Cedar Cabin at Salford Court Farm Fishing Cabins

It was lovely beautiful cabin everything was prepared and ready use however we couldn’t allocate smell in the kitchen area possibly under the sink/ oven that was quite offensive.

We had a lovely stay at cedar cabin, the cabin is in a great location very private with plenty of outdoor seating and the hot tub was amazing!

included fresh clean bedding plenty of towels and all the crockery you need as well as tea coffee and sugar! Along with a large gas BBQ we made use of. Owners are lovely and friendly and very approachable, if you have any issues they are happy to help! You have to be patient with the fishing we started to catch after a couple of days, had a relaxing break and reasonably priced no extra charges for dogs etc which is great - we will certainly return in the future, thank you all for a lovely break

The Cabin was really good, I have recommended it to some of my friends.

It was very clean and bedding and towels were provided. There was everything you need for the stay, from washing up liquid to plenty of toilet rolls. I did find a few little things that needed repair, but none of these stopped us from having an extremely relaxing time. We all enjoyed the hot tub as my wife was it there everyday. The fishing was OK,unfortunately we didn't catch this time. Overall the place was great, the location was just right, I would recommend it to anyone. We're hoping to book both cabins and pods next year, for us and family and friends. It's definitely a great place to stay and chill.

Having booked the holiday to share my 71st birthday week with my family.

We were extremely happy with the accommodation and the level of kitchen equipment for us to use. The fishing was excellent and my daughter’s partner caught two amazing carp. We all had a fabulous time on the deck in the hot tub and gas BBQ was first class. The cabin was beautiful and warm and central heating and log burner were excellent especially with the cooler nights and early mornings. It was a most enjoyable stay with some lovely walks around the area. We are planning to book it again next year.

A lovely location, very comfortable cabin, very well equipped also, although there is quite a few maintenance issues in the kitchen and bathroom it didn’t effect what was a great stay and I’d certainly book again

The lodge and surroundings are beautiful, We came here for a fishing trip, storm Dave wasn't in our favour for our weekend.

The new fish had recently been delivered, that being said once the wind lifted we were luckily to catch a few beautiful big fish! We hope to be back next May when the lakes fully stocked See you then!

We booked a week for my partner’s 60th birthday, cedar cabin was just perfect.

We never wanted to go fishing, but went for relaxation. The facilities were perfect, the hot tub and outside seating was enjoyed. It is on our re-visit list.

Accommodation was great the fishing is absolutely diabolical.

There was one small carp caught over the 4 lodges in 3 days with hundreds of geese fighting all day long. Do not go for the fishing like I did, never again.

We loved our stay at the cabin- great location for a peaceful weekend and the hot tub (excellent and a highlight for us!

) and decking was lovely and spacious, despite the weather we did manage to enjoy a bit of outdoors. views of the lake were very peaceful and calming. We loved being able to have the log burner lit especially on the cooler evening and the whole vibe of the cabin was comfy and cosy. Location wise the pubs are nearby and really lovely and the shop is super handy too. A couple of bits of feedback we feel we should mention (but that didn't impact our experience, merely for future improvements): It is probably worth noting that the driveway and track are quite rustic with potholes and uneven surface that lead to the property- it would have been good to know this previously/on the listing due to the type of vehicle I personally drive. The kitchen could do with a coffee cafetiere and there was no hair dryer in the property which would have been useful. The hot tub lid didn't have the supporting arm on it which made it quite difficult to put back on (we managed between us!) Over-all a really positive stay!

The mattresses were very worn and for 2 nights my husband slept upright in the living room, as the mattress was extremely soft and dipped in the middle, this caused him back pain.

Please could you add a small lamp to the living area to make the light less harsh. We left out a baking tray as it was losing its coating. Overall we did love the cabin and it was our second visit; the setting is perfect, the hot tub was an added bonus. Thank you.

Amazing, picturesque!

Such a shame we only had one night, we will definitely be back. Very peaceful! Fully equipped with everything you could need. We really could not fault. Everything was perfect we highly highly recommend to anyone!!

Lovely and cosy cabin with everything you need to cook.

Good quality beds, good shower flow, many towels, free coffee, sugar and tea. The log burner and jacuzzi are great. The area is very nice for walks in the fields and for dogs. Only negative points: the sheep free roaming around the cabin and bleating in the early morning by the bedroom window and the rather bad TV reception.

Really really lovely.

Just what I needed. Good for the soul

Very comfortable, quiet and relaxing!

The cabin was spacious and the stay was relaxing.

VeryPoor customer service Firstly we booked a holiday to a lovely cabin with fishing.

