Very welcoming owners with a nice touch of complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Very dog friendly. Really comfortable bed and very quiet for a good night's sleep. Overall hard to find faults.

Heron Cottage was idealic. We are a family of 4 and had ample room, it was well equipped, we had everything we needed and more, very clean and comfortable. The owners were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome and at ease. I would highly recommend this cottage and we will definately be back again. Thank you to the owners from the Morgan Family and Finn the dog xx

The owners of the cottage were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage was very clean. It was very well equipped with all the usual kitchen utensils, cupboard and wardrobe space, even a hairdryer and a welcoming bottle of wine. Beds were comfortable and car parking was right outside of the cottage. All in all we had a great holiday - nothing to fault. WELL DONE TO THE OWNERS.

There is no way that it could comfortably accommodate four people, as claimed in the listing. There were only two of us and we still tripped over each other. The only door to the living area gave you a nasty clout if you happened to be in the tiny kitchen, making tea or even worse, kneeling to get something from the fridge. (You open the fridge door and the living room door simultaneously at your peril!) This cottage would be wholly unsuitable for the frail or elderly as the only loo is downstairs and the bedroom is upstairs, so if you needed to use the bathroom during the night, it would be tricky. The Sykes description states "a lovely fitted kitchen with many modern appliances". There was a small fridge, no freezer, no dishwasher, no washing machine and an electric cooker that had clearly seen better days. It was peaceful only if you didn't mind barking dogs and people walking backwards and forwards outside. I accept that I booked this cottage in haste and did not examine the description as I normally do, but I do feel it is misrepresented and certainly doesn't deserve the three ticks Sykes have given it. As for "cosy" - claustrophobic would be more accurate. Sorry but I did not enjoy staying here. I have used Sykes cottages several times and this is the first time I have been disappointed.

The kitchen area was extremely well-equipped and tea towels were provided, yet we had an email from Sykes saying that we had to bring our own. Also, there was a hairdryer, which wasn't mentioned, and this would have saved bringing our own. We received a very warm welcome from Jane, the owner. The gardens around the site, which is nicely secluded, were very attractive and the location is excellent for exploring many places of interest, most of which are only about 20 minutes drive away. It was unseasonably cold weather during our stay, but the cottage was well heated and cosy. Complementary use of secure wi-fi was also appreciated.
