What our customers say about their holidays

• Kate - Verified booking

  It was such a lovely holiday.

  The cottage was beautiful. Comfy beds, lovely kitchen with huge table, beautiful walks around the farm. The lounge had 3 sofas so we could all comfortably rest and chat. The owners were lovely and helpful. On arrival there were some delicious brownies and tea, coffee, milk and cold water in the fridge. There were lovely little cards around the house with instructions which made things easier. The WiFi speed was really good, despite the card with the code saying it was slow! We were able to stream TV via out Roku which we brought with us so we could watch Disney with the kids. Is there a downside? The parking isn’t directly outside the property, you have to walk round through the courtyard and down a small passage and then down 2 steps, so remember to take shopping bags when you pop to the shops! We have a plug in hybrid and are getting a fully electric car soon, so it may be tricky in future as we will need to find electric charging points or plugs near where the car is parked…but this applies to any holiday rental. Maybe Sykes and other rental platforms can lobby the government to provide funding to install car charging points at holiday properties so that more people going electric can holiday more easily in the UK to boost the economy more?!

  The BB house was excellent accomodation, spacious, well-specced and had everything that a family could need in three good sized bedrooms as well as decent sized living room and dining area.

  It is directly linked to a farmhouse and the owner was very helpful and friendly However the description on Sykes website is incomplete as it says only 'ground floor accomodation' . In reality the apartment is accessed through a narrow downward sloping passage, with a right angle bend at the end and two steps with the doorway immediately to the left. This was a problem for us as my daughter is a wheelchair user and it was difficult to get her in and out of the apartment. As it was stated 'ground floor accomodation' with no mention of accessibility otherwise I did not expect this. The reference to the passageway and steps is buried in the directions to the apartment which one received after booking and is easy to miss However BB house was kept to a high standard, and I would recommend it to another family once they had no mobility issues. Please correct the listing to be clear that this property may not be suitable for persons with mobility problems. Otherwise the accomodation was very good.

  The cottage is absolutely lovely, so cosy and full of all the things you could need for a break away.

  Everything was spotless and the location was ideal. Baby products left out with a highchair etc were all lovely touches. The only negative we found was that someone was above us which we didn’t realise when booking. I doubt this would have changed our minds on booking, however there was loud noise from the people above us all the way to midnight, sometimes later, which with kids wasn’t ideal. This was every night we were there, although this was of course not the property owners fault. Overall I would highly recommend the property for a short break.

  We have just returned from a weekend away.

  The house has exceeded all of our expectations. We just wanted a basic place to stay to allow us to visit family, however this house was much more than that. The owner and her family were lovely and welcoming going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. From providing us with all the essentials needed for travelling with a baby to informing us about the local area and even giving us bread for the little one to feed the ducks. The house was amazingly clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

  This is our second visit to the well furnished, spacious ground floor apartment in a superb location.

  Beds are comfortable, facilities are excellent and there is plenty of space for lounging in the sitting room. The owner is friendly and responsive, but in no way intrusive. There is a shared courtyard, but the listing does not state that the owners have added a garden to the rear of the property which allows level access and a private sitting area. We enjoyed a picnic sitting under the trees overlooking the lake and walking in the grounds. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Would recommend.
