I think itâs our favourite Sykes Cottage stay ever. The view is so epic - who needs a TV when you have that to watch! We saw a pair of Buzzards, deer and pheasants and watching the weather change in the valley was mesmerising. (Only once itâs dark do you bother to watch TV!) The facilities of the property are great with all you need for your stay. The cake and milk on arrival are a lovely touch. The property itself is spacious, to a high spec with beautiful furnishings, comfortable bed and all you need to live comfortably. The dogs were totally at home and loved the freedom with many footpaths to immediately explore. The swimming pool is a fab extra too. We can recommend Woods of Whitchurch and Ye Old Ferrie Inn for food and drink. Watching the river even in the rain was mesmerising and the walks by the river are great to explore. One of our favourite mini breaks and would definitely come again. Thanks so much for making our stay so special.
