  This is an absolutely fantastic place to visit.

  We loved our week here but somethings were a little bit of a struggle if you have any back or hip problems. The sofa is extremely soft and low. And the chairs are also low and soft with no support. The mattresses felt like you would fall out of bed as they peaked in the middle. The views in the hot tub are amazing. And the sauna was so refreshing on the morning. Felt like you were in another world. The owner and manager came to visit us at our request and they were great to deal with. The shepherds hut is amazing on the property. The garden was enclosed so my chihuahua had free space in the garden. The roads are very country narrow and bendy so you need to consider this if you’re a nervous driver. We found a farm house on next hill along about 2 minute from the house in a car that did fresh hen, duck and goose eggs. There is also Fox Valley shopping centre with Iceland and Aldi and home bargains, boots and Costa and an few other shops about a 10 minute drive away so we were able to shop often for the week with fresh goods. The views are outstanding and the walks around the reservoirs are stunning. Sitting in the hot tub you can see the horses and rabbits running across the fields or look at the view the opposite way which is trees and hear the birds singing. The garden was set up brilliant with plenty of seating. The local pub (The Castle Inn) is all up hill to get there and on a narrow bendy road so walking we felt was a bit treacherous for that. So may need to assign a designated driver or organise a taxi. Overall I absolutely would recommend 2 Pheasant Lane. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was sofa and mattresses in the main house. Other than that we loved being here.

  The inside of this property was very nice indeed and the woman who met us was very welcoming and pleasant.

  However we had a number of complaints about the grounds which we passed onto Sykes when we came home as we were informed when we arrived that there was no one to maintain the outside of the property. I contacted Sykes originally as I did not wish to leave an unfavourable public review. However, both their response and the response of the owner (not the woman who met us who was very helpful) has been most unacceptable, in that I had to pester Sykes for a response then when it came back they merely passed on the owners explanation which was to blame the weather and quick turn around between clients as well as saying we should have informed them straight away. (we did and were told there was no one to maintain the outside)The main issues were that the garden at the front was full of weeds, the plants at the back in the big pots were dead, there was a huge pot of stagnant water at the entrance, the patio was uneven, the umbrellas for the patio furniture were broken, the barbeque and pizza oven were filthy (we cleaned them) as well as the bins being full when we got there so having to take our rubbish down to a skip. I had assumed that Sykes regularly checked the properties on their site but this seems not to be the case. Needless to say we will not be booking with Sykes again.

  We were looking for a relaxing, peaceful stay for a group of friends and this is exactly what we got.

  The property is spacious, with great open plan social space inside and out. The beds are comfortable, bedrooms have good storage space. And it was lovely to wake up hearing the birds every morning in a beautiful location. (Perhaps not the pheasants at 6am, but what else can you expect on Pheasant Lane?!) The kitchen has everything you could want to make this feel like a home from home. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and the property is in a great location for running or walking routes. The welcome pack and tour from Keiran on our arrival was very kind. A great find, we can’t wait to go back again. We received the wrong contact point details for the property to arrange key collection from Sykes Cottages in an email. Thankfully, the person we contacted in advance of our stay, who had left the role, was very understanding and put us in touch with Keiran- the new contact. We noticed the old contact details name and number are still in the property information pack in the house (but not on the online version Kieran sent us) and Kieran’s name, but the the wrong phone number for key collection details were on the Sykes Cottages online account, just wanted to mention so this can be updated so others don’t have the same experience.

  Excellent property and manager!

  The facilities are brilliant. Considering we were there through 3 major storms, very high winds, an electricity cut, flooding, snow, hail and minus temperatures we still had a great family stay with ages 6 months to a partially disabled 70! The hot tub and sauna were in use daily, with separate towels provided, as was the log fire. The pizza oven was a hit. The area is superb for walking both from the cottage and to drive to, site seeing, eating out and shopping. Everything was there we needed and the manager Lindsay was always available for queries or problems. During the electricity cut she updated us as she knew and told us where to go where it was on for food etc. She came over with a separate heater for the shepherds hut when one of them was running well and organised people to come in. The place was spotless and had everything! Beds are comfortable. I genuinely cannot think of any negatives. There were 5 adults, 2 teenagers, a baby and 3 dogs. (Sykes were excellent sorting with the owner an extra dog gained in a last minute emergency). Also the whole booking process was made easy through Sykes.

  I thought this was a very good property it felt like a home and a good standard of equipment through out a few minor points the small track leading up to the house could do with a little maintenence some big holes in the road starting to appear nothing a bag of gravel from time to time wouldn't sort out, a coffee machine would be great and the outside area beginning to deteriate a little but that will l happen other than that great place loved the layout, the log burner great a good standard across we had some minor issues the management team were great and straight away addressed them with great communication and later transpired wasn't really anything at all would stay again but we visit Sheffield for family and friends a lot so wouldn't stay all the time as a liitle on the expensive side for us the sheppards hut was very cosy for our friends and they loved it it's a thumbs up from us would be great in the summer with all the equipment outside and finally hot tub was fantastic, clean as well thanks for having us and keep up the good work and standard the hagues
