Despite the lack of onsite parking, (parking on the road outside was convenient and we never had any difficulty finding a space each evening) the place had- or was within easy walking distance of - everything we could have desired. We spent our evenings in the snug little lounge on the second floor but we missed the variety of Freeview stations we were used to, but that seemed to be due to the location (phone signals were a bit hit or miss, too) Kitchen facilities were as good as at home and the (very) local pub and restaurant served excellent meals. Access to buses was very convenient for two concessionary bus pass holders ! We loved it despite the three narrow staircases, and the bath was a real luxury compared with the customary shower. We'll be looking at Sykes Cottages again when we come to plan our holiday for 2024.

It is well equipped and cosy. It could do with a handrail on the right hand side from the lounge to the kitchen .
