Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property to be tidy and well-maintained, while others reported issues such as cobwebs, dirty dishes, and a mouldy hot tub. The property seems to require more consistent cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its great views, peacefulness, and proximity to local amenities and walks. It is described as private yet conveniently close to towns, pubs, and restaurants.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, highlighting the modern kitchen, cosy bedrooms, and outdoor seating. However, some mentioned hard beds and pillows, and issues with a door lock which affected their comfort.
Facilities like the hot tub, outdoor seating, and BBQ are highlights, but some guests reported maintenance issues such as a broken back door and the need for hot tub cleaning. The presence of building materials also detracted from the experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Firstly the area is stunning upon arrival the views of the surrounding area was spectacular, as city dwellers the peaceful silence was welcomed. We met the owners absolutely charming family very friendly but also non intrusive (very important) we were left to our own devices. The 2 bedroom property was immaculate with lots of towels, utensils etc we needed nothing. The hot tub was brilliant we used it every night of our stay. Would highly recommend this property and we will be using it again, top farm top stay!!

We booked having looked at the photographs on the website but I feel I must warn others that these photos are not up to date and that the presentation and cleanliness of the property is not accurately represented. The outside area especially was extremely disappointing. The hot tub was a health hazard with dirty water, green algae around and filters covered in slime- absolutely incapable of filtering anything. The lid of the hot tub is broken so it lets in rain water. The outside furniture is very tired and the cushions are filthy. There were broken plant pots and old broken furniture left around. The fire pit had not been cleared nor the grass mown as shown in the photographs. The view from the bedroom is countryside but also the building site next door. I take no pleasure in writing this review but I feel compelled to as in its current state it will leave others feeling as bitterly disappointed as we were. I have contacted the owner directly but he hasnât responded. He has to accept that he needs support to maintain the âoutstandingâ grade of his property. It is not âoutstandingâ currently so please book with caution. Additionally, Sykes are impossible to communicate with if you do have a problem. Please read your booking conditions as it seems they have no interest in quality control and ensuring their properties are accurately represented on their website. Who knows what you could arrive at.
