  • John

    Property was clean and well presented facilities were excellent , beds extremely comfortable and location was ideal , garden was a plus with 2 small pets

  • Michelle

    Only downside to our stay the sofa and chairs were too tiny for 4, and so very uncomfortable it felt like you were sliding off the sofa.

  • Cathy

    Bed not comfortable in back bedroom. General feeling of dampness everywhere - clothes felt wet. Furniture flimsy and insubstantial. Glass coffee table on patio smashed and glass shards all over patio and dangerous. Visitor logbook had recent reviews ripped out. Handbook did not match Sykes instructions.
