"The 'Welcome' note from Jeff & Jane told us that not only were we the first to book The Moorings (July 2023) but we are also the first to return for a second stay."
If the need to be in the area occurs again, we will hope to be the first to return for a thrid stay. The location is excellent and the garden is very secure for our dog. We were very comfortable at The Moorings; the kitchen has everything that you might want. We have stayed in six Sykes Cottages in the last year; this is the first to which we have returned.

"This was a lovely cottage, well equipped and with a beautiful setting alongside the canal."
The garden is well fenced so young children and dogs can safely play in the garden. To have access to a number of walks straight from the front door was a bonus.
Many thanks for taking time to review The Moorings and your excellent feedback . The cottage is perfect for walking being on the canal tow path, Trans Pennine Trail, and with surrounding wetlands and nature reserves also to explore (no dog restricted areas ).

"Nice cottage."
Lovely location.
A little over restrictive in that dogs were not allowed upstairs.
To that end, a stair gate would have been useful as dogs have a habit of following their owners during the day, even if they are caged at night.
And for the life of me I, nor any of our family group, could work out how to lower the temperature of the shower!
Otherwise, delightful
Many thanks for taking time to review The Moorings and your feedback :) Up to 3 Dogs can stay free of charge at The Moorings ♥. We kindly request no pets in bedroom areas for obvious reasons, as do most holiday homes. Being dog friendly, well behaved dogs can roam freely downstairs, day and night :) To clarify for others, crating / caging is at guests discretion & is not provided. Thankyou for your suggestion regarding a dog stairgate. However the stairs / hall is closed off from downstairs living areas with a door. Therefore it is unclear to us, as experienced dog owners, why a stairgate would be required when the door can be closed to the same effect. we will include shower instructions in the info pack. Thank you.

"Great home, clean, warm and cosy rooms, bed linnen and towels top!"
Generous welcome food package to help us over the first day was also greatly appreciated, big thank you! To the hosts for making giving us such a warm welcome! Kitchen is extremely well equipped.
We would have also spent some time in the garden if temperatures had allowed.
Just some recommendations:
- would be great if there was a hairdryer, too.
- the settees could do with changing, they are extremely low and difficult to get up from
- ample space for us as a couple, but we wonder how 8 people should fit into the Kitchen/front room?
All in all, a wonderful place for a relaxing stay for up to 4 people, traveling by car.
Many thanks for taking time to review 'The Moorings' and lovely feedback:). We are extremely guest focused and greatly care about our guest experience at 'The Moorings' :)
With regards to your recommendations:
A hairdryer is not provided, except by request, for electrical safety and personal hygiene reasons.
Two, 'three person' settees of modern design and 'two high seat' wing back chairs on castors, (8 seats) in the lounge cater for a variety of guests. Guests often come in larger party's (4+), please see previous feedback.
The Moorings is 2.6 miles from the city center, which has 2 main line railway stations and taxi ranks.
