Gas issue of which hasnât been resolved to our satisfaction and weâre still awaiting owners response to Sykes. Was happy to leave a very good review upon resolution of our issue but after over a week no response has been received. No gas or hot water on our last evening and last morning. Ruined the end to our weekend away. Unable to cook breakfast or shower before we left. A small amount of refund/compensation we feel is not out of order to request. Working in customer service, a complaint can be dealt with speedily to provide a good outcome for all. However to ignore, does not help anyone.

Communications from the owners were very good, & they were happy to help with our questions pre visit. We would definitely look to stay here again.

It was also very light for an old cottage (which are often dark!). The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the heating and hot water were good. The back and front gardens were lovely and we spent time in both. There was always a parking space close (although is a little tricky to pull out onto the road). The TV in the living room sometimes dropped the internet connection when we were using streaming services. We were a little confused about the tv in the master bedroom (not a tv, but a monitor instead). We would visit again and would happily recommend staying in this property.
