The cottage was spacious and very comfortable.. It was warm and cosy and we felt at home. Lovely owner came to say hello and to ask if we needed anything.
Welcome tea, coffee, sugar and milk and fresh tulips when we arrived.
The owner also recommended excellent restaurants. The Merchant’ s House being only two minutes walk from the cottage. Brilliant stay - Thank you

We did not think the cottage merited four stars.. Yes the furniture was comfortable but the heating system is antiquated and needs seriously updating. The heater in the en suite was not working and the owner was completely unconcerned when we phoned to report the fact. There is no instruction book for the cooker. The cottage appears unloved and uncared for. The oven was dirty and the cottage needs a thorough spring clean. There was no access to the back yard where a gutter or overflow was dripping badly in heavy rain.
The information book in the sitting room is out of date and we were extremely disappointed to discover when we phoned the owner to check that there were no recycling facilities available. We are frankly amazed that Sykes are prepared to tolerate this. In the end we brought the recycling home with us. We do not support putting clean recyclable material in the general rubbish and are surprised that you do. I await your comments before I consider booking with your organisation again.
