I have booked via Sykes before and have always been pleased

Overall we had a lovely holiday however we were a little disappointed by the property as it was on an estate and felt a bit odd lacking the character that other places we have stayed at had.. I also think the lack of drying facilities i.e. heated towel rail or tumble dryer was an issue when it was wet (an outside clothes dryer is not ideal when it’s raining)

Lovely cottage, so cosy and warm and very clean on arrival.. Every detail thought of and so homely but not cluttered, lovely and modern and tidy. Really comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, comfy sitting room with great eating area. Modern bathroom and great outdoor area with drying facilities. Local shops only minutes away, 10/15 min walk to town centre. Really near loads of nice dog walks. So relaxing, will definitely be back! Was a real haven and could have stayed another week!

It was absolutely fantastic and perfect for what was required! Close enough to walk into town and detailed information pack on arrival. Small issue when first arrived which was dealt with efficiently and caused no problem to our experience!

When we arrived at the cottage after a 10 hour journey (this was due a diversion on the A9 of 1 and 1/2 hrs, not your fault just added to the strain of the day) the cottage had not been cleaned or linens changed since the last people had left.. I called the management agency, the number was located in the information file. They advised they thought it was clean and had not been in that day to check. They advised that they were aware we were coming and had made a mistake. We all make mistakes, although I was surprised. We were asked to leave the cottage for up to 2hrs so it could be cleaned. As you can imagine this was not ideal. We were tired, hungry and needed to rest after such a long drive. I was not happy at all. We returned to the cottage at 6.30 and it had been cleaned, it was just something we did not need. I hope this does not happen again. I felt it had to be brought to your attention as it tainted the holiday experience.

Cottage was adequate for our purposes, but as a modern semi on a housing estate definitely lacking in character compared to most Sykes Cottages.. One shortcoming was there was nowhere to dry towels - needed a bathroom radiator or heated towel rail.

Great location.. Nice quiet walk/cycle away from main road into center. Steam train passes right by the house - amazing view, it only passes a few times a day so it's not a problem. House very nice, beds very comfy. Minor issue with bathroom was fixed super quick by a local tradesman - great response. Coat hanging space at the backdoor would have been handy. No drying frame for inside - there is a line outside but weather was poor so we couldn't use it after washing a few items. Full access to Sky Movie package which is great for the evenings.
