“The cottage is in an idyllic location in the centre of the village backing on to the church.”

Lovely walks from the door, although some paths are indistinct in places and a map of the area is essential. The accommodation was comfortable in particular the bed, but the sofa and easy chair less so. Also, my tip would be to take your own towels, as those provided were so old they were like sandpaper! However, overall the cottage represented very good value for money and would recommend.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We have replaced the towels with the new one. Sykes owner relations

“Very nice cottage in a beautiful area with very helpful but unobtrusive owners on hand if needed.”
Mr Thompson July 2018

“We had a lovely holiday at chimney Cottage it was everything and more than what we were expecting.”

The owners were discrete but always willing to help if needed. Cottage in a very quiet village which we loved and so close to the lovely countryside and quaint villages to visit. Can't wait to return next year.
Mrs Griffith July 2018

“The kitchen is superbly equipped and everything needed was available.”

The provisions on arrival were very much appreciated and the hosts are available next door but not intrusive. It is a lovely setting with the ancient church providing extra interest. The car can be parked immediately adjacent to the cottage and because of the gates feels very secure. With it being a very hot period when we visited the coolness and solid walls of the cottage were a bonus and there are plenty of windows and a side door to let in the air. The stairs are a little awkward and that is why I have not given comfort the highest score

“Wow. Everything I would want from a Cottage Holiday!”

First time I have booked through Sykes. Trish and Robert were perfect hosts, REALLY welcoming, with scones and fresh eggs left as a greeting. The cottage is perfectly situated to combine being in a quiet tranquil spot, with a location close enough to visit LOTS of interesting places. Bonus if having a beautiful country pub 2 minutes walk. I would highly recommend it!!

“Chimney Cottage is clean and very comfortable and has all the facilities we need.”

The extra special plus is its delightful and sheltered garden where we were able to make the most of the glorious weather last week. Having said that, miserable weather would have driven us into a comforting and comfortable indoors and we would not have felt hard done by. Lingen is situated in the most beautiful countryside and each walk offers a variety of scenery. The bluebells in the wood were spectacular. Best recommendation of all is that we have already booked to return next year (for the third time).

“Our second stay at Chimney Cottage.”

In the week leading up to our stay, we had the heaviest snowfall -"the beast from the east" which delayed the start of our holiday. However Trish and Robert kept us fully informed of the weather and travel situation. When we eventually arrived the cottage was warm and welcoming. A welcome pack of fresh, home made scones, milk, free range eggs, jam , tea, coffee etc was waiting for us. A warm, cosy cottage, a comfortable bed and a pub less than 5 mins walk, serving delicious food. The owners had even left a towel for the dogs. Would definitely recommend.

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting the owners were helpful but not intrusive would highly recommend a holiday.”
Mrs Scott October 2017

“We wanted a place to relax and that is what we got.”

Expected cottage to be small and pokey, but were pleasantly surprised by how spacious, well equipped and comfortable it was - even having Wi-Fi. Perfect for dog owner.

“Had a wonderful week trich and Robert helpful we will be back next year many thanks”

“This is a great cottage, friendly yet unobtrusive owners.”

we had a wonderfully relaxing holiday that ended all too quickly!

“Best pet friendly cottage we have stayed at.”

This cottage has everything you need to make a stay comfortable and enjoyable. It is very well equipped, has a very secure garden for our dog and is surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. The local pub, The Royal George, serves good quality pub food and is so friendly and welcoming to all. The owners of the cottage live in the attached property, they are welcoming and friendly but not intrusive in anyway. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather during our stay and the private garden was perfect to relax in and a great place to watch the bird life. The surrounding villages and towns are all very interesting and well worth a visit but it is very tempting to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the cottage and the village of Lingen.
Mr Wedgbury June 2017

“This was possibly the best Sykes Cottage we have stayed in.”

Lovely garden, owners were very hospitable but not intrusive and would definitely like to visit again .

“A lovely cottage in a very unspoilt countryside”

We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every minute despite rain in the first half. Such a beautiful quiet area with loads of walks both from the cottage and a little further afield. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and extremely well equipped. We particularly liked the luxurious bathroom with a huge bath in addition to the roomy shower enclosure. Lovely enclosed garden just right for our elderly dog. The pub literally 2 minutes walk away is a (dog) friendly place serving good pub food.
Mr Pover April 2017

“Great hosts.”

