2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness

Downstairs old and dirty

We only stayed one night the downstairs was awful. Smelly settee old kettle and toaster, dirty mat by door. Cooker hob had cracks in every corner. The upstairs, bedroom was fine and bathroom, the outside needed a lot of updating. What a waste of money, we booked through Sykes cottages they obviously do not have regular checks on property at least they certainly did not with this one !!!

Excellent quaint lovely village

All necessities and more is provided not much storage in the kitchen area but didn't bother us as didn't do cooking. Ideal location wonderful welcome pack. Bedroom and bathroom high standard as is rest of cottage. The only concern be it little was there was a crack on the corner of ceramic hob so was careful around that area other than that perfect cottage owners lovely warm and welcoming would definitely stay again
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017
