Itâs a lovely cottage with a beautiful garden, the weather was kind to us so we spent some time out there. There was everything we could need and a thoughtful welcome package that included all the essentials.The cottage heated up very quickly in the evenings which was a real plus and although the parking space was too small for our car the pub next door let us park there so it wasnât an issue. Our dog Chester really enjoyed the garden and walks from the door. The ceilings height could be a drawback if you are tall but being shorter it was great only having 9 steps to upstairs. We did have an issue getting the key safe number but did get it 3 hours before we arrived by phoning Sykes. Really relaxing stay and canât wait to book to come back. Thank you
