What our customers say about their holidays

  A beautiful old house in a small village.

  We got to feel what it would be like if we owned some kind of small stately home. We had plenty of space, The kitchen was big enough to dine in most evenings and the dining room made a great table for playing games in the evening and my teenage son loved pretty much having an entire floor to himself. The living room was lovely and we could also relax in the evenings there. Facilities were great, although the only shower is up in the very top floor. I know some folks have complained about cobwebs and such and yes the it isn't spotless, but honestly if you want that kind of thing, stay in a hotel. If you want character and an old English house then this is the place for you. There are plenty of things to do all within about 30 minutes drive. If I wanted to return to the area to stay I would have no qualms about staying here again.

  I have used a number of companies that facilitate self catering cottages and all have been really good however i have to say Sykes cottages seem to have gone that extra bit further.

  I was updated prior to the holiday and received useful information on what I could do or see whilst on holiday. I received welcome messages on the day of arrival with useful contact information if i had any questions. Then emails on wishing me a good holiday and reminders on the procedures when leaving at the end of the holiday. Some could say that this was overbearing however it was far from it. All emails where easy to follow and very helpful and let me just worry about enjoying my holiday. I respect of the cottage it far exceeded expectations, ok not in the most picturesque places in The Cotswolds but that not the point. We needed an comfortable, safe clean and and relaxing cottage. This was spot on and with extras, there were rooms we could all stretch out in and rooms to hide away and relax and all so comfortable.

  When we turned up at Chapel House it exceeded our expectations in every way.

  The house is absolutely beautiful. It has been renovated perfectly by the owners and it took my breath away when we walked round. The pictures in the advert do not do the property justice at all. The house had everything we needed for a home to home experience. The games room was a huge hit with our son who pretty much didn’t want to leave, he just wanted to play pool all day. The area is in a nice little village. There is no local, walking distance pub but there is a pub called The Frocester inn and The Old Crown which served nice food at short drive away. The street had a huge field with a fantastic park for the kids, loads of different climbing frames, zip wires etc. there was also a tennis court and a table tennis table. Thank you for a lovely week. We didn’t want to leave.

  A very good stay.

  Very convenient for visiting our son and family in Dursley. Warm and comfortable. Tv great for satellite live channels. I left a written note regarding some 'issues' on leaving the property. These issues were: 1.Upstairs washing basin mixer tap faulty. No hot water if lever moved over to left in one continuous movement. A slow movement to the left can, with care, result in hot water but not without shuddering pipes (waterhammer). 2.Couldn't get BBC iPlayer and Netflix etc to work though. 'Tv not connected to network' message 3.Upstairs bathroom light pull cord needs replacing with a new clean one. Existing one is dirty/unhygenic along whole of its lower half through repeated us over time.

  Beautiful property, lovingly restored by the owners.

  Everything we wanted in a place. Plenty of space. Large, comfortable beds! Pool table, table tennis and table skittles. Bed for the dog. We were a very last minute booking due to an issue with another booking company and although the owner couldn't prepare the house for the first night, they kindly had it ready early the following day. Slightly cold upstairs for my daughter due to some radiators not working in attic rooms, but the owner was aware and awaiting a plumber - but we had arrived with little notice so there was no chance to sort in advance. Certainly can't complain!
