What our customers say about their holidays

  • Michelle - Verified booking

    Amazing property, in a quiet, relaxing location.

    The cottage is definitely home from home, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay, could not ask for more. Plenty of parking space. The wrap around garden has 2 lovely seating areas, and is so peaceful sitting outside. The beds are so comfortable I didn't want to get up in the morning. Loved that both bedrooms had ensuites. Plenty of places to visit in Anglesey, and we really enjoyed exploring the beaches and different towns. We had our Boxer dog with us and found everywhere was dog friendly. The one issue we did have, was immediately addressed by the owner, who went above and beyond to resolve the issue. We were more than happy with our stay and will definitely book again, and would highly recommend to anyone. We really appreciated the welcome pack, of cookies, crisps, tea, coffee, milk and a bottle of prosecco. Thank you

  • Mrs Wilkinson - Verified booking

    Holme Barn is exceptionally well equipped, spacious, comfortable and well located for Hawes and the surrounding area. It is a great advantage to have a parking space next to the cottage in central Hawes. However, the only downside is that the access lane is very narrow and it is quite difficult to manoeuvre anything larger than a mid-sized vehicle into the parking space, especially with the table and chairs and bin store occupying both sides of the parking area. This is not apparent from the cottage description and photos. Great care is needed when using the shower - if the temperature control is turned any higher than lukewarm, the temperature alternates between freezing cold and scalding hot. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Holme Barn and would certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in Hawes.

  • Kyle - Verified booking

    Our stay at Oakdene was fantastic!

    The holiday cottage has everything you could possibly need to ensure a great stay including books, board games, and cleaning supplies. Oakdene was spotlessly clean on arrival as well as a lovely welcome pack which was a nice, personal, touch. The cottage has an information booklet with useful contact details and local amenities and attractions which proved to be very useful. One thing, however, and it's not an issue - if anything, it was a pleasant surprise - we did not know that there was lovely garden furniture at Oakdene as the pictures did not show this, so we brought our own. Hopefully, this will save unnecessary luggage for someone. Overall, this was a superb stay and I would highly recommend anyone thinking about visiting the Cotswolds to stay at Oakdene.

    I will start by thanking all the people involved in making us a beautiful and relaxing vacation.

    The first person is Mrs. Sarah, the one who provided us with all the support and gave us a clean house, for sweet snacks and prosecco.... the second person we thank is the owner of the house, a house with everything, nothing is missing , everything you need to feel at home, all kinds of games for children, books to read for all ages, a well-kept yard, we had a little nature at our place, we are very satisfied with everything and will we will definitely come back one day to these wonderful places.....and also thank the people at sykes for all the details they gave us throughout our vacation, they are professionals and we recommend this website with confidence to anyone to have a successful holiday in all respects.

  • Kath - Verified booking

    Oakdene is a lovely property, well furnished and very comfortable.

    It is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed at; all the kitchen equipment you could possibly need (except for a salad bowl and spinner), and all the necessary under-sink items, including household cleaning sprays, washing machine tabs etc. provided. No need to bring anything at all. Just one suggestion: as the wall cupboards are quite high, a single step stool would be appreciated. Lots of places to visit within a 20-30 minute drive, and buses north to Stratford or south to the Cotswolds pass the door. Due to poor weather we didn’t have the chance to visit all the places we would have liked to see so we will definitely return to Oakdene as soon as we can. Very highly recommended.
