VERY small, Bedroom is an alcove behind a curtain. Shower has black mould and needed cleaning, hand basin is minute with a shelf above so you can't use it properly. No upright chairs only stools so no 'romantic dining'. No cleaning products except small amount of w/up liquid. Clothes rail in hallway as a wardrobe. No c/heating, fan heaters and convector only. Not comfortable at all for elderly people. A bit too basic for us, but the location was ideal. Towels were nice and the bed comfortable so not all bad news.

Unfortunately for some reason we did not receive a bottle of wine, snacks or tea in the welcome pack. Contacted Sykes who questioned if it was advertised as being included. Bit strange as itâs on their website. Confirmed it was but never got a reply even after a reminder message on the app. Also didnât realise that there was a cottage above ours and unfortunately the noise from upstairs was horrendous. We did enjoy the break and would stay again
