What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed here last October and everything was absolutely perfect.

  The owners were very helpful and friendly and were around if we needed them (we didn't) but gave us our privacy. We had the most wonderful, relaxing time away. The lodge itself was very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and was very well equipped, with a lot more included than any other lodge we have stayed in before, with lots of extras which the owners kindly thought of (delicious and generous welcome pack, dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets etc). The starter pack for the log burner was enough to last us all week! (though the Lodge was plenty warm without it) The indoor hot tub was very clean (which the owners tested by a seperate door early in morning, so they do not intrude) and worked perfectly and the fluffy towels, robes and slippers provided were a very welcome touch. The location of the lodge was perfect for us, with lovely views from inside and outside and nice walks on doorstep. It felt remote (which is what we were looking for) as was down a country lane but wasn't really as is still close (10 min drive) to the two towns with bars, resutrants and all the amenities you could need. We were lazy a few times and even got takeaway delivered to the lodge! The only slight downside was lots of flys around due to the fact it is on a cow farm but the owners did all they can by providing fly spray etc and in reality, the owners can't control flys! It didn't impact the holiday much. We are planning on hopefully coming back this year and have already recommended it to lots of people we know. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday and all the little touches that made our stay perfect.

  The house itself was well equipped and the owners were friendly.

  When you could neither open nor close the outside doors without the use of force, they immediately tried to solve the problem. They couldn‘t. They told us, it must be because of the extreme weather- conditions. The next problem was the heat in the house. You simply could not air the house, because the only window to provide a stream of air was fixed and therefore not to open. In our son‘s room was boiling heat. The large bedroom was slightly better because of the two windows. Also you could not sit outside because there was no sunshade. The neighbour- house was better, because they had the shadow of large trees in the late afternoon. Two times the wifi broke down but worked again a couple of hours later. A minor problem was that the tub- water wasn‘t cold but mostly hot because of the extreme outside heat. The dinner- table is too big for the place. A maximum of two people can sit there. Not four. Since we stayed there for two weeks we appreciated that on the first friday our beds were made and the floor hovered. The owner charged no extra- fee for that. As a summary we would rather not choose the house again even though it was rather cheap.

  The Lodge is a great place and in a stunning location.

  Both Sue and Rodger are the perfect hosts as they are around if ever you needed them.The standard of equipment and crockery is the very best with more than enough plates and dishes ( all of which are matching ) to cater for 4 people. The Lodge has a feeling of comfort due to its comfortable furniture and layout of the kitchen where everything is in the right place so you don`t have to spend time looking for things. The interior is nice and bright due to it having been painted rather than plain wood. The bathroom is nice and large and there is always plenty of very hot water.The location is very near the top of Smokey Lane a track which has a few bumps and holes but its not an issue, and we both agree that the location is fantastic, with views over to Bredon hill and across open fields where you can see a range of birds and perhaps even deer if you are lucky.There are also plenty of walks from your front door along footpaths and tracks. We would love to go back when summer is in full swing just so that we could sit outside and watch the grass grow. A Great holiday thanks Sue and Rodger. I would even go back just for the Chocolate Brownies.

  The cottage was lovely, the park was spotless and the staff were so happy, friendly and helpful.

  We were provided with towels, slippers and dressing gowns which was a delightful surprise and made the hot tub experience even better. Unfortunately, Sykes Cottages do need to take a look at their listing for this cottage. It is only in the (very) small print does it tell you it is on a park - we took this to be like a national park and had no idea it was on a caravan park until we received a pre-visit call from the site. The listing also advised a pub within a mile - again it did not say that the "pub" (club house) was directly outside the front door of this cottage. Due to this misleading advertising from Sykes Cottages we were not looking forward to our holiday, but luckily it did turn out to be lovely and the park was very quiet. This misleading of information is in no way a representation of the park but Sykes Cottages themselves. Luckily for us it all turned out well. I will be very cautious in using Sykes in the future and would advise the park to review Sykes listing and information just for accuracy

  Hoden View is a clean, bright and well appointed cottage with all the amenities you need.

  The owners had very kindly left a bottle of wine and some other provisions for us on our our arrival. There is ample parking and the cottage is nice and private. It is in easy reach of places of interest such as Broadway. There are plenty of footpaths and bridleways nearby which was great for us as we have a dog. Due to previous heavy rain many of the paths were very boggy - but that is hardly the fault of the owner. The cottage is situated down a single-track lane approximately 1 mile from the nearest village. Whilst it is nice and secluded, it is a bit of a trek on dark winter nights if you wish to visit the local pub. The furnishings and facilities are all first class. Our only slight criticism was the double bed which was a little too soft for our liking. We would definitely recommend Hoden View to other visitors, but it might be wise leaving it until the lighter nights when the walk to the pub would be more pleasant and the fields would be drier for walking the dog.
