What our customers say about their holidays

  We absolutely loved our stay in The Annexe.

  Came for 4 nights with just me, 2 teenagers and the dog in a fairly rainy week, so was slightly nervous about keeping them all entertained and happy - but needn't have worried! The house was immaculately clean (and I mean, totally, utterly, spotless clean) and we couldn't have asked for better, more modern and comfortable facilities (my first time cooking on an induction hob - worked a treat!!). The lovely owners even provided us with a home-baked cake and cookies - they didn't last long with the teenagers in the house! Wi-Fi had a super strong signal, so we were able to stream movies, play games on our devices etc with no problems (essential with 2 teenagers in tow!). Plenty of piping hot water for showers or a bath, too. The beautiful but also wildlife-friendly garden and views from The Annexe were magnificent - I had a real stinker of a cold on our holiday, so spent a lot of time happily sat in the reclining lounge chairs reading and watching the birds coming to the feeders out the window. The location was perfect for a big range of activities too - we went to Go Ape, Goodrich Castle, Symonds Yat and the Taurus Crafts shops & cafe, but saw many other places we would've loved to explore if we'd had a longer stay. All were dog-friendly and lovely places to go (essential as my dog has separation anxiety so has to come everywhere with me). We loved our break in The Annexe and couldn't recommend it more highly as a place to stay.

  We’ve just stayed for a week at the olde house with family, (4 Adults, 2 children) and were delighted with our stay & choice of property.

  The property is well equipt and had everything we required for our stay. The owners Jane & Peter were great and live close by which is a bonus. Friendly people and to hand but at the same time not intrusive. The Garden is fantastic and very well maintained. We enjoyed many evenings sat out on the patio admiring the garden. Great garden furniture & BBQ is available for cooking outdoors. The garden was also secure and our 8 month old Labrador also loved it. This property is situated in a small quiet village location so ideal if this is what you are looking for. As there were six of us staying we utilised the snug as a third bedroom which was fine as this left the lounge & dining area along with the patio via sliding doors from the lounge for living spaces. The bed in the snug is a high quality sofa bed that looked new and we both commented on how comfortable this was. To summarise this property ticked all of the boxes & we wouldn’t hesitate recommending to others. It’s a property we will look to stay at again in the future. Thanks Jane & Peter. Best regards, Kevin & family.

  We just loved this cottage from the moment we walked through the door.

  The comfortable lounge with the open fire and everything needed in a home from home. We particularly liked the older part of the building with so many original features. Just loved the enormous old fire place in the snug. The stairs and doors amazing, what stories they could tell. We slept very well and often late. We spent a lot of time sitting on the patio listening to the birdsong and watching the bees and butterflies busy in the borders and relaxing. The garden itself is enormous and extends a long way back. We recommend The Alma at Linton. You don't need to drive vast distances to find places to visit, Monmouth, Ross on Wye, Forest of Dean to name a few. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather for time of the year. Lots of wild daffodils everywhere. Thank you Jane and Peter for a lovely holiday. Thank you Jane for the Chinese lanterns and Cyclamen plants which are now in our garden in Lincolnshire.

  This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Mill.

  The first being Christmas and NY 2019/2020 before Covid . We had both the Mill and the Dairy for our family Christmas , absolutely amazing. I can 100% say it’s one of our best Sykes stays . We had it just for the Easter Wknd and the following week . What an absolutely fantastic week we had , the weather wasn’t the best but we still had an amazing time . Plenty of adventures local and went as far as Hay on Wye and Breacon . The land that comes with the cottage is fantastic and we would walk the legs off our dogs ( Vizsla & GSP ) every morning and then clean them off in the lake on the way back . I can not fault the Mill in any way considering we had two teenagers with us and not once did we hear the dreaded “ I’m board “ . That makes a massive difference to our sanity. We will definitely be back sooner next time Matt , Sam , Kids & hounds

  The old mill was lovely.

  It was a special anniversary so our children and Our dog came along.everything spotless and well equipped.the garden was safe for poppy to roam and a stream to keep cool.iIt was the weekend of the Record breaking temps but was cool and lovely in the barn even in the very glass kitchen.the owner opened the windows for us before arrival.thank you. A beautiful lake at bottom of the garden which was perfect with swans ducks herons. Nice pub/and food a short walk away.We were lucky no one staying in the smaller barn alongside. I think it would have totally altered our experience having non family so close to us and keeping poppy away from Their area. All in all good perfect for us all to be together in countryside thank you.
