Firstly, although I have ticked 'met expectations', that is because I have high expectations which are quite often not met by holiday companies.. So I am glad to say that Sykes and this holiday cottage met everything. The home is in a quiet location, a half mile walk (or with an old dog a drive!), up to the moor and then lots of walking, beginning with level walks. We only managed short level walks with an older dog, but level walking is essential for him. The home itself was very clean, comfortable, the pool was wonderful, although initially seemed much smaller than I would have liked, but swimming against the current was great, swimming on the spot! You can alter the current, so I had it at very gentle!! The pool is a reasonable size for children to be in without the current. We had a great time and are looking at dates to go back.

Very homely.. Lovely beds and bedding. Good shower and plenty of hot water. Kitchen well equipped. Lounge has plenty of comfy furniture. Pool was well used and a added plus to this accommodation. Views to die for. Very remote so need transport. Good walks on the moor. Good dry weather was a bonus for us. All round excellent relaxing autumn break .
