  • "We had a lovely stay here."

    The beds were mostly comfortable. Especially the bunk beds. The mattress in the front room was a bit too soft for me, but that is to do with my back and a personal thing. It felt very comfortable. Our grandsons loved the television, which was easy to control. The furniture is nice, though we did miss a dining table. The breakfast bar only offers space for two and there were four of us. There were tablets for the dishwasher, but no detergent for the washing machine. Some ideas for improvement: 1) a shelf by the top bunk bed. Our grandson had nowhere to leave his books/toys. There was also nowhere to put an alarm clock for him so he could tell the time. 2) some more hooks for towels in the bathroom? The towel rack is quite a long way from the shower cubicle and you end up dripping all over the floor when you try to grab a towel from there. Maybe a hook on the door might help. The hooks by the back door are quite close together and towels didn’t seem to dry there. The main area for improvement would be the cleaning. The cottage wasn’t as clean as it could have been. The bathroom and the kitchen were pretty clean, and they are, admittedly, the most important areas. The bedrooms and other places were very dusty and cobwebby, especially the back bedroom. The fan on the fireplace has a thick coating of dust. There was dust and there were cobwebs in most of the corners in the back bedroom, on the skirting boards and behind the bed. One of the bowls in the kitchen drawer had a layer of mould in it. It looks like it had been put away with food residue still in it. The toothbrush mug in the bathroom was also not very clean.

    Thank you for your feedback, we always appreciate valid constructive criticism. Noted in the hooks in the bathroom. There is a bath mat to put down that will collect any drips. The bathroom is on 1.5m so not too much of a big distance. There is also a drying rack supplied if you need to dry towels. This is more affective than the coat hooks and we would recommend this. The washing machine is supplied for guests, as a self catering cottage, it is for guests to supply their own detergent. The shelf for the top bunk bed is a great idea and we’ll look at this. We will pay extra attention to the areas you have highlighted that need an extra dust. The bowl sounds like a previous guest has put it away and a clean one on top of a dirty one. We’ll also do a double crockery check in future to ensure this doesn’t happen again. The toothbrush holder is black with a white marble pattern and I’m wondering if the has been mistaken for dirt as it is normally immaculate. We always try to keep a high standard of cleanliness and we will ensure the points listed have extra attention in the future. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Lovely place to stay and we did enjoy our stay very much."

    The only feedback I’d give at the rear of the property wasn’t mentioned either in the listing or the welcome pack. When we eventually realised we used the parking everyday. A welcome pack of some description would also have been very nice even if it was only a pint of milk. Defo would stay again I hasten to add X

  • "Had a lovely stay here for Christmas."

    Very cosy with the log burner going. The owner had made it very special for us by putting up a tree & some lovely decorations which we weren't expecting so that was a lovely surprise. We had a couple of queries which Annette the owner sorted immediately. The only problem we had was with the hob which we couldn't get to go but luckily we didn't need it as I used the microwave instead. Everything was beautifully clean & of high quality. We did have a couple of stumbles stepping down a level but once we got used to it we were fine. The welcome pack was nice touch too. All in all a lovely time was had. Thank you x

    Hi Tania, thank you for your lovely review. It’s much appreciated. Thanks for your feedback on the hob. The induction hob can take some getting used to. I struggled when I first used it, I’m use to gas, but it’s straight forward once you know how. I will put some instructions in the welcome pack to make it easy for future guests. You’re welcome on the Christmas decorations and we’re pleased you’ve had a great stay. Best Wishes Annette. Property Owner

  • "The property was exactly as described and as per the photos, it was spotlessly clean and very much like a home from home, we had everything we could need in the cupboards and drawers and despite the snow and storm Bert we where cosy and warm within."

    The views are incredible across the valley and we found some great walks nearby and pubs. Fabulous modernised little place have already recommended to friends and family.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so glad you had a nice time despite the storm. A cosy cottage is sometimes the best place to be when bad weather hits. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

    Hi Gemma, thanks for your feedback. We’re so glad you liked the cottage. The village is quiet and the local community pub is always welcoming, we like it there. We find it a great base for the surrounding area. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "Disappointing stay."

    The property was unexpectedly cold when we arrived. We were provided with a few pieces of damp wood to get started with the log burner, but it wasn’t enough to even get us through the first night. The house has heating, but the thermostat is kept in a locked box and you have to text the owner when you want it to be switched on. I felt uncomfortable having to ask someone on Whatsapp for the house to be warmed up. For the price I paid I just wanted to stay in a cottage where I could disconnect from being online and using technology for a week, so did not appreciate needing to use WhatsApp to ask to warm up the cold house. The cleaning products and hand soap were empty, which I was told would be addressed with the cleaner but I didn’t hear anything further. We bought our own cleaning products and found that the kitchen sides were dirty. The coat stand fell over when anything was hung up. It almost hit my dog and also narrowly missed hitting my partner in the head on both occasions that we hung something up on it. When communicating with the owner about my concerns above, she just referred to the positive reviews that had been left before and I would have appreciated if more was done to acknowledge my concerns and to rectify the points I had raised. 

    We’re sorry to see this review. The Hive heating is on a timer and is set to come on from 7am until 9am,and then again from 4.30pm until 10pm, the thermostat is set at 21 degrees for these periods. If the temperature drops below this, during these times, the heating will come on automatically. It states in the information folder, that If guests need it on longer, or throughout the day, they can message us and we are happy to adjust this, as we did for your stay when you requested. Our guests comfort is a top priority. Complimentary logs, kindling and fire lighters are provided for all guests, it’s down to guest to buy their own logs after these have been used. Logs can be purchased locally. All essentials are supplied, including tea, coffee, hand soap, washing up liquid and a sponge. After checking with the cleaner, these were supplied as standard and the soap had been refilled before you arrived. To say the place was not clean is very upsetting. We have a fantastic cleaner and the cottage was fully cleaned prior to your stay. Impeccable cleanliness is an essential standard we have at the cottage. All our other guests have rated cleanliness very highly, we find it hard to understand why it would be any different for your stay. We have not been made aware of any issues with coat stand previously and we have used it ourselves without it ever falling over. It is a modern coat stand and when checked after your stay, was absolutely fine. At the time of your stay, you were expecting a dishwasher to be installed at the cottage, which was incorrectly listed by Sykes. This was something we couldn’t resolve during your stay, and you were compensated. I understand this was too much of a problem for you, and has resulted in this negative review. Were please to say we do now have a dishwasher installed for guests. As stated at the beginning, we’re sorry to see this review. You’re the only guests who’ve stayed in the Cottage and have not been happy, with their stay. Property Owner
