  • "We had a wonderful stay."

    A super welcome pack Everything we could want or need during our stay was available. The thoughtful touches and the lovely flowers. Tastefully decorated in keeping with the property. Beautiful location to get away from it all and relax. By far the best cottage we have stayed in.

  • "The Borrowers is a wonderful property and Vikki an amazing host."

    The description and photos do not do it justice. Spacious, comfortable and with everything you could possibly need and more. When we arrived there was so much food in the fridge and cupboards we had no need to shop for a day or so. Fresh flowers were on the table and Vikki welcomed us and told us to let her know if there was anything we needed. A wonderful relaxing holiday in a peaceful location. The wi-fi and phone signal are a little variable, but I managed a GP phone appointment without a problem. Definitely our best ever Sykes cottage!
