Also the oven is complicated and there is no instructions in the book, I did message the owner and he replied with a link to youtube with information but I think there should be some easy to use typed instructions in the welcome book. One evening took 20 minutes to work out grill to make a quick cheese on toast. I do know cookers don’t do instructions books anymore but it did frustrate me trying to work out the oven . The hot tub was fantastic and my family now want to buy one ! It would also be beneficial to have a mat inside the property to use when using hot tub in winter, when we rushed back in the get dry, we had to use 2 of the white towels to stand on to get dry and we left these filthy. This is only feedback and we would still recommend and visit the property again .

“My friends and I were very disappointed with this cottage.”

The two ‘single’ beds are actually about half the width and 70% of the length of single beds, so were not fit for adults. There was a lack of basic kitchen equipment (not enough glasses and mugs for all 6 of us, only one big pan and the rest were tiny, no serving spoons etc). There was no heating or hot water in the morning, and when we tried to contact the owner his phone was switched off for the first hour and then it took a while for someone to come and change the gas so none of us could shower.
Mrs Clow October 2019

“Apart from the central heating not coming on automatically everything was great just used electric heaters provided.”

and no cold water to kitchen tap. Cottage well presented and even a surprise welcome pack! Nice quiet location. Will be back in the future.

Sycamore cottage was nice clean and comfortable however Wi-fi was provided from the cottage next door by a wi-fi booster and it would not power any of the smart tvs witch was one of the selling points
Mrs Foster July 2019

“Great cottage in good location.”

Lacks a dishwasher and instruction manuals on how to use anything. Bins overflowing which attracted more flies. (Was promised they’d be emptied and weren’t) Hot tub requires some attention - 2 of us left with ear infections. No welcome pack as noted by other guests. We were left key in door and had to get on with it

“Great cottage,would go back”
Mr Muldoon March 2019

“The cottage was well presented and in first class order.”

If you are looking for a quiet place to stay then this will suit you fine, also if you are looking for quick access to the pleasures of Blackpool then you are within a short drive. The hot tub is a real bonus and we used it well. The owner Steve was on hand to deal with any issues and we were held up on our journey but still he was there to greet us and show us round. There are plenty of places to visit and eat in the surrounding area. Great place to stay and we will certainly be letting people know all about this little gem and will plan a return visit in the future. Robert Muldoon.

“Sycamore cottage was a lovely, well equipped and was situated in an ideal location where I could reach Blackpool or even The Lakes further up north and also heading the other way towards Liverpool, all within reasonable distance.”

All the facilities and amenities for e.g. were in fine working order and I was very thankful to the owner for providing a welcome pack including a bottle of wine. For me there were only a couple of minor negatives where the place needed a more thorough hoovering/cleaning and the toilet seat was slightly loose. The central heating was also at best unreliable.These were are of course surmountable little niggles which can easily be rectified. Otherwise, a very enjoyable overall stay.
Ms Bell February 2019

“We have just returned from a fantastic few days staying in Cedar Cottage.”

It was immaculately clean, with everything you needed there to enjoy a relaxing break - the welcome hamper of treats on arrival was a lovely surprise.
Mr Dillon December 2018

“Great place, only problem was trying to work out how the heating worked, apart from that amazing cottage”

Lovely cottage and a nice location however the owner was having some building work done and the builders kept blocking the entrance most of them moved there van reluctantly and one refused to move his van and gave me a mouthful of abuse which I thought was inappropriate as I had paid for a quiet break

“The Hot Tub is awesome to end your day!”
Mrs Keeping July 2018

“We were called on the Wednesday before we were due to start our holiday explaining that the accommodation wasn't ready as they had a problem with the electrics, you were unable to find us any accommodation near to the property, we were then offered £300 towards us staying else where.”

We had explained our situation with regards to my son having autism and that we need to prepare him when we are going away. We ended up accepting the offer and made our own arrangements for the two nights. we were promised that the funds would in our account first thing on Friday morning so we could pay for our accommodation, this didn't happen. On our journey we received a call from one of your representatives asking us if we were on our way to Sycamore cottage we explained that we had been told we couldn't do that, when we arrived at our alternative accommodation we found that the funds hadn't come through so once again I had to call your office to ask why this hadn't been done. The next morning we received a message asking us about our first night at Sycamore cottage again rubbing salt in the wound. When we finally arrived at Sycamore cottage on the sunday the cottage was lovely but written in the guest book was a message from the people that had stayed in the cottage that weekend, so we had been told LIES the electrics were not broken, we booked this accommodation at the beginning of the year and we are very upset that we have been treated this way. Also I text the owner as on the accommodation details it was said to have a dvd, bluray, with blurays to watch here was no bluray at all and the dvd didn't have lead from the player to the tv he said that he would have someone drop one off this didn't happen. I have never experienced anything like this before and I expect better to lie to a customer I feel is unforgiveable and if the owner thinks by refunding £300 makes a difference it doesn't as he spoiled our holiday. To be honest I think he should offer a full refund for lying to us I will be emailing Sykes Customer services separately as I feel they should see the photo of the guest book.

“Sycamore cottage is in the peaceful village of Stalmine but so close to Poulton, Cleveleys, Blackpool & on route to Lancaster making it an ideal setting for a holiday in the area.”

The cottage is set down a drive with 2 other similar cottages surrounded by fields with horses & alpacas. It is extremely well appointed & finished to a very high standard. The hot tub is a bonus. Everything you could need for your stay (we were there for 3 weeks) is supplied. Steve the owner even leaves a welcome basket of basics plus wine & sweets. The only thing you need to bring is your food & suitcase. With having a baby with us the excellent washer dryer was very welcome. There are games, books, dvds also provided. We also had use of a cot & highchair. The owner is very obliging & was available if needed to answer any queries etc. I would have no qualms about staying here again & would definitely recommend stopping at this cottage. A lovely, restful 3 weeks for myself & family from Sydney.

“It was well out of the way in a lovely part of Lancashire,we had a very relaxing time at the property.”

About the location

POULTON-LE-FYLDE

Blackpool 9 miles; Morecambe 18 miles; Lancaster 22 miles.

The historic market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, within the Wyre Borough of Lancashire, is a charming place full of cobbled streets, unusual shops and ancient sights. Tour the town and its scenic surrounds on the three-mile long Poulton-le-Fylde Historic Trail, which sets off from River Wyre Hotel, a 19th century pub close to Skippool Creek, where smuggling was once rife. From here you wander past salad-growing fields and quaint cottages until you get to St Chad’s Church. In springtime the churchyard becomes a riot of colour thanks to carpets of purple, yellow and white crocuses. Traditionally agriculture was the main industry in the countryside surrounding Poulton-le-Fylde and records show that a market has been held in Market Square since at least 1348. This tradition continues to this day, with a farmers' market held every fourth Saturday. Poulton-le-Fylde has something to suit all tastes; visit Old Holly Farm and the Braedens Pony Trekking Centre, which make for great family days out. The Trough of Bowland is nearby, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the many varied delights of Blackpool and Morecambe, as well as the towns of Fleetwood, Cleveleys, Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal and Windermere and the stunning Lake District National Park are all within easy reach, making this a great destination for everyone.
