What our customers say about their holidays

  Beautiful pod Beautiful area The pod was clean and well looked after, but there was a few things that could be done, 1.

  it is advertised with a hot tub, this is actually an small hot tub which they don’t turn and you could only use once a day as they needed to empty it and put fresh hot water in - they said there’s no bubbles or anything it’s not a jacuzzi just a hot tub , very disappointed by that as we wanted to sit and relax in it throughout the day as well as night - not sit in a glorified bath tub while the water quickly goes cold in the cold weather! We paid extra for this property to others we were looking at as it was meant to have a hot tub. 2. As we couldn’t access the hot tub and the weather was bad we had to stay in, the internet access was very hit and miss 3. Kitchen equipment was a little lacking and the oven was a combo oven/ microwave and you can’t for much in 4. The bedding was clean and freshly put on, but it smelt of fried food as the kitchen and bed are next to each so maybe take some fabreeze to use before you go to sleep 5. lack of bins, we tidy up after ourselves and the pods are at the back of a tea room / house and there are no allocated bins and at one point there was no bins at all for 2 days, we was nervous about using the bins at the house as we was unsure if they were for their property or joint use? The pod is lovely and if the weather is nice and you like being out all day it would probably be a lovely stay, but I definitely wouldn’t be returning or recommending it to anyone.

  We had a very pleasant surprise on finding our holiday cottage.

  What a view! Pendle Hill is just stunning and such beautiful surroundings. The cottage was warm, secure, well equipped with lovely comfortable beds. High standard of cleanliness and a lovely conservatory and light entering the cottage. We loved the period features and style and a lovely décor and colour choice. We had a warm welcome from Emma who made sure we were happy and went out of her way in torrential rain to come and check on us. How lucky we were to be part of the farm community and experience what this is like. Beautiful horses, pygmy goats - and baby Bella!, chickens, and the most gorgeous tabby cat who paid a daily visit and loved cuddles. Farm staff were so helpful and kind and encouraged us to see the animals and gave advice on local walks - thanks to all of them and Emma. Local area is full of things to do - walks, we visited HAPPA - Horse and Pony Protection, Gawthorpe Hall. My great-great grandfather was from Lancashire and I can see why he loved it so much, I could quite happily have stayed on the farm. The torrential rain on the week we visited did not detract from our stay and we had a fabulous week with Mum and my grand daughter, so much so that we hope to book again for next year once our holidays at work are agreed. Cannot wait to return.

  I would say that this was the most disappointing holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

  We have booked with Sykes on several occasions previously & have been very impressed with the standard of accommodation, but unfortunately on this occasion our experience failed to meet our expectations. From the photos it looks as though the cottage is remote & offers privacy, however you are nestled between two other properties & next to a camp site. Due to building work next door & the lack of privacy, it was like living next door to a building site & made the garden space unusable. We didn't feel like we could sit out there at all, plus the "secure garden" we were promised for our dog was quite the opposite & our dog escaped instantly! The shower was also unusable (I think the thermostat had packed up) and alternated between freezing cold & boiling hot. I had to wash my hair over the sink instead. None of the internal doors shut properly & the kitchen scissors & torch mentioned on the itinerary which would have been useful were absent. Also due to two other cars sharing the parking area, it made it extremely difficult to manoeuvre to get out without conducting a 10 point turn!! I would definitely not return to this cottage. Very unsatisfactory!!!

  Owner's daughter was lovely and helped us resolve a few issues, even bringing us some fresh eggs.

  Surrounding area is gorgeous. Goats and chickens to the front, sheep and lambs behind. Loads of great walking / hiking areas all around, you don't need to drive anywhere. The cottage however was dirty and very dusty though. My wife and son had problems with the dust due to asthma. The microwave oven looked like something had exploded inside it a long time ago. Cottage really does need a deep clean. It's not possible to control the heating, so it's either boiling or freezing inside (there's a thermostat on each radiator but they don't work and the main system is on a timer). Shower is electric and has no power - my wife had to wash her hair at home of family nearby. Definitely needs a new and modern central heating / warm water system. Double bed isn't very comfy - it's too small in width and length, and felt a bit like a trampoline - more spring than cushion. A new bed would be a wise investment. The farm track up to the cottage could do with having the potholes filled in. Be careful if you're not driving an actual tractor.

  The cottage is in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by stunning countryside and close to a number of beautiful small towns and villages.

  Cottage is comfortable enough however we feel it could do with some upgrading in terms of decor. Wifi signal is very weak - you're better off standing out in the middle of the driveway than in the cottage itself and TV is extremely small. The bathroom looks like it could do with an overhaul - it looks shabby and piecemeal and quite dirty. We feel that overall the place could have been cleaner - it looks like it hasn't been given a good thorough cleaning for a while with frames on windowsill covered in dust and a funny smell to sofas and cushions. The bunk bedroom is super small and had we been more than 4 people I'm not sure how that room would have been used as a bedroom as there is space for the bunk beds and nothing else. The mattresses on the bunks also look like they've seen better days - they looked old and worn. It's a good thing that the other double bed had been made up for our children as the room was more spacious and we wouldn't have been happy with them on those mattresses.
