  This listing does not live up to its description.

  It is a cold, unwelcoming place where the heating is insufficient in every respect. Cold floors, draughty windows, a lack of insulation in this outbuilding lead to it having an unaired, abandoned feel and certainly not suitable for a winter break. It can be found up about a mile up the farm track, with a dark, dense wooded view from the kitchen and a view of the back of a farmhouse from the front. There is no name on the cottage which stands next to a delapidated greenhouse with sharp glass which has been allowed to cave in and stay where it fell. We left after 2 nights because the bed was so horribly and unbelievably cold. We left the heating on all day on our second day but the building retains no warmth at all. The minute the heating goes off, it becomes cold again. There is insufficient lighting in the lounge/diner for reading which is not cosy, even with a log fire. The owners had kitted out the kitchen well and left eggs as a welcome gesture which was nice but even the black , windowless bathroom was quite depressing. We did not contact the owners before we left as there is nothing they could have done to improve things for us. Sykes' representative's naïve comment that we should have talked to them first so that they could have turned up the thermostat showed a lack of understanding of the severity of our issues. We have both lived in a rural setting in the north of England and are used to inclement , winter weather. We have been Sykes customers for over 20 years and have always had a good experience. This means we will not be booking our next holiday with Sykes.

  Wasn’t the cleanest of properties cobwebs mostly and dusty skirting boards plus the fire had just been left after last use living room ok seating was fine but channel choice on TV wasn’t that good kitchen ok canny layout could do with some proper microwave containers and someone had broken the freezer part of the fridge and not said anything should’ve had the decency to admit to it bathroom is small it’ll be a squeeze for a larger person to sit on the toilet also big shower head no pressure bedroom biggest room bed nice but not for the taller person also window doesn’t lock and can be opened from outside Nice area quiet and peaceful overall not the best but not the worst by far Clark and Caroline friendly 6 or 7 out of 10

  All spik and span on arrival.

  Lovely house. The small double room has a double bed which was so squeaky my daughter had to move downstairs to the children's room. I left a note for Phil, the owner so he may have tightened up the frame by now. I wouldn't consider that room to be comfortable for more than 1 occupant All other bedrooms were great...though the upholstery leaves a lot to be desired! We had a lovely break there and all of us had a great time.

  We loved the little cottage and it's location, lovely and quiet and a really dark sky, amazing for looking at the stars.

  The ducks made an additional smile to our faces. I only have one small niggle and that is the bathroom is very cramped, hardly any room when using the loo and I also feel they would benefit from a walk in shower, rather than one over the bath. Quite difficult to get in and out (being an older lady). Overall very nice and the people seemed really nice. Thanks.