Beautiful quaint cottage with bags of character.Lingen is a gem in stunning countryside. Although only one bedroomed it is surprisingly spacious .This is our 5th stay in this cottage.
Chris L July 2015

“Lovely,comfortable cottage”

We had a great week's stay at this beautiful, clean, comfortable cottage. It was an ideal place to stay with our springer spaniel who loved the enclosed garden and the lovely walks we did. The local pub was only one minute's walk away and we experienced a warm welcome whenever we went there. The food was typical pub fare but it tasted fantastic especially the gammon and home made chicken pie. The owners were very helpful and not intrusive. The welcoming eggs, milk and sponge were much appreciated. We know everybody has different tastes and needs but we would not hesitate to recommend this property especially if you have a dog. Ours was welcomed more or less wherever we went although she is a rescue with some issues and can be nervous of strangers. The area was very quiet and we liked watching the sparrows and house martins that were nesting under the eaves.

“Dog-o-licious”

What more could a dog wish for? Great garden, great walks, great local pub, somewhere to rest my weary head and happy parents! Everything was perfect, from the relaxed, warm welcome from the cottage owners, to the privacy of the cottage, even though it was cheek 'n' jowl to their home. Everything had been laid on for our comfort and even though it is just a one bedroomed cottage, it is roomy and very well equipped. Lots and lots to see within 20 minutes drive of the village and really good walking on our doorstep, including that vital 'last thing at night' walk around the mote and bailey that was within yards of our door. Quick tip - the most wonderful farmers market on the first Saturday of the month in Presteigne!

“Fantastic, superb, Lovely & wonderful!”

Very tempting to write a poor review so there is more availability next time we want to book! However, we've already booked our next stay and a poor review would be very unfair on Robert & Trish and all of you who are yet to discover this amazing Gem. The accommodation was superb. Clean, tidy, well appointed and very spacious. Has only one bedroom but that is large & so is downstairs and the bathroom, not the poky accommodation that sometimes accompanies a one bed cottage. Plenty of room for us and our dog Neo. It truly is a lovely cottage, the owners are very helpful and always available for questions but not intrusive at all. The local pub and the locals are absolutely great and very friendly. We want to move there! The pub, the Royal George is about 100 yards away & is probably the best local in the whole area, with good pub grub, although many others are worth a visit. we spent days out in Ludlow (gorgeous) and the nearest town is Presteigne which is sweet. Cannot recommend highly enough. Absolutely no mobile phone signal but some, including my wife. regard that as a bonus! WiFi, supposedly slow but we had absolutely no problem. Interesting walks from the door step, beautiful countryside & a great pub & friendly locals.......who could wish for more?!!

“Absolutely perfect in every way!”

I will be honest, we booked this cottage on Sykes Cottages as it was the cheapest of all the cottages with 4 ticks that accepted dogs and how glad we did! The cottage was absolutely ideal, with a private garden for Flynn where we often had breakfast or lunch/dinner. There was a brilliant pub, The Royal George, literally a stone's throw from the cottage where you could have a very good meal and the locals were very friendly. There were some great walks right on the doorstep, which was a bonus since you don't always want to drive somewhere. As for the area, wow! We hadn't been to the Herefordshire/Powys border before but it is stunningly beautiful with fabulous towns and villages in abundance. Visit Hay on Wye, Ludlow and Hereford and many more places for great days out. The cottage is attached to the owners' cottage but don't let this prevent you from booking Chimney Cottage, Trish and Robert were really lovely people, always discrete but available if required. We had a fabulous 2 weeks with, thankfully, wonderful weather. Highly recommended! [Only downside, no washing machine but this was because we were the first to book a fortnight and we were offered the use of Trish & Robert's if we needed.]

“Spacious and comfortable”

A beautiful spacious cottage. Dog friendly with enclosed garden. Lovely walks and interesting towns and villages nearby. An unspoiled part of the country to enjoy and explore.

“Beautiful spacious country cottage with lovely surroundings”

We have just returned from a weeks stay at chimney cottage and what a beautiful place it is, we nearly didn't choose the cottage as it said it was attached to the owners home, however I am so glad we did once there it feels detached and neither the owners home or the cottage really impact on each other it's more like you are neighbours, there is a lovely self contained garden which was great for our 7 month old puppy, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and home from home as possible. There is a local pub 100yds away that does lovely food and welcomes dogs, the locals are very friendly too. It is a lovely village with lots of walks and lots of surrounding areas to visit, we would highly recommend this cottage for a get away from it all break
