The only issue that we have is that the listing states "Guests will benefit from discount at James' Places group pubs and hotels in the area". However, when we came to pay our bill at The Assheton Arms, the staff denied all knowledge of this and refused a discount. There is clearly an issue somewhere between James' Places and Sykes Cottages that needs to be addressed to remove this false advertising.

The rooms themselves were very generous size wise as tastefully decorated, loved that each room had an en-suite. The cottage was easy to find and the surroundings were beautifully kept.

The cottage is beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need. An outdoor area would have been useful as we had such great weather, but we sat ourselves out on the cobbled front to enjoy the sun anyway! Absolutely delightful weekend away!
