What guests are saying

The cottage itself is in a beautiful peaceful location, very difficult to find, especially as there is a large tree in front view, so if you blink you miss it.

Sadly the upstairs toilet leaked, the downstairs toilet moves as you get off it, the boiler is leaking. There were 4 plates to accommodate 5 people. Also no WiFi, I had to use mobile data for the entire stay, as I don’t have unlimited I’m dreading my bill, I do feel there should be a complete review of all the listing this cottage provides. It was my birthday treat too, so non too pleased. As we struggled to find the cottage and no one would answer any messages to assist us, until the following day. A sad stay for my birthday

This cottage was booked for four people on the sykes website, yet only three towels were provided and no hand towels at all, we had to buy a towel next day.

The internet connection when available is slow and not always available. Outdoor areas overgrown and need tidying up. Adjacent open farm buildings are full of old junk that would be a hazard to children, typical of farmers, it is no place for children under 12 to be left unsupervised playing outside. The small bedroom has no light by the bed it is in he far corner as there is no power point anywhere else. We won't be staying again, only the cleaners seem to do things properly.
