  We've used Sykes before and stayed in Stockbatch Granary also on the Pitchford Estate in 2022.

  We therefore knew what to expect from the description of the farm track to the property. It was actually much better than we thought and perfectly OK if car has decent ground clearance and you take it slowly. Yes your car will get mucky but the roads around are mucky too. It was so fabulous to be somewhere so peaceful during 'firework week'. We didn't hear a single bang so great for our dogs. The garden was secure/enclosed enough for our dogs who are larger and don't tend to wander but smaller dogs or escape artists would get through the railings. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door although sadly one footbridge through the woods was damaged. Walking around the estate lake was a nice stroll with autumn colour. Sadly clouds meant no dark skies but with zero light pollution I'd imagine this is a great place for stargazing. Bit of a drive to any pubs but most seemed Dog Friendly. The Pound does fabulous pies. If I'm being super picky another sofa would be good if 4 adults in the property but we made do. Contrary to a previous review, there is a microwave (the top oven is a combi). Would definitely return, the garden would be a great suntrap in the summer. Easy to clean although a mop would have been useful (there was a head but no handle). Wifi was fast enough for me to do a couple of days work and for streaming catchup TV on the freesat.

  You can tell the owners have put a lot of love and effort into making the place feel high standard. No cheap furniture, everything was high quality and it showed and was appreciated. Bed was super comfy and the bedding was lovely. Roll top bath was a joy to relax into. We received a lovely warm welcome and everything felt personalised down to providing us with a personal list of things we might enjoy based on our conversation we had about what we like to do. Received fresh flowers and wine on arrival and thank you for the special touch at the Angel for our celebrations. And a great meal choice too! We stayed 3 nights here, everything felt peaceful and away from it all. And I think they have been really creative with how they’ve designed the property. I would recommend to others. Thank you Anya. You made it a lovely stay.

  Beautiful property in a stunning location.

  If you want peace, quiet and tranquility this is the place for you. We wanted for nothing, everything was thought of from the fresh farm eggs and Welsh cakes in the welcome pack, to the pint of milk in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar and all the cleaning products you would ever need. They missed nothing, even a welcome pack for the dog! The property is clean and fresh, very comfy bed, sofa not so much. The small enclosed garden is lovely, although the wall is lower in some places than others, take care if you have an escape artist! We had a lovely week just relaxing and recharging those batteries, hot tub helped here too! There are things to see and do in the area just be mindful to relax and take time and care on the narrow roads. Well worth a visit, the surrounding countryside is stunning and quiet. We loved it.

  Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone, barn is lovely and couldn’t fault anything.

  Very clean and tidy on arrival, hot tub & log burner are amazing on the cold nights. Owners Lowri & Gwyn are brilliant should you need anything - we also got to meet Freddie (dog) the star of the show ! Very quiet in the local area, lots of wildlife and it gives you a real break from the world. Loads of great walks within 30-40mins drive of the barns - also your own private mountain behind the barns from which you can see for miles around once at the top… Dog friendly (we took our Labrador) we did read some reviews of the bigger barn not being secure for dogs due to the fence facing the road, during our stay the owners had this replaced with a more secure fence suitable for dogs. We will certainly be back !!

  This was the perfect secluded stay we wanted.

  The price for the modern pod is such a bargain! Normally places like this are about £200 more so we were thankful we found what we were looking for which was affordable. The animals around the farm were a cute bonus!! We enjoyed looking at the cows, sheep, goats and donkeys. Thank you for such a lovely stay. Just note there is a lodge and a pod, if the lodge has been booked you are required to drive up a steep mud track for the pod parking. I was lucky as there was no one staying in the lodge so I could park in there parking which is just road as I felt uncomfortable driving up the other steep mud track! Might or might not be a deal breaker for some so thought it’s worth mentioning but :)
