What guests are saying
Lovely property, beautifully furnished with a peaceful location in a rural setting.
Not that we are hikers, but the side entrance opens into a large tiled floor utility room which would be ideal ‘undressing’ territory after long muddy walks. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms provides options (all on top floor), and two living areas downstairs means the family doesn’t have to be on top of each other. Would book the property again if we are heading that way again. Also, a short drive from Jodrell Bank which is worth a visit.
We enjoyed 5 nights at the property, on arrival we had to clear ice and snow to get up the drive, but once inside it was warm and welcoming.
Spacious rooms accommodated four generations comfortably. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals and has plenty of storage. An enormous boot room was great for the dog and storing outdoor clothing. Lots of local walks, plenty of pubs and restaurants in the area. The house has great views, is peaceful and relaxing. The nearest shop is a local garage ( supermarkets in Alderley Edge and Macclesfield), would advise taking supplies. If using a supermarket grocery delivery ensure the driver uses the drive directly off Birtles Lane near the church, then middle drive up to the property and if possible leave plenty of room in the parking area.
The property was surprisingly a little larger than expected from phtos.
There were damaged items on arrival and would advise to check everything in property and report. Log & photograph every item on arrival or you will be wrongly charged for items, and extra cleaning . Advised to get detailed cleaning policy from both the owners guide at property and Sykes policy of cleaning as even though followed there are problems after departure. Report everything immediately or you will be invoiced and charged for pre existing damage so make sure you have your own photo evidence as soon as you arrive as you will need this after your departure. The property was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival with old veg left in the pantry, full wheelie bins, very minimal cleaning products in kitchen,dead spiders in the bathroom, black hair on the bedroom carpet from previous stay. Cobwebs throughout property and floors dirty and childrens sock were filthy when they went to bed the first nght. You are expected to put the wheelie bins out on collection day down the long sloping drive to be collected and you will not have any room in the bins due to the previous stay filling them and the bin collection the day before you leave. This is supposed to be a dog friendly property so we were leniant over some aspects of the property but dont be as you will have allegations of cleaning after you leave even when you have been very respectful of the property.So you must inspect everything and report immediately. Very disappointing and stressful correspondence after our stay, terrible customer care with no help to us just very sided with owner and property definately not checked by Sykes .
