It was also nice and warm all day and night with the heatpump system which I had doubts about how efficient they are. Would recommend Sykes holiday cottages for self catering holidays, in fact we already booked our next cottage for next year.

Cosy, well equipped and the utility room was a real bonus. I especially loved looking out onto the huge back garden (which the dogs loved) and across the fields to the sea. We definitely intend to return.
