“Overall a very very nice stay, however there are a few points that we need to make where we believe improvements could be made.
1. The seating in the lounge needs more thought as if there were six people staying there wouldn't be enough for everyone.
2. One of the seats in the lounge is not very comfortable.
3. There is no large mirror for doing makeup etc.
4. A dressing table could be placed near the window in the ensuite bedroom.
Even though I have pointed out the negatives of the property we felt that it was in a good location to explore the surrounding areas. It is possible to walk into the centre within 20 minutes and I can recommend the Ludlow brewery (near the train station). We ate out once at the Squirrel pub and if we'd not downloaded a 40% discount we would have been extremely disappointed.
Overall a decent place to stay.”
“The actual booking our cottage went fine on the website, money went through etc..until the next day when our booking was cancelled as the owners couldn't accommodate us with no explanation at all. The website had allowed us to book Weds to Weds as it was out of season and clearly said bookings from April 1st until 31st Oct sat to sat only..so we assumed that was fine! Apparently not..e mail arrived cancelling it. A phonecall rather than an email could have cleared it up in minutes! Tried WhatsApp chat..nothing so the next day I rang Sykes up who ammended our booking..explained what had happened etc..until that point it was handled very badly..but thank you to that agent who took the time to explain and make sure everything was sorted.”
“The booking process was straightforward. As we booked three weeks from going we paid in full. The details of how to pick up the keys was sent. We look forward to the visit”
“I was very apprehensive about taking my two doggies away by myself.
However I couldn't have chosen a better place. Dru met me on arrival, and is such a welcoming and helpful host. The pod had everything I could have needed for my 3 night stay, it was spotlessly clean and cosy. The large fenced area and beautiful views made my stay complete.
The dogs absolutely loved it and would have slept outside if allowed.
I will definitely be returning in the near future.”
“Lovely setting. Well equipped cottage. Great location to explore Weymouth area. We did have Issues with television as could not navigate the unconventional way that the freeview needed to be switched on. Rang and owner called back 5 mins after I left a message and tried to resolve. Someone came from the pub to help which resolved it for that evening but unable to use it again during the week.perhaps some in depth instruction is needed in the info book? Everything else was fine with cottage and had a lovely stay.”
“We had a wonderful stay at How End. The position is fantastic for accessing all sorts of areas without having to negotiate lots of challenging roads. We found so many beautiful walks, both popular and quiet. The house itself was gorgeous; the view from the huge window is stunning, but I could sit outside for hours looking across at the scene. Amenities were great. House had everything we needed, loads of crockery, cutlery, cooking equipment… loads of rooms and spaces to spread out if needed some quiet time and the numerous bathrooms meant there was never a queue! Would happily go back - just the most wonderful property in a fabulous situation. Thank you very much indeed!
A couple of minor things (but didn’t impact our stay overall) - the pool table has holes/wear in the felt and apparently the mattress in the red room (master bedroom) dipped in the middle so my in-laws rolled into each other (which they didn’t seem to overly appreciate!). Just a couple of things that might need a look. Aside from this it was truly wonderful and I could have stayed forever!”
“We stayed at Middleton Hall in the North Wing. The accommodation was clean and very impressive. Staff were on site most days to deal with any questions. The site included two fishing lakes and a small play area which was great for the kids.”
“LOVE Sykes Cottages. So many beautiful places available on this site for perfect stay cations. We try to book every year through Sykes and never had an issue yet! The functionality of the site when browsing and booking is so easy and straightforward. Thank you!”
“Vicky was very helpful. Polite and patient with the questions I asked about the property in question. The call regarding the booking took around 20 minutes, mainly due to the fact that I needed clarification regarding some details of the property. Call was handled well, and booking was completed.”
“Lovely property, it was spacious and clean. Perfect accommodation for a large family group with a great little playroom and enclosed garden. Beautiful views.”
“The booking process was really easy. I've booked holidays through Sykes a few times and they have never disappointed me. I've searched the internet for away places and Sykes is my go to favourite.”
“On our first, and only, experience of Sykes Cottages we would rate them very highly.
The self catering stay at Carn Eve in Sennenn Cove was excellent. All the facilities were exactlly as promised.
Although there was a "caretaker" ,Jason available we had no reason to call on hime and were left to enjoy a troublefree family holiday in beautiful surroundings All 13 of us.
Thanks.”
