“You can tell this is a labour of love for the owners and a very pretty comfortable cottage.”
It's more rural than we were expecting and you can't just walk to a pub safely.
They say parking for two cars but really there is parking for one car per cottage, sensibly and not two. (Unless you want to park on a patch of grass outside the property on a busy country lane which is pitch black at night)
The cottage was well equipped with slow cookers, air fryers, stair gates, cots, it really has almost everything you can think of. It was missing a fan and a smart tv so we could watch netflix etc though.
Welcome pack, includes, wine, cookies, tea, coffee and milk sachets which was nice touch. Few games like Scrabble and a dvd player and plethora of dvds to choose from.
Dogs were left a bowel for water, but they aren't allowed upstairs or on sofas, which isn't communicated on the Sykes listing. Luckily the stair gate helped.
Cottage and hot tub is overlooked by the owners. One day we arrived back to be told our outside light had been left on all night. This made us feel a tad awkward and was the only real time we spoke to anyone.
The hot tub is a nice touch, we only really book places with a pool or hot tub when we holiday in UK, the hot tub cover seemed heavy, and not functioning properly, it was hard to shut back up easily and too close to cottage to get down the side.
Not sure if it was us, but the hot tub never seemed very hot either.
The windows upstairs are all low floor level, and classed as fire escapes, this inevitably stops furniture being placed. Really lacks a chest of drawers or second bedside table with drawers in the master room.
There is a locked door in the bedroom, which for me was very off putting and made me feel awkward not knowing what was behind there.
The main bathroom is really nice and modern, as is the kitchen. The shower is lacking a pump and wasn't very powerful tho.
Overall we had a comfortable stay and you can't please everyone. Very much a home from home and we enjoyed our stay and appreciated all the little touches
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
There is easily space for two cars per cottages. You can park across the car park where the path starts near our gate.
Re smart tv, although not a smart tv, you can watch Netflix and many guests do! There’s an app It’s on the dvd player.
The locked cupboard is the airing cupboard where all the air source heat pump controls etc are kept. Unfortunately we can’t leave it open as it’s all programmed.
We hope you still enjoyed your stay!
