Hot tub was nice to relax in at the end of the day but was uncomfortable to sit in with the crystals or whatever was put in not dissolving properly, it got into our swimwear. The wall between us and next door I thought wouldâve been insulated better, we could here their to nearly every night â¹ï¸ Overall it was a great week with lovely weather in a lovely part of the country xx

Very clean, comfy beds and everything you need is there. Love the decorative touches, and the nightlights and torches were a nice touch. Hot tub was wonderful and fitted 3 of us easily. Lovely grounds too. However trying to get in touch with Sykes Cottages was impossible. I sent 3 emails over a couple of months before our stay but had no response. Even used the virtual chat who said theyâd get them to contact me but they never did. That was the only negative.
