  • "Yet another lovely break so peaceful."

    My only complaint is that we had to leave after the seven days

  • "We had a lovely weekend despite a family crisis at home prior to our arrival."

    Michaela introduced herself and promptly fixed the broken gate left by a previous guest. The cabin was fabulous and along with the hot tub provided a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Our dogs also enjoyed the experience and loved running around the field and surrounding grounds. It was lovely to know they could enjoy and we knew they were safely enclosed. We will be back in future. Thanks again!

    The lodge was fully equipped with everything you need. We met one of the owners when she came to check the hot tub, she was very friendly and was happy to answer any questions we had. We had a great relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend staying here.

  • "Bad bits: 1."

    We were devastated and hurt to receive a message on our way home from Sykes, just 2 hours after checkout, saying the owner had reported we had damaged their hot tub. We are conscientious people and looked after everything as if it was our own… so we were of course insulted to be accused so quickly of damage, which we absolutely had not caused. I have to add that there were no photos provided to back up such accusations or even any finer details of what we had supposedly done. This completely put a downer on our holiday. We cleaned the cabin well and left everything immaculately (definitely cleaner than we found it as I swept up dog hair before we left and we don’t have a dog…). I ended up having to make a call to Sykes on our way home about this to message to express my hurt and upset and to try to get some more information, which they didn’t really have… It seems that, sadly, it’s easy for the “Good Housekeeping Bond” to be used against honest, careful visitors as an attempt to get money out of them. How many people are being accused like us? A deeply upsetting experience when this holiday was incredibly needed for us… 2. You have to walk out of the cabin area and through the garden (where you’re fully visible to the owners house) to take the lid off the hot tub. You then have to walk all the way back around again to put it back on afterwards - this makes for a very cold and exposed walk in a swimsuit! Poorly thought out. A set of steps down from the decking would make much more sense and also be safer. 3. It would have been nice to have been told on the booking information that you can expect to have to drive through a very large herd of very stubborn cows to get to the cabin…. Coming back after dinner in the dark and coming face to face with them was very scary and something we had not prepared for… 4. There was a lot of dog hair on the floor when we arrived. 5. The sofas in the cabin are sunk and very unsupportive for your back. 6. Some of the wardrobe door knobs and chest of drawer knobs were missing having broken off and not been replaced. 7. There were several small holes in bedding. 8. We were only provided with one large towel and one small towel for two people for 4 nights. 9. There were no towel robes provided for use after getting out of the hot tub - this is the first cabin stay we’ve had where these were not provided - and with the hot tub positioning, walking around in full view of the owners house in your swimsuit just feels inappropriate… 10. No “nice things” to turn up to like biscuits or bread or eggs etc… again the first cabin we’ve come to where you get nothing as a welcome. 11. The integrated fridge was wobbly as well… not really attached inside its casing. Good bits: 1. The cabin itself was fairly well equipped with kitchen things 2. Lovely views from the decking to have breakfast and coffee 3. Bed was comfortable 4. WiFi was strong and reliable 5. Hot tub was welcome after long walks

  • "We had a really lovely time at The Cabin."

    Mikaela is a brilliant host, really friendly and went the extra mile for us due to the track to the cabin being resurfaced. She was helping us with our luggage due to not being able to drive down, we were also offered an extra night due to this. The location is just amazing, well out of the way but only around 15 minute drive to Tesco and other shops. The Cabin was lovely with all needs catered for, bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was very nice especially after all the walking we did and we were able to watch the sunset

  • "Really enjoyed our time here, been to many hot tub locations over the years and this is in our top favourites now."

    Great location, all the amenities you could want, plenty of space to relax, very likely to return in the summer with it only being a short drive to the coast. My only comment would be the chlorine level of the hot tub, as to not disturb their guests they do not do daily PH checks of the hot tub and top up with chlorine when required. Instead there is a little floating pod that stays in the hot tub with chlorine inside. This did cause mine and my partners skin to become incredibly dry which we weren't prepared for so had no moisturiser to combat the dry skin. Only mentioning this so future guests know to pack a bottle of body lotion.

    A really nice lay out and great level of finish inside, unusual for a dog friendly place as often these are old and tired. We really couldn't fault it. The owners were also very helpful, with directions and any questions we had. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Top tip - if you arrive in the dark, trust your sat nav and the directions supplied as it really is in the middle of nowhere but worth the journey.

  • "The cabin is in a lovely secluded spot with great views."

    On first inspection the cabin seemed clean but me being a clean freak found the oven dirty and the toaster crumb tray full of burnt bits. I tried to clean both with what i had with me so i would at least use them. But would suggest a regular professional oven clean and empty the toast crumb tray every change over. All other parts of the cabin nice and clean. Would have liked a hoover as we both have asthma and dog hair floats on vinyl floors and using the broom just moves the dust and hair around the place. One other suggestion is to provide a poo bin for the dog waste as all the bags we put on the ground by the gate (as asked to) and they just sat there for the 3 days we were there. last point there were not dishwasher tablets left as per the cabin information but as we do not have one ourselves we just washed up as we do at home and yes we could have asked for some but do not like to disturb owners on such a small point. We still enjoyed out time there thank you

  • "The cabin was a lovely rural location and we received a warm welcome."

    Unfortunately there were dogs on a neighbouring farm that barked all night every night we were there, which interrupted our sleep. The facilities were good except shower was low pressured which let it down. We left at 10am as requested but there was no one around to say good bye too which was a shame. We enjoyed the stay and was a lovely location if a little dark on the drive down into the farm.

    The photos do not do it justice, a very tranquil place overlooking fields and hills all you can hear are horses and sheep. Very secluded with no intrusion from the owners. Would definitely recommend and will definitely 're book.
