What our customers say about their holidays

  Rented this property to spend time with family so we were 6 adults sharing - having 3 ensuite bathrooms made this a suitable property for our group.

  The barn is lovely and spacious, well equipped and within easy walking distance of the village. The property is very clean with quality bed linen and towels. There is a plentiful supply of hot water and heating is controlled by room though as summer visitors this wasnt needed. Although there is another barn on the site, the property is very private with a south facing furnished garden and enough parking for 3 cars The village pub (The Bell Inn) is within a ten minute walk and serves good quality pub grub with a very friendly atmosphere. We also dined at the Natterjack where the food was very good but a car is required as on a main road. There are many nice towns and villages nearby to explore and the barn had a collection of leaflets with recommendations for days out. My only critique would be the beds in the twin room which didnt seem suitable for adults - may need the mattresses replaced - but would be perfect for children.

  This has to be THE cleanest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in!

  10 out of 10 for all areas! It was so lovely to walk into such a place and to know that the standard was that high. It may not be important to everyone but I think all agree that there is nothing worse than feeling you have to put everything through the dishwasher before use (yes, we've had holidays like that!) It is also unusual to find somewhere that is so well equipped - TV with freeview and DVD, WiFi, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer - the lot - and all in pristine condition. It was also nice to have separate (shower room, toilet) en suites to the master bedroom (not seen that before) and a very useful 'games room' with full size snooker table and table tennis (kept my husband and son happy whilst I watching boring TV!!) All in all we could not fault this lovely cottage on a farm and expressed our gratitude to the friendly, approachable hosts who were on site (attached house) should we have needed them.

  The Original information provided and photography was cleverly selected and presented to mislead.

  The cottage was presented as far more than it was. The games room was separate from the main building and suffered with damp making it an unpleasant space. The supplies included were far more limited than supplied with any lodge or Cottage rented in the last 20 years, actually ever. The cottage was clean but poor value for money for the price, even down to insufficient toilet paper supplied for a three day stay. Also beds were very uncomfortable and were clearly past their best, The dog poo on our leave from their dog summed up the experience. We were disappointed but made the best of it for our stay. We will be back to the area but would not stay in this cottage again. It is supposed to be for five. I think not, it was small for us alone. Positive - owner was a nice lady but clearly a lot to learn about renting a cottage to fulfilling the remit and resoonsibility.

  Our Stay at Leigh Holt was perfect.

  Definitely one of the best places we have stayed in using Sykes Holiday Cottages.The weather was fantastic too. Kate and Alex made us feel so welcome. The place was immaculate, thoroughly home from home. The bonus was calves had been born the week before, so they were sharing the meadow with their mothers, at the bottom of the garden. We would most certainly recommend Leigh Holt to anyone who wants a cottage where they can relax and also be near to many places that Somerset has to offer. Two good pubs a few minutes away by car who dish up food near by. The Poachers Pocket, good pub food served very quickly. Also The Strode Arms who seem to be building up a business which had been neglected before, serve good quality food locally sourced,cooked to order, which was most enjoyable, need to book especially at weekends at both places.

  We had a fantastic week at Leigh Holt.

  The property was immaculate and the little extra touches were much appreciated. We spent hours in the games room playing snooker, pool and table tennis. There were plenty of cues, rests and bats to use. The living room was so comfortable as were the beds and there was loads of storage space in the bedrooms and in the kitchen; as well as lots of plates, cups etc to use. The cooker and the dishwasher were easy to understand straight away - something we haven’t always encountered - and there were all the utensils you could need, including a pizza cutter (we had taken our own just in case but didn’t need it). We would love to go back again, which shows what a great place it was. Thank you.
