The directions were not the clearest and the location / cottage isnât sing posted from the roadside The contact numbers listed in the email were useless as nobody answered the phone The cleanliness of the cottage was substandard with cobwebs and grime in every room The hot tub was un useable - we used it once and got out because the water smelt horrific I didnât believe I received value for money on this trip and on the whole was very disappointed

It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The hot tub made a great weekend into a most memorable weekend. This is my 3rd holiday this year with Sykes, so that's got to prove how good they are. The bedding and towels are so soft and of great quality. It's only just over 3 miles to sainburys for these last minute buys we forgot. Plenty good quality pot, pans, crockery and cutlery. The house was nice and warm with nice mood lighting awaited our arrival and the added nice touch of a bottle of prosecco. There was also a jar of tea, coffee and milk. We'd all highly recommend this property for a wonderful, peaceful and happy getaway.
