What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived on the Friday afternoon.

  A telephone call to Vicki, the site manager, allowed us through the entrance barrier with directions to the Lodge and the key code to the property. On entering, we found a large spacious lodge with everything we would need for our stay. The whole lodge was clean and immaculate. Shortly after arriving Vicki came to introduce herself and told us that should any problem arise, she was on the site 24/7. What was immediately noticable was how quiet the site was. The lodges are well spaced out so you get no noise from other visitors. For us, the main attraction of this site was the fishing lake that is well stocked with several different fish species. Not having fished for several decades, we were amazed at how quickly the fish took our bait (garlic sausage being the favorite for the smaller fish). There are also some very large Carp that will take floating bread from the surface right in front of you. After a hard days fishing, it was great to spend the evening relaxing in the large Hot Tub. Outside the site their are several places to eat within a 5 minute drive. I would recommend Demiens on the next roundabout towards Lincoln on the A46 and Pennels Garden Centre directly across the first roundabout. We have stayed in Lodges all over the country three to four time a year and usually never go back to the same place. However, this lodge, the surrounding area and the fishing lake will see us again soon. I would highly recommend a stay at Sunset Lodge No6.

  Any upstairs property is likely to be a bit uncomfortable in hot weather as the best can be done is to have lots of fans!

  Realistically it was a bit like being in a caravan with some space restrictions. Get the impression it used to be more popular some time ago, for the owners, whilst friendly, are perhaps a little amateur despite being in this business for a long time. Have to be confident remembering the last passing place as you travel the single-track lanes 2miles from Necton where there is a good Co-op shop and filling station. Only real problems on site were the kettle tripping the whole power system until it was replaced as there were no spare plug fuses. You need to make toast with the door open or the fire alarm goes off. Wi-Fi was perfectly OK - it just needs a quick mention in the cottage information sheets. The siting is only disappointing if you want to walk a lot as the restrictions on where you can walk because of private properties make it very difficult to work out from the maps provided in the information sheets. Endless hot water should you want it but offset by silly things: only one loo roll supplied and minimal quantities of sugar/tea/coffee like a hotel room. Comfy bed, decent shower. Compared with many Sykes Cottages we have visited, this was well down the scale, though not a disaster.

  The property was clean and well maintained.

  In a nice setting in a rural location but access to well stocked Coop, fuel and Costa close by. We used it as a base to travel from and as such racked up some miles as there is not too much close by, but it suited us. It has character, but also a well equiped modern kitchen for eating in. I found the settee comfortable for evenings in, but the bed somewhat firm and not very comfortable for my liking. The breakfast bar isn't great if you are the person on the right under the sloping ceiling. Be prepared to accept that you will almost certainly crack your head against the ceiling a few times during your stay as you go into the bedroom! Final point is that the WiFi really is painfully slow. I mean pre bradband dial up slow! It regulalrly cuts out making research and booking visits & events, or even just keeping up with emails very difficult and infuriating. This really needs sorting as in the modern world it does detract from the visitor experience. Most would rather pay a little more for good broadband and the ability to stream to phone, TV etc. DVD's no longer cut it!

  I would like to start with the good reviews first.

  The Lodge was perfect with very good comments in the visitors book. All conveniences were catered for. The owner was a lovely lady and pleasant to talk to. Now for the not so good. The Lodge was not heated sufficiently for November. We looked in the information book to see if we could change it. The only thing we found was a statement that it was heated to a correct temperature for comfort so need not be altered. The main bedroom never reached over 18 It was a good job we brought thick clothes. I always take throws away and they came in handy. Further the quilt on the bed was very light for the time of year and no extra blankets provided. Again my throws came in handy. I want to end on a lighter note, despite my comments. would we come again! definitely. But perhaps not so late in the year. Dorothy

  Sadly, we had to leave the cottage early.

  We found the general site lacking in attention. The stairs to the cottage were open tread, and in need of some repairs. We were led to believe that our dog would have plenty of space to run, but this was not the case, we were instructed to keep him on a lead whenever we were outside. Outside needed some care and attention, broken flower pots at the entrance to the cottage, just one small example. The cottage was very small, this was not a problem in itself, but the shower was only about two feet square, i couldn't even bend down to wash my feet, (no, my wife and I are not overweight, I am 12 stone my wife 11! It is not somewhere we would recommend. We left early, partly for domestic reasons, and partly because of our dis-satisfaction with the cottage, such a shame. Tony Tomkinson