We were so looking forward to a relaxing holiday fishing and watching the world pass by. The day after we booked the holiday we were informed by the owner he had no fish and advised us to cancel the holiday. So on the 16th September we went on line to try and cancel but it said we would get no refund. So we went on to there enquiry page and then on to there whatsap page and explained everything, and that the owner had said cancel the holiday and request the refund. On the 17th we had a message saying it was being passed over to another department, Our departure day 21st September came and we still heard nothing from Sykes, so it left us no choice but to go. And yes, no fish. We then spent the 22nd and 23rd travelling around the surrounding area looking for fisheries which were open, had fish and allow dogs, but we could not find anywhere to go. On the evening of the 23rd at 10:10 we finally had a reply, saying that since it had been more than 24hrs since we contacted them they would cancel unless we got back to them with a yes!! so again I wrote a message, with all the details and requested a refund. Then on the Wednesday 24th two more messages were sent. Also, several phone calls were attempted with no answer. so in the end we packed up on the 24th and went home. Once home I made several attempts at calling and managed to get through. I went through everything over again, and said I was also disappointed with the customer service, only to be told that they were good at customer service and were very busy and if we compared with other companies they give good service. As I too have worked in customer service and for an international company I told them that there service was dire, this is not how you treat a customer especially when there is a complaint being made and would advise other people not to use there company. So if you read this don't use Skyes Cottages if you want good service and a prompt reply when things go wrong.

No problems with sykes, booking went well.

6 days before stay,email that lake was closed. We do understand why. So my husband took no tackle,yet on arrival, 2 people fishing.!! My husband dissapointed.160 canadian geese have ruined lake. 2 owners not bothered,we spoke to. Sheep were drinking contaminated lake water.Tried and Couldnt get thro to sykes. No reception there.Bed beyond uncomfortable,matress springs coming through, slats noisy on moving.Pillows flat and cheap.Hottub smelt so strongly of chlorine, we didnt use it.Oven and hob were challenging. Ignition needs sorting. Gas kept popping. Great bathroom, shower and lots of towels.Cleaning good.Lovly area. Nice views.Not luxury and not worth £1500. Should get compensated. We made the best of it.Went home a day early. Couldnt face another night on that bed.

Window blinds need replacing outside windows all dirty

Lovely cabin Great surroundings and views.

Hot tub was a great addition Definitely would book again

Lovely lodge and facilities!

Excellent fishing spot and we did catch a great big carp which was lovely. Definitely recommend

.

A lovely peaceful setting around a lake with only 3 other cabins/pods.

A short walk to the local pub although this was quite boggy due to the time of year. The hot tub was only partly working and as it was over christmas, this couldn't be fixed. We also lost water pressure the first day that we were there but this was quickly fixed by the 'farmer'. Would be lovely in the summer when it's arm enough to sit out on the decking. Alovely warm cabin in the winter.

Great stay if you want a bit of privacy

Fantastic location, The owners were very helpful and attentive.

Overall great experience

No teapot or French Press, it was a middle class nightmare

What a wonderful retreat this place is to recharge your batteries.

Surrounded by wild life on the lake sheep in the surrounding fields. Watching the sun go down over the lake from the deck. Life couldn’t get much better than this.

Owner of the property is a very helpful and answered all the questions.

Thank you Our holiday home was great we would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed the cabin and it suited our needs well, especially as it allowed my 86 year old father to enjoy fishing.

Some of the fittings were of poor quality and loose/faulty (bathroom door lock/shower door). It would also have been good to have an electric kettle, rather than a traditional one which sits on the gas hob, and an electric toaster. I suspect these omissions were due to limited electric supply capacity in the cabins. Perhaps a small, lower-power, hotel-style kettle could be provided to allow enough water to make tea to be boiled as the hob kettle took a very long time to boil.

Our happy place, 3rd time staying in cedar lodge and not the last, hubby loves fishing so ideal for us to chill and I love the hot tub so both happy.

Watching the sheep and wildlife from the decking is so peaceful we switch completely off from everyday life. The cabin is very well equipped and spotlessly clean, can't wait to return.

Wow, what an experience.

! This place was stunning, the log cabin is beautiful, felt so homely and cosy. We made some awesome memories, fishing, hot tubs, bbqs, but most importantly, quality family time. Definitely a place to go back to.. a home away from home.

Just so peaceful.

Beautiful walks to the New Inn pub. So many walks actually. Working Farm so nice to be amongst animals. The cabin itself was clean, spacious with the sit outside area overlooking the lake, absolutely lovely. Would definitely go back. Thanks Andy - Paul and Duncan.

Just like the picture which was perfect.

Never felt so at with nature and every morning brought something different. Other groups were present during our stay but couldn’t hear much from them which was as perfect. Though the experience was top, there could be a few things done to make the experience even better: 1. Address the issue with the closing of front door. Did have to slam door to properly close / lock. 2. A few sharp areas of the decking where knots have loosened / fallen off leaving sharp points. 3. Maybe some decking strips for wooden steps? 4. Decking treatment / sand down etc… Just a few pointers to aid you going forward

I have been here 2 times before and loved it which is why we came back,Unfortunately everything seems to of not been maintained.

