"The overriding issue was that Sykes added an extra £140 on the original booking when we had to defer the holiday due to unforeseen circumstances which meant that Hawthorn Cottage was overpriced for the accommodation on offer."
The “free parking” was on the opposite side of a busy main road and it wasn’t always possible to park close to the property. Transferring suitcases became a challenge to say the least.
The cottage itself was clean and tidy but very small and the lack of privacy both in the front room and the backyard could have been improved upon.
The provision of logs for the burner was welcome but a set of saucepans and a bread knife would have been even more so. The packet of biscuits as a welcome pack was pleasant but to be honest, after a long drive, a small bottle of milk plus some teabags would have been more useful.
Judging from the comments of other guests in the visitors book, we are in the minority but based on our experiences of many other holiday rentals Hawthorn Cottage was disappointing, sadly; especially in view of the overall cost of the holiday.
I am disappointed that you have chosen to misrepresent my property in this way. Your criticisms are totally unfounded. Could you be confusing my cottage with one of the.many others you have stayed in. Property Owner

Having the two reception rooms was very nice as it gave each couple an opportunity to either watch tv or sit by the log burner with a book

"We have just stayed in Hawthorn Cottage in Cotherstone."
It has been one of the loveliest cottages we’ve stayed in. It is an old stone cottage with loads of character but it has also been recently modernised to a high standard and is tastefully furnished with a very modern, fitted kitchen. It is very comfortable and cosy. It”s gorgeous to sit in front of the log fire in the sitting room reading a book in the evening. It’s so cosy. Cotherstone is a lovely village too.
I’d highly recommend this cottage for a very relaxing, comfortable stay.
