Kitchen area cleaned before using. Damp smell in living area, had to air out on arrival,this meant leaving windows and half door open and whilst we unpacked our dog barked. The neighbour saw fit to come tell us off after only being onsite for 5 minutes so not a great welcome. The cottage location was great and the outside area works well. The stairs are treacherous and cottage like and the bathroom is modern with a nice shower. No obvious recycle facility onsite so bottles left for cleaner to recycle . Used the VRBO app to try and contact owner but got no reply, ended up phoning Sykes. Had a pricing discrepancy also where Sykes charged me more than the agreed price on VRBO and I cannot get this resolved so other renters should look out for this anomaly.

The bed was comfortable and shower was powerful with plentiful hot water. The kitchen area was very well equipped. Our only disappointment was that the living room was very dark mainly because of the high hedge opposite. If this could be reduced in size it would make a huge difference.

Set in the beautiful village of Castleton, itâs ideally located just 2 mins from the Main Street. The car parking space is an added bonus. The cottage itself is well established with everything you need for your stay. Would highly recommend âºï¸