The front door does not lock which meant when we wanted to do days out we didn’t feel safe leaving belongings inside for too long.The plumbing in the toilet in constantly running through the night which I found it hard to sleep with this noise being so loud. Pots and pans could do with replacing every few months or at least once a year not just putting foil on them you can see the rust and marks starting to form on them. The fishing nets and Matt is just left outside getting weathered and if you want to look after your fish I wouldn’t want a fish I owned to be put on those.The toilet rolls were never replenished (we had to go and buy more) and towels once over a 7 day period with no drying or washing facilities I think this should be more often especially with a hot tub to use.Lastly the decking outside seems to be rotting in places as where I was standing fishing over glass there was wood cracking whilst walking on it.The location its self I have recommend to many people and still will I just believe this time we don’t get what we paid for and you need to put a little money back into the lodge.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, prior to arrival the guys were great on any info we needed , once arrived the lodge was spotless and we was very surprised how well equipped it was , very comfortable and clean, everything you need to vook etc, all towels were provided too, outside om veranda was great plenty of seating great bbq, we also did fishing which was just great literally outside lodge had some fantastic fish upto just short of 23lb , would highly recommend

We spent a lovely family week in the Cedar Cabin.

Absolutely beautiful area and couldn’t fault the cabin. The hot tub was lovely and so was the surrounding lake, geese, sheep and baby lambs! We took the advise from reading another review and brought our own electric kettle and toaster along as we didn’t want to wait around having to boil water on the gas stove and make toast in the grill oven, but everything else was well provided for. We had a curry night down at the local Lion Inn on our last evening and the food there is absolutely amazing! We enjoyed it so much that me and my husband have booked one of the smaller pods for the weekend for just the two of us again for June and November this year! Thank you to Salford Farm for a lovely week away. See you again in June! :) x

Formal complaint ref COR-368776-CF raised directly with Sykes one star rating given as system will not accept zero rating

We spent the half term week here with the grandchildren.

Great property and location. Very comfortable and warm. We had a very pleasant and relaxing week. Unfortunately had not appreciated that the lake is being developed as a specimen fishery. Fish are present but the style of fishing required is not suitable for the average child which was disappointing. The hot tub was a welcome and well used diversion. Would recommend, but with a reservation about family fishing.

The only downside for us was the chairs - we were a group of four ladies on a catch up weekend we didn't want to go out but just have lazy Friday and Saturday nights in - but one of us always ended up sitting on the dinning room chair which after a couple of hours not comfy - would be great if you removed an item of furniture (corner table/desk) to make room for another soft chair - this would stop us booking again

Amazing place set in a perfect location around a lake, ideal for families and pets.

We found loads of places to visit in the area and could not fit in all the activities we wanted to do. The kids loved the hot tub and spent hours in there each night. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. You are surrounded by the farms sheep which made the stay even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend and I am pretty certain we will be visiting again. Thank you to the owners for creating this gem.

Nice relaxing time.

Amazing place to stay so peaceful very clean & tidy would definitely stay again

Lovely.

Will be booking again.

The holiday was amazing: - The owners were really nice - The accommodation was clean, tidy and comfortable, however, the TV reception wasn't very good and the main door was really difficult to open, so used the side door.

- The decking area was great and spent most of our time out there

We all had a great time Lovely place ❤️ Thankyou

Had an amazing time.

Cabin was lovely amazing views and owners we're really friendly. We all enjoyed seeing the sheep, lams, geese, goslings, ducks and ducklings everyday. Pub The white lion is nice and friendly and less the 20 mins walk. Would definitely recommend.

What an absolutely beautiful lodge, I couldn’t fault a thing.

I wanted to escape the world for a few days and that’s exactly what I did the peace and tranquility was amazing, to wake up in the morning to sheep and lambs outside your window and geese on the lake just perfect!! I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a very chilled break. If I could rate it higher than 5star I absolutely would

Beautiful surroundings, tranquil, scenic, comfortable, and private!

We had a fantastic few days and will be returning. The lodge was homely, clean, and tidy, with everything you need under one roof. The hot tub was perfect, enjoying late into the evening. I rarely leave feedback, but this lovely experience deserved recognition. I would recommend a visit, we also had our nine-year-old son with us, who was more than occupied with the nearby walks, animals, and fishing! We are looking forward to our next visit and exploring more of the surrounding areas.

The place is brilliant, amazing location and the cabin was fantastic.

Few things though, the approach road to the cabin is very rough is it possible to have some compact road than the loose stone which might damage the tyres. The most important thing missing was a toaster. If would make a great difference is you add toaster. Also the main door is bit off balance and it takes bit of pulling and lifting to lock the main door. Other than that we had very fantastic time there. Would love to visit again

We had a very lovely peaceful stay and the surroundings were beautiful, the cabin was absolutely perfect for us and I have zero complaints.

