“The property has some good points, such as its easy accessibility to local attractions and the great views from the front of the house, which we enjoyed.”

However, there were a number of issues that impacted our stay. On arrival, there was only one toilet roll provided, the house had a noticeable damp smell, and access was made difficult by overgrown bushes around the entrance. The bins were already full of rubbish and gave off a bad smell. The outdoor space at the back of the property was not suitable for spending time in, which was disappointing. In addition, the front outdoor chair was broken, and my daughter almost fell when trying to sit ...

However, there were a number of issues that impacted our stay. On arrival, there was only one toilet roll provided, the house had a noticeable damp smell, and access was made difficult by overgrown bushes around the entrance. The bins were already full of rubbish and gave off a bad smell. The outdoor space at the back of the property was not suitable for spending time in, which was disappointing. In addition, the front outdoor chair was broken, and my daughter almost fell when trying to sit on it. This felt unsafe and needs urgent attention. Overall, while the location and views were positive, the lack of basic provisions and maintenance significantly detracted from the stay. With better upkeep and attention to guest comfort and safety, this property could offer a much better experience.

The outdoor space has been jet washed and bushes trimmed back. we have spoken with a waste collection company. The bench has been removed and were are currently instating a new bench. The cottage has been thoroughly deep cleaned, we have found no issues with damp within the property. however we will keep an eye on this. thank you for you feedback Property Owner

“I booked this cottage for 5 days and was very disappointed with the condition of the property and the lack of response from Sykes Cottages.”

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a strong damp, sweaty smell as though the house had not been ventilated for weeks. The cottage was clearly not cleaned properly – spider webs were everywhere (including one in the front bedroom with around 12 spiders), and there was dust in every corner, which triggered my 9-year-old son’s dust allergy. Outside, an overgrown plant obstructed the steep steps, making us unsafe to use. I kept receiving constant emails from Sykes Cottages reminding me to keep the house clean or risk a £200 deduction, which made it feel less like a holiday and more like I was there to do their cleaning. Despite reporting these issues, neither the company nor the owner responded, which is unacceptable given the high prices they charge. It’s clear the owner is not maintaining the property properly and instead relies on guests to leave it clean. I even gave Sykes Cottages two weeks to respond before leaving this review, but I’ve heard nothing back, which says everything about their poor service.

“Property was clean and had sufficient space.”

Main issue is with the kitchen. We had the oven on for 20 minutes and it was still stone cold, so gave up with that. The hob was either burning things or really slow no in-between. No instructions were left about the bins so took initiative and just put it in the green bin outside. Also no instructions left about bedding or anything so have placed all dirty stuff on bed to be washed, but wasn't sure if this was what they wanted us to do. Parking was not allocated but there was a decent amount outside, some times a couple of houses down though. The steps up to the property are quite steep and there are steps going to the kitchen and master bedroom. The garden has multiple levels up separate flights of stairs. Toilet roll was placed in a cupboard downstairs, which is not expected, but at least there was some. Overall, ok for sleeping, but could not do anything fancy in the kitchen.
