the downstairs shower room. Had these items been mentioned in the cottage listing we wouldn’t have booked it. We also feel that the en-suite in the double bedroom could benefit from a blind or curtain. As I said at the beginning we enjoyed our week at Rookwoods and what I mention is in no way a criticism more an observation which may help other holidaymakers.