I would however recommend that an electric toaster and kettle would have been nice as you couldn't make toast if the oven was in use and the kettle on the gas hob took a while to boil the water, but this is being really picky. I would stay here again for sure!

Could do with a brush and some cleaning equipment for longer stays

Wonderful stay!

Would recommend, lovely scenery and nature. Good hot tub, very spacious rooms. Only thing that would make the stay perfect is to have tea and coffee supplied.

We stayed in cedar lodge the week before Christmas.

It was perfect everything you need is supplied it was clean and tidy lots of wood for the log burner . We took full advantage of the hot tub. We did come for fishing but lake was frozen for 3 days but that’s winter !! We will definitely be coming back in the summer. Thankyou to the hosts for a lovely break.

Most beautiful cabin,owners really friendly and attentive.

Cabin really clean and comfortable with everything provided for your needs.

Fantastic break from start to finish, lovely comfortable cabin with everything you need supplied.

I couldn't think of anything you didn't have, plenty of towels, toilet rolls, wood for log burner. Lovely hot tub. Dishwasher a lovely bonus. 2 pubs just down the road serving fab food. If i had to name a negative the country roads have no paths so not great at night but i'm sure you could arrange a taxi if there were any issues. I would not hesitate to recommend the lodges to anyone and locals made us feel very welcome, didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

Location brilliant, nothing was to much trouble for the property owners, a definite place to return to, ‘total relaxation available on tap’. Fishing good as well. Plenty of towels and beds very comfortable, cabin very clean and cozy.

My husband and I and our two teenage sons recently stayed in Cedar cabin, we absolutely loved our short stay in this lovely part of tge country.

Relaxing in the hot tub with the surrounding field and lake view was just wonderful. The cabin is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean, the owners have clearly thought of everything as it is equiped with everthing you would need. We will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely time!

It was a bit of a push to fit 7 adults (we brought an airbed) but otherwise it was super relaxing and enjoyable. A page in the info folder about how to use the hot tub would have been helpful, and a net to fish out the flies. A good selection of nice days out nearby. Can definitely recommend!

We loved and enjoyed our stay

What a lovely place everybody so friendly the locals and the cleaner and the host was excellent we will definitely be going back and will recommend to all our friends

Our stay at the Cedar cabin was incredible!

The place had everything you could possibly need and it made for a very relaxing few days. We definitely look forward to returning soon.

Just arrived home, after a fabulous week away, staying in the Cedar Lodge.

The lodge definitely has the Wow factor from the minute you arrive. It is set on a secluded spot well away from the other lodge and pods. On the lake side with fabulous views. It is clean, has everything you need for a great stay. Hot tub, wood burner, gas bbq give it that extra touch. It is on a working farm on the outskirts of the village. Short walk to village pub and shop. Lovely walks in the area. Andy and Rob are great can't do enough for you, very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait to return, would definitely recommend. Short 5 min drive away is The New Inn, fabulous pub food, and plenty of it

We booked a 3 night stay in March and had a lovely time.

The cabins weren’t too close so it was nice to have room and feel like you weren’t intruding on other guests as they were all booked. We met the owners and they were very pleasant. The location is secluded and on a farm, the track down is a little steep so was a bit tricky to drive down if you have a smaller vehicle but it’s very scenic when you get to the bottom. There are lots of walks in the area (albeit very hilly!) and a few pubs to try out as well as a friendly shopkeeper who runs the village shop. Facilities were nice, the hot tub and wood burning fire were fab touches! A few things to improve on would be to add a toaster, have some spare pillows and bedding for the sofa bed and the doors were quite squeaky and hard to shut and the front door was difficult to open and lock. Overall we had a fab relaxing weekend. We’ve already looked at rebooking and would love to return. Thank you!

I have already given feedback but will do again…l Andy was great and we had a wonderful weekend.

Not sure why you charge the sane for 3 nights as you do for 7.

Most amazing cabin in a stunning location.

This is such a hidden gem and would highly recommend! Already wanting to plan a next trip here.

We had a great time last weekend, however, we feel the hot tub didn't have the correct amount of chemicals added.

There was a very strong chlorine smell and we've all come away with sore and flaky skin. Additionally there was no toilet roll when we arrived and we felt the cabin could have used a toaster.

Just some additions would be a Microwave and kitchen tongs for cooking.

Very good location for relaxing

Absolutely wonderful place to stay for a week to get away from city life!

Clean, modern facilities and friendly owners - definitely will be back and recommended to friends and family.

Owner was really approachable and more than happy to help with anything.

The cabin was immaculate and site was beautiful. We will definitely be visiting again and also recommending to family and friends.
