I love that there are plenty supplies, towels, toilet rolls, washing up liquid, etc plus tea, coffee, milk. You can get on with holidaying without having to think about what you need for âhome.â A very relaxing place.

One of our favourite places. The sun shone for us too! The cottage has everything we need and is home from home, my grandsons loved the top bedroom! We will return soon!

The cottage was really clean and it was a really nice touch that it was so well stocked with dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls etc and a nice touch to have wine, came and milk left for us on arrival! Unfortunately, there a few downsides to it. The cottage needs a bit of maintenance and is quite worn in places. The landing light is broken with the switch being pulled out and the kitchen filing was coming off. The biggest issue we had was with the boiler, which started to smell really strongly. We couldnât use the lean to at all (where the boiler was) and had to keep the door to the lean to closed all the time to try and prevent the boiler fumes getting in the house. This was added to by the fact there was no carbon monoxide alarm so we had no idea if the boiler was safe! The real issue came when we tried to get help with this as unfortunately the owner wasnât responding to messages (it turns out heâd been in hospuatal, which fair enough if thatâs the case) and neither were Sykes. Sykes were so difficult to contact, in the end I contacted them on Facebook as they didnât respond to the online or telephone number. They couldnât have cared less that we were at risk from a faulty boiler!! In the end I just switched the boiler off so we had no hot water. Eventually Sykes did get hold of the owner but this was on our last full day in the property abd he came out on our last evening to look at the boiler. Such a shame as this was our big family holiday abd itâs not cheap to rent these cottages and the boiler issue really marred our stay as I was not at all comfortable with it, the smell was so strong! Also, there were only five dining chairs for six people so we couldnât all sit up and enjoy a meal together, although it wasnât a big deal as there was plenty of seating in the lounge.
