“The owners left us a bottle of wine , a homemade cake, a bar of chocolate and milk in the fridge it was so thoughtful.”

“The cottage was so lovely, warm & cosy We had a fabulous stay there in beautiful surroundings!”

We particularly enjoyed the museum in Craven Arms called The Land of Lost Content well worth a visit if you want a reminder of days gone by!! The complimentary wine & delicious cake along with all the other basics were a lovely touch too!! We would definitely book to come again.

“The Old Cowshed was a lovely cottage, everything we hoped for, accept for one thing, very disappointed in the fact that if there are a lot of young adults staying in the adjoining cottage, " Turnip Cottage " who have no thought for other people, they were partying to 3 in the morning, which would cause me to never recommend this cottage to anyone, as i noticed from the visitor book, this was not the first time someone has experienced the same problem, so either the owners of the cottages or Sykes Holidays have taken no notice of the comments before and put a warning that this can happen.”

Ruined the weekend away for both my wife and myself. Such a shame because somebody has work hard to provide very good quality cottages. I have used Sykes Holiday Cottages many times to book cottages and have always been pleased with the cottages we have booked, but this was a real disappointment. Stephen. Pembrokeshire
