“Vigo Cottage was a delight! It was very well equipped, well appointed, & decorated beautifully for Christmas. The wood burner added a very cosy atmosphere in the chilly weather. The greeting pack of bread, butter, milk, tea & coffee was very much appreciated too! All round a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas break, thank you!”
“We had a lovely Christmas break here. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. The Christmas gifts left by the Christmas Tree, was a very thoughtful, kind gesture, thank you very much. The lack of Wifi was no issue to us at all, as we had enough on our phones to look at tickets etc.
I could see the low beams being an issue, but as we are 5ft & 5.7ft. It wasn't really an issue. I would recommend Twincote.”
“This is a gorgeous, modern, well equipped cottage. Ross the owner provided great communication prior to our arrival. We were greeted with a plethora of goodies from the owner, which was a very nice touch.
The cottage has a large living room, kitchen and downstairs toilet. Upstairs there are 2 large, modern bedrooms, a bathroom with free standing bath, shower cubicle and toilet.
The temperature was set via a thermostat in the living room which could be manually adjusted. We only altered it a couple of times, as we found the set temperature of 21 degrees very comfortable.
The location is close to many pubs and 2 supermarkets. There is no outside space, but at this time of the year it is not needed. We found many lovely walks a short drive away.
The standard of the cottage and cleanliness is exemplary. We will definitely return.”
“Excellent break away over Christmas, staying in damson lodge whitecross bay. Smooth key collection well equipped with everything you could need very nice hot tub. Overall stay was great.”
“I've used sykes holiday cottages a few times and so far I haven't had any problems. Its easy to book and affordable prices as well. Will definitely recommend”
“The property (the Old Post Office) was lovely and in a ggreat location , however when we arrived the main bathroom had not been cleaned , the toilet and sink was dirty. The rest of the property was fine so I am not going to make a big issue about it as it obviously got forgotten or overlooked. Also as we had 4 adults in the property there was only 2 mugs , 2 wine glasses so we had to go out and buy extra. Very small issues but these little details make a difference of a good place and an excellent place”
“We stayed over the Christmas period was lovely. The cabin was cute and the area was beautiful. The only thing we had trouble with was there’s not an oven and we struggled working out how to use the microwave/grill//convection oven as not used one before. Was a lovely stay though”
“Watermead was excellent, the hosts friendly, the welcome gifts generous, the setting beautiful, the house comfortable and warm and well equipped. We have used your company since you took over Menai Cottages many years ago and you manage some outstanding properties but I find your marketing policy tedious and intrusive. Fewer emails would be welcome.”
“We stayed at 8 church lane tean. The owner popped over on our arrival to light the wood burner which was lovely . They also left us a wonderful welcome pack including bread, butter, milk, orange juice and mince pies . The property was exactly as described, super clean and cosy. Booking was simple and communication with sykes was excellent”
“Lovely little place. We went for a Christmas break and it was perfect! My son said that his bed was so comfortable that it was the best nights sleep he had ever had.
Little cold on arrival, obviously with it being December. But the heating works well and extra heaters were provided, so it warmed up quickly.
No problems with anything, everything worked as it should. I appreciated the cute little Christmassy extras like a tree, snowman toilet paper & Christmas tea towels. Also, a nice little tray of biscuits, tea & coffee were provided.
Would definitely visit again.”
“Hygge at number 8 was beautifully presented and clean. It catered very nicely for our needs - a comfortable place to relax at the end of days exploring the Lakes.
Instructions were clear and concise, it may be helpful, however to add a note about using the magnetic key fob to open the inside main entrance door.”
“We had a lovely week in the annex, beautiful beach walks and nice and cosy in the evenings.
The owners were very friendly and quick to sort out any issues.
Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.”
